Worst customer service experience I've ever experienced in my life. I called ahead of time letting them know I was running around 15 minutes late. They did not go into detail that if I was even 1 or 2 minutes late they would cancel my reservation. I got there after parking valet and they told me I wouldn't be seated until 4 hours from the time I got there lol. I spoke with the manager. He was passive aggressive and rude. I'll never come back. I advise anyone else wanting to dine here to do the same. read more

Our server Kyra was amazing!! Very elegant and classy with such a welcoming personality! She even took time to take pictures of me and my family!! The food was great, definitely recommend the branzino! read more

We were super excited to try this trendy spot. Despite wanting to love it, we were severely disappointed. The exterior of the restaurant is beautiful yet the vibe just did not go together in harmony. You have a high-end dining space with loud booming club music. Food was salty with a solid average rating across the board. The server presents tons of information but you can barely hear them in their rants with the loud music in the background. The restaurant is also quite dark so not sure if that's the case or if the waiters were sloppy but they kept spilling water on our tablecloth and empty plates when refilling the water. My parents had to ask 3-4 times before any request was completed (i.e. bringing hot sauce or an extra fork). Tacos were okay, but I can't say it was increasingly better than a velvet taco. Steak was salty as well with due to many other flavors aside from sea salt. I'd recommend this spot if you're seeking a fancier vibe for cocktails with friends, but not for a formal dinner. Nice for taking a few photos as the aesthetics are nice in the front/bar area but dining elsewhere. read more

TL;DR: Toca Madera is flashy and over-the-top. The food isn't as bad as some reviews suggest, but the service could be better. If you're not planning to spend a lot (and embrace a bit of theatrics), this probably isn't the place for you. I went to Toca Madera for Mother's Day dinner, and while the restaurant leans heavily on style over substance, the experience wasn't as disappointing as some of the reviews led me to believe. The vibe is loud, dark, and clearly designed to impress--complete with fire breathers, guitarists riffing over house music, and cocktails set ablaze with cinnamon. There was even a flaming tomahawk steak at one point. It's not really my scene, but if you're into that kind of theatrics, it fits the bill. As for the food, it was hit-or-miss. The Hamachi, ceviche, and Brussels sprouts didn't do much for me, but the NY strip, branzino, and mac & cheese were solid. Not mind-blowing, but definitely enjoyable. Service was underwhelming--not bad, just not up to the standard you'd expect at a place with this kind of price tag and ambiance. A little more attentiveness would've gone a long way. You're not just paying for the food here--you're paying for the show. It's the kind of place where you'll see pro athletes and influencers (Alix Earle was there that night), and it feels more like a night out in Miami than a quiet dinner. Our bill came to around $450 for three people. That felt fair for the experience overall, though $22 mac and cheese and $13 steak butter are a little absurd. read more

Angelica was our waitress and she was awesome!!! She made our experience. Every recommendation she provided was a 10 out of 10! We couldn't decide on what steak to order so ended up taking Angelica's recommendation and ordered the top cap. We were blown away! Probably one of the best Wagyu steaks we've had. Highly recommend it! The dessert options are also great. We ended up ordering the strawberry tres leches and the brown butter cake. As stuffed as we were from the entrees, we still licked both dessert plates clean. The vibe, food and service were amazing. We can't wait to come back here! read more

Service was great from start to finish! Valet $10 or pay higher cash for close parking spot. The restaurant is next to Thompson Hotel. No issues with Doorman no issue with front staff check in. Go dress properly and you won't have issues. A lot of the issues I saw were young ppl not having all there party together and were so upset they couldn't be seated. My rsvp was at 9pm and I was seated with my party of 4 at 9pm. Our waitress was Angelica and she was fantastic. I ordered everything she recommended: (not pictured) You do get complimentary chips and pico ... QUESO FUNDIDO as appetizer with flour tortillas. DRINKS: (coma la flor) fantastic flavor was my best drink! (WINNIE DE POOH) taste like a Starbucks medicine ball with alcohol (WATERMELON MARGARITA) fantastic flavor and you get a slice of watermelon which was nice. You can also order this as a shot with the same fire performance. (PASSION FRUIT MARGARITA) would request less cinnamon but a good strong drink . Last drink (GUAVA MARGARITA) was too sweet for me, maybe someone who wants a fruity drink this would be perfect. My main course was (BRANZINO) fish .. hands down the best fish I've had! Full of flavor and I also ordered corn tortillas this was so delicious this would have me coming back. Dessert (Churros) so delicious. The music wasn't as loud as the reviews say if you're seated by the bar then it would be. There is a gentleman that plays his instrument here and there randomly through out the restaurant. The lighting is dem but you do have a light at your table it wasn't that dark you could still read the menu without using the lamp light. Over all my experience was fantastic and I would be coming again. read more

Went for brunch and had the chicken and waffles which were really good. Chicken was seasoned and flavorful. The waffle was fresh and moist. Just a heads up, they dont split tickets. Valet is available and its free read more

I'll be honest--the food and service were perfectly good at Toca Madera, but I just don't think it's my vibe. It's more of a clubby scene, with deep bass music, club attired guests, shots all around, and even a guy walking around playing an electric guitar that played over the speakers. If that's your vibe, Toca Madera is probably the perfect spot for you, but that really isn't my thing. To be fair, the food was pretty good--I enjoyed my branzino, and I really liked the corn side. The complimentary chips and salsa (more like pico) was very fresh and tasty too. They also offer complimentary "shots," which our server told me are just mini margaritas, not pure liquor. But it was VERY expensive for what it was--a very $$$ high price tag. And our server was very nice, not overly attentive (in a good way), and polite. read more

This restaurant is beautiful. The exterior and interior remind me of Tulum. Drinks and food were amazing. Our server, Rafael was on point and made sure we were well taken care of. We will be back! read more

They pack the tables in like sardines to be honest. The food is good (not great). The drinks very good with fantastic presentation. The atmosphere and design is pretty cool. The prices as it is ups ale Mexican are fine but I'm not a red meat eater so I can't speak to the quality of the meat. However, the chicken I had was mediocre and have had the same consistency at just a normal Mexican restaurant. (Can't compare to the flavor of El Tiempo's chicken and they are MUCH cheaper). The street corn side tasted like it was straight from a can. They offer bottle water service and it's $11/bottle. Again fine but we were done for our meal and they came and refilled our water and charged us for another $11 bottle of still water without asking. No no no. Even for a top tier restaurant that is wrong. Let me address the biggest gripe. The spacing between tables. I get when a party of 2 you might be right next to another table but there should be adequate space. There was maybe 12 inches between the table to our left AND right. On several occasions, the server for those table literally had his butt in our faces or on the table/over my entree. We had to laugh at it once but luckily I was done with my food. Also, our poor waiter had a large demanding table including ours. Great service before they were seated but afterwards, he was basically never there except to give us the check. At first turned down desert but then we reconsidered. However, we could never get his or another person's attention to get desert so we paid via the inKind app (nice perk) and left. I definitely doubt that I would willingly return to Toca Madera given my experience and the food. For drinks, probably so. read more

Toca Madera - Great drinks. That's all. Haha - Steakhouses Near Me - Houston, Texas

If you're treating friends for something special, Toca Madera might be what you're looking for! From the beautiful floral entrance to the intimate forest-y interior, the restaurant is quite beautiful. We came with low expectations as our friends love the hype, but they were happy and we enjoyed most of the food, so it was a nice night! Prepare your wallets when dining here, as you're definitely paying for the experience and vibes, but the food is also thankfully tasty. Toca is between a restaurant and a club, with more emphasis on the restaurant side. They're open late, people dress to impress, and the music is on the louder side. There are exclusive menu items that are only available for people who pay a membership fee. I didn't like how there were staff in the restroom waiting on patrons for tips. They were super nice, but I go to the restroom for privacy (a little awkward taking out your Invisalign retainers while someone waits next to you holding up a paper towel, haha). Onto the food! Starters: I really liked the spiced chips that came with the complimentary chips and salsa. The Hamachi was sliced thick and was tasty, would order again. We would skip the Ceviche Blanco next time even though it's pretty, as the tiny bits of fish were hard to eat and the flavor was okay. Sides: Mexican Corn was simple and nicely balanced-- not overloaded with cream or cheese, mostly sweet corn flavor which we enjoyed. The Truffle Mac n Cheese was very creamy, the taste was fine for us and nothing exceptional, but it was nice to have a hot dish. Cilantro Lime Rice tasted like... rice! Nice to have with the mains as it wasn't oily. Mains: the Scallops were beautifully presented and enjoyable but wouldn't say they were the most tender or had a nice crisp on the outside. The Flaming Tomahawk was very showy, wheeled to the table and lit on fire. The guys actually thought this was one of the best steaks in town! It was tender but had some chew, and no sauce was needed. Our tomahawk, priced at 40 oz, definitely looked a lot smaller than the other photos though. The Branzino was my favorite-- big fillet, nicely seasoned but not too salty, and it wasn't dry at all! Dessert: the Churros were one of my favorites of the night, they were hot and soft in the middle with a slight crunch! Definitely didn't need any of the sauces that it came with. The Strawberry Tres Leches was surprising too, as it looked and tasted similar to a strawberry shortcake and was delicious. They comped a brownie a la mode that came with a sparkler for our special occasion and that was also pretty good. Drinks: per the group, nothing stood out but nothing was bad. Our waiter asked if we wanted bottled sparkling or bottled still water and did not mention plain tap water (you know... the one in the pitchers that I saw being served at other tables?). Luckily our friends like Acqua Panna, but that irked me. It's the principle! Parking is valet for $10 and tip or pay to park which is $5 per hour... which turns out to the same since you're limited to 2.5 hours for dinner anyways. And they stand by it-- we were politely asked to finish up and leave. Is the food good? We thought so! Was it great? The Branzino, Tomahawk steak, and dessert were delightful, but everything else was a solid okay/good. Is it worth the $$$? Probably not, but if it's the ambiance and memories you're after, this one might fit that bill :) I would return if my friends wanted to, but Toca was nice to try just once for me. read more

Food, staff, and ambiance is a 10/10. I totally recommend the branzino fish and the strawberry tres leches cake! read more

Interesting, gorgeous, vibrant atmosphere and very, very loud. We had to yell at each other and we sat next to each other at the bar. Service is attentive, friendly, knowledgeable and not intrusive. Nice wine list. Food was a complete fail for me. I found it a little annoying that some drinks, wines and menu items are only available to members. We inquired about membership and were told someone would come by and explain it. That didn't happen. I have no idea what's involved with a membership. The Ahi was delicious but the cucumbers and radishes literally crunched with salt. The steak was encrusted with salt and I found it inedible. The asparagus was unremarkable but not bad. The rice, lacked salt!! read more

So at a recent happy hour downtown we were looking for a place to try and impress a visiting employee in hopes of getting them to relocate to houston. So we came here - on a side note unless you enjoy driving in circles looking for parking just valet it was $10 during happy hour so the cost might be more in the evening still in line with most valet costs. For context we came on a tuesday after work - when we got in you would have thought it was the weekend. Completely packed we were standing at the bar until we could get some tables at the same bar. Everyone was dressed to impress - it felt like Vegas in Houston. There are some things on the menu that you can only order if you are a member - so there is a membership available. The atmosphere with the music and the people was awesome - you're definitely paying for the atmosphere. It was fun to go with a group of people - I am sure the drinking helped a little but it would be easy to imagine having a great time just enjoying the meal there with someone else. Everything was very clean including the facilities. Its definitely a very instagramable location. For what it is here in Houston I think there is good value - prices weren't too crazy. I expected our bill to be a lot higher then what it was. If you haven't already made plans - this place is worth checking out with some friends - you'll all be sure to have a great time! Highly recommend! read more

Birthday dinner reservation for 2 people was set for 10pm, we were not seated until 10:40 pm. When we arrived we were told it would be a 15 minute wait, which obviously turned into a 40 minute wait. We were screwed because most places closed by 10 pm so we couldn't even go anywhere else nice for dinner. Anyways the food was okay, we ordered the chicken on stone, branzino (salty) and the truffle fries which were the curly fries from Jack n the box covered in dried parmesan cheese (you cannot convince me otherwise). The best part of the meal was the strawberry tres leches, presentation of that dessert was very pretty and it tasted decadent and filling. Never coming back here, the entertainment lasted not even 2 minutes (dancer with fire sticks) and a guitarist. read more

First, the only reason why I am giving it 3 stars is because the price did not justify the food/experience at all. If the price doesn't matter, then you could enjoy this place. Valet - very simple and easy. No issues at all. When I left the restaurant, I got my cars within minutes of handing over my ticket. You can park outside the valet area, but it costs $5/hour, whereas valet is $10 for the whole evening. Doorman - Lovingly. They were willing to take our pictures when my party was outside. Decorations - Great Live music - Someone was playing an electric guitar and going around the restaurant playing it. It was interesting to see and fun. Service - Got seated quickly. No issue. Waiter - Ehhh. While he was super nice and knowledgeable about the food, he had offered for the chefs to decide on what we wanted instead of what we wanted to order. He also would come to our table very frequently, attempting to take our food away when it was not done consuming. He also would jump in and offer the next course of meal when we were only half way done eating. Food - Good, but not great. Especially for the price. $20 cocktails... Honestly, you can get a cocktail in SoHo for less than that price. It was refreshing, but not worth $20. Still water for $11 per bottle. Yes, for $11. It's not even any fancy water, and it was in a non-descriptive bottle, making me think that they just refilled the water in-house. I had their salmon, which was $38. For that price point, I expect something to be unique about the salmon, but honestly, the way it was cooked with no seasoning other than the sauce, I literally could and have (multiple times) made the salmon the exact same way at home. Nothing special. Though their tres leches were really good, I would get that again. The appetizers are great, but they're worth sharing with other people in your group to taste all. Overall, taking my money and appetite elsewhere. Will not dine here again. read more

They need to improve their Customer service! Everything took so long: 1) to be seated even though we had a reservation, 2) to order drinks and appetizers, 3) for the food to arrive, 4) for the bill, etc! Hard to understand the reason with all the staff they had working! When you have been to restaurants with great service, you know the difference! Our waiter was more attentive to tables with "his people " than others. Other tables did not seem to have this problem. When it finally arrived, an hour later, the food was pretty good, except for the salmon which came to the table twice undercooked. The ambience is loud which some may like if that is your thing! The fire show was excellent and it was nice to see the flaming drinks go to other tables. However this is not enough for me to come back. The decor is beautiful but I will not return nor recommend until they get better customer service! read more

Very beautiful, elegant, aesthetic, unique restaurant and bar. My friend and I came on "taco tuesday" and were bummed because we had just missed the time cut off- but anywho we still had a wonderful time. We kept admiring the decor and how attractive the restaurant was. Since it was Tuesday they had a DJ and a fire dancer! They have a great selection of delicious, unique cocktails. I had the winnie the pooh and it was perfect for my sinus hahha. All of our food was fresh, hot and delicious. Of course, nothing made me say "WOW" for the price but I cant complain because it was served hot and fresh and presentation was beautiful. My only small complaint was that while the server was very attentive and kind, we did feel very rushed. I understand there may be a turnover and I do think we saw an 1-2hr limit? But we wanted to enjoy the pace of our food and did get drinks, appetizer, entrees and was catching up with a friend I dont see often so that's honestly why but overall great service. They do offer 2 types of valet -price wise so the difference is just that one is parked closer or farther and there might be a small 10-15 minute wait but wasnt too bad. Overall beautiful restaurant, a nice experience, picture worthy, unique and definitely make a reservation beforehand. read more

A little on the overpriced side but overall great visit! Atmosphere is perfect and entertainment and service is was excellent.

Everything tonight was everything my husband and I could've ever asked for! We had just gotten to Houston after leaving Chapel Dulcinea (our elopement ceremony was at 830am in Austin). We were tired but decided to dine in for a change and Mohi (our server) did a fabulous job! Between their hostess, bartender, and wait staff, everyone played a hand in making today the best dining experience we could've asked for! Thank you all for being so kind and welcoming, and for helping us celebrate our elopement! read more

I really wanted to like this place but I am disappointed. My boyfriend had reservations set a week in advance for Sunday night at 9:30pm. We arrived on time but were told our table wouldn't be ready for another 30 minutes, so we decided to sit at the bar. After 30 minutes, no one informed us about our table, so we asked and ended up waiting another 30 minutes. Finally, an hour later at 10:30pm, we were seated. I did not know this until I read some yelp reviews (afterwards) but they ask if you want still or sparking water. Not giving tap water an option since they try to upsell you for a bottle of still water being $11 fyi! Our server was kind, but I wished she checked on us more often instead of us having to wave her down, especially since there's an automatic 20% grat added to the bill (just so you know). The food was mediocre and not worth the price for the taste nor portion. After waiting an hour, my boyfriend's steak wasn't to his liking. He asked for it to be sent back, and although the server was nice about it, we expected a manager to apologize, which is the bare minimum in a fine dining restaurant. Not to expect anything out of it but just to know they care or even apologize for the one hour delay on our reservations. After finishing my own steak and sides, his finally came out by 11:30pm. We ordered 2 Margaritas (at the bar for $55), Hamachi appetizer ($26) Sweet Corn ($15), Truffle Mac & Cheese ($21), Two 8oz Center Cut Ribeye ($216 for 2) and Brown Butter Cake ($22), totaling $400 just for food. We don't mind spending money to experience hot spots, but for that price, it wasn't worth it. You can get a better-tasting steak elsewhere for a better price. My favorite dish of the night was the Hamachi appetizer. Just making sure everyone is aware of the mediocrity and price point, including the automatic grat. Overall, the ambiance was aesthetically pleasing, but I was not happy about the wait even with a reservation and the food. I hope they improve their reservation system, especially when they require a card on file for a $25 cancellation fee! read more

Parking: Valet was the way to go here. Enter off of Allen Parkway. It was fairly reasonable at $10. I left my phone in the car and valet was kind enough to grab it for me. It was quite busy Saturday night so be prepared for a lengthy wait if you're coming during dinner hours. There is quite a lengthy walk from valet to the front doors of Toca, so for ladies in heels or those with accessibility needs, I definitely recommend getting dropped off right near the entrance. There's a friendly gentleman near the stairs that can help you get up and down as needed. Ambience: The first word that comes to mind is sexy, modern, and natural. I loved the use of the woods and the compliments of the natural grasses and plants. The dim lighting elevated the ambience, however it was still difficult to read the menus even with the aid of the table light. Also with all of the fiery drinks and dishes served, the smokiness of the air was a bit thick at times, so if you are sensitive to that I'd suggest sitting outside if it's available. Service: This was where most of the points were docked for me. Despite having a reservation and being on time for it, my party of 4 still waited over 40 minutes to be seated. It seems that although Toca has a 2 hour dining time, they do not enforce it. We were waiting on tables to be cleared who had patrons sitting there for 4+ hours. On top of that, we were not offered any additional accommodation to rectify this issue. As a first time patron, that stung, and was a sign that management still has some things to work through. Food: I loved the tacos!!! They were the best two bites ever, truly. The shells were crispy and and the lobster was seasoned and buttery. The Branzino was light and flaky, you could literally eat it with a spoon, that's how soft it was. If you're not that hungry, it's enough to share among two people. The cilantro rice was meh, Chipotle's is better in my opinion. But it complimented the Branzino nicely. My friends enjoyed some mocktails, cocktails are roughly $20, they deducted $2 which I thought was useless. However, they seemed to enjoy them. Overall, I would say Toca is a great vibe, however I left feeling like I didn't need to come back. The experience nor service was something overly exceptional for me personally. I'd be willing to try it again on someone else's dime. read more

Went to Toca last night. Just save your money. This place is OVERPRICED. Food isn't great and drinks are horrible, very little alcohol at all, but they are Instagram pretty. The whole focus of the place is aesthetics. The service is mediocre. I knew all of this but made an appearance for a birthday. Go to Steak 48 or the endless great Mexican restaurants in Houston. read more

My first visit to Toca Madera was in July. It was a VERY busy Saturday of 4th of July weekend. But it was a great time (even if we did have to wait 30-40 over our reservation time for a party of 2). However I wanted a grown and sexy intimate celebration for my 40th birthday and TC made top of my list (Happenings described below are from yesterday, 8/24). Although I'd already been I still like to read reviews to see if there's anything that's changed, especially with a newly opened establishment. Sure enough most of the reviews I read were regarding service, extended reservation wait times, temperature, and the DOORMAN (Dress code police). Because it was my birthday I was really hoping that me and my guests wouldn't have to endure any of these recently posted challenges but sure enough we did. 3/5 guests had arrived at least 20 minutes before our 9:45pm reservation. Hostess said we had to have the full party, that was fine, typical. We go outside for photos and guests #4 walked up and I could see the look on her face as I'm standing underneath the tree getting photographed. Immediately afterwards I asked was she okay and she'd told me that one of the guys standing at the steps was abrasive with her while asking if she had a reservation. Ugh. So now we're back in to wait for guest #5, my SISTER, who phoned shortly after that confirmed she was parking. My friend advices the hostess, as we wait were wondering what's going on because she never comes in. So she calls and says "Sissy, they won't let me in because of my shoes. I have to leave." I'm heartbroken truly because none of my guests are rule breakers. I was specific about dress code, timing, parking, etc., I wanted them to be prepared. My cousin scans the lobby and there's literally a lady inside with some fuzzy house shoes on, so she goes outside to try and plead for my sister. I follow after (it was hot in the lobby and hot outside and I was dazzled up but my sister needs to be in here). The cousin speaks to the dress code police guy (which we later learn was the same guy who was abrasive with my friend) and tells him that he literally just let in a woman with house shoes on. He looked "shocked" but definitely in a "ha ha who cares" type of way. My sister had on sandals, she's about 5'11 and doesn't wear lots of dressy shoes and you could barely see her sandals because her black dress pants covered her feet (she had on a black blouse) but certainly dressed appropriately. I've been to many restaurants with dress codes, I'm a Houston native we know how to be presentable at upscale establishments. So my cousin told the guy she had a photo of proof and he allowed her in but not before saying "The hostess is probably going to turn her away anyway." Tuh. What a jerk. We're back in now. I expressed my frustration to the hostess and she was very apologetic (and to me seems that she knows this is becoming an issue) and said my sister was good. Time for us to be seated. But it didn't end there yet. We were being seated in the main area on the booth wall that leads to the bathrooms and they made a 4-top a 5-top, where 3 would be on the booth and 2 in chairs. This was a complete joke. No space at all for 3 grown people. So we had to wait again because I was not accepting that. Finally we're seated at table 506 (I believe) much better according to the hostess best table in the dinning area and is typically highly requested! FINALLY, some real birthday treatment. But as we sit and wait I see multiple guys come in with graphic t-shirts and hats, yes, basketball style hats! But then I see that door man standing at the door of the private room, guarding I guess but being very chatty with these guys. So my question is, whom does dress code apply to exactly? All in all this is not about ambiance or service or food quality or staff friendliness because none of this was an issue for us. Even the manager stopped by and he was super nice. I hope TC does better with the door person regarding dress code policy, we would have felt better if my sister was turned away if we had we not witnessed so many others definitely in violation. We ordered lots of food and for those who had never been were highly satisfied and we were given free shots. Still an amazing night. Maybe once things calm down some of the issues such as wait time and door guards will subside. I'll probably visit again but I'll give it a while. read more

This restaurant was way overpriced for the service we received. We were charged 44.00 for water...just regular water, we were charged for four bottles and I have no idea how much we drank but with our cocktail drinks I'm not sure how we could have drank four large bottle of water. Never eating there again with so many classy restaurants to eat in Houston this one didn't come close to any of those. read more

Wife and I decided to goto Toca for drinks, apps, and dessert. Grabbed a seat at the bar immediately despite the restaurant being busy. We went for the first a few months ago for our anniversary and enjoyed it so we decided to go again on a whim. Fernando the bartender was great. Very knowledgeable about wine and the menu. Service all the way around was A+ even as the bar. Overall the food was amazing. The only exception was the calamari. Tried it and didn't care for it, they took it away and didn't charge us. Thank you. We ordered the chicken Tostaditos (A+), hamachi (amazing), the wagyu bacon wedge is why we came back! My wife doesn't eat pork and can't experience the joys of a good wedge...until now. This is the best wedge I've ever had. We wrapped up with the butter cake, not quite Mastros', but an excellent #2 in my book. Toca didn't disappoint and we will be back! Great food, amazing service, and lively vibes & atmosphere. Highly recommend read more
