Toro Cantina

Outstanding food. Great margaritas. Nothing but praise.

Awesome experience

Date night with my wife.. we have a 3 year old & a 10 month old. Needed a place that was romantic, but early reservations, quick service and special attention to detail.. TORO CANTINA WAS FLAWLESS IN EVERY RESPECT! TRULY OUTSTANDING

Well worth the wait on the opening of this restaurant- the service was excellent, I had the Toro burrito and it was enough for 2 meals- I wish my margarita was in a bigger glass though.

Food, Drinks and Ambiance were amazing! Definitely be back!

The food was amazing. The salsa that is brought to the table at the start is delish as well as the warm tortilla chips. The guacamole was so flavorful and I do not typically like tomatoes in my guacamole but it was perfect. Pineapple mango margarita was to die for. Our table all ordered different tacos and each enjoyed them all. The design and ambiance is perfect for date night or girls night. I can’t wait to go back!

Food was great! Loved the pork tamales. Service was good. It was a little loud and hard to hear waitstaff beneath masks, but that will not deter me from coming back.

Our table was ready before our reservation....service,cocktails,food were beyond our expectations. Definitely would recommend the guacamole amazing!!

The food was amazing!!! We ordered 4x for delivery before they were able to open bc of quarantine and were impressed but, right at the restaurant was even better. Everything from the appetizers and drinks (feugo margaritas) to the meals were spot on. Kudos Turo!

Great food and service. Nice menu selections.

Amazing ambiance. Homemade chips and salsa were amazing. The churro cart and dipping sauces are a must.

Excellent food . great atmosphere. will definitely go back

Water service was not as quick as you would have thought during dinner. Not many eating during Covid in the dining room. Our waitress was very friendly and talkative and knew the food. She recommended specific items. That is always a good thing. I would have liked the water guy to come around more often. My blue tortilla fell apart as I was trying to eat my sweet potato taco. The flavor was very good though.

Relatively new restaurant so take that into consideration. Food is rather highly priced for what you get. To be honest nothing but the guacamole had any real flavor to it. We had to ask three times for simple things like water refills and our waiter seemed to be more intent on looking “cool” than being on top of his game. Might try again at some point, but there are too many good Mexican restaurants around to spend an overpriced food. Also Mentioned we had 2 birthdays in the group, and not so much as a happy birthday.

Loved the feel of the patio. Great vibe.

Our waiter was knowledgeable and personable.

Food was ok.
I will return to try something else.
Cute place.

Birthday celebration with friends. Excellent service. Drinks were interesting and fun. Lots of great food choices. Very authentic Mexican food. Atmosphere was very clean, pleasant and well decorated.

I’ve visited twice and am going back tonight. We sat inside for dinner. Masks in place and enforced, so we were very comfortable with spacing and safety. The interior and restrooms are beautiful. Complimentary chips and salsa were brought immediately and water orders (flat free, distilled or sparkling $2 for a large refillable bottles) taken. tried the pineapple mango margarita ($11) and it was refreshing and not sweet! Corn crusted chilé rellenos ($21.95) were my entree and they may have been the best I’ve ever had! Not soggy, filled with goat cheese and accompanied by black beans and cilantro rice. The salad on the plate was a bonus and I enjoyed everything. The portion was large and I did have to take some home. Service was excellent.
Upon return for lunch we opted for outdoor seating and it too is gorgeous! A bit of noise from Wolf Road traffic, but not bad. I enjoyed the classic margarita ($8) with chips and salsa (again best salsa locally) and ordered but never received watermelon shrimp gazpacho as an appetizer, and chicken enchiladas ($17.95) for lunch. Again portion size was large, enchiladas were filled with chicken and seasoning- no fillers! They were crispy and the sauces, black beans, rice and salad on the plate were all great! When I let the server know I didn’t receive my soup, he was extremely generous, brought a bag and container for left over chips and salsa, and was extremely attentive. We would have ordered a 2nd drink, but we’re never offered that. Our service on day 2 was not nearly as attentive as the first visit, but we will return for the best tasty fresh if Mexican cuisine I’ve found in the area!

Food, drinks and atmosphere was fantastic!

First time here and we had a great time even with social distancing. The staff were extremely friendly. The owner came by to check on us a few times as well. The food was really good. Try the Empanadas and the Guacamole. Very nice interior setting.

They did a really nice job with this place.

Girls night out after work. Food was excellent.
Service was great. Only thing was we were seated next to the windows, and 5. O’clock sun was coming through and was so very hot and blinding. Made us a bit uncomfortable. Other than that, we will definitely be going back. Decor was beautiful. Already made reservations for date night with the husband.

We ate on the patio which was lovely and not too loud. The margaritas with salted foam are the best I've ever tasted. Everything we ordered was delicious.

Excellent food and super nice staff! Will definitely be back

I understand that it was opening week, however I expected more seeing as how this is the same owner of 677 Prime, one of our favorite places. The service there is impeccable. We had an 8:00 pm reservation and we did not get our meals until 9:50 pm. Our server was very nice, I’m not sure if he needs more training or what? The manager came over and gave us a gift card for the next visit but I’m not sure I’d return. Maybe for drinks. It’s absolutely beautiful inside. But, I’d go to Prime before I went here again.

First night out in months with the family. Stressful with the covid, so hard to relax and feel safe when you keep wondering if you should have stayed home. Very nice outdoor seating with fabulous umbrellas. We had to wait over a half hour for our table even though we had a reservation. That was unfortunate because it was hot out. Thankfully they did provide a comfortable seating area for a drink while we waited. Then we saw “our” table given to another party and the hostess saw it too! Another table freed up and our server was quick to seat us. Go Courtney! She was very busy tending to tables inside and out. She was as attentive as she could be given the situation and she was very courteous and really did a fabulous job. Also Kevin was coming around with water, chips and salsa and other help. Thank you! The food was excellent. High end mexican. We had the empanadas, taquitos,salmon tacos, sweet potato tacos and chili rellenos. Happy with the margaritas, original on the rocks and a frozen mango margarita. Would definitely go back.

So happy to finally get to dine in here. Excellent night

The food was not very good. The tortillas were hard and very dry as if they were over microwaved and brittle. The meat was overly salty and the margaritas had to much syrup and not enough liquid (mostly ice). It was a very long wait to be able to visit and very much not worth it. Strongly advise against future visits.

We were celebrating a retirement. Patio was very nice. It was just very hot out that night and the sun was in our faces. Staff was very nice and food was great.

Everything about our dining experience was fabulous - the ambience, service, quality and taste of our food and drinks; as well as the care taken to ensure our safety during the Covid-19 situation make Toro our new favorite dining spot in the Capital District. The presentation of the Churros for dessert in and of itself is a reason to go back. Sangria, fish tacos and empanadas were so flavorful. There is such a diverse menu that we had a difficult time choosing what to eat. We've already made a reservation to go back to Toro this coming week and look forward to visiting often!

The food here is just amazing, many layered flavors to each dish from totally fresh ingredients and service was very attentive. This brand new restaurant has a great appearance with interesting design and a huge patio for outdoor alternative. Drinks were also great, check out the menus and get out and experience this wonderful new place.

First time there. Loved it! Only complaint is that dinners came out less than 5 minutes after appetizers. Had to eat both courses together.

The freshest guacamole you can get. The braise beef taco with pickled onions was absolutely amazing. We got a side of sweet corn esquites that was delicious that night, and the next day...so much food. Cant wait to go back.

Last night of work for the summer!

They did just open, but our reservation was not sat until 20 minutes later and food (apps) did not come out until an hour later. Food was good, just very late

Great food and great service

Although the food was good the way it was very difficult to deal with. We thought we bought a reasonable amount of drinks and every single time we ordered it took between 15 to 20 minutes to get our drinks. Our last order took over 45 minutes to get. Our service is our biggest issue it was only a two person party and yet we were there for over 2 1/2 hours.

Did we not get either of the modifications we asked for ( no cilantro in one dish and to swap black beans for pinto beans in another dish) but our food was delicious.

Ive been to similar style cantinas in different cities. I've been hoping for a place like this in Albany, NY. Exceptional quality and beautiful place. Chips, guac bar, fundido dip is all very delicious. Cocktails are on another level. If you love spicy drinks, the fuego margarita is so good. Pork Tamale is spot on. Great corn outer shell, perfectly seasoned pork. Cilantro rice and black beans are very flavorful. Rainbow Trout is exceptional, especially the acompanying chutney. Finish with a tres leche cake or a coconut piñata. If your on a date, the coconut piñata is a must. A coconut shaped chocolate ball filled with fresh fruit comes hanging on a contraption. You are handed a wooden stick to break the ball to find the prize. You are left with delicious chocolate, strawberry, Pineapple, churro, berries and whiped cream on a tray. True fun on a plate.
