(Dania Beach, FL – TORO Latin Kitchen & Tequila Library, the tantalizing and contemporary culinary destination inside Le Méridien Dania Beach, welcomes Daniel Salgado as the new Tequila Librarian, bringing professional experience earned in Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and New York.

The upscale establishment is under the direction of internationally acclaimed Chef/Owner Richard Sandoval—hailed as the “Father of Modern Mexican Cuisine”—who has assembled an extraordinary collection of tequilas, mezcals, and agave spirits and aspires to educate diners on their quality and diversity. Daniel Salgado will be instrumental in this mission.

Both stylish and comfortable, TORO’s Tequila Library is a dim, cozy space that mimics the look and feel of a library adorned with leather books, reading lamps, and a tequila “library card” program. More than 400 bottles align the walls—all organized in categories supporting the library theme—featuring distilled beverages from famed haciendas, small-batch distillers, and artisanal producers.

In addition to the wide variety of drink selections, among the special offerings at TORO’s La Biblioteca are Tequila Tastings, including:

+ Vertical Tastings: different aging techniques in three different tequilas from the same family

+ Horizontal Tastings: comparing tequilas produced by three different distilling families

+ Premium Tastings: a pre-fixe selection of high-end tequilas

+ Mezcal Tastings: made with smoked green agave

TORO also offers tasty happy hour menu items from traditional guacamole, smoked swordfish dip, and chips and salsa to such tasty temptations as Peruvian chicken, corn empanadas, beef anticuchos, and carnitas quesadilla.

Located at 1825 Griffin Road in Dania Beach (33004), TORO Latin Kitchen is open 5 to 10 pm, Wednesday-Saturday, while Tequila Library is open 5 to 10 pm, Tuesday-Saturday. For more information, please visit www.torodaniabeach.com.
