This place is a hidden gem on the Halifax waterfront, with friendly service and vivid flavours. My husband and I were very impressed with their shareable seafood platter and charcuterie board which were both not only very authentic Spanish cuisine utilizing the array of fresh Atlantic local seafood here but also some of the best portion sizes we have received for years in a Halifax restaurant downtown for reasonable prices.

We got an almond salad to start it was really good, however the paella was not good. We had high hopes as the description of the restaurant made it sound like the paella was their specialty however it was very underwhelming. Our waiter was very nice.

Great service and the food was excellent. I had the Pollo Con Chorizo and it was superb. The chicken, chorizo, and garlic lemon potatoes were spot on. My wife had the Caesar salad and garlic lemon potatoes. The caesar was amazing, and she loves lemon potatoes. We were too stuffed for dessert. Great experience.

Friendly and quick service. Ordered the paella valanciana mixta which was quite good - included shrimps, mussels, chorizo and chicken thighs. Good portion for at least 4 ppl. Appetizers were salmon con pepinilos - just average. Patatas Bravas - potatoes cooked nicely and well seasoned.

I had the best wine ever ! Called "most wanted", delicious ! We had the atlantica Paella with seafood and lobster and very very good. There was 3 of us and it was plenty. We also had a charcuterie board to start with ! The waitress was sooo nice. Very lovely girl.

The Los Toros restaurant delivered a delightful experience with its delicious paella, which tasted almost like it was straight from Spain. The sangria, recommended by our friendly and attentive waiter, was also very good. The waitstaff's friendliness and care added to the overall enjoyment of the meal.

Los Toros Restaurant provided a delightful dining experience that exceeded my expectations. From the warm welcome to the flavorful dishes, every aspect of my visit was exceptional. The ambiance was inviting, the service was attentive, and the food was simply exquisite. I particularly enjoyed the authentic flavors of their spanish cuisine, which were expertly prepared and presented with care. I highly recommend Los Toros to anyone seeking a memorable culinary experience.

We wantes ro try something different for our last nigth in Halifax. Spanish food was a good choice we ordered à plater of cured meat and à Paella. There was five of us and we had plenty of food.it was really well done. Servir was really nice and made home made limonade for the kids. It was pretty quiet for a Thursday nigth. Not sure why. If you have a chance go and try it. Dietary restrictions: Allergies to peanut was not an issue.

The beautiful atmosphere, the food is super delicious, the brunch menu is different from the lunch one. If you want sea food, order both to review, although there was only one girl serving, she made it excellent, very friendly, for lovers of sea food the Super good sea food paella, the delicious churros are 3 medium units, the accompanying chocolate is a little liquid but tasty. Latin music ideal for friends, family and real work. Inside it is small but cozy.

I wouldnt even give this food a one star, I bought four kids cheeseburgers with french fries and three iced teas and my bill was $100 without tip. The hamburgers were smaller than my palm and on a large bun full of ketchup and the burgers were burnt. I would never go here again but my waitress who is Spanish and said she was new was excellent and we loved her, we did not love the food.

Ordered from Uber eats crispy fried octopus it was delivered to me soggy and bland. The food portions were very small and underwhelming, definitely not worth the cost. I called the restaurant in Spanish, as its supposed to be an authentic Spanish restaurant and the employee on the phone answered with apathy and hangup within a couple of seconds, ignoring any subsequent calls. I do not recommend this restaurant and for this price range, the city has much better options to offer regarding food quality and experience

As a spanish restaurant, we order 2 Sangria, one is red wine sangria another is white(i guess?) They both taste good! Of course, Paella is a must in a spanish restaurant. We ordered Paella Marinera. I am a bit disappointed as the rice i had i dont think it is spanish rice/bomba rice). Also, there is a strong frozen smell in shrimp. Medallones de res( AAA beef tenderloin) is okay but i love the side dish more tgan the beef. There is about $100/pp. Although is a bit expense, i think the price is still acceptable as the location and there is not much spanish restsurant in HRM.

Here is a review from a real Spaniard! The most mediocre food, the churros very small and only three. The chocolate came in a cup of coffee, the tumaca bread without ham was very good (although, even though it included ham on the menu, they didnt lower the price after I asked for it without ham). My only problem was that the portions were too small and the price too high. But hey, I guess you cant ask for more, since we are not in Spain Vegetarian options: There are hardly any options.

The music was also great. 10/10 experience, would 100% recommend!

To be honest I just came to this place by accident. We were looking for a place to eat before the first Canada hockey game, every restaurant and bar was so packed we couldnt get in we worked our way down the hill and basically stumble upon this place. I just had a hamburger and french fries so I wasnt into anything fancy it was delicious, the fries are actually really really good, my buddy had calamari he did not like it at all, but I disagreed with him I thought it was really good. Our waiter was outstanding by the way, he knew why we were there and just kept bringing the beer .God love him. Ill probably go back and try out the real food for sure.... I hope I get the same waiter

Not at all what is represented on their website! This place was near the water .. yes.. only good thing..was pretty at first until you realized it smelled like an old pub .. there were what appeared to be dock workers looking for somewhere to hangout and drink for the afternoon or seasoned drinkers who were there from the night before .. we couldn t tell! Friendly female bartender who tended to us in a corner table.. we appeared to be the only people there to eat.. upon presenting the menu she made her way back to chat and socialize with the little group of male drinkers who sat at the bar as though it was their own personal daytime kitchen party! It was cooler inside and the menu was not at all what was shown on the website.. very odd.. as though somebody else bought the place,, changed it to a pub with appetizers and forget to change the website .. very odd ! We left without ordering, after using the washroom which was surprisingly clean.. cute location but not what is portrayed online !

If youre looking for a restaurant that offers a true taste of Spain, look no further than Los Toros. I recently visited this establishment and was blown away by the quality of the food and the level of service provided. One of the standout features of Los Toros is their pintxos. These small plates are a staple of Spanish cuisine and are perfect for sharing with friends or trying a variety of different flavors. The pintxos at Los Toros are simply exquisite, with a range of ingredients and flavor combinations that are sure to delight your taste buds. If youre a fan of paella, then you simply have to try the version offered at Los Toros. Its cooked to perfection with a beautiful golden crust and is packed full of fresh seafood and other ingredients that transport you straight to the Mediterranean coast. The portion sizes are generous too, so you can enjoy a hearty and satisfying meal. And of course, no visit to Los Toros would be complete without trying their churros. These sweet treats are the perfect way to round off a meal, and the ones served at Los Toros are simply divine. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and served with a rich, decadent chocolate dipping sauce, theyre the perfect indulgence. Overall, I cant recommend Los Toros highly enough. The food is exceptional, the service is friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Whether youre a seasoned fan of Spanish cuisine or youre looking to try something new, this restaurant is a must-visit.

If youre looking for a stunning waterfront location with delicious tapas and an atmosphere that will transport you to Spain, look no further than Los Toros. This restaurant is a must-visit for anyone who loves great food, beautiful decor, and a fantastic view. From the moment you step inside, youre greeted with warm, inviting decor that immediately sets the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. The attention to detail is evident in every corner of the restaurant, from the ornate tile work to the glass wine wall. But its not just the decor that sets Los Toros apart - its the food. The tapas selection is simply outstanding, with each dish bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. Whether youre in the mood for classic dishes like patatas bravas and Spanish tortilla, or you want to try something new like the pulpo a la gallega (octopus with paprika and potatoes), you wont be disappointed. Of course, the waterfront location is another standout feature of Los Toros. As you enjoy your meal, youll be treated to stunning views of the harbor and the nearby boats, creating a truly memorable dining experience. Overall, I cant recommend Los Toros enough. The decor, the location, and the tapas all come together to create an experience thats simply unforgettable. So whether youre a local or just visiting Halifax, be sure to put Los Toros at the top of your list of must-visit restaurants.

Los Toros was located well just off the boardwalk in Halifax, this made for a great location and vibe. The food was great and the portions reflected the price.

Great little place. Menu feels authentic.. food tasted less so. We ordered the crispy baby octopus (delicious!) And the valenciana pallella. This had decent flavour (rosemary, saffron and tumeric), but had no crispy rice like I am used to (probably spoiled since eating pallella in Barcelona). Serving size was great (easily 3 full adults could eat it) and all seafood, chorizo and chicken inside were cooked wonderfully. Staff were very friendly, helpful and fast! Would go again, but would probably order an entre instead of the pallella.

We were so disappointed in the food at this restaurant. We love eating out and love Spanish cuisine but this was an expensive mistake. The sangria was sweet & watered down, I rarely don t finish a drink & I didn t finish this. The octopus was overcooked and rubbery with a heavy sauce. The Serrano ham in the salad was not very fresh. The bill was extraordinary for mediocre food. We wanted to find a place to enjoy Spanish food & did not find it here.

Decided to try this place one sunny afternoon as they have a gorgeous deck for seating outside. I have never had authentic Spanish food so I have nothing to compare with. There was no wait and I was seated right away. The service was impeccable, the drinks were cold and the food looked beautiful. The San Sabatian Serrano sailboat appetizers were fun and tasty. My main dish was flavourful but it was extremely oily. Not sure if that is normal but it was inedible to my standards. Over all nice place for a drink in the sun and an appetizer.

All the dishes were a stand out with the Paella and the hamburger being very memorable. The hamburger was the best that I can remember. The burger was tender and juicy and it had a spectacular char and crust to it. The service was excellent and friendly. Please drop in and give them a try and then let us all know what your thoughts are. Happy Eats everyone.

Honestly, the food was very average. I was expecting a lot more value and flavor on the $28 lobster roll. It was small and pretty pathetic. Definitely overpriced for what you are getting.

I cant rate them accurately as we only had a beer and teas. We checked out their menu. A much pricer spot than others in the past. This spot has always had a lovely patio and view....

Great service, good food - the scallops and the churros were delicious. The seafood was extremely overcooked in the Atlantica paella but the rice had wonderful flavour.

Beautiful Patio and great location right on the water, ate a bunch of different tapas, was very happy with prawns patatas bravas and squid. Sangria was good but nothing spectacular, I think next time instead of dinner I will enjoy the sun for happy hour.

Dry friendly staff, great menu variety, gluten free options available(ask and don t go by the menu gf labels), nice patio and view. Not Spanish and authentic. It is a Mexican adaptation of Spanish food.

Update: last visit wasnt positive for the following, a) we ordered a meal (as it says) serves 2 to 3 ppl, in reality it wasnt enough for one. Ginger Ale was a colored water only. Unfortunately my experience lately was not satisfactory. I will not change below my first and scond experience Location, is excellent in spite of the issue of the parking. The location in downtown is excellent. No free parking you should expect to walk. Layout and decorations, wonderful, cozy and spacious. Decorations and layout done perfectly. Service is excellent and friendly. The waitress and waiters are friendly, well knowledgeable of the ingredients and professional services. I like how they talk with customers and take the jokes. communication is 5 Waiting to be seated, we had a reservation and we were seated immediately. Waiting te for service and time to get the food was within expectations and plausible. Taste, it is the real Italian food, spaghetti tase excellent, salmon plate even better. I liked the food. The presentation of the plate was professional. Plate were full and rich Cleanliness, the place cleaning was plausible. Prices is $$ however it is worth it. Conclusion, I am coming back. And if you want to try something new. Try this one.

Got here for an authentic Spanish paella and couldn t have gone for a worst place. The food was tasteless and the price . Wow, they charge as if they were the most fantastic place on earth. I should say that the food was still somehow edible, but you don t pay these prices to get edible food I could have gone to Tim Hortons, paid a fraction and still had a better experience. I consider this as tourist trap. You can absolutely come here but keep your expectations low.

Delicious Spanish tapas and paella. Reasonable prices for groups willing/ wanting to share dishes. The trucks doing delivery to local businesses during the meal were off-putting on the patio. The food and friendly staff made up for it.

Tasteless Paella a so disappointing experience. Perhaps our disappointment is owed to our mediterranean origins and familiarity with Spanish dishes, but the Paella was truly soulless , and very far from being called as such. Nothing had a taste, apart the mussels. Maybe it s the ingredients, the fish, the spices, or all together..anyway, this plate whole needs a real reconsideration, including the presentation. The menu says serve 2-3 persons . I don t know how this statement relate to the plate we were served . But quantity is a very minor comment here. I would like to mention however the friendliness and professionalism of staff who served us. Other than that, it was a pure waste of money of the $66 it costs.

Ordered the seafood paella for 2-3 people and the churros. Paella was more than enough for 2 people. If you were 3 hungry eaters however, might not be enough. In terms of taste - great! However, I would have liked to have tasted the spices a bit more. It seems like the prawns is what captured the most flavour. Although one shrimp did not seemed to be deveined, the rest were. The shells on 1-2 of the prawns were pretty hard to get off, but then again it s paella, you need to use your hands! Churros were amazing - fresh, warm, crunchy on the outside, doughy in the middle. The chocolate dipping sauce was not necessary, but was not the best given that it seemed milk/watered down (or maybe it was the type of chocolate syrup used). Service was top! I believe our waiter s name was Ryan. He was quick, attentive and respectful. Great conversationalist as well. Nothing to complain there. Keep up the good work. We sat outside as it was a warm summer evening. There were some fruit flies, but not enough to bother us during our meal. The inside of the restaurant was very nice and clean, and so were the bathrooms. The location is weird due to it s proximity to the ferry terminal on one side and the Tim Hortons on the other. But honestly, if it was placed anywhere else, I imagine it would be at par with the other high end restaurants on the waterfront. In terms of price, it was all decent given the level of inflation we are dealing with in 2022 - $90. If anything I would say the Churros were on the expensive side for how many you get. Definitely recommend to quell that paella craving!

Enjoyed dinner tonight here as a couple. Easy to get into, casual, indoor or outdoor seating available. We shared a salad and two of the tapas dishes (shrimp and the chorizo sausage). Good wine and beer options. Perfect! Service was great and there were many other attractive options on the menu. Would not hesitate to recommend this place to friends and family.

Went here for the first time and it was really nice. Great view even though it was quite wet outside, although I did find that the server was a little too prompt at his job and felt like almost to eat and be rush out of there, not sure why since there was only two other tables beside mine. Would definitely go back

Food is not bad, but not Spanish at all. Not even close. It says authentic Spanish, but it should be called chorizo restaurant. They even served chorizo for cooking as charcuterie. And they put it in the paella!!! Thats a crime in Spain. Call it rice with chorizo, not paella... The pulpo a la gallega is in the photos. Nooo, its nothing similar to Spanish, but its eatable if hungry.
