Modern Mexican - Inspired, Sophisticated, Authentic Our mission will always be to serve classic Mexican dishes prepared with the sophistication of a fine dining restaurant in a casual and approachable manner. Tocolo Cantina serves 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. We aim to provide the best Modern Mexican dining experience on Long Island. Our menu incorporates both traditional Mexican fare and our own modern interpretations of customary dishes. 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. 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. The bar offers delicious specialty drinks, as well as a large selection of premium tequilas and mezcals. Tocolo Cantina was rated "Excellent" by The New York Times and "Very Good" by Newsday. We strive to deliver the best Mexican food on Long Island.

    We had the salsa trio, shrimp,birria, and steak taco’s which came with rice and beans. Kids had chicken fingers and fries then mango sorbet and vanilla ice cream. Ended the meal with there amazing Mexican Hot Chocolate which is absolutely awesome ( note they usually only have this in the colder months.)

    The service because mainly of Andy is what brings us back to Tocolo Cantina. He is a real asset to your company. The food is very good; especially the tortilla soup which is something everyone must try.

    The food was okay. For $31 I would have liked more than 6 shrimp with my fajitas. The tortillas were super chewy . My daughter had the chicken tinga enchilada and it was okay. More like a $15 meal vs $25. Nothing over the top. What was over the top was the Classico Guacamole which was amazing. And the service and staff were fantastic. I needed a plate for my fajitas and was looking around for my server, and another server asked if he could help. Excellent staff and all super friendly.
