Toca Madera Celebrates a Decade with a New Los Angeles Location

Toca Madera, a celebrated steakhouse known for its modern take on traditional Mexican cuisine, is all set to open a sprawling new venue in Los Angeles as part of its ten-year anniversary celebrations. With a vision rooted in culinary excellence and innovative design, the new location at 8151 Melrose Avenue promises to deliver an unparalleled dining experience that builds upon the success of its predecessors.

Originally launched in April 2015, Toca Madera started its journey in West Hollywood and has since grown to multiple locations including Scottsdale, Las Vegas, and Houston. Miami is already in the works with a planned launch in 2025. The new Los Angeles outpost is not just an expansion; it epitomizes the brand's evolution and commitment to offering a unique dining experience that is reflective of both culinary innovativeness and aesthetic appeal.

This 9,200 square-foot venue will accommodate up to 250 guests, essentially doubling the size of its predecessor. As guests step into the restaurant, they will be welcomed by a breathtaking main dining area, featuring retractable roof awnings, a double-height wine room, and an open kitchen that encourages a sense of community among diners. Toca Madera’s signature modern organic décor will be prominent, with lush biophilic designs, custom woodwork, and sumptuous velvet upholstery enhancing the overall ambience.

For those looking for nightlife, the restaurant's vibrant lounge spanning 2,000 square feet will feature its own separate entrance on Melrose Avenue. Guests can look forward to live DJ performances, fire shows, and elegantly designed fireplaces that create an inviting atmosphere for unforgettable evenings. Additionally, a private dining room, measuring 400 square feet, offers an intimate retreat for those special moments.

The culinary offerings at this new venue will be spearheaded by Corporate Executive Chef Martin Heierling. The expanded kitchen means a broader and more robust menu, which is crafted to highlight fan-favorite selections such as the Sashimi Mexicano and Crispy Wonton Tacos featuring A5 Wagyu beef. At the core of this new menu will be a superb selection of Australian and Japanese steaks, prepared with Toca Madera’s signature flair.

Complementing the delightful food, Toca Madera will feature a dynamic cocktail menu that emphasizes fresh and seasonal ingredients, as well as a vast margarita selection along with an impressive variety of tequila and mezcal offerings. The combination of food and drink promises patrons a top-tier experience, whether they are enjoying a casual meal or a celebratory gathering.

Construction on the new restaurant is expected to commence in early 2025, with the ambitious goal of completing the project within a year. The existing Toca Madera on West 3rd Street will officially close its doors after February 24, 2025, marking the end of one chapter and the exciting start of another.

Toca Madera continues to redefine Mexican dining, blending locally sourced ingredients with bold, innovative flavors, from beautiful shared plates fit for everyone—vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options included. Recognized for its stylish decor and a commitment to high-quality dining, Toca Madera has become one of the flagship projects under the management of Noble 33, in collaboration with The Madera Group.
