Bowl’d Choices: Fajita Del Rey

Tocaya Modern Mexican | Based in Los Angeles

Andre Butler

Fast casual Tocaya Modern Mexican features a half-dozen bowls on its menu, but it’s the Fajita Del Rey (FDR) that Andre Butler, Area Director, calls out as the top seller, winning over fans with its classic combination of flavors. “It has such rich ingredients and flavors that mesh well together,” he says. “The bowl is also colorful with pops of greens and reds.” Curated as a vegan and gluten-free base, guests are able to customize their choice of cheese and/or protein, from queso fresco or Cotija to chicken tinga or turkey picante.

The FDR is easy on the kitchen, too, cross-utilizing ingredients from other menu items and earning high scores in prep time. “No single ingredient is unique to this bowl build,” Butler says. “But the combination is what makes it a standout.”
