Editorial Review for Toro – by Citysearch Staff
In Short
Chef Ken Oringer replicates the success of Clio and Uni, his pair of award-winning Back Bay restaurants, with this stylish tapas bar. Located on the edge of the South End, just north of Massachusetts Ave., Toro lists its daily menu on a large chalkboard, and communal tables only add to the social vibe that most tapas spots enjoy. Typical menu items include salt cod fritters, rainbow beet salad and griddled cuttlefish.

What some people don't know about this place is the empenadas are made by this woman in her home. Then she delivers them to Toro, and they cook and serve them. They are the most delicious thing I've ever tasted, not to mention, home made! The staff is great, Mojito's are yummy, and it's nice that you can see the kitchen, so you know it's clean. The sangria leaves something to be desired, but they do put delicious fresh orange and apple slices in it. They are good to munch on between bread slices. Also, you absolutely have to get the corn. I know everyone probably says that, but it's amazing.
Pros: Amazing Tapas, good for groups of friends
Cons: You leave smelling like the fireplace burning inside!

Fun restaurant with outstanding food. The grilled corn with pepper and aged cheese was incredible, I broke my don't eat corn on the cob in public rule for it, and would do so again! The menu showcases non traditional items that you don't see at other restaurants, I would suggest being adventurous and try new things here. The sweetbreads were excellent. I was even surprised at the value of the food. The outdoor seating is great for the summer as well.
