About this spot
El Torito serves massive cuts of beef that are too big for one person, so you must order the 'a la familia' sharing platter to tackle a whole side of ribs or flank steak. The San Telmo neighborhood buzzes with street artists and cobblestone alleys as you wait for your table at this historic spot where locals still gather for Sunday brunch.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the 'a la familia' sharing option because individual portions are tiny compared to the huge side of ribs.
- Ask for extra chimichurri on the side since the house sauce is already packed into every steak dish.
- Arrive early or make a reservation, as this San Telmo institution fills up quickly for weekend family meals.
