    Management and serving staff are very attentive and they remember customer preferences. We went last night with friends and they made it easy for the group to return there in the future. For my wife and I, the food was very good and different from their local competitors

    This was my second visit at Azucar and this time was as enjoyable as the first time. Starting with the food quality, every plate we ordered tasted delicious and it’s authentic Cuban food. The staff is very friendly, professional and efficient. They also had live Latin music which made the ambiance even better. This restaurant is a winner. It’s in a great location in Ballantyne village and this will def not be our last visit.

    We met up at Azucar as a friend group including our out of town friends. We were excited by the menu. The taste of the food was delicious and the service was very good.

    It’s a small place with a lot of clients. Food is outstanding. Staff is a bit light for size of crowd. Live music was enjoyable but was difficult to have conversation with others at the table because is was very loud.
