Choice Pan-Latin dishes with Asian influences, cocktails & a stylish patio in a sleek hotel setting.
"An open secret in Cherry Creek, the cozy courtyard flanking Richard Sandoval’s Pan Latin refuge in the Hotel Clio is prime date-night real estate. Here’s a place to cuddle up discreetly over passion fruit margaritas and Oaxacan Old Fashioneds alongside smoked swordfish dip with plantain chips, blackened tuna tacos with poblano tartar sauce, and lomo saltado in cumin demi-glace and sesame oil. (Or come for brunch, when bottomless mango mimosas and shrimp-and-corn enchiladas await.)" - Gigi Sukin, Ruth Tobias
"In true Richard Sandoval style, the kitchen of this stylish hideaway in the Hotel Clio laces its pan-Latin cuisine with Asian influences, resulting in the likes of lobster quesadillas with avocado-yuzu puree, sweet-and-sour lomo saltado, achiote-marinated salmon with dashi-braised bok choy and bacon morita jam, and pork belly tacos with kimchi slaw — the latter a feature of Toro’s prix fixe “bottomless brunch” on weekends. Cocktails burst with the bright flavors of passion fruit and pineapple, hibiscus and chiles." - Ruth Tobias, Gigi Sukin, Eater Staff
"A set three-course menu of clam-corn chowder with sourdough croutons and chestnut oil; turkey roulade with cranberry-mezcal gravy and sweet potato causa; and a red wine pear tart with pumpkin ice cream is on offer until 8 p.m. at Richard Sandoval’s Cherry Creek restaurant ($52 per person)." - Ruth Tobias, Eater Staff

"Toro Latin Kitchen & Lounge is a new restaurant by Richard Sandoval combining Latin American and Asian cuisines, opening next year in Cherry Creek. It replaces Social Fare Denver Dining & Drinks and will offer a ceviche bar and unique menu items. Toro features small plates like short rib tacos and Parmesan-crusted scallops, as well as steaks and special entrees. The cocktail menu focuses on Latin spirits with classics like Old Fashioneds and Mules." - Paul Albani-Burgio
