I lived six years in Mexico. That means there's some part of my soul that longs for tacos, no matter what time of day it is. Spicy food is everything for me, and the smell of a corn tortilla makes me smile. Having said that, you could now guess that Mexican food is heaven to me. And heaven is found in a bowl from Tocaya Organica. It's like having Mexico rolling in your mouth. They've managed to sum up in a bowl everything that Mexican food stands for: flavour, variety, traditions, loudness, love... Their menu is based purely on Mexican traditions, accommodated to a variety of preferences including vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free.
The place is decorated beautifully and you can choose from eating inside or outside, which is better during the summer.
Everything is just delicious and unique, but I could recommend any of the bowls -- each of them is amazing -- and the Tulum Tacos for a gastronomic trip to one of the most beautiful places in Mexico.
Tocaya Organcia in Hollywood. You'll thank me later.
