Pam Davis: Everything we tried was excellent (4 meals over 6 days) Their signature cocktails are great!
Eater: For a good deal, stop by Toro Toro for the Bottomless Brunch. $35 buys you unlimited small plates and free flowing brunch cocktails galore. Now that’s how you start the day.
Miami New Times: Best of Miami 2013- Best Arepa: Toro Toro. Served without filling, these arepas come with the filling ontop, a pleasant surprise which also calls for the use of a fork and knife. Read more.
Vanessa: Lasagna Carolina is AWESOME!
Doug H.: That was the second time I ate there and the last, meatballs were terrible, the bread came out burned and so hard you could chip a tooth, and my gnocchi with pesto and chicken came out without chicken
