   Server sucked, I was ready to go, she was rude and ignorant. I enjoyed the food but will not be back because of the service.

   My medium rare steak was definitely medium to medium well, and had very little flavor.

   The ambiance was great. The decor was beautiful and felt like you were in a Spanish country having dinner. The service was top notch and made you feel like you were a vip guest from being seated promptly as we arrived to the general manager coming by to introduce himself and make sure we were having a great experience. Now for the real star of the show the food everything was prepared perfectly the beet salad was light n refreshing. The octopus was also made to perfection not a bit rubbery and the churrasco was cooked to perfection with the addition of the chimichuri just added to the overall flavor. And the drinks were top notch from the passion fruit pisco sour to the dessert flaming coffee we really enjoyed every aspect of our reservation. Our server Hassan was very welcoming and knowledgeable in both the menu and the drinks. Definitely will be returning and telling everyone this is a must try

   Wanted to try a new place a I’m glad my wife and I visited Toro. Special shout out to Elliot, who greeted, and opened the the door for us. Our server was falling behind and Elliot jumped in to take care of us as well as recommending amazing dishes and cocktails. We tried the ceviche Amarillo, Angry tuna tempura roll, cachapas, esquites mac and cheese, lomo salteado, short rib chaupa and finished with la bomba desert. Favorite was ceviche amarillo, tuna tempura roll and short rib chaupa. Tried different cocktails but my favorite was Incan goddess. Enjoyed the dj and atmosphere. Also special thanks to Gerardo, the restaurant, manager for checking in to ensure everything was going fine. Overall great experience and will be back soon. Recommend this to everyone!

   Experience was great the Staff was kind and very knowledgeable Angel our server made our evening a very special one he was amazing. As far as the food is concerned it is overrated and not that good my mother’s empanadas and chimichurri are way better. If I have to ask for salt and pepper restaurant You know that it’s lacking flavor.
