"Toro is one of the city’s most popular restaurants, period. Open for almost two decades in the South End, the crowd-favorite spot serves modern and traditional Spanish plates ranging from two-bite pintxos to elaborate dishes pairing seafood and charcuterie with rich, bold flavors that keep the crowds lining up at this energetic restaurant. Definitely eat your way through plenty of small plates, but try the paella, too. Must-try dish: Every meal should start with an order of Toro’s decadent take on pan con tomate, topped with anchovies." - Erika Adams
