replying to u/Ok_Veterinarian6107: Tobala on Riverdale Avenue in the Bronx! Authentic Oaxacan with incredible flavors and an outstanding mezcal selection. Cosme in Manhattan is also outstanding; they definitely cover hipstery and upscale if that is what you want. A special night out can be had at both places, in my opinion.
“Tobala was trash..way over priced, owners are Dominican and went to Oaxaca for a honeymoon and were "inspired". Mole has no depth, guac is horrible, tacos are like $20 for TWO. Ceviche was soooo damn bland. Avoid.”

replying to u/Confident_Load_9563: Tobala is INCREDIBLE. I don’t eat meat so I haven’t tried any of their meat dishes but everyone I’ve gone with has loved all of them. Must tries: -Roasted repollo -Scallops (according to my partner) -Esquites (if you’re not squeamish about eating insects) -aquachile -Dessert tamales -Carajillo (like an espresso martini x1000) -la mariposa if you like botanical gin cocktails
“Ive been here twice now, drinks were good but the portion size for the price was not.”
