    $14 Chips and guac 5/5
    Michelle T.

    My friend and I went here for taco Tuesday. We got here about 5pm and it was pretty empty. The male host was talking on his phone when we arrived then eventually greeted us. He got annoyed as he was taking us to our table because my friend wanted to take a picture by their sign, so he walked back to his podium and continued his phone conversation. Umm okay customer service! Our table service wasn't bad but it wasn't great either. It was an older gentleman and his service was a little slow but we were in no rush and was patient. It did get a bit busier after we arrived. Can't remember if they had a live DJ but they definitely had great music playing. Drinks: we indulged in the happy hour $7 frozen margaritas (flavor + $1). I had the passion fruit and my friend had the coconut, both were really good! She stuck with her flavor while I tried the mango for round 2, mango was also good. Food: we started with the chips and guac which was really good and fresh and good portion size. I decided to do the All You Can Eat tacos but was disappointed because they don't have any pork options (not even for Al a carte! Come on! Where is the carnitas and Al pastor option?! I don't eat beef/steak, so I was limited to the chicken and fish. Anyhoo, the fish was by far the best of two options. It was seasoned well, crispy outside, and juicy inside. Would've liked a little more toppings though. The chicken was okay, not bad but just okay. I wish birria was actually goat as it's supposed to be or that they (and other places) would make other meat options besides beef birria style as well. My friend had the Enrolame la Flauta which were very good, small but good! Would go back and recommend.

    Sangria on the rocks, sooo good

    Came on a Thursday night with a group of people and there was not much going on. Music playing in the background but nothing crazy. Pretty empty besides 2 or 3 other groups sitting down at the tables. We sat at the bar and ordered happy hour drinks and appetizers. I got a sangria on the rocks for $7, which was delicious. Also ordered barbecue wings (on the bone), $8. There were 4 small wings in the order. They were okay. We got the nachos which was $35. The description said it could serve 4 people. It was tinyyyyy. Definitely more like a personal plate, maybe 2 people can share it, maybe. Definitely overpriced. Overall this place was okay, the bartenders were nice. Hookah was okay. Might be more lively on a Friday/Saturday night. Street parking, have to circle a bit to find a spot.

    My mother had her birthday brunch here. To reserve we needed a $10 deposit per person, no biggie. They seated us promptly. This place is perfect for big groups. They really know how to have fun and make brunch a wonderful experience! Everyone pretty much enjoyed their food. I enjoyed my calamari as well as the steak and eggs. Service was good he kept our mimosa and sangria pitchers full. Really enjoyed the live music/ entertainment.

    Cheers

    I went to Viva Torres for Moms Night Out. Judy Torres was performing. Its a restaurant / club. Had an appetizer. Wings were good, Drinks and service were on point. I had my go to Lychee Martini which was delicious! They first said she was coming out at 11pm, then 1230am. At that point it was really crowded and it was a club ambiance. All good I waited but when she didn't come out I left. It was a good night that could have been better had I seen Judy.

    Had a great time! Went to a retirement brunch, for $65 a person, we received an appetizer, an entree and unlimited sangria and mimosas for 2 hours and they kept them coming! Hookah took place, not sure if it was part of the package or if my party added it later, $25 for refills. I had the empanadas and the toro burger. The empanada were yummy , the burger was good, not one of my favorites, the fries were tasty. Drinks were cool. The vibe was everything, DJ kept the place upbeat the whole time. He was playing some good songs, something for everyone, merengue, bachata, r&b, soca, reggae, old school. He did not disappoint. Staff was pleasant, place was clean, including the bathroom. It was a great Vibe. The only thing I wasn't fond of, was the unisex bathroom. Walked in to a man using the bathroom with the door open. That's a no for me.

    Great happy hour options, went on Wednesday and HH was all night. Margs were quite strong even on HH pricing! It's a large space, wasn't too busy but a bit loud especially with the game being shown. The queso fundido was great as well as the tacos, I had chicken, shrimp and beef...my favorite was probably chicken. They have bottomless tacos and drinks also on Tuesday too I think. Service was attentive!

    So I met some family at this restaurant and I was glad we did. The location is in the warehouse district of Williamsburg. You van find parking in the near by blocks. The place is a very good size space with plenty of seating. I sat at the bar awaiting my family. The drinks were on point, the bartender was really good. They also have happy hour if your in the area. When we got seated it seemed the drinks changed, definitely not the same. I went back to ordering directly from the bartender I started of with. Other than that all else was ok. I ordered shrimp tacos and ended with churros! I do recommend if your in the area. The atmosphere was good for groups I recommend.

    Grilled octopus

    Great for a date night and/or a night out with friends! They have delicious food, good drinks, good music- a mixture or everything!! Which is great! They have hookah available too and if you don't smoke it, it wouldn't bother or feel too smokey, there's enough space and room in the entire place. Very open. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Our waiter seemed busy with other customers and the staff stepped in and helped us. It didn't make us feel like we weren't being taken care of. Teamwork! I thought it was a good experience. There is a photographer taking pics and selling them. I personally think on this it is definitely overpriced $20 a pic. Drink: Hennessy Mojito i ordered 3! A really good drink (4.5/5) So now lets talk food Appetizers: Grilled octopus very good! (4.8/5) We just had to order another one! Guacamole was good (3.5), i enjoyed it. Main entrée : Salmon With mashed potatoes and asparagus was good! (3/5) I finished The place is a one stop for an evening out- good music-atmosphere-food drinks hookah- I will def be going back. Overall rating 4/5

    TRES LECHES
    Emely F.

    Great experience for my birthday! The food was great the service was great and ambiance was popping! Definitely a party vibe there. The frozen margaritas were delicious. The tres leche was moist and tasteful.

    Spicy shrimp taco

    So I came here for Cinco De Mayo with friends and it was absolute mad house. The wait for table was about 2+ hrs which is my only major complain about this place. My review is mainly for the food. Now the food, 10 out of 10. Had the yuca fries that came with a garlic butter dipping sauce (could be wrong bout that), spicy shrimp tacos, and chicken burrito. Drinks were good and this place has like 3 bars (spacious venue). Interior was cute as well. There was also live band that day and DJ played a variety of music. Overall, I'd come back but I just hope it's not that crowded.

    Located in Williamsburg, Viva Toro may be a little hard to get to but it's a good time. We went for brunch with the intention that there would be bull riding and vibes. There wasn't any bull riding but there was entertainment in the form of dancers in costumes. One thing to note is that they will scan the ID of each person who walks in. A few people from group were late and they allowed us to wait by the bar, this way we would could all start our 90 minute brunch experience together. The server came by to take our order once we were seated. You get a choice of one entree and one appetizer and mimosas or sangria. I chose the empanadas and steak with eggs and potatoes and had the sangria as my drink. The empanadas were a mixture of cheese and chicken. I liked the cheese the best, the chicken was not the best. The entree was just okay and the drinks were not strong. I think if I'd come back I would come for the vibes. Drinks and hookah would be what I'd come for and of course the music. All in all brunch was 55 dollars and they add mandatory 20 % gratuity.

    SALMON BORRACHO

    I stopped in here before an event in the area with my friend. We didn't have much time but needed to eat. It was a Saturday around 5:30 and didn't have a lot of people which was great for us. This is a good sized restaurant. We both had sangrias that were decent. I had the salmon dish that was not only played beautifully but also tasted delicious.

    Hostess stand is a mess, once you sit down at a table then the service becomes excellent. The food and drinks were great.

    Service was the worst part, bartenders are rude and confuse drink orders. The Djs play a variety music and attentive to the crowd.

    This place was really interesting! When I found out all the cocktails were on tap, I was a bit…read moreskeptical. What do you mean you're not going to mix my cocktail right in front of me? However, I was quickly proven wrong. Not only was the service topnotch, but the drinks were surprisingly delicious and refreshing. There's a ton of options which is also surprising considering the tap only format. Upon further reflection of how tiny the bar is, it makes sense why they would go this route. It would be challenging for one person let alone two to be behind that bar shaking and stirring. I also heard there's a back area with more seating but we didn't explore much further than the front bar stool seating. Seems like a cool spot for happy hour or late night drinks and I would definitely return!

    Came here for happy hour as our dinner was in the area. The happy hour deal is great! Old…read morefashions/Manhattan/daiquiri/margarita for $8 even on weekends feels unheard of in the area. We were lucky to grab 2 seats at the bar as the rest of the seating actually seemed a bit cramped and uninviting. They advertise a heated back patio but I don't think the heat was on and no one was there, which is a bummer. Regardless, the theme is nice with everything attributable to their "laboratory" ambience. Everything is served in beakers or similar glasses. It can get a bit crowded sitting at the bar as that's where everyone orders drinks but otherwise this was quite enjoyable. Will definitely keep on the list for HH.
