Regarding Toro's menu, the options are as diverse as the cultures it draws inspiration from. 

Start with a Nikkei-Style Sushi Roll like the standout ​​Angry Tuna. This roll features spicy tuna, cucumber, avocado, yuzu negi, sweet chili sauce, and yuzu aioli. Latin and Asian flavors dance harmoniously within this culinary creation, offering a symphony of spice and freshness.

Toro's Specialty menu section lists some impressive choices. The Lomo Saltado showcases tender beef tenderloin, creamy jasmine rice, arroz soy jus, crispy potatoes, heirloom tomato, grilled onion, and rocoto aioli.

From the grill, consider a ribeye or Tomahawk steak. But for the authentic Latin fare, order the Churrasco Platter! This entree is crafted to replicate South American family-style dining, where the meal is shared. The platter has New York steak, lamb chops, achiote chicken, and Argentinian chorizo. Toss in some side dishes, and you have a plentiful meal rich with flavors!

Cap off your dining escapade with a dessert like the La Bomba. This sweet extravaganza transforms the conclusion of your meal into a theatrical masterpiece. It's shareable with a chocolate half sphere, seasonal sorbet, dulce de leche ice cream, pistachio ice cream, berries, crumbles, vanilla, and candy pistachios. 

As their name implies, one would suspect their rum selection would be stellar. Rest assured, it is! From silver to dark, from overproof to those aged for years, there's a rum for every palate at Toro.

When you need a rum cocktail, try the Pain Killer! This refreshing libation uses one of the best rums, Pusser's Rum, and adds coconut, pineapple, lime, and fresh nutmeg. It's a tip of the hat to the Caribbean Islands! There are plenty of non-rum cocktails to peruse and a good selection of wine and beer.
