El Puro Cuban Restaurant

About

El Puro is the modern Cuban restaurant on South Boulevard in Madison Park, from the family behind Havana Carolina in Concord. Live music and salsa dancing fill a dining room built for a night out instead of a quiet dinner. Ropa vieja with shredded brisket and congri rice is the dish to order at dinner. Weekend brunch brings the guajiro Benedict with tostones and pork alongside torrejas with guava and cream cheese.

What to know

  • The disco Benedict comes with croquetas.
  • Salsa dancing runs on the last Wednesday of the month.
  • The same family runs Muraya in South End.
  • Brunch runs on both Saturday and Sunday.
