About Toloache
Toloache is chef Julian Medina’s festive, upscale Mexican bistro just off Broadway on West 50th Street, a reliable pre- and post-theater destination near Times Square. The colorful two-story room runs lively and buzzy, with a dedicated guacamole and ceviche bar and a wood-burning oven anchoring the kitchen.
The menu is contemporary Mexican, strong on tacos, guacamole and standouts like birria and costilla de res, paired with a serious drinks list. The bar pours more than 300 tequilas and mezcales and a lineup of signature margaritas, from the mezcal to the watermelon La Sandia.
What to Expect
As of now there is no confirmed, active happy hour to plan around. Toloache’s website mentions a weekend happy hour but marks it “coming soon,” meaning no days, times or prices are live, and no specific deals turned up on Yelp, Resy or OpenTable. If a happy hour matters for your visit, call ahead to confirm, and note that while the restaurant is popular for pre-theater dining, we could not confirm a set prix-fixe menu either.
The Room
A colorful, two-story space with a festive, celebratory energy that fits the Broadway crowd. It can get loud at peak with tables set close together, especially upstairs, so it leans buzzy and social rather than quiet. The guacamole-and-ceviche bar and the tequila-forward bar are focal points.
