    Plantain & Coconut shrimp sushi roll
    Nick S.

    After a year of living in the area, I finally made it to Toca Vez last night, and let me tell you: it was worth the wait! My 3 friends and I shared the short rib empanadas, plantain and coconut shrimp sushi, and the guacamole. Each plate was more delectable than the next. I had a "Cowboy Killer" drink (jalapeño margarita) and it was just the right amount of spicy. For dinner, I had the colossal shrimp risotto which came with some lobster bits. I loved it. My friends had some steak and pork chops and said they came out perfectly as well. For dessert, we shared the skillet cookie. It was to die for. There was a huge lump of vanilla ice cream and whipped cream on top that balanced out the heat of the cookie. Yum! I definitely recommend going to Toca Vez and can't wait to go back!

    Inconspicuous restaurant along a local highway but it gets packed in here! They do have mandatory valet parking which was odd since there is plenty of space for cars. Service was friendly and the inside space was large with different rooms. 1. Oysters - Good variety and fresh. 2. Caesar salad - Lots of sauce on this, came with grated parm strips. Overall simple but good. Large dish. 3. Lobster Quesadilla - Very good and loads of flavor here. Lobster was not overpowering. 4. Empanadas - Crunchy, came out hot, good flavor with dipping sauce. 5. Ribeye - Cooked as ordered. Can be salty but very good flavor! 6. Lobster tail - Loads of meat and flavor. Can be a standalone if you don't want red meat. 7. Layered chocolate cake - Good rich chocolate cake. Not too heavy but by the time we reached this, had to take a good portion home. Very good though! 8. Churros - Comes out hot and covered with sugar and cinnamon. Delicious and sweet. Overall an excellent first time trying this restaurant. Would say it's modern Latin. It is very good for the area it's located in! I will be back.

    Great decor, amazing food.. yummy cocktails... only complaint is that it is very loud (hard to have conversation) but everything else was a 10/10! Will be back

    We went to celebrate a birthday and the restaurant was very nice inside. The vibes were good and it was packed. The complimentary chips and salsa were great and fresh. Got tried a couple drinks and they were good but a little over priced. We got the side of truffle Mac and cheese which was delicious. I would go back just for that. The yuca fries were good but the sauce was too spicy. The pork chop was one of the best I've had and cooked very well. It came with sweet potato which was good but a little too sweet with the maple sauce on the pork chop. The scallops were delicious and cooked well but I was disappointed that it did not come with risotto like the menu online. Over $40 for 4 scallops with edamame and corn is a little expensive I think. Lastly we were disappointed by the service. I understand the restaurant was full but we had two servers and they disappeared after we received our food. We were there for almost 3 hours. I would try again and hope the service is better.

    Our first time here - fun vibe ( a little LOUD) but we met a group of friends who suggested meeting here for dinner. We were a Large group but they took good care of us- being attentive and accommodating with any food allergies. When we arrived our table was a bit delayed bc of other patrons but they kept apologizing and were very considerate and brought us some items once we sat down to make up for it. We had an array of apps, drinks, bottles of wine, mixed drinks, entrees, and dessert. The street corn side, creamed spinach side and oh, that apple crumb dessert was especially delicious too. Everything was very fresh and enjoyable. We noticed it seemed to be a big birthday celebration place as well.

    Debatably one of the best steakhouses in Central Jersey. This was my second time dining at Toca Vez and it was just as memorable as the first. What a beautifully designed restaurant. The decor is fun and inviting. The restaurant is clean and cozy. The servers are wonderful. Very attentive and detail oriented. The food is absolutely delicious. They have a wide range of options on their menu from tacos to seafood towers. Our group shared the calamari and queso to start. For mains we shared a couple of their Cowboy cut steaks, the perfect combination of marbleization and tenderness, cooked to a perfect medium temperature. The sides were also very complimenting. I highly suggest ordering the lobster Mac n cheese! This is the perfect place for any occasion including a date night or a celebration. Complimentary valet parking is also available adding an extra special touch of luxury to your experience!

    This is a high end steakhouse with some Mexican influences. The lobster empanadas were just ok, hardly any lobster in it. Oysters were fresh,delicious and not too briny. I had a nice thick cut Kansas dry aged steak griiled medium. This steak had an excellent dry aged flavor, super juicy and not chewy at all. The sides were excellent. We had haricot vert, truffle Mac, asparagus. For dessert, the chocolate cake and churros were just mediocre. The service was great. I'll be back to try other items on the menu soon.

    Birria tacos
    Edita G.

    Came here for my birthday dinner with my husband. The service and the food quality (and quantity!)-top notch,would come again. Our only beef was that there's a mandatory valet parking onsite (I drive a stick shift so that "allowed" us to self park since none of the staff knew how to drive one,ha!),though most customers would likely appreciate this perk, and just how dark it is inside once seated at the table...I had to turn on my phone's light to read out of the menu,which is ridiculous,but quite common in many restaurants these days (I get it but I don't...you know what I mean?..). So not only is difficult to read what you'll eat, see what you eat but also really poor lighting to take any quality pictures. Other than that,superb place for an occasion,and I even got free ice cream with a candle to blow given it was my birthday. Ah yes,our order consisted of a few apps (empanadas,shrimp ceviche and birria tacos) and I had a Blueberry Smash cocktail-everything was yummy.

    Ambiance on the second floor is amazing, I recommend making a reservation. Bone in Filet is worth it! Get it medium and you will not regret it. Sweet Corn Tamales are delicious! Although I give it 5 stars the waitress could be nicer.

We ordered the Fajitas Monterrey Dinner, the Mango Habanero Chicken Wings, and the Beef Burrito. The Fajitas Monterrey Dinner was easily my favorite. The steak was so tender and charred perfectly. The fajita was mixed with onions, pepper, cheese, and PINEAPPLE. The pineapple made this absolutely special and delicious. The meal also came with a free side of chips, rice, beans, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa. The ground beef burrito was similarly delicious and they added peppers and onions to it free of charge. The man taking my order was super accommodating with this, which I appreciated. The burrito similarly came with chips, guac, salsa, sour cream, beans and rice, so It was impossible not to be stuffed afterwards. The chicken wings were crispy and delicious (we asked for the sauce on the side), and the sauce was really unique. I can't speak much to the ambiance of this place because I have never dined in, but after this amazing initial experience, we will definitely be back.

    Very delayed review, but my wife and I went here in July for our 35th anniversary dinner off…read morerecommendation from a friend. Our friend attended culinary school and owns/manages a restaurant, and is certainly a fellow "foodie." She raved, so we went! Not disappointed at all, the service was top notch but not "in your face" in annoying fashion. I had a few beers, my wife had a cosmo or two. Started with Carpaccio and calamari, both favorites of ours and fantastic. Calamari was perfectly crunchy and tasteful, and they brought the red pepper flakes upon request. I got the prime rib, which is a Monday night special and I'm told if you don't get there by 6:30pm, you run the risk of them running out. That was truth, as the table next to us arrived 20 minutes after we ordered and were denied as they had no more. Amazing. Although a ribeye is my go to, I just couldn't resist the strong recommendation on the prime rib and I was not disappointed. My only regret was not ordering the larger portion, it was fantastic. So flavorful with a dipping sauce/gravy to die for. The long peppers my wife ordered as a side really packed a punch, wow were they good. Photo included of all! Highly recommend this place as it's somewhat relaxed environment (I wore a jacket, but many were in cargo shorts/pull over shirts. Great service, decent pricing. Give it a try.

There's bar seating if you want to catch a game, along with plenty of seating throughout the restaurant.

It was perfectly prepared, incredibly flavorful, and absolutely delicious -- I'm still thinking about it. Our server was fantastic: super friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. If you're looking for a great steakhouse in the area, I highly recommend Prime 94. You won't be disappointed.
