Toca Madera is set to open in a new wing of Scottsdale Fashion Square Mall, featuring something unusual for a Mexican restaurant: tofu.
The Los Angeles-based restaurant will use local ingredients, offering traditional menu items as well as vegan, paleo, and gluten-free options – and a few decadent choices like a churro ice cream sandwich.
Tofu will be used as a meatless option for empanadas, tostadas, and tacos. The bar will feature a selection of tequilas and wine options from around the world. Food will be served tapas-style, meaning everything is meant to be shared.
The first Toca Madera opened in 2015 in Los Angeles. Owners Tosh Berman and Amrou Manaseer plan to open the Scottsdale location and a third location in Dubai within the year.
