AZUCAR CUBAN CUISINE

Definitely should be on your list of Cuban restaurants to try. Vaca Frita was great. Picadillo empanada, tostones, ham croquetta, yucca frita, cafe con leche and maduros were all good. My wife said the the black beans were the best that she has had in Atlanta. Muy bueno!

Excellent authentic Cuban food. Recently I had lunch and enjoyed Chicken Empanadas which was outstanding. The atmosphere is fun and chill. I like the fact they use real silverware that not flimsy. I encourage folks to check this out for a good Cuban meal

The atmosphere was amazing, and the service from Evelyn was spectacular. She was polite, professional, and very knowledgeable, and she recommended some excellent dishes. There are so many great options to choose from. We will definitely be visiting again!

Lovedddd it! Went for the first time and it was a cute spot. Very clean! The service was GREAT! Mateos was our server and Brian was the bartender. They provided the most amazing service. The food was delicious! Very flavorful and fresh and so were the drinks. Unfortunately l didn’t get photos of the food. I was too busy eating. Already planning to go back to try different menu items.

The restaurant is pretty and the atmosphere very nice but the food was disappointing. I do not see the Cuban authenticity. The milanesa was not a Milanesa. The moro rice lacked flavor. The Ropa Vieja was okay. We ordered a drink and we got it after we were done eating. The milanesa is pictured. I do not think the owners are Cuban because this is not a good reflection of Cuban food.

For the price -- excellent & authentic Cuban food. Great place for a family-sized group, or for solo eating. You can hear the bartender and servers talking throughout the restaurant, so not as good for a romantic date, probably. Otherwise, perfect spot! Nice seating & vibe indoors & outdoors - reasonable prices. Coffee and cocktails available. Appetizers let you sample a variety of Cuban foods quickly. Just try it already.

The has beautiful decor and great music. They were playing salsa so I was reminded of my years living in the Caribbean. The food was amazing. I especially loved the empanada guava & cream cheese. The staff were nice. It was a pleasant experience. You can visit with family and friends. The only thing to consider is that the parking is small and limited.

Definitely worth the Drive! I live about 1 hour and 20 minutes but I went out of my way and it was definitely worth every bite! They give you a limited menu, which is the best part you have staple cuban foods to choose from and they are DELICIOUS! The portions are big! The food is made perfectly. The food has authentic Cuban flavors. If you have had Cuban food before you know the flavor says it all. Their drinks are really tasty, and well made, Hats off to the Bartender ! The staff is really nice, has great customer service, they make sure you are doing well and have everything you need, including the famous colada, cortadito, or even their desserts. Who is going to pass up guayaba con queso?!?! Or una croqueta?? I DIDN'T!

We love a good local spot, but a good Cuban local spot? Um Yes please!! Azucar has SUCH a beautiful ambiance, the music, the décor and the lighting make you forget you're in Brookhaven. Of course I took pictures and videos, but you really have to see it for yourself. The inside is spacious and can accommodate small to large parties. We actually happen to see a large party walk in shortly after us, about a group of 7, and they were able to get seated comfortably. The service was 10/10. I wish I got the young ladies' name who sat us and served us, but she was sweet, and helpful in guiding us on the best options to order. Aside from the nice setting and service, the next thing that stood out to me was their cocktail menu. It is always cocktail o'clock for me (hehe). With that said, we started off with a glass of prosecco, and a pineapple margarita (sugar on the rim for me!) For our entrees we ordered the El Cubano (Cuban sandwich) and the Pan Con Ropa Vieja (shredded beef sandwich). The El Cubano amongst the other sandwiches on the menu, automatically come with fries, however you can sub them for any of the side for $1.99. My friend subbed theirs with sweet plantains. My Cubano was GOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!, and the fries were well seasoned. I tried my friends Pan Con Ropa Vieja, and I might have loved theirs a little more ha! It was the sauce that did it! It was just the right amount, and my goodness was it flavorful. Now if you have been following my reviews, I was already full but per usual my little greedy self-ordered a café con leche AND a guava and cheese empanada. The empanada was just ok, but the café con leche HIT the spot. I will be returning especially with it being right in the neighborhood. BTW: for anyone unfamiliar with the area, parking is free, it is a tight area, so not a whole lot of spaces, I'd recommend carpooling if you are coming with a group.

We've been passing this place for a while now but never stopped in. Now that we bought a place a few blocks away, we decided to try more places near our new home. We were really happy with our dinner. My wife got the Cuban Tour (an appetizer sampler) and I got the Cubano as that's the first thing I ever try at a Cuban restaurant. The Cuban Tour was really good with both the variety and the quality. The Cubano was good, but I've noticed that in ATL, Cubanos tend to be mayo forward and I prefer a more mustard forward sandwich, but the meat was flavorful and very tender. I'm actually excited to go back and try a few other things such as the La Havana. This place deserves to be more packed and is a better choice than D'Cuban Cafe.

Birthday celebration dinner was good. Mojitos were fantastic. The Cuban appetizer platter was so yummy! The churrasco steak was delicious and so was the ropa vieja and the fried fish. The only thing we didn't like is that the congri was too sweet. And the flan looked so delicious but it was a bit over cooked.

Definitely should be on your list of Cuban restaurants to try. Vaca Frita was great. Picadillo empanada, tostones, ham croquetta, yucca frita, cafe con leche and maduros were all good. My wife said the the black beans were the best that she has had in Atlanta. Muy bueno!

Amazing Cuban food! I had the steak with rice and beans, and everything was full of flavor and cooked perfectly. I also tried the chicken and beef empanadas -- both were crispy, savory, and absolutely delicious. Great portions, great taste, and a meal I'll definitely be coming back for!

Very cute small restaurant! Came with two friends and when seated only given one full menu and three lunch paper menus. We shared the one menu till she came back with our drinks and asked for two more. Food was delicious but service was very lacking. Only three tables dining and our server never came back to check on us and we seriously needed drink refills. My friend had to finally get up and go ask to please bring us refills. Needless to say we won't be back. On another note the Hovan restaurant next door was busy and after looking up their menu which looked very good and great prices will go there to try.

This place was amazing! Super cute for date night, girls night, anything! Service is quick, staff is super friendly. I had a Piccadillo bowl and my husband had a ropa vieja bowl. I also ordered a side of congri, which wasn't necessary but so worth it! I left feeling stuffed and so satisfied. Definitely recommend this place

I really enjoyed my visit to Azucar. I ran across them thanks to social media. We went on a Sunday afternoon and were able to seat ourselves. Upon walking in, you're captivated by the interior. They have a live tree in the middle of the restaurant and is filled with nice lights. We decided to order some appetizers and drinks. We went with the beef empanadas and yuca fries. The filling was so delicious and I loved the crunchiness of the pastry. That garlic and cilantro dipping sauce was bomb too. It also came with the yuca fries and those were too good as well. The drinks we ordered were the coconut mojito and the mango margarita. I don't even like mojitos but I tasted it and it was superb! It www a nice creamy coconut flavor and strong. It was made very well and hit the mark. The mango margarita was delicious as well and I loved it. It too was STRONG and all around tasty. For the entrees we order the skinny pollo and the palomilla steak. Both came with black beans, white rice, plantains, and a salad. When I tell you the meats, black beans, and rice or seasoning so well. Everything was nice and buttery, which made it taste so good. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I love a good fried plantain and the sweetness from them complemented the steak and onions very well. This was a nice comfort meal and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff were nice and the service was fast. I will definitely be back because there are some other things on the menu I'd love to try and the food was phenomenal.

So glad I finally visited this restaurant. I liked the decoration, all the lights, the beautiful tree right at the middle, it gives a pretty cool vibe. I came for lunch with a friend and we got some mojitos (delicious and so fresh), we also ordered the lunch bowls: generous amount of delicious food! And we finished with some iced coffee. Service was very friendly and, at the end of our lunch we were asked about our experience, I value when the owners/managers/staff ask you about your visit. Overall, great place, great prices, delicious authentic flavors. I'll be coming back for sure.

I came here after work one day on a whim, and I was so pleasantly surprised. This restaurant is located next to other little restaurants and shops. Parking is tight, but I lucked out on a space in front of the restaurant. Inside, the restaurant was clean and nicely decorated. There were a handful of customers, which is what you'd expect on a weeknight. My server was prompt and friendly. I ordered a watermelon juice, a side salad, and the skinny chicken (I think?). The watermelon juice was SO refreshing. The side salad was delicious and large enough to be an entree if you added some protein. The entree was just what I expected--all the flavors were there and there was a good portion. My bill was around 40 bucks with tip. They also have outside seating. I had a great experience here and would definitely add it to my list of go to spots!

This was my first time at Azucar Cuban Cuisine and it was an amazing experience! I had the beef empanadas and the ropa vieja, both were absolutely delicious and so fresh. I also ordered an iced espresso to go which was just as tasty. I sat at the bar and my server Brian was fantastic. He was super friendly, fast, and very helpful in guiding me through the menu and recommending things to try. The service was excellent from start to finish. I'll definitely be coming back and if you're in the area this spot is absolutely worth a visit!

Really blown away by this restaurant and I really hope it continues to get the recognition that it deserves because the Cuban food was spot on. Reminded us a lot of home back up in the north east. It can be hard to find really good Cuban food atleast in the south but this spot in Atlanta kills it. They were very accommodating as well. Really great scenery as well so amazing date night spot.

Ambience great. Service was fine. Food however was very average, over salted burrito with mostly rice. Pretty pricey for Chipotle. Drinks had hardly any alcohol and they were "out" of mojitos (but had 5 bottles of rum) We also had reservations and they wanted to sit us at the bar

Went on Sunday afternoon and it was pretty empty. Our server was really nice although she brought me a cup with ice when I asked without and brought the churrasco with the wrong side. The churrasco with white rice and the tostones (which was the side that was ordered but I didn't get right off the bat when the order was brought) was really good. I thought one cup of rice would not be enough but it was. The bartender was nice and turned up the volume when he noticed my boyfriend was watching the soccer game on the restaurant TV. The one thing is that the table was a tiny bit dirty, not much, but I could see some bits.

We came here for Cuban food which I was missing so much and they didn't disappoint. The server was very attentive and polite. The decor was very cute and I loved the large tree in the center of the dining area. The music was playing not too loud and it reminded me of home. The food was very good although I was a little disappointed that they didn't have more legitimate Cuban entrees, deserts or sodas. There is so much variety I felt they are missing out on but overall was a nice experience

Wow We transported to Miami and "The Real Cuban Food". Enjoyed Cuban sandwiches and were Delicious. Fries came with were plenty a yummy. Bread fresh light toasting. Sandwich melted in mouth. Brian our Server/ Bartender knows his stuff. Friendly and helpful. Atmosphere and music playing was so relaxing. We will be back! Mz

Your new go to Cuban spot! They have the best sandwiches here. Super cute on the inside and well decorated. Staff was very friendly and service was quick!

I will definitely be back! The mango juice was so fresh, the salmon and steak were so well seasoned, and the rice and beans were perfect. The interior is so cute and the vibes are chill and the staff gave stuff good service. Just happened to walk by and thought I'd give them a try and so glad a did. The one down side was my steak was a little fatty but again the taste was great.

So this spot has an outdoor in an indoor type of environment. A lot of the places in this little small strip mall have a lot of patio seeding so this is actually on brand. And it's covered so if it's raining or whatever the case may be, you can still sit outside and eat. The way staff was super friendly. I couldn't decide what I wanted on my first time going and I ended up trying to change my order right after I made it and they accommodated. I thought that was really awesome. I went near closing time and they didn't make me feel like they were rushing me so that was really cool too So everybody was super friendly. So they don't have a full bar is what you would expect a place to have but they do have plenty of rum. Obviously it's a Cuban spot so rum is probably their deal lol. You'll see the bottles in the background of the bar area. But if you want to go ahead and have a plethora of drink options this may not be for you. But that's okay! Loaded tostones - For an appetizer these are damn good. I got shredded beef on them. It's basically smash and fried and topped with meat and cheese and it was really really good. El Cubano - see I ordered something different initially but then I'm thinking to myself, let me get what they're known for. Let me get the core item and then I could deviate next time I come if it's good. And it was. Came with fries and the fries were perfectly crispy and seasoned. The sandwich itself was also really good. I could have eaten another one lol! It didn't get inundated with condiments or anything like that, and it was very flavorful. Overall this spot was a really good selection, considering I just came on a whim lol. Will I go back, yes.

The food is absolutely amazing, and the service is impeccable!! The vibe is relaxed and casual, and it's easy to just sit with friends/family. Evelyn is so friendly, prompt, and helpful. I will definitely be back to try more of the menu.

Such a hidden gem! Came in for a nice bite and was treated to a meal full of flavor and some of the nicest staff ever! Sat in their patio, super cute place! Cannot recommend the food enough!!! Literally so delicious!!

Cute place, hope they can continue to grow! Went here on a Friday night shortly before they were about to close. The waiter was kind and didn't turn us away. We got a Cuban Sammy and a Ropa Vieja Sammy. Both were fresh and delicious! My favorite part was the plantains. Definitely will be back to explore the food and drink menu.

The food and the drinks are amazing the meat is so tender and flavorful. The staff is extremely nice and welcoming . I was here by myself so that was nice its so good got an order to go

I went to this restaurant when it first opened and was blown away by what they did redecorating the interior and the food was first rate! Went back again today with my brother and the food was actually better! They've settled into their groove and have a beautiful little spot with delicious food. The service is first rate, friendly and accommodating. Had to have the Cuban sandwich again to compare to my first trip, and it again was out of this world. Moist, tender and loaded with pork. Absolutely delicious. If you haven't been here yet, give yourself a treat and stop by!

We arrived as a stopover on our way to St. Paul and saw this on Yelp. It did not disappoint. The inside is fun & lively. Patio dining too but too hot for us. I had the Churrasco steak and my wife had the salmon salad. The plantains were so good. We both really enjoyed them. Steak cooked perfectly. It is a bit loud inside. But super fun! Would def go back!

Food Was Amazing. Excellent Waiters. Great vibes overall. Would definitely recommend! Great Drinks Too! Especially the summer specials!

Great food, atmosphere, and even better service. We came for a late lunch early dinner. The restaurant is perfectly set up for any type of dining experience you wish. You can eat inside, outside, alone, with your family, or a larger group. The inside is not the biggest of places, but there is plenty of room outside. There is a full bar located inside in which you can sit and order as well. We got the Ham Croquetas as an appetizer. I ordered the Palomilla steak, which comes with white rice, black beans, 2 smaller sweet plantains, and a small salad. We also ordered El Cubano and a kids Quesadilla. Both of those came with a side of fries, which you can substitute for another side for $1.50. To start, the Ham Croquetas were some of the best I have ever had. They were stuffed with a generous amount and had a perfect crunch on the outside. Fried to perfection! The Palomilla was excellent. It is usually my go-to, but it was also recommended by the waiter. There are two steaks topped with onions, which are charred and seasoned. I highly recommend. The rice and beans were delicious and the sweet plantains were a perfect dessert for me. I tried the other items and highly enjoyed them. El Cubano is a perfect combination of flavors. The Quesadilla is a perfect size for the kids. The portion size is enough to take some home. They give you a great sized portion, especially for the prices you pay. I will definitely be coming back to this location and I am glad to have tried it. To make the experience better, the waiter that we had was very friendly and helpful. I will be dreaming about the Croquetas until I return!

Enjoyed the ambiance at this new Cuban joint in Dunwoody. It felt like it was very authentic Cuban cuisine. I love going to Calle Ocho in Miami for Cuban food, so this was pretty close to that. I got the "La Playa": grilled salmon with rice and beans and plantains. It was delicious and clean. I just wished they would add beef and chicken empanadas to the menu. Oh and their cafe con leche was delicious too (just would've liked it in a porcelain cafe cup vs paper cup for dine-in).

I wanted to like this spot. The yucca fries were over cooked, the Cuban sandwich literally had no flavor whatsoever and service needs some work. Only redeeming qualities were the drinks which if I wanted to just drink it would be perfect.

Brain, Matt and their entire staff are so professional, fun and accommodating. The vibe inside and out is also fun and relaxing. The food is truly Cuban and delicious. This is my go to in the neighborhood. I love it! Highly, highly recommend. And they have live music Friday and Saturday nights. Dogs are welcome outside on the patio - a real plus! Neighborhood gem for sure!

Disappointed on a Special Night I was excited to celebrate our 15th anniversary here with family and friends, but the experience was a major letdown. We had a reservation for 10 at 8pm, but arrived to find our table already taken. We were told we had to sit outside--an option we were never given--and it was miserable: no fans, bugs flying everywhere. After asking to move indoors, we waited 20 minutes for drinks and 35 minutes for food, which was bland and overcooked. The shrimp were tough, black beans flavorless, fish unseasoned, and plantains mushy. We ended up apologizing to our guests for choosing this place. Definitely won't be back.

Convenient parking, quick service, cute interior, great music, and delicious food! We got the ham croquetas which were lovely & I ordered the chicken Milanesa which came with beans, rice, and maduros. It was a generous serving. The mango juice was refreshing on a warm summer evening.

So the place is dimly lit with the salsa music at the perfect volume. The bartender/host/waiter Sal, was cool from the moment we arrived and served quickly and efficiently. The food is very tasty and well portioned. We had pan con bistec, croquetas and maduros. Great restaurant so much better than 90% of the wannabe cuban spots around Atlanta. Definitely recommend

Very impressive - good/great service from the moment we walked into the restaurant. Atmosphere is also fun with good inside seating and a great deck area. We ordered the Food Truck Fries and the El Cubano. Food was delivered on time and tasted AMAZING. We will definitely be back soon.

Typical Cuban food but the sandwich was a little bland. The seasoned fries made up for that. Drinks are priced at a premium. Nice place to meet for coffee.

I sat at the bar and my server was on her personal phone the whole time. I felt like I was interrupting her personal time. The food was strange. A common Cuban plate served in separate bowls! What? Beans in one bowl, pulled pork in another and a corn salsa in another, rice on the actual plate. The menu says pickled onions, but I got none on my plate. Not Cuban. Probably won't be back.

Food was good. Service was lacking. Overall ambiance could be improved. Note: there is a TV at the bar but it was sitting idle with the typical "sleep mode" screen. You can tell the local community wants this to be a great spot!

The food was delicious and I'm from South Florida, I know good Cuban food. The inside was beautiful and the service was very quick. I'm in a wheelchair and had no problems.

It's a sad day when you have to wait thirty minutes for croquettes. On top of that you watch other folks at the bar, who arrived well after you did, get served more complex dishes before you, get their food before you. The staff's excuse for this mistake is that they were crowded. One would think that after over a year of being open they would have worked the kinks out. However, that is not the case here. I had big hopes for this place. Don't fall for the hype though, steer clear.

After several visits I just discovered the Frita Cubana(Cubana hamburger). Fantastic! When you're hungry for a burger and want something a little different. Ground chorizo, Angus beef and pork topped with potatoe sticks, lettuce, tomato, onions and salsa rosata on brioche bun! Oh, did I mention the full bar? Great mojitos and the watermelon margarita is just the thing on a hot day!

Decided to check out this restaurant on a rainy Saturday for lunch. It more than exceeded my expectations. The inside is cute and quaint with cozy decor. It was the perfect spot for a good and quick little lunch. Very casual. Everything we tried was delicious and flavorful. We tried the toastones and media noche. I forgot to take a picture of the guava filled empanada because I was too excited to try it! I really enjoyed this restaurant & will definitely be back again!

Excellent dinner last night at Azucar Cuban Cuisine. Full range of delicious entrees, shrimp, pulled pork, simmered beef, chicken milanese, etc. accompanied by tasty tosterones, yucca, plantains, congri. If you're not sure, start with the Tour of Cuba appetizer which includes ham and cheese croquettes and empanadas. Pleasant, attentive service. Fun salsa vibe music. Highly recommended.

I ordered a drink( vodka & cranberry). It came back a pink watered down drink. I ordered a shot on top and it still wasn't tasting like a drink. This place wasn't nothing like the instagram video. I will never go back!. The Cuban sandwich was very dry . I'm Cuban and it was very disappointing......

Stopped by on the way home from work. Ordered the Croquettas - and they were delicious! I also had the Frita Cubana with French Fries. The burger was perfectly seasoned and juicy & the fries were amazing. I ordered it to go, the service and atmosphere seemed very good, but I didn't eat in the restaurant.

Great vibes. Fantastic steak & chimichurri. Mojito was so fresh and strong. The owner was constantly checking and making sure things were running smooth. Place was packed and it took a little while, but that's to be expected.

Had a Cuban sandwich that was wonderful. Service was great. We sat at the bar. The ambience was so nice inside. Will go back soon

A few friends and I went here for lunch and it was great! The owner was there and super friendly and accommodating! Talked to him a bit and he told us they were struggling with waitstaff so hopefully he can find good folks because the food was delicious and true Cuban food! Super cool with the tree inside and can't wait to enjoy the patio when it's warmer! The lunch bowl specials were great and everyone loved their food! Highly recommend and will definitely go back!

Music is too loud! Please turn down the volume. So noisy it's hard to hear. Won't be back.

Delicious sandwiches!! Had the El Cubano and Ropa Vieja. Warm, crusty bread with perfectly seasoned meats Great churros too! We will be back!
