Tocaya was born out of a mission for better eating. Through its ‘Modern Mexican’ cuisine (tacos, salad bowls, and burritos), the restaurant has a ‘vegan-first’ concept – every item on the menu starts off 100% vegan, and guests can choose protein and ‘queso’ (cheese with peppers) to add to dishes. There are already three vegan protein and two vegan queso options, with more being launched in autumn 2019 along with a new MFM ‘Buy One Get One Free’ offer on a featured vegan menu item.
