We had our rehearsal dinner at Tauro Cocina and had an unforgettable time! We were blown away by the food and service. We had around 30 guests for dinner and then hosted nearly 100 guests for welcome drinks after dinner. We can't recommend Tauro Cocina enough!
Starting with the space itself, we were sat in the back room near the pizza oven. The room was beautifully decorated and had its own bar for our guests. Each table setting was nicely done with a custom menu for our event. We did no decorating ourselves and the space was perfect without additional decorations. Our only downside was it was pretty hot, but at the end of June in a room near a pizza oven - it makes sense.
Next to the food and drink - everything we ate was delicious and the drinks were amazing. We did a family style dinner for our 30 guests and started with the bruschetta. There were several types of bruschetta including meat and non-meat options which we appreciated.
For our main courses we had the cilantro risotto with shrimp and the pollo al guajillo. The shrimp was perfectly spicy and the cilantro risotto was a nice contrast. The chicken was delicious, perfectly tender and the sauce was amazing. We also had the poblano linguine and spaghetti marinara - both were delicious and we could tell they were homemade and not your standard pasta. All of the portions were generous and there was always enough leftover at each course - no one went home hungry. We opted to add desserts and were not disappointed. Again, we could tell everything was homemade, authentic, and delicious.
We also had one gluten-free guest and was given a special gluten-free portion at every single course - including the bruschetta and dessert. That was much appreciated!
The drinks were well-crafted - most of our guests had selections off of their extensive cocktail menu. We were able to also have a custom drink menu so our guests could choose a limited selection - all menus were printed off specially for our event.
Finally, the service was incredible. The bartending and waitstaff were top notch. Everyone was extremely friendly and attentive to our needs. They seemed very organized and we felt like true VIPs that day. The team at Tauro Cocina communicated exceptionally well with us leading up to and on the day of our event.
We would absolutely recommend Tauro Cocina for any private event!
