" I was excited to try Tobalá after hearing great reviews, but it fell a bit short for me. The atmosphere was lovely and the staff very welcoming, but I found my meal to be just okay. The flavors didn't stand out as much as I hoped. The drink selection was great, though, and the guacamole was top-notch. I might give it another try to see if it was an off night. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an amazing experience at Tobalá from start to finish. The moment I walked in, I was captivated by the beautifully decorated interior that exudes authenticity. The guacamole was one of the best I've ever had, and the mezcal selection is truly impressive. Highly recommend! Can't wait to come back for their unique Oaxacan dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" You must visit Tobalá! Their brunch selection is outstanding, and the flavors are out of this world. The presentation of the dishes is so appealing, you almost don't want to eat them. I had the poblano stuffed with cheese—heavenly! The service was warm and welcoming, and the ambiance is perfect for a laid-back Sunday. Will be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" My partner and I had a wonderful date night here! The atmosphere was romantic, filled with soft lighting and beautiful decor. The food was exquisite—every bite was well-thought-out and beautifully plated. I loved the variety on the menu, too; it stands apart from typical Mexican restaurants in NYC. A delightful find! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't stress enough how iconic Tobalá is! Everything from the design to the delicacies they serve screams high quality. The highlight was the octopus dish garnished with ants—what a unique touch! This is the kind of place you want to bring your friends to show off what real Oaxacan food is like. Service was impeccable throughout our meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Epic food! I’m a huge fan of Oaxacan cuisine, and Tobalá certainly does it justice. Every dish we ordered had a depth of flavor that transported me back to Oaxaca. My personal favorite was the chicken mole, which was nothing short of spectacular. Can't wait to return for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" An incredible dining experience! Each dish we tried was bursting with flavor. The menu showcases Oaxacan delights that are both creative and authentic. The highlight for me was the lamb barbacoa tacos—absolutely divine! The service was attentive without being intrusive. The atmosphere is chic yet comfortable, making it a perfect spot for a date night. The pricing is reasonable for the quality of food! " (*Curated Review*)
