Came here in Denver with clients of mine who split time between here and 30A and this was their go to recommendation. Glad I listened. Toro is a great spot right in the heart of downtown Denver. The space is clean and lively without being loud. Food came out fast and everything we ordered was really solid. The small plates were easy to share and the cocktails were well made without being complicated. Nothing felt rushed and nothing felt forced. Service was relaxed and attentive and the whole experience just felt easy. If you are staying anywhere near downtown and want a dependable dinner spot with good energy this one is worth stopping into.

This is not a lomo saltado. Please change the name of it. Peruvian traditional dish Lomo Saltado is not even close to what you offer. Flavor was ok. Too much fried stuff on top of the meat. And the rice was more like a risotto. No potatoes, so definitely not a lomo saltado. Paid $45 for this and I was not happy with it. Desserts were ok. I ordered a pisco sour. It was good.

Dining here was such a wonderful experience!! Steven is an insanely good server and knows the menu extremely well, his dessert of choice was super yummy too. I got the chicken and my boyfriend got a ribeye- both cooked wonderfully and great portion sizes!!!!
