Had the agua de jamaica and a huarache. The huarache was bursting with flavor. It was so fresh tasting and had many layers. One of the best I‘ve ever had. The jamaica was mild but refreshing. The pasta straw was the best I‘ve ever used. Didn‘t know it was pasta but felt good to know it was eco friendly. Service was kind and informative. They helped me with my dietary allergies and provided a thorough description of the food which did its complexity justice.

Absolutely phenomenal meal. Walked in and immediately seated without a reservation. They just required us to show them a proof of vaccination which we are all for. Our server was absolutely phenomenal as well. True gem of the service industry. All of the food came out in quick succession and it was like nothing we had ever had before. As service industry myself, I can’t wait to tell everyone I know and bring more people. Thank you again for everything that you do!

Went to Mi Tocaya for a second time and loved it again. We had the guacamole which if you are not into spicy dont order as it is very spicy but amazing. Then we had the aguachile which was amazingly delicious. Finally we share the pork in salsa de mole which was extremely good and huge we each made two tacos, ate from the bone and still had more to take home for a full meal. Margaritas were really good too!! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Price per person: $100+ Recommendation for vegetarians: Highly recommend Parking options: Free of charge street parking
