Reviews for Tocaya Modern Mexican in San Diego, CA
Do not eat here, terrible management, service is awful and food is mediocre at best. Took 40 minutes for a Mexican bowl and a... burrito to come out. This place needs better management and staff. Plz do not eat here. They will charge u 40$ for a bowl thatis not worth the value and you could eat at actual Mexican restaurant for much cheaper. Read more
I love my share of bowls and Mexican food. However this place fell short on both criteria. The atmosphere was pleasant but did... nothing to help the shortcoming of the food experience. Very under fed for the price and quality of food was like I was eating a$8.00 bowl of Qdoba. The service, inadequate to the expected service compared to other restaurants of the same quality in thearea. Overall, very disappointed and wont be receiving my business ever again. Read more
Bummed to write this as I love this spot and regularly get take out from here. The service is fast, has great plant based... options and the flavor is spot on, but I can?t justify the smaller portions each time I stop by! Feels wrong paying $12 for aburrito slightly larger than a tiny bulk bag value frozen burrito. Relatively small hand for scale Read more
Lots of vegan options and incredible food. I was wowed. Can't wait to come back and explore more of the menu.
The food is good. We came in 35 minutes before closing. The food was going to take 20 minutes. We felt bad but they said it's... fine because there's still a lot of people who actually ordered before us. Place is clean and tidy. I shall return!! Read more

Such a great restaurant! They have a great menu with lots of variety. They also have an extensive menu for vegan food and make... it easy to substitute with any of their regular menu items. Definitely check out the plantain chips and guac as well as happyhour and taco Tuesday! Not to mention the atmosphere of the restaurant is very nice and the outdoor patio is beautiful! Read more
We went here for a fundraiser for my child?s school. Food is good, a little pricy but worth the expense. It is inside the mall... so you have to find parking and walk to the food area. UTC is very upscale and so you don?t feel like ur walking through a mallto a nice place to eat. Read more
