Tapa Toro

Server was super knowledgeable and very kind. He let us know that so much is labeled GF but it’s not actually celiac safe. None of the tapas are gluten free (celiac safe) even though they are label that way due to being in the same frier oil as anything else. Some entrees are gluten free. It’s 3 stars because our server was wonderful and went above and beyond for us. But frustrated because I couldn’t eat anything.

I was with a large party who chose to eat at a nearby bar that offered no gluten-free options. I sat at the bar here and asked what the gluten-free possibilities were and the bartender, and later the manager did an excellent job of sharing my options. I ultimately decided on the paella which was truly outstanding. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone, even though it’s fairly pricey, the food quality is very high and they were very attentive and knowledgeable.

The server was not knowledgeable. The music was so loud he could hardly hear me. I felt SICK and got a headache right after eating. We were there a whole 3 hours and they didn't charge anyone correctly. Meals are at least $30 and only decent. CELIAC'S DO NOT EAT HERE.

Food was very average and quite pricey. I got excited when I saw most items were marked GF. When those dishes came out they all had bread on the dish, I had asked the waiter if the bread was GF and he said no. A bit misleading that the items were marked GF and came out otherwise. Service, ambiance, and drinks were great. They have live dancers that dance right by the tables. If coeliac or otherwise I would be extremely cautious of this place for food!

Other Characteristics

• Good for lunch

Many items marked GF on menu still came out with bread on dish. Guacamole comes with crostini’s, and when asked, the kitchen has no GF chips available. Emailed after dining was told that they note GF on menu items where the main part of the dish is gluten free.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was very knowledgeable and were very accommodating. It was very comforting the amount of care they took in ensuring us it was gf since my wife is a celiac. Highly highly recommend!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Food was pretty good, but I was nervous because the staff didn’t show understanding or concern about my Celiac Disease and asking about cross contamination. Went for it anyways and thankfully didn’t get sick. I doubt I would ever go back, strictly due to the staff.

Food was soooo good! Had to order a second round of the garlic shrimp. Fun, lively vibe with great dancers. Such a great dinner!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The menu have all GF items clear mark on the menu. Good food, however, the service is very slow. The Tapas portion was small. The Pork belly only have 2 small pieces of pork and the pork rinds were marked as a hot tapas but it was from a bag. The potatoes and the shrimp were delicious and the portions were acceptable.
