Food Review - Toro Mahi Mahi
February 25, 2010
Hello again everyone. It's time for another edition of my absolute favorite feature here on this blog, the Toro Bar and Grill Food Reviews. Those of you who know me will know why this is my favorite feature, and those who don't know me can most likely guess. It's the food! The fantastic food. A top notch meal prepared just for me by a talented chef... the anticipation, the smells, the sights and sounds, I'm telling you, it's willpower alone that allows me to photograph these dishes before chowing down. Our chef is a true master, and being in the kitchen while the food is being prepared adds an extra level of enjoyment for me. Today's dish is currently our Toro fish of the day, the Toro Mahi Mahi. The Toro Mahi Mahi is perfect for the health conscious customer and is a great dish for the whole family during Lent. The fish is grilled to perfection and served on a bed of baby spinach. Spanish rice, corn, and pico de gallo accompany the fish, and it's topped off with fresh limes. I made good use of the limes, squeezing an ample amount of juice onto the fish before taking my first bite. The fish was incredible and the sides fit with it wonderfully. I feel like if I myself were a chef and had the vocabulary to really express everything that's going on in this dish I could do it more justice, but in layman's terms, it was the bomb. Totally the bomb. It almost rocked my socks right off. Come on down to Toro Bar and Grill today and give the Toro Mahi Mahi a go. You'll thank me if you do.

Spring Preview
January 19, 2010
We had some very dramatic weather this afternoon here in Rio Rancho, NM. A huge mass of clouds rolled in and completely blocked our view of the mountains. When they moved on, the mountains were glittery with fresh snow and the sun was bright and warm. Winter is not over, but Spring is coming, and today we got a sneak peak.

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year
November 28, 2009
The holiday spirit was in the air today as we put up our decorations here at The Inn at Rio Rancho. We got the whole crew together and spent the afternoon turning the lobby and grounds into a winter wonderland, and, as if in response to our festive attitudes, the weather man said we can expect snow by morning. It's rare for the whole staff to be working together on the same project, and having everyone together created nothing but good times. Look forward to even more holiday themed posts as the weeks go by, and keep an eye out for a debut post from our newest author Sara!

Toro Review: Special Guest
May 11, 2009
Today's entry is the first of our "special guest food reviews". Sharla is one of our superstars here at the front desk at The Inn at Rio Rancho, and she volunteered to review another brand new dish on the spring menu. Let's see what she thought: -" The Primavera Melt, perfect for the vegetarian or someone just looking to eat healthier. This dish is a taste sensation for your palette. I was pleasantly surprised how wonderful it was. The zucchini, squash, and mushrooms were a great combination, and on top of the veggies I found sliced avacado with melted monterrey jack cheese. The avacados were great with the cheese and vegetables. The side of mashed potatos was an excellent compliment to the entire dish. All in all I would say that this is one of the best dishes that my taste buds have ever enjoyed. My compliments to the chef!"- Great review Sharla! Who will be the next special guest? It could be you.

Toro Review: New Menu Item
May 7, 2009
It's been awhile, but it's at last time for another Toro Bar and Grill food review. James (our executive chef here at Toro) has put together some great new dishes to add to the Spring menu and I had the chance to try one for the first time today. I ordered the lunch portion of James' specialty tilapia. The fish is breaded then baked and served with seasoned rice and sauted vegetables. He also makes a dinner portion, but at 4.99, the lunch portion is a great deal, and perfect for a mid-shift meal. THIS FISH WAS AWESOME. Everything tasted and smelled so good I had a hard time holding myself back long enough to take this picture. I'm thinking about asking a couple of our regulars to write reviews of their own for this blog. That'd be cool right? See the food, hear what other guests have to say about it, yeah, sounds like fun. Stay tuned.

Night Owls
May 3, 2009
I decided I would grab a cup of coffee and take a stroll through the courtyard in the calm quiet of the early morning. The soft chirp of crickets accompanied by the coo of a few of our resident owls made the predawn atmosphere truly serene.
