Got 6 different tapas and ALL of them were unbelievable :D the bone marrow, sweetbreads, duck legs, and corn on the cop were epic!!

Had a Nantucket Mule cocktail, pimientos with sea salt, grilled corn, bone marrow, and pork belly/clams. All delicious!

Anything off the menu will be to die for, my personal favorites is the beef tongue 👅

Show up about 40 minutes before you want to eat, because unless it’s 5:30 on a Monday, you’re going to wait. Luckily, that’s just enough time to order and drink one of Toro’s excellent cocktails. Read more

At a loss for words. The best meal I've had in Boston- and I like to food.

Corn, cocktails, octopus

Every dish has amazing flavor, but my favorite is the Datiles con Jamon - gotta love that sweet and savory.
John GrocciaAugust 7, 2017
The burger is awesome. But you must have the pork belly. Well worth the 20 minutes wait.

Best restaurant in Boston, The food is gooood!
Rebecca YiSeptember 22, 2016
Corn is a must - messy to eat so wouldn't advise new couples to order it ;] Lamb sausage was too salty for my taste. Get here early bc it gets packed.
Gina LucianoFebruary 4, 2010

The pork belly with kimchi vegetables is fantastic!

The Tailpipe and Jalapeño Bloody Maria were phenomenal. And bone marrow that is fit for royalty!

So much swag in here! Get the pan con tomate, and the spicy margarita🤙

Come early. The beef cheeks are insane and you can't go wrong with actually everything on the menu
Venkatesh HodavdekarMarch 31, 2011
The dish here is definitely the Suquet. It's a stew made up of a whole lot of different sea food. Also, in my experience, anything with corn in it is awesome.
Clark Van Der BekenJanuary 29, 2014
The Patatas Bravas is a good introduction into tapas and totally worth it when you're hungry.
Jingshu HuangNovember 6, 2015
If you have a party of 2, get HALF ORDER!!! They have pretty impressive portions. Grilled corn is aweson. And the Seafood noodles.
Courtney LaPorteOctober 28, 2011
Perfect South End location within walking distance from the Boston University Medical Campus. Grass-fed hamburguesas and enchiladas were life-changing!
WiDFebruary 17, 2021
I have to visit this place every time I go to Boston for their paella!
ThrillistMay 14, 2010
For a Recovery Cocktail, order the off-the-menu Mighty Santino from bartender Andy McNees an herbal remedy of the liquid variety with a mix of Fernet Branca, ginger syrup, lemon, & Angostura Bitters Read more

Get the CORN - it is amazing! Toro has the best Mojitos in Boston. Get there early. Wait is always crazy (always a good sign).
Amy ZiffDecember 17, 2015
Loved the beets which were a special but everything was super tasty!
Anne Mai BertelsenJune 18, 2013
So if you love duck confit, order pato con membrillo - smoked duck glazed with quince paste. Amazing
Maya ShanmugamApril 9, 2015
The Pato con Membrillo is crispy on the outside and sticky n' sweet...so good

Corn, Great drinks, Veg Paella
Patrick WJanuary 25, 2014
Lived in Chile for 6 months and the Pisco Sours are legit here. Totally on point. Only lacking the proper glass.
Gilt CityJune 6, 2011
Make sure to try the decadent maiz asado, corn smothered in ailoli, lime, espelette pepper and aged cheese. This isn’t your abuela’s corn-on-the-cob.
Earn NichaDecember 22, 2016
The best Spanish tapas restaurant in Boston! Get the corn and paella.
John DewarNovember 27, 2012
We ordered 14 dishes. Everything was good, but the weakest ones were the bone marrow (too salty), duck drumettes (indistinct), Brussels sprouts (overcooked), pork belly (too much for me).
Michelle SteyerFebruary 5, 2014
The corn is incredible! Ahi crudo is amazing too. Be prepared to wait
K KagetsuMay 18, 2014
Pulpo was amazing and very tender! Tuna was delicious as well.
