Toloache: Mexican in NYC

TOLOACHE MARGARITA

After seeing a tutorial on Pinterest for Avocado Fries, I quickly became obsessed with finding a restaurant that served them. Toloache has been on my radar for quite a while, but I never managed to make it in for dinner. Thanks to my recent Mexican kick, I decided to finally visit the restaurant's 50th Street location.

All of the drinks on the margarita list looked absolutely scrumptious, but the Toloache—one of the eatery's signatures—was a no-brainer. Made with blanco tequila, hibiscus and blueberries it had just the right amount of tart to sweet ratio.

I'm a super nerd who always checks in on Foursquare. If you aren't a user, I suggest you download the app immediately. Two margaritas for the price of one is a pretty awesome deal. Just sayin'.

AVOCADO FRIES

The Avocado Fries certainly didn't disappoint. I wish there were more of them! Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, the coating was light enough the fries weren't too greasy. I'm honestly not sure what was in the dipping sauce, but I could eat it with any kind of fry and be satisfied.

GRASSHOPPER TACOS

Alright, here's where things get weird. I ordered the Grasshopper Tacos. As you can see from the picture they really are little grasshoppers—legs, heads and all. Surprisingly, the tacos were quite delicious as long as I didn't look at what I was eating. You could definitely tell there were insects inside the taco (it was super crunchy), but the overall flavor was great.

I probably won't order them again (I'm not that crazy), but I'll definitely be going back to Toloache.
