   Toca Madera is definitely a trendy hotspot that's always buzzing with energy and excitement. The ambiance is on point, with a chic, modern vibe that makes it a great place for a night out. It's no surprise that it's super booked — it’s a popular spot for good reason. That being said, while the atmosphere delivers, the food doesn’t quite hit the same high notes. The flavors, while good, could be a bit more refined and bold to match the hype. Some dishes felt a little underseasoned, and others didn’t quite bring the level of excitement I was expecting. In terms of portion sizes, I found them to be a bit on the smaller side, especially considering the price. It's definitely a place where you're paying for the experience and ambiance more than the amount of food on your plate. All in all, Toca Madera is a great place to visit for the vibe and the energy, but it could use a little more attention to the flavors and portions to truly match its reputation. Worth a visit if you’re looking for a trendy night out, but not necessarily the best for a foodie experience.

   The restaurant ambiance, service, food and drinks were excellent. The price is scary high.

   Place is beautiful. Music is LOUD. Service was so so. The food we did receive was good. Nothing amazing. They forgot to bring my dish and although we reminded them twice it never came. Once server realized they actually never brought it even after repeatedly asking for it, there was no apology or acknowledgment. He just never came back so we had to ask someone else for the check.

   Hi Nakia, Thank you for sharing your feedback. While we’re glad you enjoyed the ambiance, we sincerely regret that your service experience fell short. That’s not the level of hospitality we aim to provide, and we’ll be addressing this with our team. We’ll be reaching out via DM to connect further.

   It was my birthday. The big 40. We had a 9:45 reservation and didn’t get sat for about 1 hour past our reservation ..Over all it was just a less than stellar experience.. we’ve been before but never when it was that busy.
