  1. A

    Toro

    This highly lauded tapas bar is one of many success stories by celebrity chef Ken Oringer. True to its Spanish spirit, this place is bursting with energy, from the open kitchen to the lively bar to the communal butcher-block tables. The menu features simple but sublime tapas – grilled chilis with sea salt, corn on the cob dripping with lemon and butter, and delectable, garlicky shrimp. For accompaniment, take your pick from rioja or sangria or any number of spiced-up mojitos and margaritas.

    Bar Lola

    This authentic Spanish eatery is tucked into a subterranean space on residential Common­wealth Ave. The menu is exclusively tapas, prepared by a team of chefs trained in España. There’s an impressive list of Spanish wines, including cava and sangria. Mural-painted walls and flamenco music create an inviting old-world ambience, and a lively, Spanish-speaking crowd (and staff) adds to it.
