Puma Detroit offers a vibrant dining experience with "amazing food," "great service," and a "cool vibe." The live DJ enhances the "fun, high-energy atmosphere." While some find the menu could use slight improvements, "the butterflied trout" and "jicama salad" are highlights. Perfect for a lively night out!

    Amazing food, kind and knowledgeable staff, great music - would 11/10 recommend! I brought some friends who were visiting from out of town and we all agreed it was one of the best meals we’d had in a long time.

    A refreshingly different, really cool place. Food choices were limited but good. Trout entree lacked spice. Chicken was excellent. Mussel ceviche was tasty but a bit tough. We will def return.

    The restaurant, food, and service were amazing! All the staff were very warm and knowledgeable, I felt really welcome and comfortable there. I went in the middle of the week and my boyfriend and I loved the happy hour menu. The food and value was exceptional. I would definitely recommend this place to others and would go back again!

    Puma is one of our favorite restaurants to return to. A bit pricey if you get as much food as we always do (LOL) but so worth it. We’ve never had anything bad on the menu. Our personal favorites are the cheese skillet as an app, the apple salad (flavors to die for!), the chicken meal that comes with a delicious seasoned breading and side of pico, and the sausage sandwich with cabbage. Perfect flavor balances and always great service. The restaurant has a DJ indoors and can be a bit loud, but nothing you can’t hear over.

    I was looking forward to trying thus place but unfortunately nothing stood out to me. For Latin American cuisine, the flavors were surprisingly underwhelming.
