    Tocaya is such a great spot for the veggie & vegan girlies!! Recently placed a pickup order for a taco salad and burrito. The vegan picadillo was INSANE! There were some ingredients missing from the burrito (cheese and avo) but it was still good! Parking is free for first 90 mins, and the space inside and out is really nice.

    Joined my friends for happy hour at Tocaya! Margaritas were $9 i believe! The guava one is INSANE. So good we all got two. Guac was solid. Elote was okay! Salsa was also okay! Asada bowl was super yummy! Steak was tender and seasoned well. Loved the potatoes in it! Plenty of indoor seating plus limited outdoor seating! Fast service!

    Good tasty food overall. Very tasty La Flor Taco and Cauliflower Taco. Horchata made with almond milk...mmmm...yummm.. Corn Toritilla Soup tasted soooooo goood. Delicious. I added the side of Corn in the soup. So filling and delicious. Definitely going back again. Also recommend this place to try atleast once. Quick service. And ambiance is also very clean green and fresh.

    Excellent taco Tuesday! 3 tacos, a margarita, and chips and salsa weren't more than $25. The food was super fresh, my cauliflower taco was stellar. I wish I had gotten two. I'm usually not a fan of corn tortillas but these were very soft. I only knocked off a star because my food came super quick, but it was 10 minutes before my friend's came. Not a huge deal, but definitely noticeable to the point we almost went up to the counter to check it hadn't been forgotten.

    First time trying this spot. I always pass by when I go to my appointment near by. Came on a Friday night and it was not busy . Love the decor . The sonara steak bowl was delicious . We also got the guac and chips . My friend enjoyed her birria bowl too. Spicy margarita hit the spot . Reasonably priced too . Will definitely come back again. They are cashless fyi

    I placed my order through their mobile app for pickup and it was super easy. I ordered two quesabirra tacos and a tortilla soup. The tacos were cheesy and topped with pickled carrots and onions on a blue corn tortilla. The tortilla soup comes with avocado, corn, and black beans which makes it perfect for a cold day. Everything was very tasty!

    My brother comes here for Taco Tuesday every week. The deals are great and the service is awesome. The staff here is very nice and efficient. My husband loves the birria street tacos and the birria torta. My brother loves the chicken tinga, guacamole, and street corn. My daughter and I love the chicken achiote street tacos, guacamole, and street corn. Unfortunately, you can't order the taco Tuesday deal in advance for pickup, but the service is usually pretty fast, so you don't have to wait long for your order, especially if you dine in. There is a parking lot for the mall, which offers 90 minutes free parking.

    Love the ambiance the happy hour and all the food. Also one of the best locations! Service is wonderful too

    FAJITA BURRITO

    Ordered takeout. The quesadilla we ordered had almost no filling and the tortilla was not cooked. The burrito we ordered had almost no chicken. The pineapple al pastor plate was fine, but for what we paid, we expected a lot better.

    SAFETY SEALS MISSING ON UBEREATS DELIVERY BIOHAZARD

    UBEREATS Drinks arrived without their safety seals missing and completely watered down... bag of food safety seal was also broken and containers clearly had been rummaged through. ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIED BY THISx these scummy drivers are unbelievable.

    Adriana P.

    Great food and service! I had the cauliflower taco and the mahi mahi , both were delicious. The ambiance is really nice, and the staff is friendly. The only downside is parking they charge $3 every 15 minutes after the first 90 minutes.

    This particular location is stellar. Consistently terrific food prep, a wonderful team, and free,…read moreeasy parking. Let's start with the salsa bar -- AWESOME selection and all are delicious. My favorites are the KILLER HOT and the SHARKY'S salsas. Their AVOCADO salsa is also very tasty. GO-TO FAVES include the Grilled Fish Taco on a corn tortilla. Seasoned and grilled to perfection on a regular basis. I get mine with no Pico de Gallo as I like to layer on some very hot salsa instead (KILLER HOT) and I get it without the cheese to keep it lower in fat and calories. NEVER disappoints. Their Nachos are a treat when I'm breaking my diet. :) Shrimp Tacos are really good as are the protein plates which can be customized and are a very healthy, well-prepared meal every time. You order at the counter -- and a nice touch is they ask if you want chips while you wait. Their water is also a nice touch -- it's got lemon, cucumber, etc. in the water which gives it a refreshing spa-like feel. They also have really good iced tea. You grab your own beverages and I highly recommend both the water (free!!) and the iced tea. The staff here is wonderful -- an active management team that works the floor, checks in on guests, and generally just makes everyone feel welcome, along with the hard-working kitchen team and the young team that takes the orders and puts together the take-away options. They are a smooth-running, very friendly and kind operation there. I love Sharky's. I grew up in this area and remember when it was Twain's. Sharky''s is a great addition to the area - good, solid Mexican food with plenty of healthy options. Something for anyone in your group here.

    Casa Vega is an institution and one of those rare restaurants that's welcomes tourists, loyal…read morepatrons, and celebrities through its doors for decades. If you grew up in LA like I did, this was definitely THE spot...and honestly, it still is. The interior is packed with old school charm: dim lighting, warm red and yellow accents, cozy booths, and a dining room that's instantly recognizable. But don't sleep on the outdoor patio either. It's absolutely beautiful, complete with its own bar and plenty of seating for those perfect evenings out. Casa Vega is famous for its margaritas and classic Mexican American comfort food. It's not outright authentic, but it's nostalgic and hasn't changed for decades. During my last visit, I kept it simple with a cheese enchilada, a perfectly medium rare cooked steak taco, and spicy beans and rice. While each item was simple, it was done perfectly. Definitely get the combination so you can try a little bit of everything. Like I said earlier, For me Casa Vega is all about nostalgia. The familiar flavors, the atmosphere, and those feel good vibes that keep people coming back year after year. It's a staple because we all grew up with it so if you're someone here dining for the first time, keep that in mind. Last pro tip: there is $10 valet parking which honestly saves you from trying to find parking on the main boulevard so I would say just go with it.

    Casa Vega has been on my "legendary" list for a long time. After finally visiting, I'd say it was…read moremore of a one-time experience for me. Let's start with logistics: parking is valet only unless you manage to find street parking on very busy Ventura Blvd. When we arrived, we stood waiting for a bit without being acknowledged. When the hostess came over, there wasn't even a simple "hello," just "How many?" and "Do you have a reservation?" It's a small detail, but hospitality starts with a greeting. The ambience is undeniably cool -- dark, classic, very old-school LA. It has character. Food-wise, it was inconsistent. The albondigas soup leaned salty -- maybe it had reduced over time, maybe just my taste preference. The fajitas were actually the opposite: pretty bland. On the plus side, they weren't overcooked, which is common at many places. The cuts were large, not overloaded with onions (which I appreciated), but also not much chicken. The guacamole had a slight sour note. Not terrible, but enough to question how fresh it was. Our server, however, was great. Attentive, professional, and the highlight of the experience. The menu font is quite small, which makes it difficult to read in the dim lighting. And the payment terminal comes with a tip percentage already selected -- that always feels a bit uncomfortable. I'm glad I checked it off my list, but I wouldn't go out of my way to return or recommend it strongly. It feels like Casa Vega survives mostly on nostalgia and reputation rather than today's execution.
