    This was my second visit at Azucar and this time was as enjoyable as the first time. Starting with the food quality, every plate we ordered tasted delicious and it’s authentic Cuban food. The staff is very friendly, professional and efficient. They also had live Latin music which made the ambiance even better. This restaurant is a winner. It’s in a great location in Ballantyne village and this will def not be our last visit.

    We met up at Azucar as a friend group including our out of town friends. We were excited by the menu. The taste of the food was delicious and the service was very good.

    It’s a small place with a lot of clients. Food is outstanding. Staff is a bit light for size of crowd. Live music was enjoyable but was difficult to have conversation with others at the table because is was very loud.

    What a fun place ! The food was incredible ! Seemed super authentic Many of the patrons were Cuban. There was live music on Saturday night. I felt like I was in Cuba. The bartender was really crushing his showmanship too! Can't wait to go back

    This is a great Cuban restaurant. Food is superb, including Cuban favorites like pork masas, oxtails, paellas and arroz con pollo dishes. Brunch menu is creative and excellent with fritatas to die for. Choice of sangrias and cocktails are also great. Service is welcoming and efficient.
