Toro Food Concepts

I heard a lot of great things about this restaurant. So I went out of my way to check it out. Food was pretty good. I got pork empanadas and asked for the manager's recommendation. He told me about the Sicilian empanadas. I ordered 5 of each.I showed up around 5pm but it felt like I walked in 5 min before closing. Not disrespectful but just apathetic. It wasn't welcoming. That didn't discourage me because I wanted to try out the food The pork empanadas were good and the dip complimented the dish really well. Next I tried to manager's choice, the Sicilian empanadas. I ate one and then I felt this would be perfect for a breakfast meal. I saved the rest of them for tomorrow morning and it was perfect with my coffee. Both selections were crunchy and had good flavor.The place was clean but small, and the parking was very limited. All the other restaurants reserved the main parking spots so you either have to walk a bit or park on the street.I took a picture of the automatic tip. I can't stand that so I wanted people to be aware. I may come back to try the other bowls. We will see.Thank you for reading.

Small hidden place but a great find. I got the Barbie bowl and the pork and pineapple blend was amazing. It was super flavorful and fresh. The only drawback was the price. It wasn't a huge portion and they charged a 16% service fee for counter service so it was quite expensive for a smaller portion.

Automatic 15% tip on all orders. This is a small restaurant with only a handful of tables, maybe enough room for 10 people. Portions were way too unbalanced for my liking. It said it came with tomatoes, but I got only 3 diced tomatoes on top which is a joke. Not enough chimichurri and way too much rice. Just wasn't impressed with it. I finished everything else in the bowl and still had a bunch of white rice. It is quality food but if I am paying $20 for a bowl it better give good portions and flavor. I wish I would have just went to Chipotle or Qdoba.

The flavor of the pork in the San Juan is spot on. I really enjoyed the taste. The portions were unbalanced - too much rice, not enough beans, and a sad serving of meat. The sweet plantains were good, I even ordered a side of it. I ordered the bowl and burrito versions. It did not hit the mark for the price point. Service was quick and friendly. The playlist is eclectic.

Shoutout to any place that can handle 9 girls rolling in at 3pm with a smile! Not only were these guys super funny and helpful, but their dishes were delicious. We probably spent longer deciding what to get than we did actually eating, everything just sounded so good. And it was! There isn't much room to dine inside so heads up there, but I can definitely see myself stopping by and picking up lunch or dinner here on a regular basis. Go see for yourself!

I really like my chicken bowl from here! I got it as a bowl and it had rice, black beans, bell peppers, sour cream and a pico. The chicken was marinated and was really tender. He got the pork one as a burrito and it is huge! It was slow cooked pulled pork with plantains, rice, and beans. We just needed to add some hot sauce. Their cucumber mint aqua Fresca was good too!

Food was fresh and delicious. Made to order. Had an empanada which was very hot and tasty. Also had a roasted pork dish with rice and plantains that were out of this world. Watermelon Fresca was refreshing too. Place is small and cute and clean.

Food here is so inventive and delicious! The plantains are cooked so perfectly and I loved the flavors in my risi beastie bowl. I couldn't help but order the fluffatellanananutter (because that name haha) and it was decadent!! It was a frozen banana covered in Nutella and marshmallow fluff, all encased in a deep fried casing. Delish. They also just started serving beer and cocktails, and feature a happy hour weekdays 2-5pm! The staff (owners??) were really friendly and kind. Decor was fun and trendy. The space was small though so it lends itself more to take out unfortunately. Definitely plan to come back!

Regular stop! Amazing flavors and combinations. Call it a wrap, or call it a burrito, by either name it is delicious.

Cute Cap Hill neighborhood location (think Sexy's Pizza). Clean inside. You can into the prep and kitchen area and it too is clean. Try the San Juan Bowl. Pork perfection. Also tried the picadillo empanada. Wow. Crispy and hot. Full of flavor. Owner is kind and he had quite a few patrons eat in and pick up.
