I really liked this place, I love tapas places so I've been to a lot, and this one definitely stands out. I can't say the dishes were the best I've ever had, but I think the combined quality of each dish is what puts this place near the top.

In my opinion the best Tapas bar in Boston/Cambridge.

Creative cuisine with nice twists on tapas. Good portions and everything is always well prepared.

It's a bit pricey and they STILL don't take reservation (as of summer 2010) but the wait is worth it. Great ambiance, amazing food.

I miss ...

Came here for dinner . Ordered Loretta beer that was on the menu by oxbow brewing . The beer bottle was so warm that I had to ask for a glass with ice in it to drink the beer . The food was ok . There are much much better tapas places around .
Also not sure what a 3% wellness charge is on the bill ...

This restaurant consistently serves up a wonderful dining experience. Perfect for a date night. Delicious tapas. Some dishes are oversalted to my taste but overall I always come away from a Toro dinner exceptionally happy. Servers are always educated about the menu and extremely helpful. Wine is del...

Well. Because the first time was so good, I decided to invite friends for my bday brunch. I think this was a mistake. They are not prepared to accommodate large parties. I'm slightly disappointed and probably won't go back. I definitely wouldn't come w a party larger than four. They just don't have...

If you are Spanish and want to detoxify American food, it is a good place for tapas, tapas and Spanish chef rations. If you go at night, you will find it full of young people, with a lot of hip-hop and rap environment. If you are inside the store or at the bar, you will have to speak out loud.

One of my favorite spots to visit in the city for the atmosphere and food. We always order a few tapas and paella. Service has always been on point and appreciate the slight menu changes that keep us looking forward to our next visit. Management team and chefs are doing a great job!

Our friends tried to drag us to this place for the past 6 months, but we always got to the terrible queues.

But a miracle happened and here we are. After six months of expectations and anticipation, we got into this paradise. My first impressions - mmm, this is something unusual, ...

AMAZING! Four of us dined at Toro New Year's Eve for dinner. Great sharing small plates, trying different flavors and foods. And then, we shared the Paella!!! Out of this world! The service was probably the best I have ever experienced. This was a packed New Year's Eve lively restaurant and I felt l...

Absolutely delicious tapas, every single dish we had was fantastic. Highly recommended. One star off for the atmosphere on a saturday night. The patrons of toro were clearly not a young crowd (average age was probably mid 30s) especially in the early evening hours, and there was ear splittingly loud...

Oh boy! The food was excellent and the service was more than amazing. Definitely exceedes my expectations. Totally loved it!

The place is open until quite late so it's a great place to hang out and get a beer.

Although, if you're not down to get dirty, it'll be a bit of work out for the arms. ...

Fantastic spot in the South End with outdoor seating area. Best to get a few tapas to split among your group, that way you get a taste of everything. Lots of vegetarian options, a couple standouts were the corn and the patatas bravas (pieces of potato with aioli and tomato sauces). Toro doesn't take...

This is my third time coming here and I would still only give it a 4 star. The reason being everything was good, but nothing was great or addictive. It doesn t encourage me to keep coming back.

Been to Barcelona Spain 3 times. This is one of the best tapas places in the city, although it's not traditional Spanish tapas. It is however delicious especially my last visit. The serrano ham was nutty, buttery and smooth. The whole bass was delicious as was the ribeye.

Housesitting in the area, dropped by on reccomendation on a Tuesday evening. Great service and delicious food. Felt squished in our table -in kissing distance to table neighbours and forced to listen to loud conversations. Not for a peaceful romantic dinner. Fab for an energectic, fun stylish vibe. ...

Loved the atmosphere, it's very warm and inviting! We sat right at the bar and ordered a Sea Bass, which was delicious (as a bit of humour, I accidentally ate the eye). If you're in the south end, I would definitely recommend checking this place out.

Good food, just way overpriced. The tapas are too small for a group to share, except for "patatas bravas", and too expensive for the size. The "croquetas, empanadas, boquerones" were good. The "pulpo a la gallega" is not worth it, you get more potatoes than pulpo.

We got the Gambas al Ajillo ($16) as a tapa - six, grilled to perfection shrimp. Despite being pricy, it was utterly delicious.Next we ordered the half size Paella Valenciana ($35) - it was the perfect amount for two people, the full sized one is more suited to at least 4-6 people. The paella had m...

It's a great spot for dinner with friends or drinks. It's a great tapas menu filled with a mix of delicious bites. Most of the dishes are meant to be eaten with bread-- bone marrow, anchovies, spreads, etc.... so it's great if you're sharing with people. It's not quite the menu for brunch. They open...

From start to finish, the dinner at Toro was a miserable disappointment.

We were seated outdoors, since that was the only available seating after a 45 minute wait and we d been told that seating indoors would be another 30 to 45 minutes. It was cold, but the hostess promised that hot beverages wo...

I am comparing this place to other tapas and cocktail places and it is underwhelming. The food was ok but not delicious. It felt like something was missing from each plate, like it was put together clumsily. I left feeling I would have spent the money better somewhere else.

Toro Boston is by far the most fantastic place I had visited. Their environment as well as the food they served was very tasty. The guys were awesome. I would suggest someone the best time to go Toro Boston is at the night time. It s livelier at night when it s full with young people.

We had two of the best, most friendly, knowledgeable waiters Javier and David. The food is exceptional and the short ribs literally melt in your mouth! Don't dare leav...

We had the aceitunas, erizos con caviar, lengua de cordero, and asado de huesos. Everything was prepared to perfection. Love the menu and the atmosphere. Service was great. Enjoyed this place more than other good tapas places in the area like the Barcelona. Looking forward to our next visit.
