“ Tocaya Organica is such a special weekly tradition! Their tacos are healthy and hearty. And a great value on Tuesday ranging from 2.50-4.00. Lots of options for every dietary need. They have a ton of gluten-free options, including the delicious churro waffles. Thank you to Juliet for always making our family feel so welcome! Pro Tips: - Request your receipt as there are sometimes food errors...give them grace as Tuesday’s are busy! - Prepare to wait a bit for your meal to arrive - Parking can be tough in the area, so plan ahead ”
“ I came back here for the first time in years. The first time since last decade, and it seems even better than I remember it. The one staff member they had their it seems serving everyone, Elisa, made sure of that. In a world where I'm so accustomed to restaurants declining in quality and cutting corners over time, I had a great experience. Elisa, one of their workers was taking orders, delivering the food to the tables, clearing and cleaning tables by herself, and was knowledgeable about the menu. The service was excelent despite this place being understaffed. I'd definitely come back here again, and recommend it to lots of people. I ordered every taco on the menu and more. I was also here with my vegan friend who was satisfied with the selection of vegan friendly options. So if you're vegetarian or vegan this place may also be a great option for you. ”
“ Best vegan tacos! Definitely coming back for Taco Tuesdays! ”
“ Upscale modern Mexican food. I got the street corn bowl with chicken which was delicious. My friend got the bean bowl with avocado. We got the margarita which was extremely strong if you like that kind of thing. It has a weird almost smoky after taste. The strawberry basil juice was really refreshing and you can get free refills also. Try both of the Sriracha’s as well. Spicy but tasty. I would 100% recommend this place. The staff are also very friendly! ”
“ Fresh California Mexican style food that really disappoints....(Grilled flavor are great) And their drinks are well done too. ”
“ Truly a wonderful surprise while walking in beautiful Santa Monica city. The ambiance caught my attention , very modern and minimalistic , and when I checked the menu , I truly wanted to try the tacos. Well , I was extremely surprised by the quality of the Tacos and also of the side dishes , like the street corn and the Agua Fresca of Pineapple and Jalapeno (amazing flavor indeed).Also the fresh salsa and the chips are excellent. The only problem with this place is parking , but oh well , that's the life in Southern California. Price was on spot for the quality offered here too. I will definitely come back or to the other locations in Los Angeles. ”

“ Tocaya is an amazing place to eat when on the West side. We originally came to visit and hang out in Santa Monica. Me and my girlfriend decided to get away from the food tourist traps on the Santa Monica strip. This place accommodates to those that prefer meat and those that are vegetarian. The tacos were great but I throughly enjoyed the quesadilla- great portions of meat and the cheese was fabulous. My lady got the sweet corn tamale and tofu burrito. The GF was a huge fan of this place as well as myself. Rare to find a place that accommodates to both ends of the food spectrum. So good we had to make sure there were other locations that we could both be beyond satisfied. Definitely coming back to try some other items on the well thought out menu. ”
