Toro
A famous Barcelona-style tapas spot in the South End, opened in 2005 and featured in the Michelin Guide and The New York Times.
Opened in late 2005 by James Beard Award winners Ken Oringer and Jamie Bissonnette, this cozy, rustic spot specializes in Barcelona-style small plates and was named by Eater as one of the most influential restaurants in America over the past two decades. The must-order dish is the Maíz Asado (grilled corn), served with aioli, lime, Espelette pepper, and aged cheese; the anchovy tomato bread and two signature paellas are also frequently recommended. Reservations are accepted for dinner. The grilled corn (four pieces) is about $17, and the average cost is about $60-$90 per person (estimate). Located on Washington Street in the South End, it can be reached by taking the Silver Line bus nearby.
