    Food, service, ambiance were amazing! This is a loud environment, they had a band and singers on Friday night. We’re just visiting for a few days so we loved it but not for those looking for a quiet place

    We had an amazing time at El Puro. Authentic and delicious Cuban food. Comparable to Miami institutions. We can’t wait to go back for live music. Service was excellent and the owner, Ana, was super nice. Highly recommend.

    We love the music, but the band was too loud last night. It was almost impossible to talk to someone sitting right next to you. Everything was good. Delicious mojitos.

    Our overall experience was great! Enrique was very attentive and served with a pleasant attitude. I listed the noise level on the high side only because there was live music happening during our visit. The empanadas were a big hit at the table and the Tamarindo Spritz was delicious!
