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.
