The food here is FANTASTIC. We had the empanada to start. Then we enjoyed the apple salad to share with was fresh,sweet and spicy. All the entrees, the grilled fish, chicken thighs and beef were all amazing a bursting with flavor. Not sure if the “chicken thighs” were actually thighs since they were all very white meat but still delicious. Drinks and cocktails were also very good the Pisco sour being excellent. Service could be improved with a little more attention to detail. We were told we had to order everything all at once so it could be coursed out only for everything to be sent out at once. It’s a beautiful place and the vibes are amazing and I will defiantly be back.

Plates to share, but they make you order them all at one time. We got our apps: peppers and baguettes with melted cheese - very delicious. However, my vegan ceviche was a joke... no flavor, odd textures and just not appetizing at all. Then we waited for over a half hour for our beef dish. Trying to flag the waitress down to see if they forgot about it, she goes "Are you ready to get that beef fired up?" and I say, "We've been ready" 😂 My cocktail took me all night to drink because it just tasted bad. Then they abruptly kicked us out saying our reservation was over. Would've been nice to know at the beginning we had a table end time?? Strange vibes. Might consider giving a second chance for drinks, but wouldn't count on going here for dinner again.

As always, the food was incredible, and the service was impeccable. Tried the Provoleta for the first time, and it was delicious. For my meal, I had what I always order, the Choripan, which was awesome as always. My wife tried the Uruguayan Chivito and loved it. I just hope they bring back the Corn on the Cob.

So good! Our table of five shared the shishito peppers, provoleta, empanadas, and all three sandwiches. And dessert. The penguinos of wine are really fun and the service was impeccable. I love the space, the food, the music. Its all a vibe.

It’s an awesome space- great ambience. The sausage sandwich, and proveleta are all-stars. Drinks are really good. The steak sandwich is too tough to eat. The buttered trout was awesome but needed a bit of salt. Would highly recommend!!

Puma is the best new restaurant and bar to open in Detroit this year. Unique space with an amazing vibe. Incredible Latin food. Creative drinks. Gracious hospitality. Great energy all around. And hands down the best fried chicken sandwich anywhere. 10/10
