Toro

The menu at “Toro” in Boston’s South End offers an energetic Barcelona-style tapas experience, combining classic regional flavors with bold, creative small plates. A focal point of their charcuterie selection is authentic Jamón Ibérico, served alongside artisan meats like Chorizo Ibérico and Salchichón Ibérico, as well as traditional Spanish sheep and cow’s milk cheeses such as aged Manchego, Idiazábal, and Valdeón Blue. While the official menu highlights premium cured Iberian Ham sourced from top Spanish producers rather than listing a single brand name, it remains a centerpiece dish served simply to highlight its natural richness. Beyond charcuterie, guests can explore traditional cold and hot small plates, including crispy Patatas Bravas, Tortilla Española, garlic shrimp (Gambas al Ajillo), and grilled corn (Maíz Asado). Heartier offerings feature roasted bone marrow (Asado de Huesos), braised lamb empanadas, and seared hanger steak (Filete a la Plantxa). To complete the meal, diners can enjoy classic churros con chocolate, coffee bread pudding, and traditional Spanish sherries.
