OUR HISTORY

Born in San Antonio, Toro Kitchen and Bar is a locally crafted Spanish culinary experience. The owner’s family originates from the beautiful countryside of Valle De Ruesga, Santander, North of Spain. Gerardo (Owner) grew up between Mexico and Texas and while traveling throughout Europe he visited his family in Spain, only to find himself falling in love with its traditions, food and most of all the wine!
