We made reservations and were greeted and seated promptly. We were celebrating our anniversary, and…read morewanted to try this place for the second time (we stumbled on this spot a few yrs back and hadn't visited since we moved to the area). It is a very cozy spot with friendly service and a very nice vibe! It is still the same! Our waitress was dutiful as was the bartender who made excellent drinks (they don't disappoint with the featured drinks); Our appetizers arrived nice and hot for the most part, and was very tasteful (we ordered the variety-and shared it was more than enough); I wanted the red snapper but sadly they were out, and since I'm not a big meat eater, I was a bit disappointed in the options for me to choose from (I had the only chicken dish (stuffed with spinach) that was appealing to me during our previous visit-so I didn't select it/I wish I had); my husband ordered the shredded beef dish which he loved, the sides were very tasty as well. I was not thrilled with my choice(Caesar salad) but I was good with the appetizers and drinks. My reason for 4 stars was because there was no back-up fish selection. I would recommend this restaurant and will return on a weekend to enjoy the live music (which we did on our first visit). Be sure to make reservations as the location is small but mighty! Shout out to all the lovely women that was on staff April 2nd 2026! You helped to make our day even more special!

Drinks never dry, food hot and delicious, music and ambiance on point. My husband and I have dined here before and this visit was no different ! Authentic food! Pork was tender and flavorful.

Food was absolutely delicious Service was very good and the price was reasonable.

I've been here twice. The first time I ordered the sample platter, it was amazing. The second…read moretime I ordered the sample platter again and it was a flop. Portions were significantly smaller and the ham croquetas were very disappointing. They definitely changed the way they made them. The ham in the croqueta was hard and tasted old and everything else did not taste like it was freshly fried and crispy. On the other hand, I ordered a cheeseburger, and that was amazing... I'm hoping to give it another shot one day, but it's not my first choice. The restaurant itself is very clean, service is very friendly and if you get the opportunity to sit outside on the patio, you will not be disappointed. Parking is a little tricky because it's not a big lot and you are sharing it with the restaurant nextdoor and the condo's.

The Cuban (roasted pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard) was delicious: bread was perfectly toasted, all the fillings were nicely salty with acidic contrast from mustard & pickles. Ambiance is good with both indoor & outdoor seating. Service was fast & friendly. Parking is free in downtown Jefferson. 10/10 would recommend!

LOVED EL PURO!!!

The ambiance was giving Cuban nightclub! It was dim lit, live music, dancefloor was jumping, drinks flowing...it was all a vibe. Definitely the place for a date, or a family gathering with adults and/or hanging out with a group of friends. I would not recommend trying to bring children (if that's even allowed). The service was also nice! Food came out in a timely manner after ordering and we were tended to at convenient times for drink refills and ensuring everything was ok with the table.

I was raving about this place to a friend from past experiences so we went to check it out. It was…read morea Saturday night and the stage was packed as they had live music and most people (a mature crowd) were on stage dancing. Most people were either celebrating a birthday or out for date night. However, the music was so loud it didn't allow for much conversation. It had been some time since I've been back to El Puro since giving up pork- it made the food options a bit limited. The food was a little subpar especially at the price point. My friend was underwhelmed but the atmosphere and ambiance is and still remains great. Moving forward I'd probably just stop by for drinks if anything.

The old location was small and limited and…read morefelt like you were in a small deli but now it's more spacious has a domino table inside and a game corner. The owners did a great job creating a more Latin feel like mom and pop restaurants in Miami. The food is still great they had a few different plates with more dinner style but the portions were great. Hope they can get fully back up but glad I can get tostada, Cuban coffee and food just like being at home. If you're near Reidsville, NC stop by. The town decorates for holidays too so there's selfie spots and places to walk off the yummy food.
