There’s no shortage of incredible Mexican restaurants in the Hell’s Kitchen/Theater District area, but this splashy “contemporary Mexican bistro” whacks the competition harder than a pinata. With a bi-level space and an epic menu that reads like a phone book, Toloache serves up a parade of ceviches and guacamoles, as well as small plates, tacos and about 13 entrees. Chef-owner Julian Medina, who earned his stripes at Zocalo and SushiSamba, puts an imaginative spin on Mexican staples (caramelized-veal-sweetbread tacos, quesadilla with corn and black truffles) by drawing on the food of his youth in Mexico City. The restaurant’s name is a reference to the flowering plant used in love potions, but we bet the only potions you’ll need to get lucky come from a whopping selection of over 70 tequilas. Arrrrrriba!
