24 Best Restaurants in Boston

"It’s a feat for any restaurant to stay open for (nearly) twenty years, and it’s even more of a feat for that restaurant to retain its relevance through and through. That’s how any local would describe Toro, the South End spot which was an early adopter of the chef-driven tapas movement. It’s got all the classics such as croquetas and pan con tomate, as well as some more inventive options like an uni bocadillo sandwich with miso butter and pickled mustard seeds. Whether you’re a seasoned vet who knows your jamón iberico from your jamón serrano, or you’re a first-timer to ordering tapas, Toro makes Spanish cuisine approachable. Pro tip: in the warmer months, the back patio is one of the South End’s best spots to pull up a seat, order some cocktails, and indulge in a parade of small bites. You’ll almost–almost–feel like you’re in Spain." - Todd Plummer, Shannon McMahon
