Toro has been a mainstay of Boston’s South End for well over 20 years and its longevity is easy to explain: it’s fun, well run and who doesn’t need some tapas in their life every now and then? Round up some friends for a night out, then start with a glass of manzanilla and some pintxos like caña de cabra or matrimonio while you decide what to share. Highlights of the menu include crisp croquetas with creamy bacalao and roasted bone marrow with oxtail – or you can choose one of the paellas. Good cocktails and an all-Spanish wine add to the appeal, while the music plays in tune with the rustic, laid back feel of the place.
