A Bit of Background
Now, if you didn’t already know, Gerardo de Anda opened the first Toro restaurant in Stone Oak back in 2017 after a hair-raising experience with a bull named Caramelo during Spain’s Running of the Bulls. This encounter inspired him to bring a slice of Spain to Texas, and boy, has he succeeded!
At the helm of the kitchen is Chef Juan Bazaan, who is driving the expanded Toro concept to new culinary heights. Just look around the dining rooms, and you’ll spot artistic depictions of the bull Caramelo as a nod to the restaurant’s unique history and inspiration.
Recognized for Authenticity
Recently, Toro received well-deserved recognition with certification from Restaurants from Spain. This accolade highlights their unwavering commitment to presenting real Spanish cuisine. This makes them the only restaurant in San Antonio to hold such a certification, which is quite a feather in their cap.
