About

Tocolo Cantina offers classic Mexican dishes prepared with the sophistication of a fine dining restaurant in a casual and approachable manner.

Story

Tocolo Cantina in Garden City offers refined, modern Mexican food in a friendly, high-service, and casual atmosphere. The restaurant space was designed to merge the modern elements of a California eatery with those of a Mexican cantina to create a warm and inviting feel. It is fit with encaustic tile, copper walls, a lively bar in the center of the room, and a hydraulic garage door that forms an outdoor canopy when opened.

At Tocolo Cantina, we believe that all great Mexican food begins with the tortillas and masa. Chef Alexis Samayoa takes great pride in preparing these items fresh daily, resulting in flavors that perfectly accent the different tastes of each dish. Samayoa incorporates both traditional Mexican fare and his own modern interpretations of customary Mexican dishes into the menu. The menu’s mix of small and large plates, as well as its two large communal dining tables, hopes to inspire long celebrations over food! Some of our most popular dishes include our short rib tamales, al pastor tacos, and homemade guacamole.

Since no great cantina is complete without a lively bar and lofty cocktail program, Tocolo Cantina promises to deliver the best margaritas and sangrias around! Our bar offers delicious specialty drinks, as well as a large selection of premium tequilas and mezcals. On Thursday nights, we have live music from 7 PM to 10 PM and daily happy hour specials. There’s always a reason to visit Tocolo Cantina! We’re looking forward to serving you.
