📍 Restaurant Diaries: Tauro Cocina - Milwaukee
Tried Tauro Cocina and this was definitely a good one! 👏🏽
🐙 Appetizer | Grilled Octopus
I started with the grilled octopus and they did their thing with this one. It was grilled to perfection with just the right amount of char. The small arugula salad with radishes and tomatoes added a fresh, light contrast that complemented the octopus really well.
🍹 Cocktail | Toro Mambo
For my drink, I had the Toro Mambo and it was the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. The sweetness hits first with just enough spice coming through to give it a little kick without being overpowering. Definitely my kind of cocktail!
🍽️ Entrée | Parmesan Risotto + Braised Birria Beef
Now THIS was the star of the show! The braised birria beef was incredibly juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. The Parmesan risotto was extremely creamy, rich, and flavorful. Together?! 🤌🏽 I literally cleaned my plate not a bite was left behind!
Overall, Tauro Cocina delivered on flavor, texture, and presentation. Everything I ordered worked really well together, and I’d absolutely come back.
