THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Torito Restaurant Review:

Savory, creative tapas and jovial service have helped make this cozy, laid-back boîte in Kensington Market a hang-out for local chefs, off-work restaurant staff and artistes of all sorts. Given its owners are from Chile and its chef hails from El Salvador, you can expect to encounter Spanish-style tapas with Central and South American twists. Ceviche is a generous portion of fresh fish, marinated in lime juice and strewn with large kernels of toasted corn. Arugula salad and manchego cheese are uniquely dressed in a quince vinaigrette. Alternatively, shrimp are supple and sautéed in garlic, while grilled flat-iron steak with chips is gilded with a fried egg. The Iberia and Latin-dominated wine selection includes a good mix of reds and whites, but there’s a handful of sparkling Spanish wines, too.
