Toro Toro - Houston Houston

Toro Toro is on Lamar Street. It is a ten-minute walk from both Discovery Green and the Toyota Center.

This South American grill is a better bet for a focused meal than the crowded, multi-purpose spots nearer to the park. While the room runs smart and elegant, the grill-heavy menu carries the space. You come here for the precision of the open-fire cooking, which creates a sharper, more intentional experience than the general-purpose dining rooms that dominate this part of town. Even if your evening takes you toward the nearby waterfront at Buffalo Bayou Park, the kitchen here provides a much needed sense of gravity that the neighborhood’s lighter options lack.
