"In a brick-walled room in the South End, chef Ken Oringer offers inexpensive and delectable Spanish food"
-The Go List, Food and Wine Magazine

"They don’t take reservations, and the place is always jammed, but it's worth the wait at Toro, the South End tapas bar from Ken Oringer. The menu changes frequently, but you can expect offerings such as… beef tongue and lentils; marinated oysters escabeche and an excellent paella"
-Gourmet Magazine

"Toro is a Barcelona-inspired tapas restaurant that is hopping. The interior is simple and modern with white-washed brick walls and large mirrors. The high bar stools at the communal table are the best seats to take in the action as you drink ... caipirinhas with caramelized limes."
-The New York Times

"... Sit tight and you can dig into the classic paella, a big copper pot of saffron rice mixed with fat shrimp, juicy clams, mussels, and bits of chicken."
-Esquire Magazine

"... chef Ken Oringer has set Boston ablaze with his casual Spanish restaurant, Toro, and it's not-so-traditional tapas menu. The tiny bites include citrus-infused yellowfin tuna, foie gras with pear-and-bacon chutney, and a mean jamón serrano."
-Budget Travel Magazine

"Ken Oringer launched this brick-walled tapas bar, with a fireplace and long communal table. The items on the chalkboard menu - braised veal cheeks with prunes, chickpea and chorizo stew, paella – will make you think you're in Barcelona. Go early to get a table."
-The Oprah Magazine

"The hype, for once, is justified: Ken Oringer’s taberna not only out classes its Boston competition, but would stand proud among the top eateries in Barcelona."
-Boston Magazine

"Technically, you're not meant to drink the warm, gooey, slightly spicy chocolate that comes with the churros at Toro. But you can most certainly dunk those doughnuts – and we've been known to scoop up the leftover chocolate with our fingers."
