El Toro Salao

- Phone: 787/722-3330
Fodor's Review:
Bullfighting posters hang on one of the two-story-high walls in El Toro Salao, which means "the salty bull" in Spanish. This tapas restaurant was opened by restaurateur Emilio Figueroa, who helped turn the southern end of Calle Fortaleza into the city's top dining destination. Although it is not located on painfully hip South Fortaleza, El Toro Salao's brash attitude clearly puts it among the posh pack. There are plenty of small dishes to share, as well as heartier fare such as blackened tuna in sweet paprika, and grilled octopus with a sun-dried tomato vinaigrette. Diners can sit in the dining room, which has a bar illuminated in red, or at one of the tables that spill out onto an adjacent cobblestone square. Wear your coolest clothes because the crowd will be checking you out.
