TORO

On my more recent trip to Boston to visit my sister, we took my boyfriend to celebrate his birthday at our favorite tapas restaurant in the city Toro.


The lineup:
Hot green peppers with sea salt
Chicken and potato empanadas
pepper, and aged cheese
Roasted bone marrow with radish citrus salad and oxtail marmalade
Crispy pork belly with sunchoke, escargots, fava beans and smoked maple crumble
and my personal favorite, Grilled corn with alioli, lime, espelette, and aged cheese.





Toro's best kept secret: Perro Picante
Hendrick's gin, spicy pepper syrup, grapefruit, cayenne sugar and salt rim.

A minor mistake on our homemade perro picantes ended up revealing a new key ingredient. Cumin instead of Cayenne. Pure genious and by far the most delicious drink I've ever tasted.
