This restaurant was on my list for a while and was happy to finally stumble upon it. Our waiter Johnathan was great, witty, and knowledgeable. We had the draft beer, esquites, tacos de Barbacoa, duck mole, and the pastry/hot chocolate dessert. Food was balanced and delicious. If I had to be critical for this restaurant to reach its peak success- I would say the mole did not come out as hot as it could have (was just slightly warm) and the tacos de barbacoa could have used more balancing and freshness to it. Would definitely recommend and come back

So close to being a Michelin Restaurant, BUT missing that one thing.

I was born and raised in Manhattan, but moved around here a couple years ago and Tobala's atmosphere, interior, service, and knowledge of the waitstaff is impeccable. I genuinely think they're near Michelin quality in terms of those aspects; HOWEVER, they're missing something major holding them back from achieving it.

The restaurant's food tastes good, but I think the food could taste a lot better. I really love it here, but this is something I deeply wish they'd improve. Since unfortunately, I think their nearby competition does beat them out in this aspect, I hate to say it. I really wish for Tobala to improve the taste of their food to match the presentation of it, as well as the rest of the immaculate aspect of the restaurant. If you're from this area though, it's definitely the place to try.

It's so refreshing and brings class to the area, I'm so thankful to have it here and will continue to go.

I came to tobala with my mom for the first time about a week ago. The place is very aesthetically pleasing. The ambiance is very minimalist and nice. To me that was great. The menu is very limited and for the amount quite a little pricey. The food was not bad but it’s very unique to its style. The Tlayuda was great with the steak. Everything else was ok for me. The service was good, the waitress was very attentive and very informative about the place which I enjoyed.

Had the pleasure of dining here over the weekend. Lets start with the ambiance, perfectly lit warm and inviting. The service was impeccable from the host to our server everyone knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. Now to the food, arguably some of the best Oaxacan cuisine I have tasted outside of Mexico. The crudo was so fresh and vibrant the short rib memela was one of the best dishes I have had in a very long time. Everything was fresh and tasty. Thanks to everyone who made this meal such an amazing experience. Truly looking forward to my next visit!!!
