AltaToro

"Skillets of seafood paella, colorful ceviches, and salsa dancing aren’t the only things served at AltaToro in Midtown these days. The high-energy tapas restaurant now offers weekend brunch, starting at 11 a.m. Look for dishes like churro chicken and waffles, mezcal-cured salmon tostadas, and the Toro breakfast burrito stuffed with pork sausage, potatoes, onions, tomatoes, jalapenos, eggs, and mole negro avocado crema fresca." - Henna Bakshi

"AltaToro in Midtown is serving a Thanksgiving buffet featuring a turkey and prime rib carving station, pollo relleno, stuffing, arepas, ceviche, empanadas, croquetas, chorizo, and flan, among a variety of other dishes. $65 per person. $20 for children 12 and under. Reservations required." - Eater Staff

"AltaToro is mentioned as a favorite new restaurant by multiple readers." - Beth McKibben

"After an evening of eating, drinking, and dancing, the Latin American restaurant in Midtown will turn around and open for brunch on New Year’s Day." - Beth McKibben

"With its glossy magazine covers and social media onslaught, this modern Latin opening snuck up on nobody. But coming from the colorful team that brought 5Church, we didn’t expect any less fanfare. The new Midtown address has curated art, a lively bar, and a whimsical 20-foot tree centerpiece. Nightly entertainment draws the business types and folks who require social media documentation of their “interesting” lives. But fire twirlers are not the only show. The kitchen has moves, too, taking inspiration from places such as El Salvador and Mexico to create shareable gambas al ajill and a smokey chicken tamal plate. Unfortunately, the two-person seafood paella isn’t the showstopper it could be because the rice lacks flavor—which is a shock, seeing as how there’s so much of it everywhere else.
