We had our child’s Holy Communion celebration at Toro Tapas and everything was amazing. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the staff were incredibly kind and helpful.

They adjusted the menu to our preferences and even gave us a private room for our 24 guests, which made the event extra special. Everything was clean, well organized, and we felt very welcomed.

Highly recommend and we will definitely come back!

Response from the owner

Thanks for your lovely feedback Mirela, we are delighted to hear you had such a wonderful experience. Hope to see you again soon

A little bit of a sad experience, while the wait staff were great, the food was a huge let down. The flavour was a bit lacking and the menu has been cut down quite substantially. There is also no mention on the menu of a surcharge for the prawns and steak, the steak was a measly 4 pieces of overcooked sirloin, with 2 pieces of sourdough no butter and some chimmichurri. The chorizo tasted boiled a did not come with the type of pepper advertised and the prawns pil pil had no flavour whatsoever. We also had to order extra bread to mop up the gravy. All in all a little bit sad and unfortunately this has put us off the restaurant group.

Response from the owner

Apologies to hear of your disappointment Nicola. We will be sure to share your feedback with the kitchen team. Our Midweek Tapas Menu 3 Tapas & a Glass of House Wine €25 does feature a €3 supplement for the steak or prawns should you choose these items on the menu. Hopefully we might see you again in the future

The food was delicious, lovely choices. We know for tapas you don't expect everything at the same time so that's okay.
For food we had like 8 dishes and 2 deserts. All delicious.

We had white wine / organic - it was lovely.
We also had white sangria - delicious.

The only thing wasn't great for my partner was the tables as was a barrel and he couldn't sit comfortable. It is not suitable for everybody the table as are tall stools and you can't pull your chair under all the tables.

Staff was lovely very polite nice and lots of attention. The service was very fast and not slow like everybody mentioned in the reviews.
Like you're going to enjoy a night out slowly and not eating fast as in a take away.

I really recommend for anyone who wants to try it. It was a nice experience.
