    Loved the experience dining at Tapa Toro. The portions of paella for one are large enough for two. The ceviche is a great appetizer. I loved that they accommodated our preference for no pork. The flamenco dancers on stage were great! It was a wonderful experience overall we would definitely go again. I recommend a reservation, because seating fills up quickly. They do their best to seat walk-ins.

    This place was in the .iddle.of.Icon Park, so traffic is busy & parking is limited, unless you pay. However this place was great, even though is was super busy. The waitress worked her magic & took good care of us. The only issue we had was the Paella was a little undercooked & the rice was hard, but everything else including live entertainment was great

    The food here was amazing! We ordered 3 plates each which was more than enough. The server was very very friendly and accommodating as one party had a nut allergy. We watched the flamenco which was a lovely touch around 2100. The music was a bit loud but I found it added to the ambience. The garlic shrimp and the mushroom dish were my favourite and definitely worth a try !

    The service was friendly and prompt, and the food was outstanding. We expected to wait a long time for our food - they were busy - but the timing was just right, and every dish was so tasty. We also had a flamenco dancer perform during our meal and she was fantastic! We've made reservations to visit again with other family members - so yes, highly recommended!

    We loved the adventure. We do about 4-5 Magicl Dinings. We enjoyed the evening but would not plan on a return. The sangria was weak and the food was just OK. The Tres Leche was great.

    Taoa toro was amazing. The serve, food, and drinks were all top notch. Made it in time for happy hour which gave me half price on a pitcher of sangria which was probably the best sangria I have had, and amazing prices on tapas. I strongly recommend the pork belly and the hummus. Also the papa's bravas were great too. All in a we had a great date night and will return here soon.

    I saw that they were listed in magical dining, expecting a nice experience it was not worth the 116 dollar bill. Lets start off where we were seated. The restaurant was mostly empty for a Friday night. We were sat in a corner that was loud with music. My wife informed me that the waiter made her extremely uncomfortable staring at her the entire time we were there. It really shows how the staff is not focused on making it a memorable event. I am not a jealous human being and as such tried to male the best of an uncomfortable event. Secondly, i requested my steak medium rare, it was brought well done. again attempted to make the best of the event. On top of that they automatically charge you 20 percent tip irregardless of whether or not the service was good. A forced charge is never well received. My wife commented that here paella lacked sea food. She had to pick at her plate to attempt to find any seafood.

    The paella was very over cooked, so most of the seafood was chewy. We did the magical dining experience and the best parts were the caesar salad and tres leches. Would not return here for paella. Would try other tapas, only at happy hour.

    We had an absolutely amazing experience here. The service was the best I have ever experienced (and I am an avid restaurant goer), the food was phenomenal, and the flamenco dancer was stunning and very talented. Roger was our server, and he absolutely exceeded expectations. He was friendly, accommodating, and never let an empty dish sit at our table for more than a minute. We will certainly be back on our next trip!

    The Papas Bravas, olives, pan con tomate, and tortilla Espanola, were delicious and generous portions. My fiancé had the Magical Menu and his ceviche and tres leches were excellent as well. His seafood paella was a bit disappointing. Not as flavorful as I expected. I was disappointed that the flamenco dancer did one song for 3 minutes and that was the end of that show. If I go back it’s only for the tapas. I would pass on the rest of it.

    Tapa Toro is always a fun high energetic restaurant. We ordered tapas, filet mignon, lamb chops and seafood paella for one. My lamb was unfortunately plated with different sauce that listed on the menu. The lamb also had a unpleasant gamey flavor that increased as the lamb cooled. The filet was beautifully cooked. The seafood paella for one was not great. The chorizo was minced adding an oil slick on the bottom of the pan. Although we only enjoy one entree the tapas were quite delightful.

    Had a great meal. I took advantage of the Magical dining. Had the Ceviche - very food. The paella was good. And had tres leches. We also shared empanadas (not what I expected as it is not your traditional latin empanadas). But they were good. The pork belly was delicious and the patatas bravas were good.

    The seafood Paella was missing the advertised chorizo, skimping on the shrimp (3) and loaded with squid. The rice was tasty but the Paella was overpriced @ $38 for a single portion.

    We had a great time at Tapa Toro - the service was great. The server was fantastic - attentive; extremely friendly; and very professional. The food was plentiful and delicious. During the live entertainment the noise level was a bit loud - making conversation difficult but it was manageable and did not last long. All in all a great place.
