Toro Toro D.C. - Washington, D.C.

Good Ccubano sandwich, also recommend the swordfish dip.

Horrible experience. I made a reservation but when we got there it was seat yourself and order at the bar. There was one bartender for the whole restaurant. This was also a downtown DC restaurant that closes at 7 which is unheard of. Then we wasted 45 min of the only two hours that they were open after work waiting in line for drinks. Got our own food from the side of the bar. There was other staff around all standing around doing nothing including the manager who just watched all the guests be absolutely miserable. We were nudged out at 7:15 pm. Never going back.

I attended Toro Toro for happy hour and made the reservation via OpenTable but there was no point because once we got there, we were told to seat ourselves and that all orders needed to place at the bar. We waited to place our orders at the bar for over 20 mins. The guacamole was worth the wait, but the rest of the menu items were not. We also had to return to the bar to pick up our own food. While the prices were reasonable and the guac was exceptional the rest of the experience was not.

Had reservations and never got seated. Turns out it’s only a happy hour spot and you wait in a long line even with reservations to order a drink and then find your own seat. There was at least 5-6 other groups or couples that ended up leaving just as we did. There was absolutely no one there to great you and explain this. Instead I waisted 30 minutes trying to figure it out. When I tried calling, there was no answer or information. Truly one of the most bizarre ways I have had horrible service or no service!

HH Review-- Honestly, this is my go to HH spot They have drink specials Monday through Friday for cocktails, beer, and wine.
