Toloa Rooftop

It was my first at this location. Unique style food. I tried a dish that had cubes of melon and cubes of pork. It was delicious. I also tried one of the barbacoa tacos. There was another dish just can't recall the name. Everything was delicious. I sat at the bar and the bartender was really nice and informative on telling me that you get seated outside by reservation. They also have a social gathering on certain days. It's a small clean establishment and decor is modern. The drinks were delicious too.

The ambience was nice considering it was a Thursday night when my friend and I went to have a few evening drinks, service was great! A little overpriced, but worth it for the service. I had a few beers and there tacos which were nothing great, and could have done without all the black beans. Overall place was a nice place to hang out.

Never been here but it had kool groovy vibes!! Made reservations just in case. Wise idea! It's on the 2nd floor. Was sat near bar area, only 1 other table n a couple at bar. Friendly young male server, prompt, polite n respectful. Get ready to blow some serious money at this place. I believe it was $24 for a thin cut of fajita. You know as well as I do, that's literally the cheapest cut of meat. Food portions are na ting to write home about. Grab a burger or sandwich before you get here! I haven't had hookah in a while and was in a jovial mood; take some extra underwear: $100 just for that!! Someone sakelow dispacio!! Inside got packed real quick, big party in attendance as well. If you're perhaps looking to "impress" a valley taco girl, this'll do it IF not save a ton of money and hit up Logan's!! Total bill that night for this place- $350.

The best experience, the best food, the best of the best. Above and beyond. Andrea was our party server she treated us like a vip. I highly recommend this place if you live around or visiting

Went for drinks with friends on a Saturday night. Toloa has a beautiful bar ambiance. The crowd picked up around 10:30-11.A few things:- I was on a waitlist for a table in case there were cancellations or no shows. There were at least 3 tables open at 11pm so I asked the host how the waitlist was looking and if I could have a table. We were seated with no problem after asking. Reservation highly encouraged.-Food was good but the 12am taco options were great!-After trying a few cocktails, we opted for bottle service. **Mixers were charged separately (ex. Bottles of water, can of soda).-Lots of reviews commenting on wait time, but it's a new place so it wasn't an issue for me given the craftiness of the cocktails.

The food and drink were fine, but the poor service left a bad taste. The good: our cocktails (the Macho and Astra, if I recall correctly) were well crafted. We also shared the cochinita dumplings, which were fried and delicious.The ok: We both got the steak. I had changed my order from medium rare to medium, but the server understandably forgot to amend it, so I ended up with medium rare, which was probably not the best option for a fajita cut of meat. I couldn't finish it, but my dining companion quite liked it. It was accompanied by a little bit of asparagus and a bland blue cheese sauce.The bad: The menu had just changed from what was posted online, and I was disappointed by the limited offerings. There were no vegetable dishes (unless you count falafel) or salads available. The server said he would inquire with the chef about other options, but that was also forgotten.The server was nice, but clearly overwhelmed by multiple tables, including a party next to us that gradually grew more and more enormous, until they annexed our extra chairs (fair enough). My companion paid the bill before we finished, so perhaps the staff figured they didn't have to attend to us any longer. He had also told them multiple times, including on the reservation that it was my birthday. No acknowledgement whatsoever. I don't need a song and dance, but a little candle might be nice. The insulting: we were waiting and waiting for leftovers at our table when a hostess came by and interrogated us whether we had reserved the table. We had. She explained that the table had another reservation more than half an hour later, which was irrelevant. She also had an earpiece in and couldn't hear us that well, apparently, but it doesn't explain her initial appalling rudeness.

Thank you TOLOA for making my birthday brunch a beautiful and unforgettable experience.Everyone that had a hand in organizing, decorating, & preparing for this party made the planning process pleasant from start to finish.A special thanks to Mariana Chong and Amalia Ramirez for going above and beyond. They took care of everything from picking up flowers from Southern Roots, rentals from Cantù's, to printing personal menus and setting the tables. Everything was beautifully done.The restaurant is stunning and makes you feel like you are not in Mcallen. The elevator to the main floor is a nice touch. The service was welcoming and attentive. The brunch menu was a hit and everyone loved the mimosa and sangria bar cart set up.Thank you so much for making this such a successful and memorable event. It was a very special birthday and TOLOA surpassed all expectations.

Food and drink were good. Nothing mind-blowingly innovative, just well-executed. No complaints about this.Rooftop dining in the RGV is a gimmick that makes no sense. There is no skyline here. No interesting natural vistas. Just stroads and retail parks as far as the eye can see. "Rooftop" two stories high is hardly rooftop.I had booked a reservation for my partner's birthday on OpenTable (which was never acknowledged once by the staff during service, not even a candle with her dessert), and while we were waiting for our leftovers to be packed (which took ages), a hostess approached us to ask if we had a reservation for the table we were at."Yes. It was booked for 8:00PM for my partner's birthday." (Had to throw that in another time, because the last two times I threw that in there, it seemed to have gone unacknowledged.)"Oh. Because we had this table booked for 10:00. What name did you book it under?""Uh-huh. It's 9:15. It doesn't matter what name it was booked under at this point, because I've already paid the bill and we're just waiting for our to-go box. And we would just like to go at this point."We got our to-go and left. For the PRICE point, staff need to be more ON-point.There are many exciting new restaurants opening in the area that I would rather give a chance to, than to give this one a repeat visit.

The hype is just that hype. The service is horrible. If you want to be seen and not drink or eat, then this place is for you. The place needs management that has worked in restaurants before to ensure that servers have a set rotation. Second, the Internet was down and they did not have a hard wired computer to continue processing drink and food orders. Solution: good old pen and paper. Better service and food can be had at other restaurants on the same strip.

Overall this restaurant is average. The decore is slightly over the top, music was really loud, service we received was not great. There were only 3 tables and our server acted as if she did not want to be there. Looks like the outside area may be nice when the weather is good Food was average. Menus is limited. Drinks were also average.
