The Venice Lunch Guide

"Tocaya is supposedly a Mexican restaurant, but it really just uses ingredients you might find in Mexican cuisine and puts them into salads and grain bowls. Those grain bowls are pretty solid though, and the tacos are better than we thought they would be. The space kind of looks like a cafe that gets set up at Burning Man and can easily be disassembled in minutes - there’s plain floor, exposed wood, and fairy lights strung up over the simple metal tables. That, and the fact that those bowls are very easy to carry, makes Tocaya a good, easy lunch option." - jess basser sanders, amy clark
