Tobala is so worth the visit! We decided to give Tobala a try and we were not disappointed. The initial entry was warm and inviting, and we were immediately seated. The ambiance was romantic and cozy and the layout was efficient and flowy. The playlist was great, the service was excellent and the food was impeccably delicious! We almost did not want to disturb it. Everything was spot-on! The appetizers were small , but fresh, tasty and delish! The entrees were a bit larger in portion, delicious and filling! The prices were steep, but this place serves authentic high quality foods. We were glad that we chose Tobala for our date night! We enjoyed the desserts— the bunuela and the tres leches, I preferred the center of my tres leches not be so distinctively orange-flavored. We plan to return

Dairon is the most incredible bartender you could ever experience at this establishment. He makes you feel at home & gives every single guests the best experience possible. He is so knowledgeable and passionate about his craft, he makes guests excited to try every single cocktail on the menu. Although the restaurant is pricey, the experience is worth every dollar. My partner & I visit this place at least once every other week for the past six months, it has never disappointed us. As someone in hospitality, management here is certainly doing something right <3 keep it up.

This is a very laid back place, with a charged atmosphere. Impossible? Not at all. It's an experience. The food was delicious. I had the baked fish and my wife had the grilled steak, we were both pleased. The wait team was at our back and call. Nice please for a romantic outing.

We stopped by Tobala in Riverdale this time just for drinks and dessert. I had their hibiscus margarita, which was really good — refreshing and perfectly balanced. We also tried their flan de maíz, our first time having flan with that flavor, and it was delicious! It came with a side of sapote, which had a great flavor and texture. Overall, a really nice experience — great place to relax and enjoy something different.

This restaurant was on my list for a while and was happy to finally stumble upon it. Our waiter Johnathan was great, witty, and knowledgeable. We had the draft beer, esquites, tacos de Barbacoa, duck mole, and the pastry/hot chocolate dessert. Food was balanced and delicious. If I had to be critical for this restaurant to reach its peak success- I would say the mole did not come out as hot as it could have (was just slightly warm) and the tacos de barbacoa could have used more balancing and freshness to it. Would definitely recommend and come back
