    VEGAN CHIPOTLE CREMA
    Bridgette R.

    First let me say I love this Tocaya Mexican restaurant it really has great food is always fresh but their homemade queso and chips the queso is horrible everything else was fabulous the tacos were fabulous the burrito was fabulous the guacamole and chips is fabulous but that homemade queso is horrible. Service was great we was able to get seated and this was the day of the marathon so it was busy outside of the mall but inside the mall was actually doable you were able to get a seat. Loved the be seated and scan and order your food to be delivered to the table. We will be back!

    Good food - had the side of street corn, Tinga taco and steak taco. Drinks are good too under $15 so a good price! They accidentally brought a fajita dish but they corrected that and brought the street corn. All yummy!

    "Perfect spot when you want quick, tasty Mexican food, and the spicy margarita is so good."

    I'd come back here! Good pricing, quick service, yummy food! I'd recommend the chicken tinga taco, the squash blossom taxo, and the birria bowl!

    Quality and portion are going down unfortunately. Service is great. Convenient spot in the mall and nice happy hour.

    It becomes my favorite place now! 1. Self ordering, no need pay big tips. 2. Very nice outdoor and indoor sitting area, spacious, and I can just order a drink sitting there and work on my laptop while day. 3. It's the only place, looks nice and clean, I can sit in long time, no need pay big tips. 4. The menu price is very reasonable, cheaper than sweet greens, around $14 for a rice bowl, and $4 for a drink. 5. Very good for family and children hang around. Cause they have large couch area. Good for business talk and date.

    FAJITA DEL REY
    Farzad F.

    What i like about this place, you can have your Mexican fix without having too much saturated fat. This is in the century city mall, so be aware if you come at the wrong time it'll be hard to find a seat. Started with the Chips and guac, they had sunflower and pomegranate seeds which surprisingly was a nice touch, well seasoned. Chips were decent. I ordered the fajita del rey. It was pulled chicken in a reddish stew, black whole beans next to a bed of rice and some pickled peppers. I liked it. The meat portion was a little left to be lacking but the beans were made very well and the flavor was good. Service was good, the floor was a little sticky towards the back but ill give them the benefit of the doubt, might have just been the person before us. If youre looking for a treat that wont be calorie bomb with flavor, give this place a try. I cant give this place 1/2 stars, ill go 4 but really its a 3.5/5.

    Stopped in and tried two of their vegan tacos , both were good the cauliflower one was better in my opinion. This place has a nice atmosphere upstairs in the century city mall near the movie theater outside of the food court area. Friendly service , looked like they had a full bar would be nice to grab drinks with the girlies after shopping!

    Stopped by Tocaya Organica at this location for a quick bite. The atmosphere was pretty cozy, clean space and comfortable to dine in. The service was also great, from the person who took my order to the one who dropped off the food. Everyone was friendly and attentive, which I appreciated. I ordered four tacos: steak, Tinga, cauliflower, and Baja. Unfortunately, the food was mediocre at best. The steak, Tinga, and cauliflower tacos were bland and really needed more flavor or a kick. The Baja taco, on the other hand, was the star -- crispy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The cucumber mint drink was also so good, very refreshing and light, the perfect complement to the meal. Overall, cozy atmosphere and friendly service, but the food could use more seasoning and excitement to match the vibe.

    Had an amazing taco Tuesday here yesterday! I love how easily the tacos can be veganized (if they aren't already)! I really enjoyed the cauliflower taco and the la flor taco the most but the vegan chicken tinga was also delicious! I love how they now put a little vegan flag in it to ensure it really is vegan! The sauces are so creamy, savory and decadent and I love how these are all default vegan. The service was friendly although it did take longer than expected for the food to arrive. I love the ambiance and the tables both inside and outside are so comf

    Tocaya Organica is a good option for anyone visiting the century city mall and a pre-game eat & drink stop for the AMC moviegoers. Fresh organic Mexican fusion food with tasty variety margaritas infused with fresh fruits. The tacos are really good but need a few to get by your hunger, and the bowls and salads are decent enough portions. torta although a bit small, was enjoyable with bursts of flavor. The passion fruit and organica margaritas are the bomb, and around $8-10. The ambiance is chill vibrant with seating indoors and outdoors. Order as you go, from counter or table, allows for simple hangs and good eats.

    Do you allow dogs on your patio?

    Does this restaurant serve organic or non-gmo chicken?

    No (I'm about 99% sure). Their website states their meat products are hormone, steroid and antibiotic free and the menu says the chicken is "free range" but that definitely doesn't mean it's organic or that the chickens are fed a non-GMO diet.… Read more

I've witnessed him being rude to multiple other customers, he will rip the salt off your table, will start slamming chairs around you and give you a death stare! And even though I brought it up to the manager and to other employees, nothing has been done and he still works there. He absolutely ruined this place for me that I used to patron for over a decade. Awful move! And even worse to ignore that this is happening when you've been told multiple times. The other employees are cool, the food is decent, and the manager I thought was awesome, but they are completely ignoring this issue and it needs to be addressed . That guy needs to go!

There was a gentleman working behind the counter with dark curly hair (I didnt catch his name since they don't wear name tags) but this guy is a star employee and if corporate is listening- invest in people like him. The whole time that we ate inside during our meal, I saw him greet every single customer who came in- even if he was busy, he acknowledged every one immediately and said he would be right with them. I saw him speed grabbing 3 online orders and put them together SO fast (one of them was mine) and it came out perfect with all my modifications correct. He was quick, accurate and attentive to customers. This was earlier today on 5/16 in the afternoon. Corporate needs to highlight this guy as employee of the month if they haven't already.

My go-to is the Shroomami but their seasonal salads are worth trying and I love to make a custom salad with the green goddess ranch or hot honey mustard. I always add a grain so it feels more like a hearty bowl rather than a regular salad. The hot honey chicken bowel is also great, and I recommend subbing chicken for salmon every once in a while! Love that you can customize every bowl and the app recently introduced rewards which was a long time coming for $17 salads.

Well, as you all know, nearby is sort of a misnomer when it comes to LA traffic. We made it on time to our reservation at Super Peach. Parking was easy as we used the Westfield structure. We popped up the escalator and Super Peach was right there, so we did not have to search the mall directory. We checked in a couple minutes late but the place was basically empty. We were seated in a booth and given menus. I went to wash my hands and returned to the booth. Our server was Ansley M. The menu is straightforward. It is sort of like a paired down menu compared to Majordomo, which I've frequented in the past. I was interested in the ssam so we ordered the short rib version ($92), along with the Korean fried chicken wings ($19), and the burnt cheesecake ($15)for dessert. The food arrived in spurts and towards the end was a tad slow. We asked for additional lettuce and kimchi. We had to ask for their house citrus ponzu sauce. We should have mentioned up front that we needed to leave by a certain time, but I honestly did not think our lunch would take almost an hour and a half and that it would take us almost 30 minutes to get to our next destination. But I should have known better, having gone to school in LA, that traffic is unpredictable even on weekends. The food was good. My husband really enjoyed the wings. I loved the short rib. The cheesecake was okay and took forever even though we asked to pack it up to go. We paid and left. They do not validate parking which was a bummer. We were told that Gelson's validated parking. We paid $5 in the parking garage. I think I'll use my Chase Sapphire dining credit elsewhere next time.

Tucked away in Century City Mall, Super Peach does have a modern vibe to it that is consistent with the mall setting. When I went, it was not busy so I was able to seated fairly quickly. Service: 5/10 - it was pretty slow, especially when the restaurant was not busy. I got my first dish (the fried chicken kimbap) within 10 minutes of ordering but the rest of the dishes took about another 30 minutes. It was a little difficult to flag someone down to request water refills. The staff was friendly though, which was their saving grace. Food I started with the fried chicken kimbap. Nothing too special. I felt the vegetables and sauce outflavored the actual fried chicken inside. Overall presentation of food: 10/10.

I did appreciate the server providing background on what the dish was (in the case there were diners who had no idea) while pouring the sauce on the noodles. It came with tangsuyuk (fried chicken), which is always good to have. The jjajangmyeon was what I would expected, though it was much more oily. Is it worth $59 though? No, you can skip the show and get the same jjajangmyeon at other Korean spots for half the price. Overall presentation of food: 10/10. Food Taste: 7.2/10 The pork belly ssam was my favorite dish. Glistening pork belly on top of steamed rice that also came with lettuce wrap and sauces to add in. The server explained how to eat the dish (place in lettuce wrap) though it got a little messy trying to make the wrap, so I would just recommended scooping in your dish and eat the lettuce on the side. Pork belly was very tendered and seasoned well; the boundaries between fat and meat were blurred. Overall presentation of food: 10/10. Food Taste: 7.5/10
