    Waitress walked past many nice tables to seat us in the corner of a room that's clearly an after thought. They just have this huge room in the back with tons of tables squished together. It was 10x louder in this room than the rest of the restaurant. No dividers or decor, it's completely different than the rest of the place. We (my party AND THE STAFF) had to ask 2 guests consistently to move their chairs so we could gain access to our seats. We were literally shoved into a corner booth with no way out without permission. You have a 50/50 shot to get a nice seat. Food was good though

    We had reservations and were seated upon arrival. Service was very good. We were not rushed to order. Server was able to answer questions about menu items. Sufficient menu selections from appetizers to dessert. Food was good, items arrived timely and the entrees were hot and nicely prepared. Really enjoyed the fresh guac. Portions were more than ample. Had the dessert special which was not what I expected but quite tasty. On the pricy side but we were not surprised having been here before. My only complaint would be that I was cold & had to put my coat back on. I would recommend Toro..

    When on a slow Monday evening. While the shrimp and beef tacos were yummy, the prices were ridiculous. Ordered two margarita flights, but I believe they forget the tequila. Our server only checked backed once or twice and we were waiting for him at least three times. I will not return.

    Guac sampler was great. I did ask if the “spicy one” was very spicy, ands the water cringed a bit and indicated it was “pretty spicy if you get a big scoop of the mango”. No heat to it whatsoever, but still delicious. Shrimp enchiladas were fantastic and a huge portion.

    From reservation to checkout, we love the precise and welcoming quality of eating at Toro Cantina. We haven’t been to Toro in a few months and there were pleasant renovations in the main table Area. Our seats were comfortable and there was plenty of space for our party of 10. The young people truly enjoy the children’s selections - one calls the chicken the best ever!! Adults Shared the large lobster quesadilla and the large mixed salad along with appetizers of table sized guacamole and queso with chips. Drinks were satisfying and yummy. Soup was delicious. A young athlete at the table devoured the beef taco. As always, service was fast, friendly and very accommodating. Granddaughter from out of town requested Toro for Christmas visit treat and all were delighted!!
