Chef-owner Julian Medina’s contemporary Mexican bistro is located in the heart of Greenwich Village. Toloache (pronounced toh-lo-AH-tchay) is named after a flowering plant famed in Mexico for its use in love potions. Chef Medina’s creative cooking incorporates seasonal and natural ingredients and more than a dozen types of chilies. The festive, two-story space features a guacamole and ceviche bar and an exceptional tequila list, along with elegant decorative elements imported from Mexico.
