Review Toro Toro - Miami

Incredible experience. Went to try the Miami Spice menu on a Sunday night with a friend visiting from out of town. Would recommend going at this time, as there was hardly anyone present, if you're looking for a more low-key evening. The food was absolutely stupendous! Absolutely nothing bad to say about a single one of the dishes. This place has one of the best steaks I have ever had at a restaurant. With the current Miami Spice deals it's an absolutely uncontested champion of value for what you get from it.

Really love the ambience. I wanted to have some seafood and I was really happy to find the charred octopus on the menu! I especially liked the barley grass on top of it which leveled up the overall taste. The morning rolls with tomato salsa sauce was really great too. Prior to coming down from my room, I saw that there were some zero proof drinks on the menu, but I wasn't able to order that and instead I got a virgin mojito. Everything was great, but the cake was a little too sweet for me and I think it would be great to share with another person.

During our recent stay at the Intercontinental Hotel in Miami, we had the opportunity to dine at Toro Toro on a Saturday night, and it was a pleasant experience. Our evening began in the comfortable lounge area, where we enjoyed a couple of cocktails while watching a college SEC game on a large screen. The combination of sports, bar ambiance, great food, and attentive service made for an enjoyable start. Our server from the lounge also provided excellent service at our dining table. She was knowledgeable about the menu and even brought the head chef to our table for an introduction and to explain some of the dishes. We started our dinner with prawns, octopus, and pork belly, which were all satisfying. However, the highlights were the perfectly cooked filet mignon and the flavorful red snapper, along with a great wine list offering many worldwide options. We ordered a bottle of Medalla Malbec from Argentina, which had a very nice bouquet, medium to full body, dark ruby red color, low tannin, and a slightly dry finish. Our side dishes, including broccolini and lobster mac and cheese (amazing), were also well-prepared and delicious. The dessert options, such as flan, key lime pie, and various cakes, were tempting for those with room for dessert. The overall dining experience at Toro Toro was fantastic, with our high-top dining table and big screen TV adding to the ambiance, especially with the great service and tasty food. We would definitely consider returning on our next trip to Miami.

The drinks were amazing, bar tender was very attentive, remembered names and made great suggestions for folks. I had crispy prawns, lobster mac and cheese and corn empanadas and they were all fire. Definitely on the more expensive end but nice for a fancy date night or a classy family celebration.

Yahaira was AMAZING! She recommended the skewer and BOY was she right. I tried the lamb for the first time…YUM! Lobster Mac and cheese? YESSIR! The MASHED POTATOES!? Heaven. I do not like the broccolini/asparagus though, undercooked and rough. Everything else, including Yahsira’s service, was PHENOMENAL. It’s worth eating here to try out! Unique good, unique drinks, great experience! Make sure you leave room in your pocket (pricey, but high quality).

The ribeye is amazing! Great food and service. I'm looking forward to breakfast in the AM!

It was a rainy evening and i was staying at the Intercontinental. It was my last of four nights in Miami and I'd had one exceptional Miami Spice dinners (at Gekko) followed by two not nearly as good (Hutong as Zuma). I was enjoying a delicious smoked old fashioned at the bar. I didn't want to leave the hotel in the rain, I wanted steak, and so i decided to try Toro Toro. I sat at the bar. Dinner was three courses. Course one was a tuna tostada. It was pretty. The flavors and textures were good. The textures were good as well. But two things i didn't care for... The tuna flavor was lost amongst everything else, and i really don't like eating in a nicer restaurant with my hands. Course two was a steak. It was a steak, cooked well. Good but not fantastic. Course three was tres leches. It was the best of the three courses. I left full. I would rather try new restaurants than return to Toro Toro. But I'll definitely come back for the old fashioned.

Arrived at the hotel, jet lag, super hungry and received a delicious steak, perfectly cooked, sides were divine and we loved everything about the restaurant. The waiters were kind, the ambience a bit loud but they turned the volume of the music down after we requested it. Great experience!

Another amazing dinner date with friends for the first time at this joint. Im going to skip the drinks not because they weren't good but because the food is just amazing here. To start the apps are so delicious and l'Il tell you which ones we liked the most so let me break it down for you.... The lomo saltado empanadas: tender and juicy beef tenderloin with avocado and soy sauce, melted mozzarella. The beef was so flavorful that I almost ordered seconds and everything just melted in my mouth. I guarantee you that when you try these you'd want to place an extra order, that good. Chicharrón de camarones: crispy shrimp, aji Amarillo, avocado and rocoto mint salsa. This tastes almost like a sweet and sour shrimp but crispy. Shrimp perfectly cooked and the crust was just amazing. Chaufa: one of the best chaufa(fried rice) to date. Rice cooked to perfection with chorizo and chicken and good portion. Grilled Octopus: I'm not exaggerating when I tell you that this is the best grilled octopus I've ever tasted. Tender to the core while charred on the outside and sitting on an amazing sauce, this is by far the best grilled octopus in town. It comes with a side of potato salad that is good but unnecessary if you ask me because this octopus needs nothing on the side. Chicken and chorizo croquettes: my wife absolutely enjoyed these croquettes so much she almost didn't share lol. Cheese board: five different cheeses including goat and mamchego with honey and fig jam. Skirt steak: medium well cooked perfectly and tender topped with plum, string potatoes and a delicious salsa verde. Mac and cheese: surprisingly a really delicious Mac and cheese at a Peruvian joint is shocking. La Bomba dessert: amazing presentation and very yummy. Chocolate sphere with berries, Dulce de Leche and strawberry ice cream, almond cookie crumbs, cheese mouse, vanilla and berry sauce all collapsed on the table over a plastic cover and big enough to share between four people. Cortadito cheesecake: least favorite and really nothing special. Having broken down the dishes I have to say that the service was top notch and possibly exceptional compared to other places we've been to. Our waitress was most attentive, friendly, helpful and interactive. Going for the parrillada type dish for two people next time we come here.

This place is amazing! Great service and incredible food. It's definitely one of the top five best restaurants that I have been to in my travels so far.

I booked table 40 for me wife's birthday. Got a private table inside the kitchen where we could see the chef preparing all of the meals. The room was enclosed with glass that was sound proof. The private dining experience was top notch. The chef and entire staff were amazing. The La Bomba dessert at the end was the perfect way to end the night.

Amazing service, great ambience, and delicious dishes! We highly recommend the Truffle Mishima Beef Tiradito and the Guacamole Chilindron! They also have a fried snapper that you can request to be grilled instead (tastes better). We were also surprised by the fire dance show around 9pm and again around 10pm, definitely a highlight.

The restaurant is absolutely gorgeous. I would come back here for dinner or just to hang out with friends for a drink or two. The restaurant is inside the hotel. I flew in late and was super hungry before I went to my room and stopped by the the restaurant to have this meal. I had shrimp and fries. The shrimp was delicious; however, I didn’t care for the sauce on the fries at all. The food was pricey to be bar food. I think both combined total over $30. The service and ambiance of the restaurant were both great.

Aimee is a wonderful server. We came pre cruise and celebrating. There was a bit of a mix up with the corkage fee on the bottle of Dom we brought along but Sean was very gracious. Then there was an issue with opening said bottle. Again Sean was extremely gracious. Fantastic food great hospitality what more could we ask.

I ate one steak today. It was amazing with fries 🍟 the flavor was so good 😊 and the service very nice I recommend this place so far

Our last night in Miami and couldn’t have chosen a better spot to eat! Food was good and service was EXCELLENT. Our waiter CARLOS and his coworker YASSINE were the best and they honestly made our dining experience so much better and comfortable. We were a group of 13 girls and he was able to handle us and attend to our needs with no problem. Definitely leaving this place happy :)

First time there, I ate the Toro Toro Burger. It comes with your choice of fries or one of three different small salads. I noticed the burger patty was very juicy, better than some burgers I tasted. Most Excellent food and service. I will definitely repeat. Btw To added pics of Miami Spice 2021 Update an unscheduled visit by early November 2023, before 5 pm. Lorena M, was my server. I had steak & fries (bits of cheese) with orange juice. And she recommended El Havano it’s a Cuban inspired dessert. Pls see the pics I posted. This visit dedicated to my German American ex gf. Cue in the songs Taylor Swift ft. Ice Spice - Karma (Official Music Video) and Dua Lipa - Dance The Night. 🇺🇸🇩🇪😎🎸
