TMM - Edit
Easy place to have a meal with people of various diets. The food is OK and could use more flavor. I appreciated the subbing rice with cauliflower rice. I personally wouldn’t eat here again though.

Best burrito I have ever had - Edit
Would give it 5 stars if I could because the food was so amazing. Will definitely be back for a second try. The guiltless burrito was the best burrito I have ever had. Forgot it was cauliflower rice for a moment. We also got the taco salad and the mushroom jalapeño vegan quesadilla and added the vegan chicken. Definitely stop here if you’re thinking about it!!
Read morePros: Amazing vegan options, Vegan cheese and cream sauce, Prices are pretty good
Cons: Not all vegan and I’m surprised

Tasty and affordable with many vegan options - Edit
The means can be built with a modular system (base, protein, sides), so that everything can be made vegan. I had the spicy cilantro bowl with vegan chicken, which was awesome and plenty, and I especially loved the vegan churro waffle bites as dessert!

Flavorful & affordable - Edit
I love Tocaya! Everything can be made vegan. I always get the 2 taco combo that comes with a drink & an appetizer for $10. The vegan picadillo is good but there’s a surcharge so I always get the adobo tofu (the cilantro lime vegan chicken is good too!) Make sure to try the vegan queso, it’s the best vegan queso I’ve ever had!! Metered street parking in front.

Love it!! - Edit
I love this restaurant and go here all the time with my friends! It is devine and not too expensive. My favorite thing to get here is the burrito mexicano, or the kids burrito with vegan mozzarella cheese and cilantro lime rice. (I’m not under twelve but they let anyone order off the kids menu lmao)

Not amazing, not terrible - Edit
This place was cool inside and the staff was very friendly. Ingredients were fresh and lots of vegan options, tons. However we asked for non spiced due to dietary restrictions but both of our dishes were very spicy. Mine was the veggie quesadilla with vegan protein and my partners was a salad bowl. It was also a bit pricey for a Chipotle style setting
Read morePros: Vegan options, Location , Staff was amazing
Cons: Too pricey for setting , Too spicy

Dinner with Friends - Edit
We shared tacos, bowl, quesalitas, guacamole. Food was good and plantain chips were awesome! For some reasons organic Margaritas were $1 each! And they were good. Our first time at Tocaya, and we will be back. The service was very friendly, and when offered vegan protein options the difference in price was highlighted.

Being vegan adds $ - Edit
Everything starts out vegan and then you add your protein and cheese. The vegan protein option is an additional 2$ charge.

went for vegan Taco Tuesday - Edit
I went and had 8 vegan tacos at 1/2 off. They are pretty small but delicious. Not sure if it would be worth the regular price of 3.50-4.50 each taco though. 🤷🏻♂️

ok if you're not hungry - Edit
The tacos are not a full meal although they cost that much. They aren't super special either. I think they're trying but it seems like the vegan options are an afterthought.

Has vegan cheese and spiced tofu - Edit
Ate here a couple time recently. Here's my Santa Monica Tocaya review.
Read moreThe space is inviting and located in downtown walking area. The menu shows what the vegan options are: vegan cheese, spiced tofu, pea-veggies mix.
Taco Tuesday and happy hour specials are bargains.
We tried the mexicano burrito (with tofu & vegan cheese), all the varieties of tacos (with tofu/beans & vegan cheese). All very flavorful.
Has kid's menu burrito (ask for vegan cheese) as well.
Pros: nice space, vegan options
Cons: not all veg
