    Interesting menu. This visit kept it to appetizers, guacamole, and margaritas. All was good.

    Cocktails, appetizers, main course and dessert were exceptional . I thought the noise level was high even though the restaurant was not packed when we were there . Maybe the high ceilings or mostly concrete construction made noise travel through. I highly recommend. Our waiter Sebastian was great !!

    Such a delight! We chose Toro out of the blue while overnight in Dania Beach awaiting our cruise on Easter Day. The ambiance is unique and elegantly supports the theme that “toro” suggests. The tequila cocktails we ordered were fantastic - though be prepared for the heat of the habeñero tequila! Both our app and our main dishes were scrumptious - fresh and very delicious. We’ll definitely return to enjoy more Toro!
    Toro by Chef Richard SandovalResponded on 30 April 2025
    Hi Robert! Thank you so much for your glowing review. We are so thrilled to hear that you chose Toro for your Easter Day dinner and that we could provide a unique and memorable experience before your cruise. We’re glad you enjoyed the ambiance and theme, as well as our selection of tequila cocktails (habeñero tequila definitely brings the heat!). We look forward to welcoming you back to Toro for another delightful dining experience soon. Safe travels, and thank you again for your kind words!

    This was a great pick for my niece 30th birthday party! Everyone enjoyed the atmosphere and our server/ bartender/ educator of all things tequila, DANNY! He was very knowledgeable and attentive. He appreciated his great hospitality and will definitely be back soon ! Even if it’s just to stop in to say hi to Danny and Christian .

    The whole experience from start to finish was amazing, the food and drinks were great. The only issue I have is that unless you know where you are going then it’s very hard to find as not really sign posted that well at all from the outside.

    We were really excited to try this place as lovers of mezcal and tequila. We made a reservation and were not greeted for a good 5 minutes when we arrived. Eventually a server asked us if we’d been helped, and proceeded to find our reservation. She SENT us to the library where the bartender looked at us like we were crazy for walking in… he was very confused. And so were we. He told us we could sit wherever and then we waited for a server but no one showed up. It was a really weird experience honestly. Eventually we just got up and walked out. Maybe they were understaffed? Regardless, terrible service and not what you expect from a high end restaurant on date night. Also the parking was self-service but paid…if you actually value good top to bottom service, take your money elsewhere.
