“8/18/25
Our server was wonderful, accommodated to some strange requests.

- Patatas Bravas: mildly crispy, aioli and salsa had great flavor
- Entrants a la Parrilla: skirt steak
- Pintxos Morunos: my mom’s favorite of our orders; lamb dish.
- Pulpo a la Plancha

Everything we ordered was great.“

“In the heart of the South End, Toro is serving up Spanish-style Tapas in a great atmosphere with high quality service.

We made a reservation outdoors, but because of rain they were kind enough to accommodate and moved us to an indoor table. Our waiter, Michael, was so helpful in explaining the menu and giving recommendations, as this was our first time eating Tapas.

For the uninitiated, like we were, Tapas is small, shareable plates. They have a wide variety to choose from! We ended up getting Street Corn, Grilled Shrimp, Fried Potatoes served up “Bomb Style” with Pork Belly, sauces and fried egg, Cod Croquettes, and Steak. We were pleased by every choice!

Our total with 6 orders, tax and tip was $150.“

“10/10 our favorite restaurant. We drive about an hour to come here, and it's our favorite restaurant. The food is always amazing and the staff is incredible. Would always recommend this to everyone.“

“Run don't walk to Pagu for absolutely scrumptious food that weaves together Japanese and Spanish Basques Cuisines! A must order is the Tuna Collar - I've never had anything like it - it's huge, great for a crowd, bone-suckingly good (literally have done that) served with rice and nori! Also make sure you don't miss Tracy Chang's homemade nonalcoholic sparking teas - my favorites are the genmaicha and the hojicha - again I've never tasted a drink like this anywhere else. And then you have to end the night with a Basque Cheesecake - I particularly love when Pagu makes a seasonal Matcha or Ube Basque cheesecake! Pagu's dishes and drinks are across the board innovative but also welcoming and absolutely delicious!“

“I ordered my daughters 6th birthday cake from La Casa Del Pandebono and it literally the best experience I’ve ever had with any business. Not only was the custom cake beautiful and delicious, they provided a level of exceptional customer service that I didn’t even know existed. The “Tangled” cake included a beautiful edible gold crown as it’s center piece, and it was packaged separately. Despite my best efforts to handle it carefully, I accidentally broke it the night before the birthday party. I texted the owner asking if he has recommendations for me to reassemble it (knowing it was unlikely, but I was desperate). He immediately responded and asked for my address, letting me know he’d deliver a new one when he closed the store (I live in another town). I was shocked at his generosity and beyond grateful. As an expression of gratitude, a sent him an additional tip which he politely attempted to reject (I wouldn’t allow it…haha). In return, he delivered not only the grown, but an order of birria tacos and an empanada (which I was admiring when I went to pick up the cake) - literally the best tacos I’ve ever had. I cannot emphasize how touched I was by this experience. La Casa Del Pandebono is a rare gem - baked goods that are truly a work of art, and incredible food that is only surpassed by the unbelievable customer service. I will be a customer for life.“

“We are in Cambridge for a few nights and found Dali being a restaurant nearby. It turned out to be an unexpected surprise. Luckily we made reservation as the restaurant was packed. The menu was extensive; the service was friendly; the meal was served quickly and delicious and the atmosphere was great. We ordered 4 tapas plus an order of focaccia and a bottle of wine. All come to less than $100 not including tips. A must try in Cambridge, MA.“

“Food was awesome! Service was great too!“

“Food was great. Drinks were great. Service was great. What would have been great is if people didn't get kicked out through some back door to then have to wait in line again even though we had been there. Fine. You want earn more money by having people pay a $40 cover but maybe have people that are inside already pay like a $10 cover to be able to stay and NOT have to wait in line.“

“Cheers to moments that make life feel a little softer. 🍸

I stopped by Matadora for lunch while my daughter's dance competition was taking place at the Hilton Boston/Woburn, and I'm so glad I did! Since the restaurant is conveniently located inside the hotel, it was the perfect spot to relax between performances.

I ordered the kale quinoa salad, crab rangoon, and a sangria. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The salad was light yet filling, the crab rangoon was perfectly crispy with a delicious creamy filling, and the sangria was refreshing and the perfect addition to my meal.

The atmosphere was welcoming, the service was friendly and attentive, and it made for a great lunch break during a busy competition day. If you're staying at the Hilton or attending an event nearby, I definitely recommend stopping by Matadora!“
