The front of house "girls" said a table would be available 1-2 hours but a seat at the upstairs bar was immediately available...tired and hungry we agreed. The kicker was: the upstairs tables were *completely unoccupied* and remained so for the hour or so it took to serve us a couple of drinks and eat a meal while seated at the bar. While the food and bar service was great, we expressed out disappointment of not being allowed to sit at a table in the *entirely vacant* upper level (BTW, it was wonderfully quiet up there, compared to downstairs). Excuses ranged from "short staffed" (despite three young women at front of house being deep in conversation with themselves) to "no server upstairs" , both clearly BS as someone clearly served us, but they were apparently "runners" not "servers". WTF? Seriously?! Heaven forbid two people sit at a table in an otherwise totally empty upper level. OK, I'm still tired and cranky, but suggest whoever owns this gem on 45th St give their management some Faulty Towers management training: "Manuel, let me explain something to you...." Food: excellent. Prices. Very reasonable. Bar staff: wonderful: Management/front of house: rather clueless

The decoration of this restaurant is gorgeous. It's so colorful and everywhere you looked was a photo opportunity. We ordered from the lunch special which was the way to go. There was a variety of plates to choose from. For starters, we got guacamole and esquites. Both really good. Once it got to our mains, it took a while and considering we were the only ones in the restaurant it was a long wait. For the mains, we both got chicken flautas which came with a side of rice and beans. The flautas were crispy and crunchy. The rice had big chunks of carrots which I didn't like but my friend enjoyed. The beans were also very delicious. I loved the aesthetics of the restaurant and def will be coming back to choose from their main menu. Everything looked delicious!!

It was a really busy night so food took around 30 minutes to come out, but after asking if they could expedite it since we had a show to catch, they brought the food out within 5 minutes. We inhaled our tacos. The beef and shrimp tacos were divine! Definitely worth the trip back. My daughter even asked if we could return since liked the food. Beautifully decorated, felt nice for a Mexican restaurant. Highly recommend if you're in the area, but just plan a solid hour and a half for dinner on busy nights like Tuesday when they have their taco special and happy hour at the same time.

I ordered the red sangria, guacamole, taquitos, and cornbread. While the sangria came right away, it took twenty-five minutes to get my food. I watched others at the bar receive their food before me even though I had ordered before them. When the food finally arrived, it was a mixed bag. The guacamole wasn't as chunky as I was expecting and it had no spice at all even though I had asked for spicy guacamole. The taquitos were tasty. The cornbread was sweet and buttery, but the chewy overbaked texture was offputting. The saving grace was the sangria. It was refreshing and not too sweet.

Lunch at Toloache yesterday is Lori's favorite meal so far, and tied for me with Kanyakumari. It's…read morea contemporary upscale Mexican bistro located at 251 West 50th Street in the Theater District of Manhattan. Founded in 2007, and led by chef-owner Julian Medina (who grew up in Mexico City and trained in prominent New York kitchens like Maya and Pampano) along with Chef de Cuisine - Fidel Rodriguez, and Sous Chef - Julian Medina. They have real Mexican food like huitlacoche, and Oaxacan-style seasoned grasshoppers. There is a dedicated guacamole and ceviche bar, and a wood-burning oven. The name toloache is Jimsonweed, a flowering plant in Mexican folklore said to be brewed into a love potion that guarantees anyone who drinks it will always return. For drinks, Lori had the Paloma De Pepino - Gran Centenario plata, cucumber, grapefruit soda, lime, and I had the Margarita de la Calle - Maestro Dobel Diamante, cucumber, jalapeño, lime. Both were excellent, and perfectly balanced. Toloache has one of the best guacamoles we've ever had, and they made it fresh and customized it for us. Cilantro tastes like soap to Lori, and each of the three guacs listed it. Also there is a mild traditional, fruta medium, and rojo spicy. We wanted traditional but spicy, and without cilantro. That's what we got. The accompanying chips were better than most as they were the perfect size, not greasy, and strong enough to not break. With the guacamole came a Roasted Tomato salsa that was spectacular. It has roasted tomatoes, chipotle, onion, cilantro, garlic, and a "secret ingredient". It is medium spicy. I'm going to try to figure out how to make this one. Lori loves Fajitas, which are course Tex-Mex, but they make it with Prime NY Strip Steak, and it is amazing ... and huge. Two could share this for lunch. I had the Enchiladas Borrachas - pulled chicken, tomatillo-5 chiles salsa borracha, Mexican cheeses, crema, and avocado-radish salad. This was a delight with great layers of flavor - smoky, moderately spicy, slightly tangy, with a lot of richness from the cheese and crema. The shredded chicken was tender, savory, and relatively mild, mostly there to carry the sauce. When you eat this, be sure to put a slice of the enchilada on your fork, and then with your knife scoop up sauce and pour it over the bite. It's so flavor-packed. We LOVED Toloache, and highly recommend it.
