€€€€ • Regional Mexican • San Jose
We had an amazing time celebrating my nephew’s birthday. The area is a little older, but once inside you’re transported to a different world. From the vibrant color scheme to the velvet dining chairs, they spared no expense. The menu features elevated dishes from family recipes and different regions in Mexico. They also have a creative cocktail menu along with wines from Baja, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The owner even walked us through a mezcal tasting that included the history of the spirit and its different types. Although they have only been open a week, they operate efficiently and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. Service was excellent and we felt very well taken care of. We all raved about the food with the only exception being the flan. I suspect the heat was too high when they cooked it. Overall, Toro Mambo gave us an experience worthy of a family birthday celebration and we look forward to coming back.
