Restaurant Overview:  Across Latin America, food is more than a meal.  It’s an event. It’s a celebration that’s shared, savored and enjoyed with the finest spirits.  Join us in this ritual.  We welcome you to Toro, Richard Sandoval’s Restaurant and Rum Bar, that features a casually unique upbeat dining experience.  Toro will have a small plate menu along with a Suviche (Sushi & Ceviche combination) bar food offering at the restaurant’s lively and energetic Rum Bar setting.
