- SShariHouston •2 reviews5.0Dined on Aug 30, 2024Everything here was incredible. The staff was very friendly, informative, and it was evident that they are impeccably trained. I went with friends to celebrate my birthday and decided to eat from the Houston Restaurant Weeks menu. I had the Peruvian Ceviche, Kurobuta Pork Chop, and Housemade Churros. They were all soooo delicious! They also brought out a Corn Cake, for my birthday, which was so kind of them. I would 100% go back again.More infoToro ToroPrice: Moderate• Steakhouse• Downtown•4.6
