Casa Del Toro - Cocina & Tequila

Casa Del Toro in Hayward was an amazing experience from start to finish! Every dish we ordered was packed with flavor. The calamari was perfectly cooked, the charcuterie board was a great starter, and the empanadas were absolutely delicious. The jumbo shrimp, skirt steak, and salmon were all cooked perfectly, and the Brussels sprouts were surprisingly one of our favorites. The drinks were great, the atmosphere was lively, and the service was attentive and friendly. And don’t skip dessert — the guava crème brûlée was incredible and the perfect way to end the meal. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great food, drinks, and a fun dining experience in Hayward. We’ll definitely be back!

Husband brought me here because I was having a bad day. The empanadas, salad, and lamb chops with the perfect cosmo made the day all better. Come here, you’ll love it. And great service,

I'm confused. "Latin American" cuisine. The restaurant looks nice didn't expect Hayward to have a restaurants like this. I really like how the space is divided - almost like one side works as a sports bar while the other leans more toward a sit-down dinner vibe. It works well. This is labeled as a Latin American restaurant, but the food felt more like American cuisine with a Mexican/Latin aesthetic rather than truly Latin-inspired flavors. The salmon itself was incredible—honestly the best salmon I’ve had. It melted in my mouth, which was a first for me. But the sides didn’t really make sense together. Brussels sprouts were fine, but they didn’t feel like they belonged on this plate. The purple side (looked like refried beans) was the most confusing part. It tasted sweet, almost like a dessert, and it was very heavy—especially for a brunch dish. Having such a large portion of it didn’t balance well with the salmon at all. Halfway through, I asked for hot sauce—and once I added it, the dish finally clicked. The two hot sauces were perfect with the salmon. That made me feel like the dish wanted more bold, Latin flavor but didn’t commit to it. Personally, I’d ditch the purple mash and the Brussels sprouts, replace them with something more flavorful and cohesive, and just serve the salmon with a proper hot sauce on the side. 4 ⭐ only because of the trio appetizer. It was good , essentially it's ceviche using halibut, ahi tuna, & shrimp.

I was frankly hesitant going jere because of some of the menu items - seeing deconstructed paella and Italian food at a Spanish restaurant were red flags in my mind. That being said I was pleasantly suprised by my experience. Tje flld was good, staff was all great and the restaurant felt quite nice. I did find it to be a little on tje pricy side but not a rip-off.

Great atmosphere, delicious food and healthy portions. Lamb chops, Salmon, parillada Ceviche were amazing. Highly recommend. Definitely coming back !!
