" Tocayo had a lively atmosphere on our visit which made for a fun evening! The guacamole and chips were delicious and fresh, and my friend and I enjoyed the tasty chicken enchiladas. Service was prompt and friendly, which added to our positive experience. This is a solid choice for casual dining! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed experience at Tocayo. The ambiance is fantastic, vibrant and fun for a night out. My margarita was spot on, but my tacos were not what I expected. The flavors were a bit off, and they were smaller than I hoped. I’m a fan of heavy portions, and these just didn’t satisfy. The service was great, though, so it counts for something. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is a great spot if you're looking for a fun night out! The atmosphere is vibrant and the cocktails were fantastic. I enjoyed the octopus tacos but found them a bit salty. The service was quick, and our server was knowledgeable, which we appreciated. Overall, a solid restaurant but be mindful of the salty dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say, Tocayo has one of the best dining atmospheres in Pittsburgh! The lighting is soft and the tables are nicely spaced out. I really enjoyed the guacamole and chips, which were freshly made and absolutely delicious. On top of that, my chorizo tacos had the perfect kick to them. Definitely making this a go-to spot for my Mexican food cravings! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely the best chimichangas in town! Crispy, stuffed with just the right amount of filling, and the sauce was an absolute delight. The atmosphere was happy and the service was fantastic. I will definitely be returning—Tocayo is a must-try! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place has some of the best tacos I’ve ever tasted! I was particularly impressed by the fish tacos; they were fresh, crispy, and generously topped. The ambiance is also a highlight with its trendy decor. Service was prompt and staff friendly, making for a lovely dining experience. Can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)
