This is Toca Madera, a small plates Mexican concept by way of EDL Management Group bringing with it a loungey vibe and and outstanding cuisine and service.

Dark and wood-lined, the 120 seat restaurant is practically overtaken by a massive bar made of crystal and quartz. Surrounding that, a long banquette fits a handful of two tops while much of the rest of the space works as a softened lounge, with plush seats and low tables. The mix of stone, tile and wood spills out into the indoor patio space, which is lined to the high ceiling with hanging plants in metal boxes. There’s even a built in photobooth for those particularly wild nights.

On the menu, executive chef Raymond Alvarez is cooking up "barrio-style fine dining," which translates into everything from table-side guacamole to sashimi aguachile to Ensenada-style fish tacos. Back at the bar, tequilas and mezcals take center stage, along with a rotating selection of beer and wine.

To sip — or gulp, depending on how your week went down — the Toca Margarita is made with tequila blanco, Combier, agave, lime and orange; the La Bonita is made with tequila blanco, strawberry, basil, lime, black pepper and alderwood salt rim; and the Amante Picante is a spicy mix of tequila blanco, Patron citronage, serrano pepper, cilantro, lime, agave and tajín.

The plush purple booths provide comfy nooks to relax in. And after looking around and taking in the engraved skulls, living walls and some of the slightly medieval light fixtures, you may think of both Prince and "Game of Thrones." Three margaritas into your evening, you'll forget all about that "Game of Thrones" finale and head into the photo booth.
