Tocaya Organica is a fast-casual Mexi-Cali chain with meaty plant proteins, melty vegan cheeses, bartender-crafted margaritas, and decadent vegan churro waffle bites.
Ordering at Tocaya is a little bit like ordering at other popular “build-your-own” places, only there’s more to choose from. Here’s how to order your next entree like a pro: First, choose your base, which includes an array of creative salads, bowls, tacos, burritos, and quesadillas. Next, choose your protein from adobo tofu, vegan picadillo, or vegan chick’n. Lastly, choose your queso, of which there’s also two vegan options—mozzarella and chipotle jack.
Tocaya’s adobo tofu is firm, spicy, and diced, marinated in garlic, chipotle adobo sauce, tomato, and yellow onion. If there’s still a thought in your mind that “tofu is bland,” then this rendition is about to change that. Their vegan picadillo is a meaty stew that’s fragrant, boldly spiced, and perfect for those who want a saucy protein for their entree that isn’t too spicy. The vegan chick’n, well, let’s just say “it tastes like chicken.” Their mozzarella is subtle in flavor, while the chipotle jack is lightly smoky and spicy; both have a nice and melty texture, and neither of them have that overwhelming funkiness that other vegan cheeses do.
Now because this may be a little overwhelming, we’ve decided to highlight a few great options from the menu, including what protein and cheese to pair them with. If you’ve never been to Tocaya, here’s some tasty combos to start with!:
- Tostada Salad: a stacked butter lettuce and black bean salad stacked atop a crispy corn tortilla with spicy citrus dressing
