Toca Madera

Nestled in the bustling heart of Old Town Scottsdale at 4736 N Goldwater Blvd, Toca Madera Scottsdale stands as a dynamic modern Mexican steakhouse, where bold Latin flavors collide with sustainable, organic artistry in a sensory-driven escape from the Noble 33 Hospitality Group. Opened in 2014 as the original flagship of the acclaimed chain, this expansive venue—open Sunday brunch from 11am to 2pm, with dinners Monday-Thursday from 4pm to 11pm, Friday from 4pm to 1am, Saturday from 11am to 1am, and Sunday from 5pm to 11pm—invites locals and travelers to immerse in fire performers, live music, and craveable small plates, making it a vibrant choice for brunch buzz, date nights, or group fiestas in Arizona’s sunlit social playground.

Step into Toca Madera, and the space envelops you with upscale energy—a massive faux tree anchors the central bar amid colorful murals, woven lanterns, and high ceilings that create a lively, immersive flow seating around 200, blending indoor intimacy with a compact outdoor patio for al fresco mingling under string lights. The dining room hums with upbeat Latin-Asian beats and the sizzle of grills, while the lounge area pulses as a social hub for pre-dinner cocktails. As the evening builds, live DJs and occasional fire shows during peak hours foster an animated rhythm of clinking glasses and shared cheers among a diverse crowd of families, foodies, and after-sunset revelers. The atmosphere is trendy and welcoming, ideal for a casual brunch, intimate tasting, or festive gathering that keeps the momentum high without overshadowing the bold bites.

The menu highlights farm-fresh, seasonal ingredients from local Arizona growers, emphasizing shareable small plates (3-5 per person recommended) with a focus on premium steaks and seafood, paired with over 85 tequilas, sakes, and farm-to-glass cocktails like the signature Sumo Margarita ($16)—a zesty tequila infusion with passionfruit, chili, and lime for a sweet-spicy spark. Start with the Traditional Guacamole ($16), creamy avocado blended with cilantro and lime, served with house totopos and customizable add-ons like lump crab or pomegranate—a fresh, vibrant essential. The Hamachi Tiradito ($22) layers yellowtail in passionfruit leche de tigre with lemon sorbet and corn, delivering a cool, tropical zing that’s light and invigorating.

Seafood leads with the Ceviche Clásico ($20), market fish marinated in lime with sweet potato, red onion, and cancha crunch—a citrusy, oceanic ritual full of brightness. The Crispy Shrimp Taco ($18) stuffs battered prawns into soft shells with cabbage slaw, chipotle aioli, and mango salsa, offering a crunchy, spicy hand-held delight. Sushi fusion shines in the Dragon Roll ($22), tempura shrimp and eel wrapped with unagi glaze and tobiko pearls—crisp and umami-packed. Mains feature the Wagyu Short Rib ($32), slow-braised beef in ancho-chili glaze with sticky rice and scallions, tender and intensely spiced. The Grilled Octopus ($26) chars tentacles with romesco, chickpeas, and preserved lemon for smoky succulence. For a bold surf-and-turf, the Arroz Nikkei ($28) wok-tosses saffron rice with prawns, squid, and chili paste, a harmonious Iberian-Pacific medley. Vegetarians savor the Roasted Cauliflower ($16), spiced florets with tahini yogurt, pomegranate, and harissa for nutty, fiery depth.

Desserts wrap with the Churros con Chocolate ($12), crisp doughnuts dunked in spiced chocolate sauce—a warm, indulgent closer—or the Tres Leches Cake ($10), milk-soaked sponge with condensed milk and strawberries for a moist, tropical sigh.
