BEST BRUNCH: El Puro
This is no cutesy, light bite, beat-around-the bush brunch. This is a kinetic, in-your-face gorge of a brunch. In this large restaurant, pre-revolutionary 1950s Cuba touches give loud life to the space — cigar cases, glamor in each corner, murals of Cuban cultural icons. There’s a pride for family and history that runs deep here, demonstrated by the friendly service and the live Cuban, Caribbean and Brazilian music throughout the week.
Naturally, the menu is an ode to this business’ Cuban roots as well. Empanadas, tres leches pancakes, lechón asado, and a classic Cubano sandwich. If you’re into a boozy brunch, you’re in luck; the El Puro cocktails go all out. The coconut cream mojito and tamarind aperol spritz are refreshing, but whichever one you choose will be treated, shaken, stirred and served with whimsy and delight…
