Tobalá, Riverdale: Oaxacan Food and Mezcal on Riverdale Ave

Tobalá, at 3732 Riverdale Ave, doesn’t post a happy hour. It’s an Oaxacan restaurant run by chef Moisés López, his wife Eluisania López and his sister and brother-in-law, named after a prized wild agave.

The verdict: the best drinks list in Riverdale, at full price. The bar pours mezcal and tequila from families who have distilled for generations, the margarita comes with tequila or mezcal (mezcal is $1 more), and flavored versions run mango, hibiscus or guava. The food is the reason to stay: tlayuda, lamb barbacoa tacos, aguachile. The catch: dinner only, from 5pm, and nothing is discounted.

What to Expect

  • Drinks: Cadillac margarita, house margaritas, a Primo spritz, a carajillo, and sparkling wines led by Catalan cava
  • Food: Oaxacan plates built around mole and masa

Hours: Sunday to Thursday 5–10pm, Friday and Saturday 5–11pm. Sunday brunch is paused until spring.
