There was an open bar and Tinta Roja sangria (wine, brandy, ticor, apple, orange liqueur). We snapped Innovation Management's John Dials, Branch Daffan's Suzanne Swistak, and Vedder Price's Andrew Tucker.

Passed treats included Choclo empanadas (sweet corn, oaxaca cheese, avocado, chimichurri), Toro Toro chicken wings (aji panca glaze, sesame, scallion), and Choripan (chorizo, chile rocotto aioli, napa slaw). Here, Marriott International's Dotty Beverly and Natalie Cioffi.

Toro Toro is Richard Sandoval’s newest restaurant, a pan-Latin steakhouse. We took over the lower level, which is more of a club. Here, UBS' Elisabeth Ovits, LLS's Claudia Bahar, and CoStar's Melissa Frohna.

Toro Toro is a play on the Japanese word for tuna and the Spanish word for bull. Here, Trunk Club's Caitlin Maguire and Lindsay Moramarco flank Iron Point Partners' Joseph Fuccillo.

We loved the station with grilled meats: beef, chicken, and sausage. Here, ARA's Jim Pope and Rawles Wilcox flank PNC Bank's Tricia Mininger.
