What an amazing experience!!!! My girls and I originally wanted to try another restaurant in the area. Toro Toro had great reviews so we decided to give it a try. Did. Not . Disappoint!!!! Be sure to ask for Yassine! Great customer service, very knowledgeable about the menu, and so so so personable. We truly enjoyed ourselves! Until next time, Yassine, job well done! The food is amazing! I ordered the Ribeye. Cooked to perfection! Such an amazing dinner and experience. read more

"The moment you walk into the restaurant from the hotel lobby a warm welcome already awaits you. Our server Nelson made an awesome recommendation for appetizer, the "chicharonnes de camarones" Make sure you try the Chilean Sea Bass. The sweet sauce was awesome and the fish was cooked to perfection! Having an understanding of how restaurant service works, the staff working together as a team was a joy to watch. The manager Carlos was a "hands on manager". He was walking around the floor and actually helping out his crew and not just the usual walking around asking if everything was ok like what you see in other busy restaurants. Make sure you leave room for dessert. The "La Bomba" dessert is out of this world!!" read more

Absolutely exquisite! The skirt steak was the best one I've had! The service was even better than the food! Our waiter Orlando was graceful, funny and very kind. I tried a blood orange moscow mule which instantly became my favorite. Highly recommend this restaurant! Also... try the Chicharron de Camarones. You won't regret it. read more

The dinner was great and the service was phenomenal. Love this place and will definitely be back multiple times.

Delicious food and amazing service! Yassine was outstanding, made the experience all the better. We will definitely be returning for brunch.

So glad we picked this spot for date night, great dark ambiance with the right music at the right volume. It's a fancy restaurant in a fancy hotel so definitely wanna go dressed the part. Now the food, delicious! We ordered the lomo saltado empanadas, a must & for our shareable entree we got the churrasco platter which brings steak, pork & shrimp with 2 sides, definitely recommend the mashed potatoes & Mac and cheese. The cocktails were also delicious & a heavy pour, get the spicy bring the heat or if you want something sweet get the Florita de alma. Also we had exceptional service by our waiter. Unfortunately forgot his name, but 100% recommend & we will be back. read more

I placed this review on OpenTable, but I use Yelp more so here it is fellow yelpers, and if I'm going out of my way to write a review then that's how you know because I hardly ever do: Ok, so this might have been our fault because we had somewhat late resos, to which we thought the place would be popping since they we had 9 o'clock resos. We were sat and there was only 4 parties (should have been the first sign). We ordered empanadas and the octopus, empanadas were cold and the guacamole on the bed was brown already, the octopus was rubbery and not well cooked (the green salsa saved it). We then place our wood grill steak order with sides of Mexican style corn and charred Brussels sprouts. As we were waiting for our entrees one of the floor servers comes by and asks if we would like to see the desert menu or have an espresso. Uhhhhh we are still waiting for our entrees. He says sorry and says he'll check on our items. Meanwhile we're waiting our server at the beginning, Jahaira has not even bothered to check on us at all, she was only an order taker tsk tsk, Or the other server assistant Orlando. Finally our entrees arrive and although the steak was juicy, it was soooooo overly salted. My mouth was dry at the end because of how god damn salty it was. I understand the point of seasoning but they over did it. My tongue became raw because of it. Plus the charred Brussels sprouts didn't help since they were super salted and extra charred. The elote was more lime than anything. Just a horrible experience. Also will like to point out how If you ask for a Cabernet she will charge you for something different that is the highest price per glass. This is my fault since I should have specified which of the 2 I wanted, which I knew wasn't the type she rang it under. Anyways once we were done we asked for the check right away and left, total was $200 we would have tipped extra on top if there was actual service to tip on but nope. And we weren't the last table out neither!! If you read this thank you. There are much way better restaurants out there. read more

I had a great experience at Toro Toro. First, I would like to say that our waitress was wonderful. I can't remember her name but she spent quite a bit of time with us and gave us suggestions for seeing downtown Miami. The food was also really excellent. My Mom and I split several dishes, but my fav was the short ribs. The pickled red onion on top gave it a great savory/sweet/sour combo. For dessert, we got the not the apple pie thing (see pic). We did not quite understand how much of not apple pie it was. Really, it was a large round globe of vanilla mousse covered in green apple glaze. It was still very yummy. Price was a little high but I would still recommend, especially for a special occasion. read more

My husband and I came for Miami spice to try something new out. We loved that it was in the intercontinental hotel because we had never been. The hotel was very inviting and Toro Toro was nestled right as you walk in. The service was great and the food was amazing! The highlight of the night was the bomba! It was a delicious and looks great that was very unique. read more

One of the best happy hours in town; it's extended to 9 pm for 305 & 954 locals only in bar area. We ordered the Korean Chicken wings, Calamari, Shrimp and Swordfish Dip with Plantain chips. The bites range from $5-$6 bucks and our cocktails were $7. read more

I called on the 3rd of November to make a reservation for the 15th( I did not know they weren't open on Sundays). So in my call they took my name down and phone number and once again confirmed 11/15/2020 at 7pm as we discussed, my reservation was made this would be my first time going to this restaurant after two friends recommended that I spend my one year anniversary of marriage here. My husband and I show up to the restaurant and was met with an empty and quiet restaurant, I was able to flag down someone who worked there and explained what had happened. Said person took my name down and my phone number and told me that I would be contacted by a manager, it's Friday now and this happened on Sunday, still no call. read more

The Bad: It is interestingly located in the lobby of the Intercontinental hotel. This means there are tourists loitering with their luggage checking in and out of the hotel, waiting for their cab and naturally eating at the restaurant full fledged Miami touristy outfits. There is loud-ish house music playing from somewhere too. I thought all of this took so much away from a restaurant that can and should stand on its own. The Good: We had decided to come here on a whim for Miami Spice. However, they have the Toro-Toro special that is shared and it comes out to a far better deal than Miami Spice. We got two tapas: The swordfish dip with plantain chips which was very good and the Short Rib arepas which was the star for me. The Toro-Toro brings an assortment of chicken, lamb, chorizo and steak and it gets carved table-side. It also brings two sides, which we chose the loaded smash potatoes and fried brussels. Honestly, the food was excellent. Everything was delicious but we would definitely come back for just tapas and drinks. Their strength is definitely the tapas as their menu is extensive and they are huge! Drinks tasted good too! We got the Heart and Sol. Everything blended well: the decor, tableware, drinks and food. We weren't done eating and were already talking about when we'd be back! Our waitress was great and bonus: bilingual, which I thought was refreshing to ask if we'd prefer English or Spanish. This restaurant should move out of the hotel and be on it's own! Still gave five stars because the only thing I didn't like was purely shallow and aesthetic and does not reflect on the restaurant food and service itself. read more

Very overpriced. Food quality was average for its price, environment and service. We started with short rib and bone marrow as starter. Drink was two sparkling wine which were ok. They were great and nothing to complain. Main course: 14oz rib eye steak ($68) with Broussel sprout, and red snapper fried rice ($54). The steak was cooked to desired temperature, medium rare. 60% were simply fat, not actual meat. The side dish, the broussel spout was very salty that we couldn't eat, tasted like more than 10g was poured in to that little bowl. The fried rice from the red snapper dish was great. The piece of deep fried fish was so hard as hard candy. Overall, the bill included 18% service charge, which is appropriate, plus $32 two sparkling wine came up to $250s for a two-person meal. I got better service, quiet environment (in this case very loud), more tasty food for same or slightly lower price at higher class restaurant - eg Chef table on Royal Carribean, Print in NYC, and Westin in LA. For here, I would say overpriced and overrated. read more

I ordered a prime ribeye and my friend ordered the skirt steak with side dishes of brussel sprouts and beet salad. We had to wait almost an hour for the food to arrive. I have to mention that the restaurant was not that busy so I'm not sure why it took so long. My steak was cooked as requested, medium rare; however, my friend's steak was not as requested, well done, but was burnt. He wanted to have it taken back, but didn't want to wait another 45 minutes. The dessert was what saved the meal - the El Havano was amazing! It was in the shape of a Cuban cigar and was one of the best desserts I've ever had! In summary, I think that the meal was so-so and not worth the price of almost $200. read more

OMG what an amazing experience. We came for the Saturday Mexican buffet special. Now don't get me wrong I'm NOT a fan of buffet...but the ToroToro Saturday buffet kicks all other buffets in the booty. You got quesadillas, 4 diff Mexican salad, sour cream, about 10 different types of cheeses, grilled vegetables, rice, beans, steak, chicken, pork, and unlimited chellas! YASSSS Hun I said chellas (beer) all Mexican beer is unlimited from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. oh and unlimited desserts! The staff is great, the food is tasty and kids 6 and under eat free at the Mexican buffet. Will be back read more

My husband and I came on Saturday 8/7. We made reservations via open table for 8:30 PM. We arrived about 8:34. The hostess tells us that the "kitchen has prevented them from seating more guests temporarily and it'll be a 20 minute wait". Okay fine. We decide to wait the 20 minutes. Thirty minutes later my husband asks her how much longer, that we had already waited 30 minutes and she says 5 more minutes. At this point she is seating various parties around us, including a couple that arrived AFTER we did. As my husband starts to call other establishments they finally tell us they are ready for us almost 50 minutes after our arrival time. I gave the establishment 2 stars because we were seated at a great booth table and our waiter was very attentive. The food was tasty as well. The front of house staff sets the tone for a clients experience and sadly we were extremely turned off by being strung along with a wait time. Should've either been honest about the wait time or came over and let us know it would wind up being longer that they expected. Disappointing. read more

The service was great, ambiance as well. Over all the experience wasn't bad at all. The quality of the food, on the other hand wasn't quite what I expected. We ordered the guacamole, Toro Toro skewer plate for 2, Brussels sprouts, Mac n cheese, and truffle fries. No dish stood out. Maybe I was expecting too much because of the type of restaurant and positive reviews read but it wasn't the case. The Bomba and the drinks were really god though. I had two Florita Del Alma, partner had a Guaipirinha and a Florita Del Alma, we did enjoy those:) read more

I really liked everything in this place. We went for the Miami Spice '17 menu and loved it so much, we are going to return. Everything from their cheese bread with tomatoes, to their dessert was amazing. I don't like that it's in the Intercontinental Hotel, but once you sit inside the restaurant, you can't tell. read more

I love the feeling I get when I'm here. The food is spectacular and the decor is very rustic. I love the huge bull horns hanging from the ceiling! It makes you feel like you're truly in a steakhouse. The food is excellent and so is the service. Definitely worth checking out and it's located in our gorgeous downtown area. There's a bunch of cool places close by you can walk to and enjoy the rest of your night. read more

I had gone twice for brunch and I loved it! So, I decided to go for dinner on my Birthday, I had the worth experience. We waited 40 minutes just for water. Service was slow at best, when we finally got our food, my plate was cold and my friend's steak was overly done, even after stressing how we wanted the steak medium well. To say I was disappointed is an understatement. read more

This place is very good, however the food takes too long to arrive. The price is fair. Best plate in the restaurant is "the bomb". It's a desert that you need to try. 40 ministers for the food to arrive and 30 minutes for the desert. I give it a 3. read more

Disappointed in the overall experience. Reviews were amazing so decided to check this place out. Advertise a happy hour, but not so much. La Bomba (Dessert) was really good, everything else was ok. read more

After hearing a lot about this restaurant my husband and I went there late December last year and had the time of our life. We had an heavenly dinner which I cannot do enough justice by words and pictures but will try my best. They traditionally start you will bread but we chose to skip that. We had chicharrones aka tempura shrimp first which was mind blowing, the shrimp was fresh and melted in the mouth. The chimichurri and the mustard ranch went very well with the fried shrimp. Then we had the beef arepa bites which were soft and delicious. Then we had the fried octopus which we were a little skeptical about but we were blown off our seats with. The octopus was extremely soft and the fried sweet potatoes were fantastic. The star of the meal was definitely the Chipotle miso Chilean sea bass, the fish was extremely flaky and soft. The broth was flavorful and went great with the white fish. Definitely going to go back for the fish! We also had the 30 day aged prime NY strip which is definitely worth a try. They have halal steaks out there so better ask the staff if you a looking for halal options. To conclude the meal we had the very famous la bomba which was hard to eat because we had already stuffed ourselves with so much food. In all it was a great experience and we cannot thank Chef Ian enough for the divine experience and the staff especially our server Isabell for her service. Super excited to go back there! read more

I can't speak for the tapas but the steak was amazing. It was delicious and cooked perfectly. Only complaint is our waitress forgot about us a tad and she added gratuity of 18% which when I worked in a restaurant was only for groups. Anytime someone does that I feel awkward and don't want to tip my normal 20% then. read more

The restaurant is over priced for the type of food. The quality and amount of food was not worth the price paid. The atmosphere was too loud. The loud music is not for a restaurant. The restaurant played music so loud you could not carry a conversation with anyone. I was not impressed at all. I will never go there for dinner again. read more

This place is amazing. We had the nicest waitress, she had a great smile and was very friendly and made great recommendations. From the appetizer to the main course every thing we ate was so so good. And the desert well delicious, three scoops of ice cream inside a hard chocolate shell with fresh berrieS and covered with syrup , this is a must . read more

Located inside the Intercontinental Hotel in Downtown Miami, Toro Toro offers an excellent array of Tapas. Ordering many Tapas as opposed to just a few entrees allowed us to sample a much greater variety of their uniquely flavored dishes. Mojitos were great too, as was the atmosphere, waitress, music, etc... an enjoyable experience! read more

Ate here while staying at Intercontinental Hotel. Team is seasoned but is not attentive to customer needs. Calamari was not cooked correctly. Old Fashion drink was average. It is an average restaurant for the high dollar it charges. read more

I only came here for happy hour, but the half priced appetizers were completely worth it! Not only do you experience an expensive restaurant without having to sacrifice your wallet, but the food is absolutely delicious. We had the Korean style wings, the calamari, and the crab dip with plantain chips. Food so good you'll just want to keep ordering. The staff/bartenders were all amazing as well! read more

If you ever get a hankering to drink in a grand hotel lobby and watch business-types gush over their daily happenings, then check out Toro Toro's bar. This review speaks to only the bar and tapas. As an incentive to locals, Toro Toro offers an extended happy hour all week on beer, cocktails, and wine from 4-9PM. Small plates (emphasis on small) are on happy hour through 7PM. If I were a traveling business type staying at the Intercontinental for work, then this bar would be perfect for a few drinks and to participate in one of the marquee day-specials like Unlimited Taco Saturday, Ladies Night, and Bottomless Sunday Brunch. If work was also comping food, I would definitely plate up for some larger dishes which run between $20-$50. If you're not afraid of spending a little money, Toro Toro can be a compelling space to eat and drink and enjoy the hustle of a downtown Miami hotel. It's not in my regular rotation of Miami spots, but I'm sure I'll stop by again for discounted drinks and a unique downtown scene. read more

Our first time in Miami and we chose Toro Toro located in the Intercontinental Miami for dinner. Our meal was fantastic! We shared the NY strip, Lamb chops, asparagus & broccolini and truffle fries...AMAZING! And our server, Olivia, was not only knowledgeable about everything on the menu, including a fantastic Tempranillo wine suggestion, but also took the time to help map out some places to see in Miami over the next couple days. I highly recommend Toro Toro and hopefully you get Olivia as your server read more

Went to enjoy a plentiful Sunday brunch, the food was delicious and they had an excellent variety. The drinks flowed freely with bloody Mary's and Mimosas as the choices. The atmosphere was great, they had a DJ, the music was perfect not too loud which was great and we were able to carry on a conversation. I must say the service has been the best I've received in a long long time! Our sever was Marco and he was professional, attentive and on top of everything he definitely heightened the experience. read more

I went there twice and in very different condition.... First time a tapas diner with some friends.... Good surprise food was good, surprising, simple. I loved it. The price were reasonable in my opinion for what we got. Second time a lunch I choose the buffet at $25 AND NO SO GOOD. Couple things were good but it was nothing exceptional for what they offer u at the buffet I feel it is way too expensive. The restaurant in itself is nice and the employee very friendly. read more
