Tocolo Cantina Glen Cove

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Tocolo Mexican Restaurant, and it was an outstanding experience! Their menu is an impressive 99% gluten-free, which is such a rare and refreshing find for Mexican cuisine. As someone who is gluten-free, it was amazing to have so many delicious options to choose from. Enio, the manager, was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about gluten-free dining, which made us feel confident and cared for throughout our meal. But here's the thing—even if you're not gluten-free, this place absolutely rocks! The food is packed with flavor, and the variety on the menu ensures there's something for everyone to enjoy. If you're craving authentic, flavorful Mexican food that doesnt leave you feeling gross, Toloco is a must-visit. We'll definitely be back!

Wanted to love this place but sadly I can’t. The first time was a great experience. I have celiac and so when I visit a restaurant for the first time I like to speak with the manager. She was very personable and food was good and safe. Next time, I ordered take out. Staff was totally different (which was fine, but surprising) and while waiting, a little girl who was eating vomited all over the place. Unsure why but seen that at a restaurant before. My appetite was a bit ruined so only ate a small amount, but the food didn’t taste great. The last time, went around brunch time. Same manager as the 2nd time. The brunch menu listed all items that could be made gluten free. My server didn’t understand my needs and didn’t seem to have patience so I wanted to order with a manager and double check that ALL the items listed gluten free could actually be made gluten free. He had no idea so had to go to the back and ask. Less than half could actually be made gluten free. that didn’t sit well with me so I stuck with my usual. Right before it came, I took a gluten digest supplement in case. Upon eating it, it didn’t taste like it did the other two times. Upon letting the manager know this, he tried opening the taco with his bare hands and sending it to the back. Then he brought it back and said it was fine. I got so sick after, and could barely function for a few days and had to miss work. I was told the owner has celiac, so I am truly saddened that the staff doesn’t treat the customers seriously. I never like to leave negative reviews but feel the need to inform others so that they won’t get sick like I did. It’s great when restaurants have gluten free options and advertise as such, but it’s more important to ensure that it is safely prepared. Cute atmosphere, but will not be back.
