El Puro Cuban Restaurant

As one of Charlotte’s premier Cuban restaurants, El Puro embodies what it means to cook from the heart and honor those who came before us. Designing an entire eatery around a certain cuisine is nothing new—in fact, it’s pretty expected. Guests want to eat in an environment that matches their meals. That can be through the décor, the architecture, or something else entirely. The owners of El Puro take this idea to the next level. Dania Ochoa and Emmanuel and Ana Acela Perez don’t just want guests to think of Cuba while they’re eating. They want them to feel the spirit of the country throughout their entire dining experience.
