What an awesome experience. You definitely should have a reservation, it's packed there! You can tell it's a "group" restaurant...bachelor and bachelorette parties all over the place. We had the tomahawk and it did not disappoint, especially with the presentation. The fire dancer was awesome, a really cool add to the atmosphere. Obviously on the pricier side, but you should try it at least once! read more

Literally let them eat cake ... LITERALLY these tacos are PATHETIC!!!!! I'm extremely upset with this place I don't even feel comfortable posting the appetizer they gave me that was NANO SIZED LMFAO read more

Toca Madera Scottsdale - What a JOKE - Mexican Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

I'd give this place 3.5 out of 5 stars. We came here for a bachelorette dinner with a group of 9 and made a 10:00 PM reservation online. We were seated around 10:10, and our waitress was honestly great; attentive, personable, and very kind throughout the night. Service on her end was not the issue at all. However, shortly after being seated, we were informed that the kitchen would be closing at 10:30. This was never indicated when I made the reservation, and had we known, we absolutely would have booked an earlier time or chosen a different spot altogether. We were actually considering an 11:00 PM reservation initially, so hearing this after the fact was frustrating. Because of the time constraint, our group felt rushed to order. Some of the girls ended up not ordering at all because they didn't feel comfortable making a quick decision on $40+ entrees without really looking through the menu. It definitely took away from what should have been a fun, celebratory experience. The food we did order was great, and again, our waitress did her best to accommodate us despite the situation. But overall, that lack of transparency around kitchen hours really killed the vibe for the night. For a $600 bill, we were hoping for a more relaxed experience where we could actually enjoy and explore the menu. I'd consider coming back, but only with a much earlier reservation, and with the expectation set upfront. read more

Wow and WOW! What an experience! Yes, you are going to spend ALOT of money here but the food was so amazing as well as the service... and do not get me started on the decor! This is an experience you will not forget or regret! I treated my daughter's bachelorette group here and we all could not rave enough about our food! From the chips and salsa...to the guacamole....to the taco flights we all were incredibly happy. The sea bass tacos were everyone's favorite taco. I ordered the short rib enchiladas and could not believe how happy my taste buds were. The meat was so flavorful with the chilis I could not get enough. Sooo amazing! Yes...be prepared for sticker shock but everyone in our party of 7 was incredibly happy. read more

Guys, this place is for the vibes and experience, not life changing food. We went for a bachelorette party and it was perfect for the experience! The music was bumpin' (I think there was a DJ) and a fire dancer? The ambiance was immaculate and perfect for a bachelorette dinner. Moody lighting, chic interior decor, service was wonderful. The food was good, but nothing to write home about and obviously very expensive. This is getting high marks from me for the sheer reason that the vibes of the place were so fun and entertaining and the service was really good. read more

I've been to Toca Madera multiple times, and I personally don't usually feel that the food is worth the price. This visit was for brunch, which starts with cornbread and butter when you're seated. I didn't love it, as it had whole corn kernels baked into it. I know some people enjoy that style, but it wasn't my preference. I ordered the sashimi next, which was one of the best dishes of the meal and truly melted in my mouth. I also tried the wagyu wonton tacos. I didn't find them particularly special, though my friend enjoyed them a lot. The Mexican chop salad with salmon was one of the best salads I've had by far, but the salmon itself was a bit dry. Lastly, I ordered the street tacos. The carne asada was very good, while the sea bass was just okay. Service was excellent. Our server frequently checked on us, helped explain menu items, and the bussers were constantly refilling our water. The ambiance is fun and lively, with lots of windows and natural light. However, the music is always very loud, which is usually why I don't go often. It can be hard to hear conversations. Overall, the food is decent, but I don't always think it's worth the price read more

Toca Madera Scottsdale - Sashimi and A5 Wagyu Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

See all

Toca Madera is unlike any restaurant I've been to -- fire performances, a live DJ, stunning ambiance. It genuinely feels like a Las Vegas Strip experience right in Scottsdale. The A5 Wagyu tacos ($37 for two) absolutely lived up to the hype -- smoky, perfectly layered, and worth every penny. The 18 oz ribeye was incredible and the Mexican street corn is a must-order side. Skip the branzino and just go for the steak! A few things fell short though -- we called multiple times about the fire show schedule and kept going to voicemail, water refills were nonexistent all night, and our leftovers came out in a plain box with no bag. Small details, but noticeable at this price point. Pro tip: book ahead, dress code IS enforced, and catch the fire show starting at 7 PM! Overall a great experience and we'll definitely be back. read more

I've been to Toca Madera a couple times and always had a great experience. The decor is beautiful and the service is attentive. Drinks are good and strong. Love the food--the seafood tower, Toca Caesar and Wagyu options are some of my faves. Prices are high, so I usually only come for special occasions, but I'm always happy to visit. read more

We were very impressed with the atmosphere of this place, and the food was decent, though a bit expensive. Unfortunately, the service was undermined by poor management. On a very busy night, only one blonde manager seemed to be working, and she was more focused on drinking shots behind the DJ Booth and sweeping floors than supervising staff or assisting guests. This led to frustratingly slow service and inconsistent cocktails. When we asked for help, both security and the manager ignored us. As a result, we won't be back. read more

This was a great experience. I highly recommend you visiting. The ambiance was vibrant and alive. I was on a solo date and I felt welcomed by all of the staff! The food was simply amazing! The hamachi was the best I've ever had! The branzino was fresh and delicious! The salsa that they give you complimentary was sooooo good! Overall, I loved it! And I was told they are bring this restaurant to Miami. I can't wait!!!!!!! read more

The food was fantastic. We had enchiladas, salmon and chicken and they were excellent. The portions were large. The wines were great, too. The service was great. The waiter was informative and attentive. The ambiance appeals to younger people and being older, it didn't appeal to us. Not the fault of the restaurant; it pitches to the young, hip crowd. We didn't realize that. For us, it was like eating in a disco and at our age, it didn't resonate at all. Too loud. I recommend Toca Madura for adults under 50 but not for anyone older. read more

Toca Madera Scottsdale - Enchiladas. So tasty. - Mexican Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

This place is not just dinner, it's an experience. We came here for my last nights bachelorette dinner. We did have to wait a bit for a table even with a reservation but this wasn't a concern for our group. When we were seated, they gave us complimentary flaming shots. We got guac for the table which was delicious. I split the ceviche and the branzino with one of the girls along with a side of the street corn. All of it was incredible. I tasted a few different drinks as well, some suggested by the waiter. I'm a huge fan of mezcal so he suggested the Guilty Pleasure which was my favorite of the drinks I had. They even had a fire dancer during our dinner for a little show. Overall we had a great time! read more

Opulent. For a random taco Tuesday, this place was top notch. Went at request of a friend's bday dinner. Was pleasantly surprised by the extensive staff, fascinating interior design and all night HH for taco Tuesday. They were able to make me a delicious (and not sweet) watermelon margarita mocktail. Had the calamari and a taco trio. The food was good! Maybe not as elevated for the price. But still very delicious. It's more for the experience than the food. Busy and very loud so not a place for intimate conversations. But overall surrounded by opulence. read more

We choose this upscale, modern Mexican restaurant for a friends birthday during a trip to Scottsdale. We made reservations and were seated after a reasonable, brief wait. I would recommend reservations if you want to go, on the Friday night they were turning people away or offering a very long wait. It is a bit difficult to review. The ambiance is fantastic, the restaurant is low lite, and beautifully decorated. They also had a fire performance. The margaritas are great, and they offer many variations, we each tried a different one. The food is great, but we did not find it great enough to justify the price point. The service was also not great. The food came out in a reasonable amount of time, it was towards the end that it was an issue. While I understand they are busy, this is a nice restaurant, we should not have to wait a noticeable amount of time to get the check or pay. I would go based on the ambience, but be prepared to pay and a possible wait. read more

I went to Toca to celebrate my friend's bachelorette. It was a great celebration restaurant. We are still thinking about the Caesar salad. It was spicy and unique.

Last week was my first time trying this restaurant, and unfortunately, it was a letdown. I ordered the short rib enchiladas, but when they arrived, they were barely warm. I prefer my food to be served hot, not almost cold. On top of that, the dish was very bland and lacked flavor. Considering I paid $40 for beef enchiladas, the experience was extremely disappointing. I've had better, hotter, and more flavorful enchiladas at more affordable Mexican restaurants. I'd recommend saving your money and skipping this place. Pros: great ambience, chips and pico were tasty. read more

Such a fun spot for a group! The food and service were great and tons of fun extras like a fire dancer, table side steak/bone marrow and flaming drinks/shots.

Fun spot with great ambiance. However the food quality didn't really match the hype. Was also not a fan of how close their 2 top (tables) are to each other. I could hear the table next to me sipping their drink lol. The Wagyu tacos should've been called mini tacos. As they truly are tiny! 1-2 bits tops. And our steak was severely undercooked. I like medium rare and can tolerate rare, however it came out blue. Their brown butter cake however was absolutely outstanding! The service was also phenomenal. Overall I'm glad I experienced it but not sure how soon I would return. read more

Toca Madera Scottsdale - Crispy Calamari - Mexican Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Amazing place for a date night! While I stuck with my tried and true dirty martini and was not disappointed, my partner ordered the mi serrana cocktail. The cucumber gave it the right amount of cool while the Serrano pepper gave it a little kick. We started with the guacamole and calamari. Both were delicious and flavorful. As an entree we decided on the American Wagyu flaming tomahawk. The tableside presentation was amazing! The steak was perfectly prepared, juicy and melt-in-your-mouth. Now for the sides. The seasonal vegetables were steamed and lightly seasoned. The truffle manchego fries had just the right amount our truffle oil and truffle hot sauce so soaked up the flavor yet still remained crispy. The whipped potatoes with jalapeño oil were delicate and a great addition to the meal. I'm looking forward to experiencing all that this fabulous place has to offer! read more

The flavors were amazing, if you're going to splurge on one thing, make it the tuna wontons! Really nice staff! Highly recommend, we'll definitely be back! read more

We attended this upscale restaurant for my friends birthday and had an amazing time. Another friend stated it took a little work to get the reservation with the time difference from the East coast. We were there on a Wednesday night and the restaurant was packed. It's beautiful and stylish decor. There were so many places to get some beautiful pics. We welcomed and treated very well by staff during our dinner celebration. They had live entertainment with the fire dancer which was cool to watch while eating. Everyone in out group ordered something different which i love so we could sample each others food. Everyone was very satisfied with their meals. The table consisted of seafood and chicken meals. I ordered the chicken al pastor with black beans, street corn and truffle mac and cheese. My meal was delicious and I was able to take home a goody bag. The restaurant is definitely a place to check out and have your coins ready. lol read more

TikTok hyped this location so bad. Went on Tuesday for the taco Tuesday night. We were sat ALL THE WAY in the back (restaurant was 30% full). Ordered drinks and food and then afterwards we remembered to ask the waitress what happened with the taco night menu...she then stated "oh we only give it to you if you ask", SMH! Food came out, I give the macaroni and salmon both 2/10. Sauce on the salmon had this weird expired tarte taste. The guacamole & chips were the only thing that was 10/10! We also asked her about the dancer w/ the fire. The dancer came out 15 mins later and danced for 2 mins in the same box area on the video, no exaggeration! Every video I saw she has been interactive and moving around the entire restaurant. We left hungry and disappointed. read more

This. Place. Rocks. It's probably one of the top 5 restaurants I have ever been. We were in Arizona for a bachelor's trip and eating here was on our to-do-list as soon as we started planning the trip. We were a bit hungover from the night before but boy am I glad we kept the appointment for this place. We ended up getting the mimosas and felt nice by the time we left. You can just tell as soon as you walk into this place that it is classy. The room was very bright and everyone was fun and friendly. They were even doing some sort of photo shoot with models at a table near us. We offered to give our services by posing for photos but they respectful declined . Bathroom rating: six stars. Now to the food. Just look at the pictures! Nothing is a miss on this menu. But the one thing we ordered that I didn't get a good picture of was the random cheese. Fried cheese. Just a bowl of cheese. Order it. Everything else was good too. We got cornbread for the table and this is the best cornbread I've ever had. There's little specs of jalapeños inside as well as actual kernels of corn. And the butter was perfect. read more

Came here for my birthday in October 2025. The food was tasty, and I loved the birthday dessert, they really made me feel celebrated! Unfortunately, the service from our waitress was the main downside. When my cousin's ID wasn't accepted for a drink, no alternative beverage was offered, and the interaction felt rushed. Later, when I asked for a dessert menu, her response and the way it was placed on the table came off passive-aggressive, which was disappointing. Aside from that, the ambiance was lively, energetic, and dimly lit. The music was loud but fun, and there was even a fire entertainer, which was cool to see. Overall, a great spot with good food and atmosphere! Service could have been better. read more

I really wanted to love this place, especially considering how exceptionally the LA location delivers. While the Scottsdale location is SIGNIFICANTLY larger, the service and food are lacking. We came as a group of 9 as a bachelorette party (complying with all the dress codes of the restaurant), while still hoping to make our late lunch special and celebratory. The hostess barely cared to regard this, and the waiter didn't deliver either despite openly acknowledging our bride. I asked multiple times for fire shots and other festive things for the table as a surprise for the bride, but ended up with just a brownie with a scoop of ice cream at the end. The worst part is they didn't even clear our table or bring new serveware before dessert. As for the food, the guac lacks seasoning and citrus all together. The ceviche is AWFUL - the fish is far from fresh and leaves a bitter aftertaste in your mouth. The dish also lacks seasoning and lime and everything else you'd expect from a ceviche. It honestly spoiled my appetite for the rest of the day, even just after one bite. The drinks, chips and salsa are solid. I also enjoyed the music playing in the background. However, I ultimately expected much better food and service from a restaurant of this caliber. They have fire shows at 3-4 different times in the evenings, so if you do choose to check this restaurant out, I recommend doing so for dinner and not brunch. Brunch is just quiet and the restaurant is nearly empty. read more

This place seems like the "hot spot" in town and popular amongst the younger crowd. I loved that everyone came dressed to impress to go with the ambiance. The front door staff were polite and welcoming and we were able to get seated fairly quickly. I wish I had come in with a bigger appetite because I didn't really have the capacity to try the items I wanted to. I went with the Sea-bass tacos and it was so good. It was seasoned so well that you didn't need much for decoration. I ate mine without the crema. I was actually surprised at how thick the taco was, so two was the perfect serving size. Our waiter gave several recommendations and did not steer us wrong. I love when that happens. I was able to try the Branzino. I thought it was prepared perfectly. Very lightweight with a gentle crisp and seasoning on top. read more

Very Vegas Vibe! This is obviously a very popular restaurant. It is located where the mall is at. So no valet for us this time lol. Nonetheless it's in a great location. You are met with two bouncers at the door. Make sure you have reservations. This restaurant gets packed. We sat close to the bar area so the music was very loud but that was the popular area. Entertainment for the night was the fire dancer (only on Saturdays). She was great! Food and drinks was very good. Their Kale salad was delish. We ordered their Ceviche Blanco was different but good. Now, their Brown Butter Cake was absolutely yummy! Our waitress was a sweetheart. She was very helpful with the menu. She made sure we were happy with everything. It was definitely an experience! read more
