    Toro by Chef Richard Sandoval offers a well-executed fusion of Latin and Asian flavors in an elegant yet relaxed setting. The ambiance is modern and inviting, with beautifully plated dishes that reflect the restaurant’s creativity and attention to detail. The ceviche was a vibrant start, with fresh seafood complemented by citrus, chiles, and herbs, offering a balanced mix of heat and acidity. The octopus was perfectly charred and tender, served with a creamy sauce that enhanced its smoky depth. The truffle mashed potatoes were rich and velvety, with crispy roasted potatoes adding a textural contrast. The sushi roll was visually appealing and packed with bold flavors, though slightly overpowered by the sauces. Service was professional and attentive, with staff ensuring a smooth dining experience. While most dishes impressed, a few elements—like slightly heavy-handed seasoning on some plates—kept this from being a perfect five-star experience.
