About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Lively
  • Great for creative cocktails
Welcome to Toloache (pronounced toh-lo-AH-tchay), chef-owner Julian Medina’s contemporary Mexican bistro located in the heart of the Theater District. Toloache is named after a flowering plant famed in Mexico for its use in love potions. We hope that when you dine with us you too will fall under the spell of chef Medina’s creative cooking, which incorporates seasonal and natural ingredients and more than a dozen types of chilies. Our festive, two-story space features a guacamole and ceviche bar, a wood-burning oven, and an exceptional tequila list, along with elegant decorative elements imported from Mexico. We looking forward to seeing you soon.

    We came specifically for the Passover menu and it did not disappoint. The brisket tacos were amazing, and the Brussel sprouts were the best I have ever had anywhere in my life. I am a local and always forget about toloache but will return soon!
