    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

    Appetizers entrees and salads all brought to the table at the same time. Despite asking them to space them out.

    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.
