    First time dining experience on Christmas Eve 2024. Absolutely phenominal from start to finish! We picked our table from what was available even! What a nice touch?! Our cocktails exhibited a perfect mixologist expertise and brought promptly to our table. We started with the calamari and shrimp and the arancini appetizers which were delicious, followed by our entrees, the salmon over spaghetti squash and fettucine alfredo. Everything tasted amazing with exact seasoning, temperature and presentation. We were quite blown away by the whole experience in the restaurant. We took home our desserts and weren't as excited about them, however, we will definitely be back for another date of dining in the near future!

    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!!
