This was my first time there and it was a really great experience. From our amazing sever, David to the food & drinks and then to the show. Everything was just great. The skirt steak I had was definitely one of the best with how tender and well seasoned it was. Definitely highly recommend visiting this restaurant at least once.

The show started 20 minutes early so we almost missed it. Portion sizes of tapas are ALL over the place. Some you get a tiny amount and others are full-size app portions. We WAY over ordered and wasted a ton of food as a result. Need to use a more modern way to collect tips for the dancers. No one carries cash any more. Also, it would be nice if dancers could move around the restaurant some instead of just stationary on a square box.
Tapa ToroResponded on November 15, 2022We apologize for the mix up in time. Yes, some tapas are indeed bigger than others. But anyone can always feel free to ask our servers about portion sizes, as they are very knowledgeable of the menu. The dancers do move around the restaurant at certain points in the show, but if there are not that many people they will stay on one side of the restaurant.

We were a group of six at dinner and each couple ordered 3-4 appetizers plus a main course to share. The waiter stopped by and informed us that our mains would probably arrive before our appetizer which we were not happy with. As it turned out everything arrived at almost the same time which didn’t allow time to really enjoy each dish. As appetizers we ordered the mussels, croquettes, beet salad and a charcuterie board. Our favorites were the beet salad and the croquettes. As a main we shared a seafood paella which was just ok. Would I return, nah!
Tapa ToroResponded on November 10, 2022We are definitely sorry to hear that the timing of the food was not correct. We have taken this feedback to our team to make sure they schedule arrival times correctly.

This is a low brow restaurant with no understanding of what tapas means. The quality of the food was poor, putting out big portions is no excuse to avoid quality. The squid was so bad that we had to send it back; I am sure that it was at least two days old. A Caesar Salad does not have mixed leaves: it is made with Romain Lettuce and has shavings of Parmesan not shredded cheese. Will never go back.

Rated ambience as 3 stars due to excessively loud music which is not conducive for family or even date night. Highly recommend they lower the volume of the music. On the hand flamenco show was enjoyable and family friendly. The server was attentive and pleasant. Sampled the ceviche and lamb sliders and would order them again. If you like heat in your ceviche ask they add jalapeños.

We had dinner with a large party. The restaurant was pretty dead (Monday night), but the food and bar service was slow. Some of the menu is tapas, and some entree meals. Nothing was timed. Many of us were done eating before the paella entrees came out. Sangria flight was very disappointing. Some of the food was flavorless including beet salad and Brussels sprouts. Paella was just ok. Salmon wasn't pink in color. Skirt steak with chimichurri was good. All desserts were good. Overall, just disappointing. Won't go back.

Our shrimp and fish ceviche were outstanding. My in-laws enjoyed their respective Salmon dishes. My wife enjoyed her seafood paella. I was delighted with my lean skirt steak. I also enjoyed the best ever 3 leches dessert. My mother-in-law and my wife got the churros for dessert. We agreed it needs lots of improvement. The Flamenco Dancers were good but oddly some of the accompanying music was not genuine Palos.

Overall, good experience as it was my first time dining there. We visited during magical dining. I expected the food to be better and the restaurant to be more crowded than what it was. Ambiance and decor was really nice and could be a great date restaurant. It gets pretty loud during the show times with the dancers. Food and service just wasn’t up to par for what looked like a slow night. Everything was served fresh and hot which I can appreciate.

Our appetizers were good - I would order them again, but they weren't over-the-top. Our churrasco was delicious, but the portion was a little light. The vegetarian paella absolutely stole the show - it was full of unique flavors and the portion was perfect. The sangria flight was not worth the cost to me - we came for magical dining and ended up spending TWICE what we should've including tax and tip. They had quality ingredients, but you should know walking into it that you could spend a lot more than you originally planned!
