CHEWED GUM FOUND IN FOOD. We were given a small dish of…read moreroasted nuts and decided to try them. One of my friends stopped chewing and looked in horror at what she pulled out of her mouth. Someone had stuck their chewed gum in the peanut dish. I signaled the waiter at the bar and let him and another guy standing there know what had just happened. The other man standing there actually said, "Yeah, that happens a lot. . .but usually people stick their gum under the table." There was no attempt by anyone to come over and apologize nor to see what could be done to help rectify our experience. My other friend who had gone to the bathroom while all of this was going on, said that the bathroom was left very sloppily- a trash bag left in the sink, wet floor that someone could have slipped on.... not a good first experience, to say the least.

They used to be light and crispy (and homemade) and just perfect overall. This time they were thicker corn chips and felt like they may have been store bought. Maybe it was just for that day? This is the only reason for the drop to 4 stars.

However everything looked good. They also have lunch ready early in the morning. I had the pan con lechón which was HUGE . The pork was actually pork instead of ham. And it was packed with meat. The pork was flavorful, but it was dry. The cortadito was good. I had a small sancocho which I was not a fan. My brother had a plate with yucca, pork and Moro rice and he loved it. He says he goes every time he is In the area. I personally was not a fan of the sandwich or the sancocho. But i would check them out since is something different in the area.

The sweet corn empanada with aji amarillo, avocado puree, manchego cheese and chimichurri that was light, savory and a nice flavor profile. Our final selection was the Cusco chicken sandwich with sweet plantains, salad, avacado and chimichurri aioli. The plantain was delicious and woke up an ordinary chicken sandwich. It was a great addition. I enjoyed our lunch but feel that I need to try the dinner menu. The mixing of fruit with entrees was a welcome change. To the kitchen at Toro, keep up the innovative menu.

The coffee was great, but sadly the empanadas didn't meet the hype. They tasted a bit old, and had hardly any filling in them. The price point was about $25 for an iced coffee and 3 empanadas. I'd totally go back for a coffee, but will probably hit the local pandaria for empanadas.
