"Toro is a South End mainstay. Perhaps the most beloved among Ken Oringer and his former partner Jamie Bissonnette’s collaborations (the two parted ways in 2023), this Washington Street spot serves Spanish tapas like grilled octopus and patatas bravas. And don’t forget to order the Ibérico ham. (Oringer’s Italian enoteca, Coppa, which is on Shawmut Avenue, is also worth checking out. Especially if you enjoy cured meats.)" - Erika Adams
