Our appetizers were solid- the croquetas and the guava and cheese empanadas were good. My pancakes were cold and beyond bland. There was a small cold piece of butter on top. The plate already had syrup on it so the bottom pancake was cold and soggy. I asked for my side of bacon to be well done/crispy and it came out super limp and chewy. My friend got the Cubano which was sloppily thrown together. The fries were also cold. Our server was very sweet but stretched across other tables so it was pointless even telling her. Very disappointed as we were both excited to try this place for the first time.

We were a party of four and wanted to try a new place and the food pics looked great so we booked. We were so pleasantly surprised by the whole experience. This place is a vibe! We were seated for brunch near the band. A photographer took and printed pics and placed them in frames and we bought a few. The Benedict was scrumptious ! The tres leches was soooooo yummy ! We were sad that it all had to end when we stepped out the door…. It was a very memorable experience. It can be a lit loud by the band but we loved it!

Hello ,We enjoyed spending our birthdays last Saturday. The only comment I have is I always secretly enjoyed my free Birthday cake and was very surprised to discover we were charged for the cakes. We had a huge birthday cake at home and really just wanted the song and clapping. It should have been disclosed that the birthday cake is for a fee .Thx

It was my first time at El Puro and it certainly won't be my last. The energy is vibrant, the food was excellent and the live music was the cherry on top! Naomi was a great server. She was very friendly and accommodating. Definitely a hot spot!

Good food and decent portions. Not a great neighborhood but good indoor space and ambience. Great service. Our server was attentive though he forgot to bring a side dish I ordered. After dinner, a different server brought us a dessert menu and the bill, which was confusing. Overall, I’d return for the Latin food, however, I made a reservation weeks in advance and got seated at one of the worst tables in the restaurant.
