About

Finding a good restaurant in Times Square is harder than getting Rex Ryan to lay off the GODDAMN SNACKS. But people – there’s hope. Deep in the heart of this culinary dead-zone sits Toloache, an upscale Mexican restaurant in the same family as Infatuation favorites Yerba Buena and Yerba Buena Perry. A glowing one star New York Times review has solidified Chef Julian Medina as an up-and-coming star. His empire is expanding fast, thanks to an equal emphasis on both the dishes that come out of the kitchen as well as the cocktails that accompany them. Toloache ain’t cheap, but in an area where dropping dollars on grub is a given, it’s a breath of fresh air when the food is legitimately awesome. Also, another Times Square rarity, the crowd of neighborhood regulars that frequents Toloache heavily outweighs the tourists. It’s not a huge space, but they do a lot with what they’ve got, and there’s plenty of bar seating in case you want to swing by on a whim. Let’s replay our recent Friday night: We’re sitting at the bar with a table of cougars to our right, pounding margaritas, eating lobster tacos, and watching A-Rod hit a go-ahead three-run homer with two strikes and two outs in the bottom of the ninth. Life is good. Next time you’re on the hunt for some Pre-Theater Eats or need a reward for working late at the office, Toloache is the move.
