If you love Spanish food, make sure you try Toro. My husband and I spent a month in Spain 2 years ago and had been craving the food and the ambiance. Toro Kitchen and Bar did the trick. From the charcuterie to the paella accompanied by a wonderful wine selection, we were able to recreate our typical date night in Spain. We truly enjoyed the food and the service was impecable. If you haven't tried this restaurant, you should put it on your places to try list. read more

The service was amazing! My boyfriend had never had traditional Spanish food before. Our waiter explained the entire menu to him as well as the drink options. We went during happy hour and ordered two appetizers and a small paella. The tacos were fabulous and I would definitely order them again. We also go the potato appetizer and it was good but I don't know if it is something I would go back for. Our paella was very good. There were a few pieces of rice that were still crunchy but other than that pretty good. I also ordered a spritzer and really enjoyed it. read more

Great place to try if your looking for something other than the usual Tex mex. they have a great variety of yummy food and the service was excellent. The atmosphere is also fun and trendy. Hard to find places like this in San Antonio! For happy hour, a pitcher of sangria was only $15 Ordered the paella with shrimp and chicken and that was Cooked to perfection. Also got the small appetizers on the happy hour menu which were all scrumptious! Make sure you try the lime hot sauce bc it's money!! Will be going back to this place to try some more of the menu items for sure. read more

Very authentic and great wine selection for tapas. We sat outside and enjoyed a meal with background music that was really nice. The staff was always courteous and very helpful. The paella's are just enough food to fill up two people for sure. The tapas were all great. My least favorite were the patatas bravas. Favorite was the tabla de carnicos. Jamón serrano , salchichón and chorizo were classi and very good. Cheeses were great as well. read more

We loved the coffee shop that used to be in this location, so we were a bit sad to see it go, but Toro is a great replacement! We stopped by on a Sunday, so they were having specials during the afternoon. I think this included their sangrias, so we got a pitcher! It was really yummy and refreshing! We didn't try their paella which is a big portion of their menu, but we did try a few of their tapas and a cheese board. The cheese board was pretty good with plenty of Spanish cheeses. The tapas were hit or miss. We tried the Croquetas de Jamón Serrano, and they were probably our favorite, but the fideo can definitely be skipped. I've seen lots of good things about their fries so I'd like to try those next time! (They don't call them fries :) I just can't remember what they are called.) The prices were a bit high for some of the items, but if you go, try their specialties and skip some of the other menu items for the best value. read more

Enjoyable evening with some tapas and wine. The staff was very friendly and made us laugh. The food was amazing the only downfall was that our paella was a little burnt on the bottom. Everything else made up for it! We ordered a bottle of wine and the waiter was sure to refill my glass when he saw it getting low. Water was constantly refilled and I loved that. I hate having to ask for more water. We will definitely be back because my husband wants to try the fried rabbit! I would definitely recommend this place to my friends. read more

Great place to meet friends. Good drinks, great paella, don't try to get anything better. It is worth the trip. Be sure you make reservations. It is always full. read more

Delicious! Great bartender, Adrian. Really cozy and lovely environment! Great for a date or dInner with a friend. Nice place

Be careful, the prices on the menu are not the actual prices. When the bill arrived everything was more expensive. They are robbing people and they know about it since the waiter said let me take care of it after I complained and he gave me 10% discount which brought the check back to the menu prices. Never coming back but the food was good! read more

Perfect first time there, awesome service by our server Enrique and the food was terrific. If you're looking for a new place for date night, Toro's is the place you want to be!!! read more

From the tapas to the decor it was such a wonderful dinner! Felt like I was in Spain again. The Tortilla Española and Paella was just like mom makes it. I was so excited to see boquerones on the menu. One suggestion from this Española...please offer una barra de pan (bar of bread/baguette). It's a staple at every meal. Commonly said in Spain, "Si no hay pan, no hay comida." read more

It was a perfect night for outdoor seating, food was fresh and tasty. The sangria was sweetened to perfection. The staff was friendly and attentive. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

I went the second time this weekend for a birthday to this restaurant, but was like the first time. The paella that I order is just rice 2 shrimps and some calamaris, that's it, for the price it is so poor. I don't recommend this place! read more

TLDR: I love Toro! My hubby and I come here at least once a week and we try to attend as many of Chef's special dinners as possible. The tapas are fantastic, the paella is really yummy and their wines are tasty and reasonably priced! Behind the bar, you'll find Jaime serving up drinks, Ricky will be roaming around greeting customers and Chef Bazon often makes appearances to get feedback from the guests about the food. It's really like a big family there. And if you're lucky, you might even see the owner, Gerardo (but he's busy opening their second location downtown so don't be surprised if he's. It there.) read more

We went on a rainy day and at an odd hour, like 3:50pm, so it wasn't crowded, which we loved. The place is super cute, super Spanish, looks very authentic. We ordered 2 tapas: croquetas de jamon serrano and piquillos rellenos. NO question there, the croquetas were the best ones! Amazing! Then for the entree we ordered a seasonal paella that to be completed honest I don't remember which one it was, but it was GREAT too. So, we're guessing from our experience you can't really go wrong with anything here. We'll be back for sure! read more

The food is amazing. I have come time after time to get the Paella, torejjas and fried goat cheese with honey caramelized onions. I highly recommend this restaurant. The chef is a fellow Spaniard that knows her away around the kitchen. read more

Came here on Thursday night with a friend from Houston! She came the night before and said I wouldn't mind coming back here when we talked about Dinner. Her now deceased husband (RIP) was originally from Spain and he was an amazing cook. She said that the paella at at Toros was better than his. So of course we had to go. When my son and I arrived she was enjoying some tapas of calamari. We joined in and had some of those delicious morsels. Yummy. We ordered more tapas. The first one up was the croquettes and then the little mini tacos. Wow. Love them. My drink was a delightful gin drink from their well selected and created menu of drinks. Took a pic, it was Lychee gin martini. Main dish was the paella a small one and the palomillo steak. Both very tasty. We will be back to this place. Yummy! read more

Food is great, service was good, sangria was delicious, just not a lot of vegetarian options but not surprising

We just left Toro, this wS our second visit, a first visit for friends. Weobrd everything! From the Cava Rose tp all the Tapas!! We had great service from Curtis H. We will definitely come back! Music also very good! Only comment/complaint, Chef Carlos came out and talked to 1 table! If he was smart he'd take a minute and talk to every table! He's the chef at 2 restaurants, he should want our business and want to make sure we enjoyed our meal! read more

Good happy our prices. The sangria was a little sweet but still pretty good. Our waiter was very nice and I liked the atmosphere of the place. The best tapas were the happy hour ones though. No need to buy the ones on the regular menu if you're there during happy hour. read more

Small and limited service but good product!. Good selection and Como anti in on the rolls

Nothing special...I would say average at best. Very light on the protein/rice ratio compared to my favorites.

Pretty good food and service. We ordered several tapas and they all had good flavor and freshness

Great atmosphere! And fantastic service. Lived in southern Spain for a year and it took us right back! Staff walked through the specials, described some unfamiliar dishes and was attentive without hovering. read more

Food was excellent. The paella is classic Spanish cuisine for everyone to share as group, then a large variety of Tapas to satisfy individual cravings. Great selection of bar drinks. Then a DJ that played Spanish music added a to great atmosphere. We had a great time with old friends. read more

This is the spot! Romantic, Euro-style with live music, great ambiance. Jose the mixologist was extraordinaire! read more

Drinks were good. Paella was very dry. I was disappointed. Ambience was Nice. I'm sure I will be back to try again.

Came here with my boyfriend for a Saturday date night dinner. My boyfriend accidentally made reservations for the downtown location, so when we arrived we realized that, but the host was very accommodating and got us a table immediately- we were very grateful for that. It was my boyfriend's second time here and my first. The atmosphere is very cute with the outdoor seating and live music. The inside seating seemed cramped. Service was good and food was good. We had the Toro Paella which we thoroughly enjoyed. We also had the Mejillones al Vino, which were the mussels in a kind of not so flavorful runny sauce. We also had the Ceviche de Pulpo which was nice and spicy and delicious. For drinks, I had the white sangria that was way too sweet. My boyfriend had the Torres Paloma that he liked. We would definitely come back again for future date nights and to try more dishes! read more

This was 5 star for us on all levels. The service was exceptional. The food and sangria amazing!! The atmosphere both indoors and outdoors fabulous!! We will return for more delicious tapas and paella. read more

Stopped by for late lunch. Their menu is fairly small and it would be fine but it's a bit eclectic. BBQ baguette with fries (can order a salad instead) ? Cochinita pibil tacos? In a tapas restaurant? Not common. I noticed that some pics on Yelp have 3 tacos to the plate (for the pibil) and we only got 2. Our only true tapa was the stuffed peppers (I always forget are cold/room temp) were not very flavorful. Sangria was on the sweet side and did not have any fruit and they did not have Spanish beer on draft (3 draft lines- modelo, Stella, and one other). The restaurant itself is pretty cool but it's fairly expensive for the amount of food that you get- and although it's typical for tapas to be on the higher price point not sure is we are quite there yet. That was our experience- what is yours? read more

This restaurant was amazing. I had heard good things about this founder's restaurants and he did not disappoint. The authentic taste and quality of the Spanish food was the best I had ever had since eating in Palma Mallorca. The food was unique to Spain but authentic in that the food was over powering in imported spices. I enjoyed the experience and the staff was terrific. I'll be returning for sure! read more

Pretty disappointed in the meal that I had. Friend and I came here for lunch and the meal that we had was below average. When we asked if we could have something removed from our meals, we were told that the food were 'pre-made' which had me questioning the freshness/quality of our food. We received our plates and weren't satisfied. Outside of that our waitress was excellent along with the Host. Will not return for lunch again. read more

Always a great spot to eat. It never fails to deliver! Their tapas are amazingly delish!
