We used to eat at least 3 times a week at the tocaya location in Scottsdale, Az. Return after 3 months to some crappy, sodium ridden, not as gluten friendly menu. Old owners need to buy this company back because the big company sucks.

First off, Terrific Customer Service at the Long Beach, CA location! The manager is amazing. So helpful with recommendations when asked, provides great detail, and is so enthusiastic about the incredible menu.
Tocaya at 2nd & PCH has lovely, fresh, bright, clean food. The menu is unique and flexible. You get to choose the protein you want, the cheese you want, whether or not you want your dish to be vegan. So many options and super tasty food!

I have to be gluten free. My wife has to be gluten, dairy, and grain free. But we LOVE Mexican food! This combo usually leads to a lack-luster dining experience, and we NEVER get to order desert - UNTIL we came here! WOW! We were SO SHOCKED that the staff was EXTREMELY helpful, knew exactly what was in there food with zero complaints or confusion (NOT common). The food was AMAZING - I actually got to eat a burrito for the first time in forever! Plus - the prices are super reasonable!...read full review
