Great place but we felt sick afterward

by bostonmark at Citysearch

My wife and I have been here for the 2nd time because we thought it was such a cool place with awesome food. Had a great time and if you want to feel "in the know", than this is the place. Its even packed on a random Tuesday evening!

But this time my wife and I went home and felt really sick afterward. Im not saying its food poisoning but it definitely had in impact. It could be the 2lbs of butter on the corn and other tapas. Who knows!?

We will try it again and hope we get home without hugging the porcelain god.

• Pros: Atmosphere, drink menu, food
• Cons: Wait times...no res accepted

Great food, mediocre service

by sparrowwithabell at Citysearch

I can't comment the authenticity but I think Toro so far is the best when compared to Dali or Tapeo. The food are much delicately prepared and .. adventurous. I think the corn, beef tongue, octopus cerviche are some of the best to name a few. I have been back there more than a couple of times.

The cons are: no reservation. And, they don't seat until all the parties show up. It's hard for a large group. It's true the service aren't that great, but I tend to ignore them (even they might be rushing me..) For the food, I'm willing to put up with this. To get a seat promptly, I tend to go there around 5.45 p.m., after that, there is a long wait ...

• Pros: Food
• Cons: service, no reservation

Tapas that turns you on

by LorrieP at Citysearch

We tried this amazing little place for the first time, and we had a fantastic night which started with delicious red wine. You get the impression from the decor and general vibe that you really are in Spain, and the food is certainly delicious. We did an assortment of tapas plates and desserts and almost all of them were very good, particularly the Yellowfin tuna with citrus and soy. However, if you are a vegetarian, there are not a ton of choices if you don't eat fish.

• Pros: Hot vibe, awesome wine, delicious food
• Cons: They forgot to bring one of the things we ordered
