Reviews for El Puro Cuban Restaurant in Charlotte, NC
Food is amazing! Everything was very flavorful and the portions are generous. Tried a variety of dishes and each one was just as... good as the last.. this restaurant has very nice traditional Cuban decor with a dope old school red and white convertibleoutside that has been repurposed as a table and the live music is really nice. Definitely will be back! Read more
El Puro Cuban was an absolute delight! Outside of only having Cuban food in Miami; this was probably the closest I gotten to the... island itself. The food was seasoned well and bursting with flavor. Pricing was reasonable for these kind of "finer" diningestablishments. Market price of seafood does indeed mean market price. So if you're trying any of those options pleaseconsidering paying $35 or more on the entree. The tuna tartar was the staple of our whole meal outside of the red snapper! Thereis one or two vegetarian options but considering this is a Hispanic restaurant; you can't be upset. However, those two options(according to my guest) was delicious. Staff was great, knowledgeable and quick with service. I'm surprised by the location ofthis establishment but the way the restaurant was design and put together inside and out; makes you feel like you're in anothercountry and not off S Blvd in Charlotte. Overall, I would definitely visit this restaurant and recommend you do too if you'reitching to try some Cuban food. Read more
El Puro Cuban Restaurant is an easy fan favorite and understandably why once you experience the food, service, and atmosphere.... Once you walk in the doors you're transported to another time and place. The decor is fantastically creative and sets the moodfor an authentic Cuban experience. The live music takes the experience over-the-top and is something to truly look forwardto. The service is second to none. We had the pleasure of having Sara G service the table. Her attitude, timing, and attentionto detail made such a pleasurable experience. We can not express enough how wonderful she was and how well she treated us. Herpersonability and willingness to provide great service was much appreciated and clearly authentic. Last but not least, thefood. So good and authentic. A straightforward food and drink menu allows for the concentration on truly authentic meals anddrinks that will want you to come back and try more. A rare gem in the Charlotte area that has perfected the big 3 must havesin restaurant dining. Read more
Couldn't ( properly) pronounce a fair amount of the menu BUT delicious food and warm hospitality is universal. Having a large... party allowed me to sample almost the entire menu and everything was exquisite, cocktails included! We sat on stage with theband (Freddie Garcia) and they were phenomenal! Beautiful space, amazing energy and delicious authentic food. A great additionto that area of town. I cannot wait to return! Read more
Where do I start? My first time at this restaurant and I'm glad I went there. I visited on a Friday night, it was busy so I sat... at the bar and enjoyed a delicious meal. The empanadas were delicious, I should have ordered more And I loved the sauce it wentwith. For dinner, I ordered the baked chicken with rice. So freaking delicious, something about the chicken and the rice blendedso well together. I'm going to try something different the next time I go. Great atmosphere, live music while I was there, greatservice. Overall, it was a great experience for me. Just thinking about that chicken has my mouth watery Read more

We are blessed as a community to have this place in Charlotte. The dedication to the vision and the execution of that vision are... on a whole other level. Live music nightly (don’t know anywhere else close in the area that has live music every night), andthe salsa lessons / salsa night on Wednesday was a blast. Everything that came out of the kitchen was hot and bursting withflavor. The staff and crew were some of the nicest I’ve ever witnessed, and you could tell they really loved working here.Will absolutely be back many times this is a hidden gem Read more
