    I'm giving this a three to be generous- it's not as bad as a 2 but not quite a three - I rounded…read moreup. First, the good - the decor and ambiance is great. The bathroom - very clean. My chicken breast was good (everything else on the plate was bland), and my daughter's green enchiladas were ok. My husband's birria quesadilla was very good according to him and my daughter. The service was awful! The waitress handed us iPad menus and never said to order on the tablet or if she was going to come back for our order. The menu is not extensive, just fyi. You can only get taco platters with all the same taco meat, not a variety. The enchiladas are also only 1 way for all three on the plate. Whatever...I can deal with that, if the food was great. It's not. The black beans were room temp with no seasoning, the corn on the cob - no salt, no butter. The guac was also bland. We were never offered water refills and she never asked us if we wanted a drink until after our meals came. We didn't, but it was said with a huge sigh and eye-roll. As a side note, this was a grown woman waiting on us, like an abuela, not a teenager. She never came back to our table, until she saw another waitress come over and bring us boxes for leftovers - that we had to go to the bar to ask for. Oh, important point - the restaurant was not busy, so she was not in the weeds. The restaurant could be an amazing spot if the service was better and they seasoned the food. It is NOT worth the money.

    We came here lead astray by the reviews. I ordered veggie enchiladas with sweet plantains and…read morebeans. I was expecting traditional beans like the beans and rice that come at every Mexican restaurant; what I got was beans poured from a can and heated up. Very disappointing. The enchilada was ok. The veggies were barely cooked and everything fell apart. There was barely any flavor. My partner got a birria enchilada which they put in as birria tacos and it took them a long time to bring out the correct order, I was almost done with my meal. The enchilada really only had one flavor; salt. The dipping sauce was pretty good. I'm writing this review so I know never to come back and let anyone who likes flavor know that they will most likely be disappointed.

    We had an amazing meal at Toca Vez! Everything we ordered was delicious. The pork chop with the…read moresweet potato au gratin was incredible, and we also loved the steak, garlic shrimp, bacon appetizer, yuca fries, and truffle mac and cheese. Honestly, there wasn't a single thing we wouldn't order again! The service was just as great as the food. Our waitress was friendly, helpful, and attentive, and everything came out quickly without ever feeling rushed. The owner/manager also stopped by and chatted with us, which was such a nice touch. Great food, great atmosphere, and genuinely friendly service. We'll definitely be back!

    Maybe my expectations were a bit too high. I'll give it that. The place is visually very…read moreinteresting - there's really nothing else like it in the Somerset Hills and looks like it came from a much more metropolitan area. The food was a mixed bag. Shrimp tacos - tender seasoned shrimp served on fresh corn tortillas and a spicy sauce on the side were excellent. The steaks - one medium rare ribeye was surprisingly lean, but tender and flavorful and was beautifully cooked. The filet ordered medium came somewhere between rare and medium rare. But it was tender as expected (it is prime filet after all). Asparagus side was phenomenal. Shoestring fries came out crisp but oddly room temp. Sea bass dish was good, but the menu description failed to adequately describe the ingredients. The steaks were typical upscale steakhouse, but I guess I was hoping for a more Mexican-inspired flare when it came to the sauces or sides. Service was well-coordinated and available and friendly and efficient. The area that was lacking was the knowledge of the food. No one knew what was in the sauce that accompanied the shrimp tacos. It's okay not to know perhaps, but say I don't know and go find out. Also requested information about the dishes was lacking, particularly when it came to food allergies which one person in our party had.
