Started the night with a red wine sangria. It definitely hit the spot. Ordered the lamb barbocoa in banana leaf which came with pickles, salsa and tortilla. The lamb was exquisitely soft and fell apart.

Little place but not squishy, good space and a beautiful bar . Delicate and good tasty Mexican food. Have to try their mocktail with passion fruit !!! And the salmon tartare with fried nori is also special and fantastic !!! The tempera fish taco is so yummy !!!They also have outside sitting with heater on

Black Toro was one of the earlier Latin American restaurants to hit Melbourne’s contemporary dining scene. It opened back in 2012 in Glen Waverley and has just launched a second inner-city venue on the Windsor end of Chapel Street. Black Toro Windsor (formerly Shukah) is a blessing for those who appreciate well-executed Latin street food but don’t want to travel quite as far East to get it. The menu is similar if not slightly more extensive than Glen Waverley, showcasing snacks, tacos, tostadas and a selection of mostly meaty mains.

After reading all the positive reviews about The Black Toro, I was pretty excited to try it!
We started with the Jalapeño & Cheese Croquettes, White Fish Ceviche and the Prawn Quesadilla! (AMAZING!)
Also pictured were the Soft Shell Tacos and Wagyu Beef Sliders.
This restaurant did not disappoint at all! Service was fantastic and quick, the food was faultless.
I can’t wait to come back!

Interesting place hidden on Kingsway @ Glen Waverley.

Staff were polite and attentive .

Service 5/5
Atmosphere 5/5
Food 3/5 (-1 for size)
Price 3/5

Small portions for mains and more like tasting plates for their medium.

Ordered their fish and beef cheeks.
Fish 4/5 🐟
Beef cheeks 2/5 🐂
The presentation was bit lacking .. spring onion strip 😂. Tough and corn salsa needs a bit more work.

Couldn't fault the flavours, very tasty dishes! However I'm a tiny girl with a big appetite 😋 would love more portions. I had the BBQ ½ Chicken but I was still hungry for more.

😱Lizzie’s first impression: this is possibly one of the best Mexican restaurant I’ve been to in Melbourne. Although situated all the way in Glen Waverley, I think it’s worth travelling for.

🍩Lizzie enjoyed: it was my first time trying white fish ceviche and it turned out to be so delicious - I loved the citrus flavours and the melon. We tried he prawn quesadillas and they were really different and nice - like a little cracker with a warm cooked prawn filling. The tacos were amazing - we tried the soft shell crab ones and it was really flavoursome.

🍅Lizzie did not enjoy: the main lamb dish was a bit of a let down - I almost rather ordering different tacos instead of a DIY - it needed some sauce as the slaw and the lamb just didn’t cut it.

🥇Lizzie rates overall: a great place to go to for a date night or a celebration for something. I think prices are quite affordable especially for the quality

Very good selection of South American cuisines. The "feed me" option is our best recommendation. Pulled pork tacos was also a favourite

Always a great experience. I used to go to the one in Chapel st that unfortunately closed down. I always ask the Feed Me Banquet which is plenty of food and an amazing desert platter. The service was excellent too. Absolutely recommend it.

This place is phenomenal. Went for anniversary dinner. Food was mouth watering. Service was quick and friendly . Would give 9.5. The only recommendation I would have is to upgrade the sponge cake on the dessert board as it was a bit boring compared to the rest of the menu. All in all can’t wait to eat here again.

Service staff was outstanding, you really should try the maracuya and the braised short rib, simplistic but such amazing flavour not to mention the ribs were very tender.

Went here for dinner and sat outside under the marquee. It was a bit cold despite the heaters but much easier to hear each other than inside. Food was delicious! We opted to order our own instead of the banquet. A mixture of starters, tacos and then the lamb and pork larger dishes. Finished off with the dessert tasting board.

I was skeptical of this place as I am not a fan of tapas. Boy was I wrong - the food here is absolutely delicious and the serving sizes are not stingy. The ambience is fantastic too. My only recommendation is for the wait staff to relax a little when asking diners if they are ready to order, but I suspect this is only because they want their patrons to taste the fantastic meals that are on offer!
