Chill vibe on a February Thursday night. Enchiladas de Pollo con Lima were great as well as the house margarita. Recommended and will come back again. Great service.
So happy to have Toro on the Pearl. The decor is modern and the open air space is perfect for a date night or drinks with the girls. The Mexican food and vibe are all around wonderful! The best part is that they take reservations. Salud!
