Amazing decor and vibe instantly. Club music, DJ, fire dancers, margaritas on fire, dress to impress! My enchiladas were amazing and even without a rez we were able to get four seats at the bar by the DJ (score)!

Reservations are required so plan ahead. Had a dinner reservation on a Friday around 7:45/8pm. Although the restaurant was pretty full, we were seated within minutes of arriving. The interior is nice but the music is way too loud. My friends and I had to raise our voice to be able to hear one another especially since we were a medium size group. It is also kind of dark inside once you sit but we were able to work with it. They did have staff going around doing fire tricks which was pretty cool but also scary given we were indoors and there are artificial trees inside. Our servicer was friendly and patient with us. The food is GREAT!! All the dishes we ordered were so tasty !! Food ordered: Crispy calamari, truffle fries, truffle mac & cheese, Toca Salad, tomahawk steak. The toca salad was one of my favorite dishes that night, along with the truffle Mac n cheese. I wouldn't recommend going here if you're looking for a quiet dinner but would recommend this place for any other occasion! Food 10/10!

The ambiance here is beyond. Very cute for date night or dinner with the girls. There are dancers with that dances with fire. The music was a little too loud to talk/hear one another. Staffs were super friendly, she checked on us and refilled our water regularly. The most outstanding dish to me was the street corn and the truffle burger.

Toca Madera has been a hotspot for bachelor/bachelorette parties for the last few years. And when you walk in, 90% of the tables are exactly that! I was also one of them, so I wasn't surprised to see it! The ambiance was really beautiful, and definitely loud -- the place is packed! We did need to wait 20 minutes outside past our reservation time as well. The drinks were good and the food was good. We didn't need to light our steak on fire for an extra $100, we kept it as is! Being that half our party doesn't eat steak medium rare, they brought out a little hot cast iron to cook their meat a little more! The desserts were great except for the churro ice cream. That was nothing special. Overall had a good experience for my friend's bachelorette party. She enjoyed it and had a great time. Although, I don't think this restaurant would be in my personal rotation.

The food and drinks probably get a 3.5 at absolute most but the vibes, service and ambiance bring this up to a 4. To start this is probably the most extra restaurant I've ever been to in my life. I mean seriously I felt like we were in Vegas. Came with my family and aunt and uncle for my sister's bday. My family likes Mexican and fancy places so seemed perfect. Our server was absolutely delightful! Just so good at her job and prompt with everything. And the service is just crazy fast. They bring things out so quickly, both food and apps! For appetizers we got one of the ceviche, guacamole and truffle quesadilla. The apps were so delicious that I had such high hopes for dinner. In particular the ceviche was divine! However, the main courses were less than subpar quite honestly. I got the truffle burger and upgraded to the manchego truffle fries. The burger was $48 and $12 for upgraded fries. The burger was overcooked, dry, flavorless, and small as hell. I could see but not taste any truffle. The fries looked like curly fries from a ball game with some half melted cheese over the top. Honestly i cannot believe they charge $50 for this damn burger lol. I make a better one in my sleep. I'd honestly rather have five guys no joke. On top of that others weren't super happy with their food. My sisters both had shrimp and it was way overcooked. My aunt's chicken was dry and too spicy for her (the latter is her fault lol). My dad did enjoy his enchilada though. Again come here for the apps and drinks and vibes. Maybe the actual steak is where it's at but the other food was not good!

I am a big fan of Toca Madera restaurant in WeHo Los Angeles. We visited this one in Scottsdale two days in a row. First time was for late night drinks and fire dance shows. Second time was for brunch the next day, they had dance show again at the entrance. It was cinco de mayo weekend so this restaurant was packed the entire time. We were able to grab bar seats for late night drinks and chef's table for brunch without reservations! The chef's table was spacious and intimate for hubby and I, it was fun to watch all the actions in the kitchen too! Both experiences were great! The drinks were so much fun and great pours, the food was so comforting and flavorful. I loved the ghost rider specialty cocktail. The shrimps on a hot stone were so tasty. I appreciated the gluten free chocolate cake. I love Mexican food because a lot of items are naturally gluten free! The service was top notch each time, I was very impressed by the amazing servers! Toca Madera never disappoints! This is definitely my favorite Mexican restaurant and bar! Ps. Complimentary valet

This place is top notch. Beautiful inside and great food. I came with a group of girls for brunch. The food was full of flavor and great tasting. The drinks were yummy. They offer water at room temp so I had to ask for ice. Service was good nothing worth remembering but I'm glad we went.
