Incredible food!!! Very friendly staff and beautifully decorated restaurant. We went for brunch and started off with the guac, it was super fresh and creamy. The 'enmolado de pato' and 'pollito de leche' are must tries - they really know how to do mole here, and it is not an easy prep. The drinks were delicious too, and very nicely priced which is always a pleasant thing ;)

Beautifully prepared Mexican food, this place is an incredible addition to the Riverdale neighborhood and to the culinary scene of the Bronx.

Our son and his girlfriend went to Tobala on a Saturday night after celebrating various graduations. Busy, but nowhere near full, so didn't need a reservation.

Food was really quite good. However, it's also quite expensive. $15-$20 for appetizers and $35-$50 for entrees. Drinks are at least $15. Makes you think twice about going out for a casual dinner.

Finally, a recurring complaint. As is typical in restaurants these days, there are lots of hard surfaces so the noise level is high. They do this on purpose, of course, because that seems to create a sense of being busy and people spend more. Still, it makes conversation somewhat difficult.

Again, the food was quite good and we would enjoy going back again. However, the high price will probably mean we won't make the trip.

The food is very good to excellent Duck mole is exceptional. The corn dish is fab. But the basics need attention: Having the main course served while still eating the apps is a mistake, as is failing to provide napkins, despite asking twice. But when one makes a mistake a simple apology is appropriate but none was offered. And there’s no excuse for the bathroom not having toilet paper, nor the (very pretty) communal sink not having any towels.

Visited on a weekday evening for a family birthday. The decor is inviting, bright and calming and the staff welcoming. Our server was phenomenal. They thoroughly explained the menu and were attentive and efficient. The food itself was outstanding…. Fresh, simple and satisfying. Portions were average and prices on the higher end but we were satisfied with the entire experience and will definitely return.

More comfortable seating (particularly the chairs that offer little support) would be appreciated together with more vegetarian and fish offerings for the main courses.

All in all, this restaurant is a welcome addition to Riverdale and highly recommended,
