Toro Espanol - Mount Barker

I am familiar with the concept of Spanish cuisine, which typically consists of smaller appetizer-sized dishes known as "Tapas." These dishes are meant to be enjoyed in large quantities, and I must say, they taste absolutely delicious. However, the pricing can be a bit high.

The tapas selections and sangria at this restaurant are amazing. I highly recommend trying the pork belly, croquettes, and garlic mushrooms.

I want to make it known that I am South American with a Spanish background, as I believe it adds to my knowledge and expertise in this area ;).

What it lacks in physical size, it more than makes up for in delicious food.Most of the items on the menu happen to be vegetarian, which is fantastic news for us, so we tried 5 dishes.The standout winners are the polenta chips with creamy aioli; the risotto balls with blue cheese dipping sauce; and the stuffed mushrooms with goat's curd.My husband liked the grilled watermelon salad too.The patatas bravas might be an acquired taste - the smoky paprika flavour was nice but overpowering.Sadly we didn't stay to try the desserts as we were quite full at that point.Tip: try the 'Adult Dr Pepper' cherry cola cocktail. Very nice.
