We had five dishes and the check came out to about $70. Not bad. The food was delicious. I highly recommend everything I ate. Also there was a little surcharge of 3% for service attendants. It was the best service we got ever! They were absolutely caring. My water was filled all the time. When my fork fell tot he ground, I didn’t have a chance to pick it up. Someone already picked it up and said will bring a new one. Excellent service!
Good food and flavors in a lively atmosphere. Food is reasonably priced for tapas and has some good flavors with a few twists and usual favorites. Service was attentive and friendly. It is a small place so you can be close to other diners and it does get fairly loud so not a good place for a quiet conversation at dinner. Overall we enjoyed our experience and the meal.
Hands down, Toro is my favorite restaurant in Boston and it’s only a few blocks from Northeastern University’s beautiful campus. Many times, I’ve taken the short walk through the beautiful South End neighborhood to Toro. I typically go with a group of friends and we order two or three tapas each and share them. It’s a feast of explosions of many different flavors. Eating a little bit of a lot of different things is a great way to eat dinner. My friends and I always walk out of Toro absolutely stuffed.
One location not to miss when you visit Boston. Advanced bookings is highly recommended as there is a long wait for available tables. We had the grilled octopus, grilled peppers, oysters, bone marrow and mussels. The IPA on tap is very good and of course try both the seafood and vegetarian paellas.
Great atmosphere in here and the space is pretty cozy. I heard a lot of good things about this place so had to try it. I got the tomato on bread dish, the corn dish, the bone marrow dish, and the shrimp gambas dish. The tomato on bread dish was kind of bland and salty for me so I wasn’t a fan. The corn was good but the topping that was lathered on it was also kind of salty. Also the corn obviously had to be handheld and eaten that way so it got messy real quick. The bone marrow dish was decent and the shrimp gambas dish was pretty good - the shrimp was cooked well and the leftover sauce in the dish could be eaten with bread that they provide. My biggest gripe of the night was all the dishes came at the same time which sucked since I dined by myself. Probably wouldn’t come back but like I said I had to try it given the hype
Toro’s food and ambience were such a treat. Ready for this pandemic to end so I can go back. The street corn makes you happy inside, the flank steak tender and flavorful, shishito peppers yummy, Brussels’ sprouts cooked perfectly, and the shrimp, which I only eat at restaurants, was worth it. We had the bone marrow which I didn’t care for. Too jelly for me.
Best tapas food in downtown. We had great time. Music and quantity of items are excellent.
A quaint tapas restaurant in Southie. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The food was excellent. We tried a lot of different dishes and I am ready to burst. I would recommend you to try the Dátiles con Jamón, Patatas Bravas, Pimientos, and Ghost King Thai Fried Chicken Sandwich (extremely spicy). The only constructive comment I would like to add is the Mezcal should be served with a slice of orange not a lime wedge. Everything else was excellent.
I love this place! Great cocktails and live music!
It’s been 4 years since my last visit. However the vibe and food both changed quite a lot. Music was so loud and food from tapas to seafood paella was very salty (good thing is they fill-in water frequently). In order to squeeze in as many people as possible, the table and personal space was very small and even tapas were put in smaller dish (happened to order some same dish’s as our last visit). In short, food looks better than they taste (though you can’t really see your food clearly with such glimmer, so remember to bring your iPhone Pro and you can finally check the food from the gallery)
