We had a very nice time. Food was good, service was excellent from our waitress Anna, and the live music was a real treat. I would love to live near so we could come on a regular basis.

The rice and beans were very good. The beef and fried pork could use some seasoning.

Extremely authentic Cuban restaurant. A diamond in the rough hidden in a strip mall in no-mans land on South Blvd. We got the app which has a little of everything on it. Everything was fantastic. Then we got some Tostones which were too greasy for me. We also got an order of the shrimp civiche which was good but a bit too much cilantro for me. We finished with flan for desert that was awesome and the wife got a Cuban Cappuccino which she loved. We started dinner at 7 and a live band came on at 8. Band was loud and fun. People were up and dancing the whole time. We couldn't understand anything they were saying or singing since we don't speak Spanish but it added to the experience. This is our second time there. We will make it one of our regulars.

Good first visit to El Puro. Food was very good and service wonderful. I would have liked a true salad option on the menu to counteract the very rich-tasting entres. This is expensive -- more than $200 for three diners with one cocktail and one bottle of wine -- so we will reserve for special occasions.
