    The restaurant setting was very Spanish from Europe, I had great hopes of experiencing great Spanish food, but the food tasted like something that was premade and sold at Sam’s. I know because I’m Spanish, and everything tasted to be premade. The prices of the food were kind of high, but the service was great. The people who work there were awesome the dancers by really good. What they need to do is make the food actually taste Spanish and not something you buy at Costco.

    The staff was friendly but I’d rate the food just Ok. It’s a theme park version of authentic Spanish. We came in on a very rainy dreary evening and the flamenco dancer had been sent home so I cannot comment on the show.

    This restaurant is really fun, and the food is fantastic! A lot of great entertainment inside as well. There are paintings on the wall that come to life every once in a while, and there’s frequently live dancing. It gets extremely loud when that’s happening, but it does engage everyone in the restaurant, and it’s a lot of fun. Great place!

    Great time at Mother’s Day dinner (inside seating) at Tapa Toro. Fun time watching the flamenco dancing. Bacon wrapped fig tapas were very good, as were the ham croquettes. Fire potatoes had some areas that were too spicy but other parts were very good with right amount of spice. Beef empanadas were not the best as the meat was overshadowed by the fried dough taste. Meatballs tasted a bit packaged. Tomato bread Tapa was good, especially adding the manchego cheese topping. Paella was quite plentiful for $49. Four people can eat well from it, especially with just a few extra tapas for the table. Rice in the paella could have been a bit fluffier, but overall a solid choice for a Spanish restaurant. Biggest complaint is how incredibly loud the music is during the dancing. Honestly could not hear ourselves talk to each other at all. But once there was a break in the dancing, the music is lowered significantly. Overall a fun and enjoyable experience for a special occasion.

    Amazing place went for Mother’s Day. Will definitely be back again. Food was actually and surprisingly really good a well round balance of flavors not to fishy where it takes away from the seasoning. Reason it’s not a five star it’s hard to be that you can be great. But to be perfect it would take a better seating arrangement and cook of the seafood for sure and food pairing with cocktails. Other than that amazing place a must try.

    We went for Mothers Day brunch. The food and staff were excellent. A lot of of food options and most everything was fresh and well made. We were disappointed to find they do not showcase the flamenco dancing during the day, however. And like everything else on I-drive, the price point seems a bit inflated. Would recommend for fun, special occasion, ideally at night.

    Variety of food was lacking. The individual dishes themselves were well prepared and flavors were good. Disappointed meals didn't include beverages, I'm okay that alcoholic drinks would be more, but even tea was extra. Mandatory gratuity for a party of 4 when we served ourselves was a bit much as well.

    I took my husband here for his birthday dinner and it was great! The food was great. The service overall excellent I would definitely be coming back. Our sever did an excellent job the host who took us to our table made us feel at home, she’s from New York and we felt right at home. The drinks were top tier! I ordered something not to my liking and the waiter noticed and changed it to something else and took it off our tab. The views at night are amazing with all the lights and you can walk around the park with your alcoholic beverage. Great experience. I’ll be back

    We were in town for a tradeshow, and I am found this place because one of our folks is predominantly vegetarian, and we could get food for her at this restaurant. The hostess and the waitress were so accommodating and helpful. The food was great, and we had a wonderful table outside to enjoy, the beautiful weather while we were having very good food

    I’m particularly appalled by the quality of the meat that they used for their skewer. It was so tough that it was so difficult to chew. I gave up after a couple of pieces. The marinated anchovies tasted liked they came from a can. The best thing that we got was the pork belly which was really melt in your mouth.

    The only thing I liked was the service. Drinks too expensive and not very good. Sangria flight didn’t tasted as a sangria, not even one. Guacamole VERY acid and no chips to eat it with. Ceviche, extremely acid as well. The empanadas bland, nor impressive at all. The ham croquets bland as well and lacking of ham. The octopus was ok but nothing significant. The meatballs were ok as well, I think was a bit better than the rest of what we ordered. The potato frittata cold and not flavorful. We decided not to order any dessert since the experience of the food. I know we are not going back, food too expensive and not worth trying anything else…

    This was my second visit to Tapa Toro. It was like going to a totally different restaurant this time. Food was not same quality. Pitcher of sangria was full of ice. Not worth the price. The Flamenco show was just one lady dancing very poorly and offbeat. Will not be back. Disappointed!

    This place is a knock off. Super expensive for food that’s sub par. Paella is not good or authentic, very lacking in flavor. We were served lamb that was almost raw. They brought us a beet salad with no beets… then we told them, they brought us the salad again with a bunch of peppers on top. Again, no beets. Unfortunately, service was super slow as well. I would not dine here again

Si te sientas afuera no vas a poder hablar a gusto porque hay mucho ruido y un trensito que pasa cada 5 minutos jajaja.. pero si volvería solo que pediría mesa adentro … 100% recomendado

    The Manager Evellyn was very welcoming, accomidating, met our needs well. Evelyn met our table request with no problems. My guest from New York and New Jersey loved the food and especially the entertainment. Our server Roger was excellant and courteous. The staff made my brother inlaws birthday song special. We especially liked how the spanish dancer particpated in the dancing as we sang happy birthday to him she even pulled him out to do the flamingo dance. The guy waving the strobe light was a special touch. Thanks
