Amazing flavors and the best homemade corn tortillas in this cozy Mexican joint but entrees took a long time. For apps, zesty guacamole is amazing as are the fresh grilled fish tacos with crunchy slaw. Make your own mole chicken tacos was fun & interactive and a total umami flavor bomb. There is a kids menu of cheese / steak & cheese quesadillas / steak tacos. The lobster & langoustine enchiladas arrived last (as in 15 minutes after our other entree) which was a shame because, while delicious, it was quite heavy and by that point we could barely eat it. Wish the blue corn tortilla was thinner but that lobster sauce was sublime. Knocking off half a star due to slow food service. But a solid 4.5 for taste!

Absolutely incredible time at Mi Tocaya. Everything about this place is truly 5/5. I couldn't have asked for a better spot for date night. Lovely staff who were fun and knowledge about the menu, gorgeous decor inside, and just a great all around vibe. Food: Aquachile de camaron- 5/5, a delicious way to start your meal. Fresh juicy shrimp, tangy lime, and cool cucumber round out this delicious dish Steak burrito- 5/5, honestly this thing is massive and super delicious. The steak on the inside is nice and crispy with a good mix of onions and sauce. Probably one of the better burritos I've had. A must try Frijoles- 5/5, an under sold star of the show. It takes two days to make these and I can see why. Absolutely delicious. Tortillas- 5/5, nothing like a warm and soft real corn tortilla to pile in any good bites. These were delicious and real Drinks: Margarita: 4/5, solid, nothing crazy but a good and easy to drink classic Chicana: 5/5, delicious blend of hibiscus and and tequila Trousseau Gris- 5/5, this place specializes in good organic wines so I thought I'd try. This lovely orange/brief skinned white was delightful. Fruity with notes of watermelon and peach, slight tang, paired well with the burrito

Fantastic guacamole served with delicious veggies and chips. Loved this small plate adorable Mexican restaurant. Loved the tomato cherry salad. Chicken mole was good too. Tres leches and flan for dessert both good. Service was friendly and efficient. Really good. Adorable upbeat vibe. Recommend!

One of our neighborhood spots that I have never planned far enough ahead to get a reservation at. I'm so glad I finally did. Everything we ate and drank was delicious :- Guacamole - best I've ever had Spaghetti squash elote style - wonderful Aguachile - good but the least special thing we ate. Albondigas de Marisco - lovely Tacos Arabe de Pollo - fantastic Chamorro de Puerco en Mole - best dish of the evening The Margarita and the Chicana cocktails were really tasty and the Mexican sparkling wine was a real treat. The only thing that wasn't perfect was the hostess, she should not be in customer service - a real downer, I need to get better about planning ahead because I want to eat here again, often. Highly recommended

The food is excellent - hands down. Complex flavors that play well together. The pibul dish was amazing - juicy, flavorful and perfectly prepared. The menu was interesting and made me wish I could try more things. I would have preferred a smaller portion/cheaper so I could try more variety. The seat at the bar could be more comfortable (hot with the open kitchen). I wish salsa was included when you order chips and guac...you get an unlimited refill on the chips but if you want to order salsa it also comes with chips... The staff was knowledgeable but a little off on the vibe for me. Lastly, not a fan of the 3 percent add on to the check for the employee's health insurance. Just charge me an extra .50 per dish if you must!. Covid is over and these surcharges are silly.

Steak Burrito: 10/10; marinated, grilled skirt steak, quest chihuahua, black beans, romaine, avocado, grilled onion, banana peppers, sour cream. It sounds simple but this was seriously HEAVEN. The house-made sauce had the perfect heat and you could taste every ingredient in every bite. Aguachile: 9/10; Sonoran shrimp, leche de tigre, cítricos, red onion, cucumber, chile chile-in, sweet potato, erico de mar, cilantro. Super fresh and balanced. Kristoffer's Tres Leches: 8.5/10. Not too sweet and with a thin layer of chocolate coating which added a nuttiness. Diana Davila, executive chef and owner of Mi Tocaya, pays homage to the women who have created Mexican cuisine and that is truly on display in every craveble dish on the menu. Truly a gem of a spot. We walked in around 6:00 PM on a Saturday and were able to get seated within 30 minutes
