Toro Boston Reviews
Really great food, good atmosphere, fun menu and good
Really great food, good atmosphere, fun menu and good service . My only critique would be that they should maybe remove a two top to make some more room, we had to move our table to get in/out of the booth. Aside from that, it was great!
I had impeccable service at the bar.
Knowledgeable and friendly staff who were more than willing to make recommendations. I was dining alone which is tough with tapas, so wish I could have tried more dishes but I was stuffed after the dates and grilled octopus! Highly recommend!

We went with some local friends who have been multiple times and it was possibly the best Tapas I have had. Amazing knowledgeable staff who could not enough to help. Food sensational. So much flavour. We loved it.
Toros got to be one of my favorite restaurants in Boston.
This was one of my first restaurants I went to when I moved to Boston 3 years ago and it holds up year after year. The food is delicious. The oysters are a must and so is the pork steak, mushrooms, and gambas. The bravas bomb is the most iconic. The

Good service. I must start by a positive, service (Matthew) was great, the terrace was nice. Had the Bone marrow, ternera tartar, chorizo, vieiras, fig and mojama. Bone marrow was a bit too sweet, mojama was really good, tartar was great, chorizo not
My experience at Toro was mixed.
Bonnie was the rudest and most condescending manager I've encountered. Her attitude detracted from an otherwise very good restaurant. While everything tasted good, especially the foie gras, but I wished the portions were larger given the price points
Tried this place out.
Have to say I was disappointed with a few things. First of all the manager Bonnie is extremely rude. This type of person should not be working in any hospitality type job. The food is very good but the prices are unreasonable compared to the sizes of
Small portions, high prices, meh execution
We ordered classic tapas-- we could. not believe how small the portions were for the prize. Cerdo Iberico was great-- GTOTM drink was nice--after that not so good-- bread was served in small portions so we had to keep asking for refills, the tortill

Not sure why this place has such good reviews, I was very underwhelmed when dining here. Although the presentation of each dish was nice, I can't say that there was any dish that had a wow factor. Except for the empanada, most of the dishes lacked fl

Overall the food and drinks were good but the loud and crowded atmosphere unfortunately detracted from my enjoyment. Food: All the dishes were very tasty albeit on the pricey side. The octopus was our favorite, it was super tender and went perfectl
Fantastic food, service and ambiance at Toro! Great
Fantastic food, service and ambiance at Toro! Great vegetarian dishes, we especially loved the paella with tofu and the carrots. The eggplant and the goat cheese were also good.
Fantastic.
We had so many dishes and everything was so good. The mushroom and potatoes were among my favorites. Can't go wrong with churros as a sweet option. The place itself was smaller than I initially thought but it made for a super nice dinner ambiance.

Food: Asado was so good - bone marrow was small but delicious. I loved with having with bread. It had different flavors every time I had it and they were equally delicious. Vegan paella was not too bad. Would've enjoyed more if there was more seasoni
A Hidden Gem
Last night, I stumbled upon Toro on Washington Street while celebrating my daughter's birthday, and what a delightful surprise it turned out to be! This tapas bar exudes style and charm. The food was simply amazing, the drinks were top-notch, and the
Worst Boston experience
My partner made a reservation two weeks ago to have dinner at 7:30. We showed up early to see if perhaps we could have dinner earlier. We were told no, and to come back at 7:30. We paid for an Uber to come and drop us off at the restaurant. Upon arri
Avoid at all costs if you value your time and sanity - do not go to toro!!!
The service was abysmal, with staff members had a level of incompetence and rude behavior that was truly astonishing. We were left feeling neglected and frustrated, ultimately leading us to end our dinner plans and leave early. It's a shame that such
The food is always great and the ambience is fun and lively.
It's likely going to be full, leaving you with quite a wait. However, the host staff makes every effort to get you seated as quickly and easily as possible. The bartenders are knowledgeable and patient. It's not ideal for groups, because space is so
It's not even one star.
Literally the worst place I've ever been to. The front desk and waiters were so rude. And disrespectful. Do not ever go to this place ever.
Toro is dark, loud, and intimate.
The music is blasting fun bops, but the tables are incredibly close together. For a dinner for 2 at 7pm on a Saturday, we were gently ushered out around the two hour mark. While I understand that they are turning tables, it would have been nice to

It was ok.
I had gone to Barcelona a week before (another tapas restaurant nearby) and it was WAY cheaper with very comparable food and drinks. Basically got the same amount of dishes/# of drinks and toro was almost double the money with tip. Very small and wei

I stopped into this place on a whim and boy am I glad that I did. Very small place with a TON of flavor. The tostadas with the tuna was insane. Flavorful and fresh and the cilantro pulls the whole thing together. The burrata and radish dish was next

Really enjoyed my trip to Toro! Came with a group of 4 and were able to split a bunch of small plates. The patatas bravas, goat cheese, and empanadas were definitely the highlights for me!! Delicious. We also got the paella, and sliders as well as

spectacular.
went for birthday dinner and they gave a special birthday menu - great vibe great food great drinks great atmosphere and more affordable than anticipated
This was a good restaurant/bar.
The food felt authentic and the paella was so good! I'd go bar. The ambiance was great in the evening, in terms of lighting.
Great food and atmosphere, a little too tight at the bar
Great atmosphere-very much like similar places in Europe-very friendly and knowledgeable bartenders on food and drink. The Gambas al Ajillo (garlic shrimp) was the best I have had anywhere-get extra bread to soak up the sauce (the bread was also exce
Wow!!!

Take me to Espana! Amazing Spanish tapas at this South End restaurant.
Take me back to Espana! Fantastic tapas and attentive waitstaff at this Spanish restaurant in the South End. The tomato pizza was good. The octopus, empanadas and potatoes were flavorful and very good. The beef sliders were very good! All tapas were
Always Great
This was my fourth time and as in the past, everything was great. Service and atmosphere is always attentive and lively. Good always perfect. The paellas are fantastic. Go with friends/family and go hungry!
Great food, noisy and lively
We made reservations and were seated shortly after arriving. The server was friendly and efficient. The food was very good and we tried variety of dishes. The restaurant is crowded and noisy which could be seen as fun and lively. In our case, it w

Pricey, small plates are on par, some of the dishes were salty. Drinks and service was outstanding. Difficult to find parking.

Great place for tapas in the South End! It's a bustling, good kind of loud, busy place! Went with a party of 3, had to wait about 10 minutes for a table with a 9 pm reservation. Not much room to wait in the winter if it's cold out because the bar g
A delicious selection of tapas, all of the perfect portion.
The interior is cozy and perfect for a romantic night. The wine list is full of options (I tried a delicious orange wine). We ended the night with the Nutella Basque cheesecake, which was divine!
Toro was delicious.
We ordered about 8 different plates and all were very good. Some of the portions were smaller than others, like the empanada was more for one person rather than to share. We also got the seafood paella. It was big enough to feed four of us since we o

5 stars for the service because of how quickly everything came out. My waitress never told me her name but she was nice enough. 3 stars for the set up. It's super loud inside and it feels like you're right up on other people. Had my personal space in
One of my favorite places to eat in Boston still.
Getting a reservation is tough, especially for big groups - plan ahead! Must haves include the street corn (elote), bone marrow, jamon, and burger sliders. The elote is what they're known for. Even after many years later, their corn was as sweet and

My fiance and I came in for date night and definitely see why it's so popular. We had 5:00 reservations and when we arrived, there were already regulars lining up outside to snag the tables by the windows when they opened the doors. It's a small rest
I have lived and traveled in Spain for years, Toro would make the Spaniards PROUD!
Visiting Toro for a beloved nephew's birthday (his choice) has become a tradition and last week's visit did not disappoint. Starting with the table in the window, we were delighted to sip our rioja and nosh on some exquisite pinchos: marinated olives
Connect with users posting reservations for Toro Boston
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Toro Boston. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Toro Boston at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Toro Boston page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ElaborateHouse74, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* ElaborateHouse74 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ElaborateHouse74 for any questions Peter may have as ElaborateHouse74 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ElaborateHouse74 now uses their connections at Toro Boston to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ElaborateHouse74 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ElaborateHouse74 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ElaborateHouse74's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Toro Boston!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
