Silla Del Toro

Came here with a friend who was in town to see the sights--amazing choice! She used to live in Spain so knew tapas well, and we chose all of her favorites and one dish recommended by the waitress (Pulpo). Favorite dish was surprisingly simple--the pan con tomate, with a side of jamon iberico. A mix of flavors that just worked, and a side of garlic brought more flavor to an already flavorful dish.The croquettes were divine--I've honestly never had them made this way, in small balls with a sauce, and every bite was perfectly crispy and savory. Third best dish was the patatas bravas, which was so simple but beyond delicious. The Pulpo was unfortunately our least favorite dish, but we went into it knowing that we might not enjoy it. I have no doubt that it was prepared well, but the char taste combined with the texture, and saltiness were not for us. We left so full and had no room for dessert, but they did have a good selection. They also started serving brunch on weekends so I may have to come back for that! Overall, I'd say this restaurant has the most authentic tapas experience in the area.

Great restaurant!Pros - LocationDecorWait staffGreat for intimate dining Great for large crowdsExcellent barFood delicious Con - Can't think of any!

New tapas spot that just opened down the road from me so I had to go check it out! The place is gorgeous and service was relatively fine, but I feel like quality really started decreasing as the night went on.We started our first round of food with drinks, a cheese board, pinchos, and bacon wrapped dates. Everything came out within a reasonable time and were delicious, especially the pinchos!Then we went for round 2 and got the pan con tomate, lamb chops, shrimp, croquettes, and another round of drinks and that's where things suffered a bit. My friend got her drink, had a couple of sips, and realized it was wrong. Our waiter apologized and sent out the right drink, but then took hers back in to throw out. We thought that was super weird since usually if a restaurant makes a mistake like that, they let you keep the incorrect item and they don't take it back just to toss it out.The lambs and pan con tomate were good, but the shrimp was so overcooked it felt like chewing on rubber and the croquettes never came out! We decided we probably wanted another dish with the croquettes so we got the albondigas and asked for the croquettes again. It took a while for them to finally bring out both dishes and after one bite of each, there was just something off about both of them which was super disappointing.Overall I think Silla del toro has a lot of potential! If the food stayed as consistent as the first round of tapas I'd be more inclined to give this place a 4-5 star review!

10/10 customer service! This restaurant is sooo beautiful and so classy ! It's definitely a great date night location as well! Free parking. The food is all tapas and comes out quickly ! Everything is literally a 10/10. It's aesthetically pleasing as well! I will definitely be coming back here! Best food I've had at a restaurant in a while no complaints!

Went for a quick snack! They have a great patio if weather is nice and beautiful decor inside.

We went to Silla del Toro after a Sunday tour of Carlos Museum. The restaurant was small, intimate, comfortable and very pretty.Since we arrived at 2pm on a Sunday they were still serving brunch. So one of our group ordered the French toast which had all of us drooling. Several of us ordered very Spanish fare- a charcuterie board, salads, and an assortment of tapas. There was an assortment of empanadas, fried calamari, meatballs- all reasonably priced!The staff was very welcoming & told us how each dish was prepared. Great service!I want to come back and try the paella!

We had a perfect birthday dinner here! The tapas were amazing (we loved the skirt steak, croquetas, shrimp, salad, dates, and patatas bravas), perfect desserts (a great portion of churros and a lava chocolate cake) and drinks (the build your own gin and tonic was so fun) when the bill came we also spent much less than we were expecting, it's a great value for the quantity & quality of food! Our waiter was lovely & kind and knowledgeable about my nut allergy. Will definitely be back!

Love the fact that an upscale restaurant has opened with an outdoor patio in Toco Hills. It almost feels out of place but in the best possible way. Living in the neighborhood we had received a $10 off coupon in the mail and thought we'd put it to good use. Arriving just after 6:30 pm on a Friday evening without a reservation, we were told the wait would be about 30 minutes. They take down your number and text you when your table is ready. It only ended up being less than 15 minutes and we were able to sit on the patio. Service was excellent and everyone we encountered from the hostess to the person bussing tables was extremely welcoming. Food came out really fast, and interestingly, in the order in which we ordered it - that meant that the olives we threw in at the end of the initial order came out last when you might expect it to be more towards the beginning. A few standouts: -Chorizo Iberico: was served with a honey I couldn't get enough of, and the sausage itself was good-Pulpo parrilla: so tender and flavorful!-Andalusian gazpacho: my bf really liked this. I think gazpacho is weird. -Crème brûlée cheesecake: the best of both desserts! But didn't like the crust. It felt under baked.We didn't love:-Spanish olives: a little too acidic with the orange marinade -Pinchos: small portion and extremely dry beefFor drinks, I had the Prado Daisy, a tequila cocktail, and it was flavorful and well balanced. My bf selected from among the gin and tonic "create your own" - how cool!We can't wait to come back and try more things. The prices were very reasonable especially when you consider other tapas places like the Iberian Pig. Plenty of free parking out front and places to shop (J. Crew Factory, Bath and Body Works, Ulta) while you wait for a table.

I recently visited Silla del Toro with a friend, and it was an incredible experience. The restaurant offers three different menus: a food menu with cocktails, sangria, and beer on the back, and a two-sided wine menu. I enjoyed a custom gin drink with grapefruit, rosemary, tonic, and pink peppercorns, while my friend also had a gin drink. The ability to create custom gin drinks with various ingredients is a fantastic feature of this place.We decided to get a few different tapas, and each one was delightful. The chuletas de cordero ahumadas, which are Turner New Zealand marinated lamb chops with salsa verde and saffron aioli, were particularly outstanding. The lamb chops were tender, and the sauce complemented them perfectly. I also tried sardines for the first time and found them surprisingly good. The gambas al ajillo (shrimp with garlic, cherry, and parsley) were very flavorful and enjoyable. The chicken-filled empanadas were excellent, served two per plate.One of the highlights of our visit was the presentation of the food, which was impeccable. The bartender, Rossi, was phenomenal, and the other waitstaff were friendly and attentive.Overall, the experience was memorable, and I look forward to returning to try more of their tapas. Silla del Toro is definitely worth a visit!

Do not go here unless you want a fantastic ambiance, amazing food, and excellent customer service. If any of these things interest you, keep reading! I recommend you make reservations, as it tends to be busy on the weekends. We were seated quickly, and our waitress was so lovely and attentive. The food was amazing, and I didn't have one thing I didn't like! My favorite things on the menu are the calamari and Patatas Bravas. I will definitely be back!!
