wesssssrodOctober 30, 2012OMG the bone marrow is a must try. It will change your life! The pan con tomate with anchovies is a must try too!
Dana VillmoreMay 3, 2013Got 6 different tapas and ALL of them were unbelievable :D the bone marrow, sweetbreads, duck legs, and corn on the cop were epic!!
Jennifer SSeptember 18, 2012Had a Nantucket Mule cocktail, pimientos with sea salt, grilled corn, bone marrow, and pork belly/clams. All delicious!
- Maria RiabtchenkoJanuary 23, 2015Anything off the menu will be to die for, my personal favorites is the beef tongue 👅
Connie LuJune 3, 2013Every dish has amazing flavor, but my favorite is the Datiles con Jamon - gotta love that sweet and savory.
John GrocciaAugust 7, 2017The burger is awesome. But you must have the pork belly. Well worth the 20 minutes wait.
Gina LucianoFebruary 4, 2010delicious Spanish tapas & great atmosphere (open kitchen & communal tables)! Favs: TAPAS - grilled corn w/ aged cheese, scallop ceviche, braised short rib, duck, & mussels w/ chorizo; DRINK - sangria
Gloria ChinDecember 1, 2013get the uni bocadillo-- sea Urchin, miso butter, pickled mustard seed and crusty, pressed bread
Venkatesh HodavdekarMarch 31, 2011The 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.
Jingshu HuangNovember 6, 2015If you have a party of 2, get HALF ORDER!!! They have pretty impressive portions. Grilled corn is aweson. And the Seafood noodles.
Rebecca YiSeptember 22, 2016Corn 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.
Ahmet TMarch 2, 2014The Tailpipe and Jalapeño Bloody Maria were phenomenal. And bone marrow that is fit for royalty!
Clark Van Der BekenJanuary 29, 2014The Patatas Bravas is a good introduction into tapas and totally worth it when you're hungry.
Ava PollackMay 18, 2013Come early. The beef cheeks are insane and you can't go wrong with actually everything on the menu
Brendan CottamNovember 26, 2017So much swag in here! Get the pan con tomate, and the spicy margarita🤙
Courtney LaPorteOctober 28, 2011Perfect South End location within walking distance from the Boston University Medical Campus. Grass-fed hamburguesas and enchiladas were life-changing!
- Skip the seafood paella and get the vegetarian paella instead — so much more flavor!
Anne Mai BertelsenJune 18, 2013So if you love duck confit, order pato con membrillo - smoked duck glazed with quince paste. Amazing
Get the CORN - it is amazing! Toro has the best Mojitos in Boston. Get there early. Wait is always crazy (always a good sign).
Zac AghionFebruary 15, 2015Bar makes a solid martini and there's an excellent selection of Spanish fare.- Michellee CJune 4, 2013Must try the roasted bone marrow! Melt in the mouth delicious with the oxtail marmalade.
- If your looking for a seat at the bar at a busy time, tell a bartender and they'll put you on the list
Maya ShanmugamApril 9, 2015The Pato con Membrillo is crispy on the outside and sticky n' sweet...so good
Get the corn on the cob, the cauliflower and the roasted bone marrow small plates. Share and enjoy. You can thank me later.
Rachel CohenJune 1, 2011Hot damn, this restaurant is amazing. Bone marrow and corn on the cob is a MUST here. Very enjoyable food, service and atmosphere.
Patrick WJanuary 25, 2014Lived in Chile for 6 months and the Pisco Sours are legit here. Totally on point. Only lacking the proper glass.
BravoNovember 12, 2010Modern tapas from Ken Oringer. Great vibe, great drinks, great food. What more could you ask for? -Tania Peterson, Top Chef Just Desserts
Gilt CityJune 6, 2011Make 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.
Citysearch BostonApril 30, 2010Go on the 1st Thursday of every month 10pm-1am for insanely fun industry nights (check the theme and dress accordingly) with free passed tapas, drink specials and always (always!) $1 PBR.

Alicia KosasihOctober 1, 2012I just had one of the best grilled corn ever. It was just simply amazing. Love the Aioli!
Michelle SteyerFebruary 5, 2014The corn is incredible! Ahi crudo is amazing too. Be prepared to wait- BravoDecember 2, 2010I love the corn with aioli, cheese & lime. A fun neighborhood scene perfect for delicious snacks. -Ana Sortun, Top Chef
Tony UrsilloDecember 8, 2013Lots of places do bacon-wrapped dates, but haven't found any as good as the ones at Toro. Get two orders.
