Toro Eats and Treats — Restaurant in Ottawa

Prepare yourself for a pleasant surprise

I work in the downtown core now and have access to many new and different options for lunch that are all walking distance. Every Tuesday for the last month I heard my co-workers say taco tuesday ($1 off tacos) so I finally decided to try this place out, courtesy of the Ritual app. I decided to try the campechano tacos for my first visit. 2 tacos for $9 seems a bit much, and at first sight that was the impression I got when i received my order. Just wait till you bite into these things, you will be surprised as the meat serving is quite generous, theres a huge chunk of barbacoa and carnitas hidden under the fresh and and tasty garnishings. The ingredients complement eachother very well and give a taste of authenticity, although the meat was slightly bland, the other ingredients more than made up for that. The house made tortillas put the tacos together delectibaly and made this taco taste like I was in Mexico. I also added a side of homemade guacamole (i love guacamole and make it at home all the time). I felt the guac was lacking, it was chunks of avocado as oppose to fully mashed avocado, and it didnt include the usually ingrediants liike tomatoes, onions, cilantro.

I have been to Toro twice - once for just treats and today for lunch and treats and each time the service and food were wonderful.

So far, my favourite cookie is the lemon cheesecake. I had the crunch wrap today and I enjoyed that as well. The portion sizes are good for the price you pay. I will definitely visit Toro again and will recommend this restaurant to my...

When looking for a caterer for a work lunch, I fell upon the Torro Taqueria website and noticed they had catering options. I had not heard of Torro previously. Located on Bank, I walked over and spoke to the owners to ask if they could cater for THE NEXT DAY. They were able to help me out. They prepared us a Build Your Own Taco Station for the office. IT WAS MORE THAN AMAZING. The staff could not stop saying how DELICIOUS the food was. Every ingredient was packaged separately. Very easy to lay out and prepare. The owners are amazing people. The food was amazing. The set up was amazing. If you want to support a local business - its this one ! I HIGHLY recommend Torro Taqueria! Will be going...
