Toro, in Boston, helmed by James Beard Award-winning chef, Ken Oringer, serves delectable Spanish tapas dishes in its contemporary and charming restaurant. The tortilla Española with a kale, egg, potato and onion omelet and the Boquerón's white anchovies in vinegar and olive oil make excellent pintxos starters. Some of Toro's most vibrant and delectable tapas plates include the chicken empanada de pollo with charred tomato salsa, the salt cod fritter croquettes de Bacalao with tempura lemon rings and the asado de huesos roasted bone marrow with oxtail marmalade. Equally inventive cocktails, such as the morning star with spicy gin, dark rum, citrus and ginger beer and the tinto de verano with red wine mixed with lemon-lime soda.

Toro's weekend brunch plates include the salchicha y huevos jalapeno maple sausage, fried eggs and crispy potatoes and along with other plates, make it a prime brunch spot.

    Everything was great, last course of bone marrow took to long up against our reservation out time, but it wasn’t a knock on the for service on a Saturday night. Favorite

    They made us wait 30 min for our reservation. Small plates were good but not fabulous for the price. Vegetarian paella deserves a 10/10, it was amazing. Overall experience 4.3/5.

    Food was amazing! We had the patatas bravas and made it a brava bomb. On a 3 day trip to Boston, this was the top dish we ate. It was that good! We also had the paella valenciana and enjoyed it very much, although I will say two shrimp is a bit light. It was an excellent meal but the ambiance left a little to be desired. They could stand to pull a table or two out to make it a more enjoyable dining experience. If the waiter has to pull the table out for the guest on the inside to get to their seat, the tables are too close together.
