    Toca Madera is a Mexican steakhouse that spends its nights thumping and its mornings dim, candlelit, and forgiving of whatever you did last night. The brunch tower arrives in three tiers and feeds a small committee, and the tres leches French toast goes soft and custardy under the cinnamon cream. Nobody will stop you from ordering a wagyu steak next to your bloody mary, since the dinner menu stays open all day.

    How we score

    The dishes from the writeups

    • Tres leches French toast

      “But the star is the thick wedge of tres leches French toast, with a crisp crust and pillowy inside that goes almost custardy when drenched in cinnamon cream and berries.”

      The Infatuation
    • Queso fundido

      “super-thick queso fundido, its browned, bubbly top practically begging to be stretched into warm tortillas (or eaten straight from the cast iron).”

      The Infatuation
    • Wagyu steak

      “Want to order a Wagyu steak with brunch?”

      Eater
    • Breakfast enchiladas

      “Order over-the-top dishes like tres leches French toast, vanilla cast iron pancakes, breakfast enchiladas, and truffle quesadillas.”

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
