I Want To Give Many Thanks To Our Bartender For Making The Night Memorable With His Charismatic Charm, Friendly Energy and Exceptional Service. Some Of, If Not The Best Drinks I've Had In A Long While. Will Most Definitely Be Returning Again and Suggesting This Place To Friends and Family.

    Came to Los Toros to celebrate a birthday dinner and we had a great experience. We were arrested quickly by the servers and took our orders very promptly. Servers were very friendly and there atmosphere was very pleasant. Food also came out relatively quick. Each dish was more delicious than the previous and we were very full by the end of the meal. My personal favorite was they garlic shrimp. Would definitely recommend coming back again.

    Honestly I didn't know what to expect since it was a very latin name, but listed as a seafood specialty place, but this was an amazing experience. We were seated right way and quickly greeted by Brandon. Started off with great drinks and moved into an appetizer. We also ordered the paella for our main course and everything tasted amazingly. The food tasted fresh and while the menu did say that we should expect a 30mins wait, it was brought out rather quickly. To end the meal, we had to have Churros.... how can you not have Churros!

    The service here was excellent. I was expecting much nicer ambience and flavour of the food. We had the paella and while it wasn’t bad it was just bland. The setting was also very plain and functional. Given the price of the food I expected more from this venue.

    I took my husband here for his birthday. He wanted the Halibut, but was told they didn’t have it but would do “Tuna”. He doesn’t like Tuna, so that was an issue. I ordered the salmon and it was overcooked. Our waiter was great, no issues what so ever with him. We just found the overall experience disappointing and won’t come back.

    We recently stop in at Los Toros before a concert. The server was friendly and good. The food was good but over priced for what is was. This was my first time here and I found the interior to be bare and not very inviting. With so many great restaurants in Halifax I just don't think I will be back

    Tourists trap. The location is great right by the water so we thought we would try it out. Drinks were not good. Had to send mine back the first time as there was an ant in my glass. And I’m not sure what came out, but it wasn’t the old fashioned I ordered. I drank it but didn’t order any more. Calamari was over fried, and still very tough on the inside. Paella was seasoned ok, but the seafood in it was again, overcooked. And overall, way overpriced at $120 for the portion you get.

    The food was very delicious but definitely a bit pricey. Servers were very friendly and helpful, giving recommendations for nearby pubs to visit after. Music was slightly loud and there were constant motorcycles outside. The sides we ordered (caesar salad and garlic potatoes) were sublime.

    Based on other reviews I expected our meal to be amazing, but apart from the excellent scallops, we were quite underwhelmed. Our server put in all of our items to be ready at the same time which is not how tapas are supposed to work. We would have liked some vegetarian options beyond patatas bravas and a tortilla. We decided to each get a salad and they were pretty basic and certainly not Spanish. There was zero atmosphere as we were pretty much the only diners inside so I can't really actually judge what the noise level would be if they were busy. I would definitely not return.
