    An outstanding visit. We four diners were greeted at the hostess desk by friendly, courteous staff. We were escorted to our table, and within a short time we were greeted by our server Roger. He was very pleasant, and knowledgeable. Our meals were well presented and tasty. The noise level was fine, we could talk quite easily. There was entertainment by a talented flamenco dancer. Everyone participated with handclapping, and we all joined in on the random birthday celebrations taking place during our visit. We all had a wonderful time. Tableside service was excellent. Tapas Toros definitely is on our calendar for a return visit. Well done!

    Not a real Spanish restaurant, but savory tapas with good portions, and great prices for the area. Excellent libations with great list of whiskeys, vodkas, tequilas, and Spanish wines. Thanks Bear and Arturo, great bartenders for making the experience a great one. Bin summary a good place to meet with friends and families. Lots to do for kids right outside the door.

    I took my wife of 1 year here for thanksgiving due to booking late and it was the best option as I was working until 6pm on V day. However, the valet was near perfect and lead the way to Tapo Toro, the entrance was on the other side, there were small and kind of non visual signs and I learned the hard way as I almost busted my behind on a slab of 2x2 plywood in the outside area lol. Anyhow, we had a 9:30pm reservation but still had to wait in line until 9:35pm but was a drag because we arrived 15 mins early as was in the reservation demands, the hostess was stressed out but as nice as she can be; we finally got seated and caught the tail end of the flamenco dancing then a loud table of like 10 desperate men acting like they owned it plus took the complete attention as we ordered drinks and made our order 1 min after then we got our food and didn’t see her for at least 45 mins! The food was worth it and the dessert was decent in the 3-4 course valentine special. I finally saw her and asked for the bill and her psychology and improv of doing a great job at the end was hilarious 😆 they took there 19% gratuity and I only added $5 extra to make it like 22% but she would have gotten at least an extra 25 if she would have been at least average. I don’t know if I’ll ever want to come back as Orlando is a super goody city. They have a nice place with sooo much potential but need to learn to keep a good attitude and energy towards patrons even though they’re hungover and just received a crappy tip and not get weary on the rest.

    We had the tomato paste toast, ceviche, lamb chops, cocktails, a sangria flight, and the chicken & lamb paella. It was all so good, the ceviche was soo refreshing and tasty. The paella was rich in protein, each item seasoned perfectly so we could enjoy it all together or by itself. There was live entertainment which we only got glimpses of from our location but sounded very lively. Drinks were good and strong, we will definitely dine again.

    Alberto was our server. He was very rude towards my girlfriend, not letting her order for herself or allowing us time to even finish our order. I ordered my drink and he assumed that it was for the both of us automatically without asking what she wanted. The whole process of eating here felt rushed because of him. The food was amazing.

    Almost 30 minutes for a non frozen pina colada? Response: Yes because we have only 1 bartender. But the GM is the DJ of the evening? Walked out and there was 3 people behind bar….leave that there for those that understand.

    The food was fantastic. Our server was great. The only downside was the tables were too close together and we were expecting more of a show. We picked the 7pm show (didn't start until 735) and only lasted maybe 5-10 min. But she was great too.

    Tapa ToroResponded on January 12, 2023We will definitely look into the table situation! We are sorry to hear the show was too short. Some of our dancers do perform longer than others. It is always up to that individual dancer.

    Service by Christopher was awesome, the only 5 star of the night. Food was late coming out , cold and even mash potatoes were burnt. Got no champagne glass for the toast and entertainment was non existent. We had celebrated NYE there two years ago and it was why we return cause it was great. I guess this time around the focus was on getting as much people packed in and not caring of the quality of service. Will not attend again!

    Tapa ToroResponded on January 12, 2023We are so sorry to hear this. We will certainly look back at how we held the party a couple years ago and work to improve the event for next year.

    Upon arrival the high chair requested was not at the table, and had to ask twice for it while I held my baby. The chairs in the patio were very uncomfortable. The server did her best with servicing our table but with no help for such a big party it led to drinks arriving late, and food also being served very disorganized. The lobster was over cooked and the steak just came rare (not my preference). The performance was sporadic. Overall the not worth the cost of the event.

    Tapa ToroResponded on January 12, 2023We are very sorry to hear this! It certainly does not sound up to our standard. We will take this feedback to improve on the New Years Eve event for next year.

    It was like a any other ordinary dinner expericie with Flamenco in Tapa y Toro. They should plan a better experience for New Year Eve to make it memorable and valuable. Thet should have a host, add emotion to the the last 5 seconds of the year, a DJ playing better music...at the end of the day it was nothing really special.

    Tapa ToroResponded on January 12, 2023We are very sorry to hear you felt this way about our New Year's Eve party, Alex. We will definitely take this information into account for next years event.

    Book a table of 8 people for the New Years Eve dinner party, it was disorganized and waiter only had 3 tables but looks like it was his first time serving tables. Drinks, appetizers and food was on point at other tables except for our table. We had to go to the bar like 3 times to get drinks as it was taking less time. Main course was filet and lobster tail which was brought to our table around 11:30pm (the steak was medium rare cook, which it was good for me but not everyone eats their steak medium rare) the mashed potatoes had burned taste. It was 11:50pm and every table had their “champagne” and glasses for the midnight toast except for us, we had to look for our waiter again and ask for it, glasses came seconds before ringing the New Year. After expending over $120 per person plus drinks not worth it.

    Tapa ToroResponded on January 12, 2023We are so sorry to hear that this was your experience at our New Years Eve party! We will definitely take this back to our staff and improve next year.
