Best Latin American Restaurants in Streeterville

We recently dined at Toro by Chef Richard Sandoval in Chicago, and it was an exceptional experience! The restaurant's vibrant atmosphere and innovative Latin cuisine truly set it apart. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and seated promptly. The menu is a delightful fusion of bold Central and South American flavors, expertly crafted with Chef Sandoval's innovative techniques. We started with the ceviche, which was fresh and bursting with flavor, perfectly balanced with sweet potato and red onion. The sweet corn empanada was a delightful surprise, with its crispy exterior and flavorful filling. The lobster roll was a highlight, with tender lobster meat complemented by a tangy aioli. The Cusco chicken was tender and juicy, with a rich, savory sauce that added depth to each bite. The potato 3 way was a creative and delicious dish that showcased the versatility of this humble ingredient. The service was attentive and knowledgeable, making our dining experience even more enjoyable. The ambiance is lively yet intimate, perfect for a special occasion or a casual night out. Overall, Toro by Chef Richard Sandoval is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience contemporary Latin cuisine at its finest. We highly recommend making a reservation and indulging in this culinary journey.

Neyali provided top quality service and great recommendations for in the restaurant and beyond. This was a great b day experience.

Hands down favorite meal in the city and I’m a big foodie. The food is always so creative and delicious. Fast service, awesome happy hour, and friendly staff. Coconut rice, piononos, and jerk pollo are all amazing. I would rate a 10/10 every time!

We arrived on time for our 8:30 reservation. When I approached the host stand one girl was on the phone and the other was texting and did not look up at me until she was done. When I gave her the reservation information she informed us that they over booked and that there was a private event. She said we would be seated in 15-20 mins. I brought friends there because I love the restaurant and it’s close to home. Not a great first impression unfortunately.

The food was amazing and so well done, and Chase was an excellent server!
