   Toro was closed. The restaurant is closed for good. For some reason open table still allows to make reservations.

   Seemed like Toro Toro was understaffed. The service was slow because there were only 1-2 people working the whole floor.

   It was a good value. I guess I didn't realize they closed at 7:30pm. Definitely more a lunch Happy Hour place.

   My cup had someone's lipstick on it which was gross, and the portions were small for the price. But I was in good company so it was okay.

   Horrible experience. I made a reservation but when we got there it was seat yourself and order at the bar. There was one bartender for the whole restaurant. This was also a downtown DC restaurant that closes at 7 which is unheard of. Then we wasted 45 min of the only two hours that they were open after work waiting in line for drinks. Got our own food from the side of the bar. There was other staff around all standing around doing nothing including the manager who just watched all the guests be absolutely miserable. We were nudged out at 7:15 pm. Never going back.

   I attended Toro Toro for happy hour and made the reservation via OpenTable but there was no point because once we got there, we were told to seat ourselves and that all orders needed to place at the bar. We waited to place our orders at the bar for over 20 mins. The guacamole was worth the wait, but the rest of the menu items were not. We also had to return to the bar to pick up our own food. While the prices were reasonable and the guac was exceptional the rest of the experience was not.

   Had reservations and never got seated. Turns out it’s only a happy hour spot and you wait in a long line even with reservations to order a drink and then find your own seat. There was at least 5-6 other groups or couples that ended up leaving just as we did. There was absolutely no one there to great you and explain this. Instead I waisted 30 minutes trying to figure it out. When I tried calling, there was no answer or information. Truly one of the most bizarre ways I have had horrible service or no service!

    We ended up leaving because only the bar (which seats about 10 people) was open. They were only serving happy hour food. I wish they had said they had a limited bar menu available on Open Table; I would’ve booked somewhere else.

    The restaurant promoted a Cinco de Mayo event until 10 pm but ran out of food by 7 pm…could only order a Margarita because they ran out of Mojitos? It turned out they had a special event downstairs, perhaps they should have closed the restaurant to the public. Strange first visit.

    It was horrible, the waiter never came to our table. The guy that sat us down originally had to be our server we didn’t get service until 25 mins after sitting there. Our whole table was starving and we all ordered bottomless brunch and the drink service was very poor. After the first hour we had to go get up and ask where are the drinks and we wanted more food and got the check instead. We basically all felt rushed to leave and it didn’t even feel like a brunch experience at all. My friends and I were pretty excited about trying brunch at this location but after this experience we will not be coming back for brunch.

    One of my favorite places in DC. Service is always friendly and engaging. Food is always amazing. They do have HH until 7pm so you get get drinks and small plates for $6. Highly recommended.

    A friend and I came to toro toro to celebrate our birthdays which are a week apart - the food was amazing and the bottomless tapas was a really fun way to chat and enjoy and now have to think much about what we wanted - and was SO reasonably priced! We also got bottomless drinks which were delicious and free flowing. And to top it all off our server was so sweet and brought us both a glass of champagne to celebrate! The service was great, social distancing was appropriate, amazing price for value and delicious food! What more could you ask for?! 10/10 would recommend!

    pression was HORRIBLE We had a reservation for 4 at 1:45pm. We get to the place a couple of mins before and the young host ask us to wait 10 mins because there was not table available. He said we can wait at the bar area but not at the bar or we can wait OUTSIDE. Which I replied of course not. I mean it was 44 degrees at the moment. After 25 mins of wait we asked him, what is going on and how long? He went around the restaurant and came back and said that they didn't have a table for us, like WHAT?? So we tell him we didn't just walked in, we have a reservation and came here in time, call the manager (which never showed up by the way). After a couple of mins the host informed us that he might have a table and proceeded to sat us down, finally!!! Brunch is $39, bottomless. Options are very limited and portions are tiny (i guess normal for brunch???) the waiter Daniel tried his best but they looked over crowded and not enough waiters. They brought everything on the menu and then you re order what you like. They messed up everything and brought whatever We asked Daniel for a Bday tres leches for my friend and the put a candle in it, which they never turned on . Time is supposed to be limited to up to 2 hrs, there were people there from the time we got there, left and they were still there. No wonder why they didn't have tables available. I don't think I would come back honestly

    We enjoyed our visit to Toro Toro. We arrived early and they were able to seat us. We ordered the ceviche and pisco sours to start. I was surprised that chips came with the ceviche but it made it easier to share. The drinks were slightly sweeter than we were used to. The entrees came out quickly. We had lomo saltado and chaufa rice. They both tasted great and we received large portions. The inside was decorated nicely with cowhide accents and steer skulls.

    I always enjoying to Toro Toro for brunch & I did not know what to expect since the pandemic. Let's just say, my Husband was pleasantly happy about our anniversary brunch date. I've taken him there for happy hour, but this experience was different and more enjoyable for him. I love how they have incorporated social distancing & serve the food to you. I truly enjoy the unlimited menu items & the creativity the staff and managers put into it. I cannot wait to go back, because whoever they had on the bar for the margaritas, had a nondrinker, drinking up a storm! EVERYTHING was satisfying!!

    I had the sweet corn empanadas (okay, not great - I'd pass on this one), Black bean soup (really nice, topped with cheese), plantain (okay, not great and I really like plantains), 2 short rib tacos (these are excellent), 1 fish taco (these are excellent), salmon ceviche (it's really good but you have to visually hunt for the salmon), and chicken skewer (it is good). This was all included in their Family Deal $39 a person. If I did it again, I have more tacos and skewers. Very quiet at this time.

    I have always loved Toro Toro and believe it serves a quality brunch. However, the last time I attended brunch it was loud...very loud. The quality of the food was great (although I miss all the options that were on the buffet). The bottomless mimosas are always a plus for me when it comes to brunch and I love the fact that they offer 3 different kinds (mango or passion fruit are a hit). Overall, I love the brunch but I wish the other patrons weren't so loud and disruptive.

    ToroToro is taking amazing precautions balancing the COVID-19 Pandemic. Tables are spread out and food during brunch hour is bought to you. I wish they took temperatures at the door however they are asking you wear masks until seated. This was my first time going and I'd rate it a 10/10.

    Overall the food met our expectations. I have a gluten allergy and Toro Toro was very helpful in ensuring the items I ordered we're GF. Guac, Ceviche, Black Bean Stew and Fried Rice were excellent! Fried Rice was not GF so I didn't try, but I was told it was great. We also ordered the Chorizo skewers, which was okay, but I wouldn't order it again. We really enjoyed our drinks. Overall atmosphere was great, and service was good.
