PURO ceviche bar

This was our first time here and will definitely be our last. My daughter and I had reservations had late afternoon reservations, upon our arrival we were greeted by the bartender while the music was playing. It gave off such a nice and inviting vibe. We were seated and knew right away what we wanted as we checked out the menu prior. We started with drinks which we had the Puro Passion and Passionate from miles away which were both a 10/10. My daughter ordered the Bria Tacos, while I had the Camarones which came out hot with a nice spicy kick to it. The portions were perfect... To top it all off we had Tres Leches on the house. Between the atmosphere, drinks and food I give this a 10/10. I will be definitely making sure to come back on a monthly basis.

Puro in Boston absolutely blew me away! From the moment I walked in, everything felt so thoughtfully curated—from the stylish, cozy interior to the warm welcome at the door. But the true highlight of my night was the incredible service I received from Victoria. She was, hands down, one of the best servers I’ve ever had. So friendly, so attentive, and just radiating positive energy the entire evening. She took the time to walk us through the menu, made fantastic recommendations (which we LOVED), and checked in at just the right times—never intrusive, always on point. You can tell she genuinely cares about making sure guests have an amazing experience. The food? Absolutely phenomenal. Every dish was packed with flavor and beautifully presented—it was almost too pretty to eat (almost!). Cocktails were equally impressive—balanced, creative, and just the right kick. Puro has such a great vibe, whether you’re out for a special night or just craving something delicious in a stylish spot. I left already planning my next visit—and I’m definitely requesting Victoria again. She made an already fantastic dinner feel truly special. Thank you, Victoria and the Puro team, for a perfect night out!

We had a great experience especially when it came to their ceviche mixto—easily a 10/10. The flavors were bright, fresh, and perfectly balanced, exactly what you’d expect from great Peruvian ceviche. The patatas were also a standout, crispy and flavorful also a 10/10. However, while the seafood was generally solid, the restaurant seems to lean a bit away from traditional Peruvian flavors in some dishes. The grilled octopus (7/10), for example, was well-cooked but felt more like something from a Greek restaurant rather than a Peruvian spot. Similarly, the tuna (7/10) and octopus ceviches (6/10) lacked the same boldness that made the mixto shine and seemed weird. If they doubled down on authentic Peruvian roots, especially with dishes like the ceviche mixto, this place could be truly exceptional. Still, if you’re looking for fresh, well-prepared seafood, it’s definitely worth a visit. 4.3/5 overall!

Haven't been here in a while but their Taco Tuesdays are where it's at with low-priced delicious and nutritious tacos. My friend and I go to absolute town and I can't move when I'm done. Don't know about the other days of the week. Can't wait to go back. Oh and ah, sometimes they blast the reggaeton at Max volume. For me it’s worth it but they could turn the knob down a little.

Phenomenal Birthday Celebration at Puro Ceviche! I recently celebrated my birthday at Puro Ceviche with my girlfriends, and it was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the manager, Luis, who provided exceptional service throughout the night. We went all out and ordered every single item on the menu, and let me tell you—not one dish disappointed! Every plate was served hot, fresh, and delicious. In a group of ten, not a single person had a complaint or needed to send anything back. A special shoutout to Natasha, who surprised me and my girls with birthday shots, making the night even more memorable! The energy, the service, and the overall experience were top-notch. This was my third visit, and I can confidently say it won’t be my last. If you’re looking for a place with incredible food, outstanding service, and a great atmosphere, Puro Ceviche is the spot. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We just got out of the restaurant. There was 2 servers at 4.10pm and nobody served us, they did not even give us the menu until I asked. The male server led us to the table in the corner between the restroom and behind us was a 4 people table, the space was super small. We asked for moving to another table and the female server said we could. We moved there and nobody took our order. And then, we walked out and saw that they were outside and chit chatting. What a bad service, I have not tried the food yet but not coming back ever!

If you’re a lover of ceviche, I highly recommend this place. I ordered the ceviche mixto, which was very delicious. I would love to eventually try every kind of ceviche here. The oysters were not chucked perfectly, but they were still tasty and satisfactory. The inside of this place is quite small and can get a bit claustrophobic when there’s a lot of people. Be sure to make a reservation if you’re wanting to sit inside. There was outdoor seating as well, which is convenient when the weather is nice. Overall, great place for some high quality ceviche.

Super cool spot. Food was great and flavorful! Our bartender Diego was amazing, he made sure we were well taken care of. Definitely coming back!

I was very impressed with Puro! First of all, great location - love Newbury Street. The ambiance was really fun, with funky art on the wall. Loved the bright colors too. The service was also pretty solid. I'm a huge fan of pisco sours and this place did them right. All the dishes we tried were tasty and nicely done. Always a fan of ceviche and octopus especially. I'd be happy to come back!

Located on Newbury St. downstairs and a MUST try. I was visiting from California with my family looking to try Paella and stumbled upon this restaurant. The place has a unique dark vibe interior which I loved. We went on a rainy day for lunch and was seated right away with friendly service. The food was amazing and they definitely KNOW their Ceviche. What we ordered: Paella : 10/10 ~ This was so so so good and must be given a try. We had clams, shrimp, and mussels in it. It usually comes with calamari but we had to get it removed due to an allergy concern within the family and they were so accommodating. ~ I would prefer to have the bottom of the rice be crispy instead of it being a bit soggy from the sauce but still tasted amazing. Pulpo a la Plancha : 8/10 ~ was good but would prefer the octopus to be more crispy Sea Bass Ceviche : 10/10 ~ FAVORITE!!! I love the sauce mixed with the cut up veggies and sea bass. Everything was balanced so well with the chip and must try. ~ Wish there was a bit more chip though Elote Pancake : 7/10 ~ This was okay not my favorite due to it being more like a cake texture.

This unassuming spot on Newbury street surprised us - this spot KNOWS ceviche. The ceviche is pricey for sure - but it's probably amongst the best ceviche I've had. The fried calamari ($14) was fried golden crisp and came with delicious sauces. The tuna ceviche ($20) was a delight - it's easy for tuna to be fishy nut you could not taste fishiness at all, just a refreshing zing from the citrus contrasted with delicious, fatty avocado. BF really enjoyed the steak tacos ($23). The staff were all super nice and the food came out quickly :)

I visited PURO with a group of friends lunch after walking around the city and we had a great experience. We started off rough though because I got a dirty water cup but our server quickly replaced it when I asked for a new one. I ordered the ceviche to share with my partner, it was nicely chilled, sweet with a bit of heat. I ordered the mejillos con coco as my main dish and it was delicious, loved the bread and the clams were a nice size and was seasoned well!

This was place was a good drink spot! We got really lucky as we walked in since we snagged an outdoor patio spot. We got the mojito sampler which was so good - the guava one was my favorite

Came here for a brunch and got seated immediately outside which was what we wanted. Good: - The ceviche was good, a little expensive but I liked the tuna one. - The paella was good - lots of materials and flavor, some crispy rice too - You can choose outdoor or indoor seating which gave us plenty of options at 2 pm Bad: It took forever for the food to get there even though there weren't that many people eating, took about an hour for our paella to get there so don't come while you're in a rush It's pretty expensive even if you just share a few tapas and the paella with friends! Overall, might not go again due to the wait, but the food overall was decent.

Eating at a restaurant is meant to be a relaxing experience, but having to use only electronics to view the menu, order, and pay, changes the mood to less enjoyable. Can't believe another reviewer says the Pisco sauers were "done right". They were watery and far too sweet, couldn't even taste the pisco.

Located on Newbury. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Space is indoors is a bit cramped. Our waiter was very attentive and speedy. Food was good but nothing spectacular. All in all we had a good meal.

Delicious, unbelievably flavorful Valentine's dinner. Ceviche Mixto, Pulpo a la Plancha, Lengua Tacos, Palmitas Ensalada. All food was amazing. Service was great, paid $5 for the Valentine's Polaroid picture and now have a great memento. Only critical feedback is on the bar - it's a cordials only license, and the cocktails are sadly not meeting my expectations for the price point - but that's a relatively small criticism next to the impressive dining - and they have wines as well. Bartender prepared a special sangria that was really great as well.

" Ceviche World and Fancy Latin Cuisine " We came in for some appetizers and drinks. The portions are large . We had the shrimp ceviche and pork tacos . We also had the avocado and chips . This was more than enough for 4x adults . (We had eaten earlier though ). The food tasted fresh . It tasted of high quality ingredients, like the good stuff . The presentation was gourmet style , fancy . (Good bold flavors , tasty). That's why I was surprised the portions were so large . Hey , I am not complaining. Just stating facts . I wanted to try the plantains . I seen a table near us order them , they looked yummy . But, it was already too much food for us . Parking is difficult but manageable. If you find it , it will be metered . They do have a parking garage close though . This place is modérate with drinks it gets expensive. However if you want fancy Hispanic food this is your go to .

The food is good but service extremely slow and some of the worst I've seen recently. Best to avoid!

I LOVED LOVED LOOOOOOVED this place. My friend and I passed by a sign that said "3 must haves in Boston: Lobster Rolls, Oysters & Seafood" and well, we had already tried the lobster rolls so of course oysters and seafood were next on the list. My friend found this place through tiktok I think, and oh my god.. I am so glad she did. They offer walk ins as well as reservations, we came around 5pm so luckily we didnt need a reservation. They offer indoor and outdoor seating, we sat outside in the next cool weather. On their sign it said that $1 oysters were available on Thursdays but the server said they also offered it the day we went (Wednesdays) - so we first started off with 6 oysters,,, just to try. Then we also ordered the Ceviche Mixto, the pictures looked super appetizing. Ceviche Mixto- Probably one of my favorite ceviches ever. The diced raw fish, octopus, and shrimp...oh my. It was super sour but super delicious. Oysters on the half shell- the first 6 was so good that we had to order more 8 more. The first 6 we had were fresh, and clean. The additional 8 had 6 sandy ones and 2 clean ones. We were a little disappointed since they werent cleaned well but overall, the oysters were great for it being only $1 each. If I were to ever come back to Boston, I would definetly come here again.

If you're a lover of ceviche, I highly recommend this place. I ordered the ceviche mixto, which was very delicious. I would love to eventually try every kind of ceviche here. The oysters were not chucked perfectly, but they were still tasty and satisfactory. The inside of this place is quite small and can get a bit claustrophobic when there's a lot of people. Be sure to make a reservation if you're wanting to sit inside. There was outdoor seating as well, which is convenient when the weather is nice. Overall, great place for some high quality ceviche.

I'm actually obsessed with this place. It's so cute in here and their seafood is bomb. The ceviche mixto was incredible and their shrimp tacos were so good- the tortillas tasted so fresh and the shrimp was so tender. Our server was so nice and helpful with recommendations. I need to go back asap!

Came here in a group of 3 for dinner on Thursday. We split the patatas bravas ($12), sea bass ceviche ($18), tacos de vegetables ($15), and paella ($38). This was plenty of food for 3 of us and we ended up with some leftovers. The vegetable tacos were surprisingly flavorful. It had mostly roasted squash and some tomato and sort of tasted like ratatouille wrapped in a tortilla with some cheese on top. The tortilla itself was a bit mushy for my liking but I was a fan of the vegetables. I thought the patatas bravas were decent, but I wouldn't get them again. They were kind of dry and tasted like homefries with spicy mayo on top. I had high hopes for the sea bass ceviche since this place is called a ceviche bar! The ceviche was extremely tart, likely due to the passion fruit and heaps of lime juice. The fish was fresh so I'd probably try a different ceviche next time. The paella was super filling and they are generous with the meat and seafood portions. As other reviewers have mentioned, it wasn't very crispy on the bottom and was on the soggier side. It was also heavily seasoned-- very salty! It was a good dish to share between multiple people. Overall, I didn't hate anything I got but also wasn't super blown away by anything. This seems like a fun place to go for dollar oysters on Thursdays. The cocktails also looked fun although I didn't try any.

Some of the reviews really got me excited for this restaurant, only to be let down. All the drinks are SUPER sweet, you're better off sticking to wine or straight liquor. For dinner, the portion sizes are rather large- I did appreciate the waitress letting us know we had ordered enough appetizers, and to cancel 2 of them. We ended up having way more than enough food for 2 people. We sampled the tuna ceviche, elotes locos, patatas bravas, and mejillos con coco (mussels). All of the dishes were average; none were amazing and all lacked seasoning. The environment itself is really cute. I love the colorful murals, the decor, and the feel of a "small bar". I was disappointed in the drinks, and not blown away by any of the food, so I probably would not return here again.

There was nice outdoor seating right on Newbury St. However, there was a large lag between getting meals, so much so that one person was done eating by the time my food came out. Some dishes were good - the Sea Bass Ceviche was flavorful. But some were less so - the Birria Tacos were bland and not really spiced at all and the stew that it came with for dipping was the same.

Found this place on the map and decided to try it out! We walked in to Puro Ceviche located in one of the basement units on Newbury at around noon on a Sunday to a completely empty restaurant, and were seated promptly. All the dishes we tried were pretty delicious, and they even offered us extra chips to go with the ceviche. I loved how tender the octopus, shrimp, and scallops were in the ceviche and the sauce was perfectly tangy to my taste! Elotes was pretty standard, and the Branzino was perfectly cooked as well for people looking to try some other seafood on the menu. It felt like they were trying to rush us out a little, but overall a good experience.

So we waited 1.5 hours for the waitress to take our order, and then the food was extremely mediocre for the price point. Don't do it unless you're a tourist in the city with no better options, seriously. Utterly disappointed.

This restaurant is a hidden gem thats conveniently located on Newbury street. I've been a regular and I am constantly amazed by how incredible the food is! I always get the mussels that are made with coconut milk and Thai paste. The tacos are fresh and protein is perfectly cooked. They do $3 tacos on Tuesdays and $1 oysters on Thursdays. This place is small and it gets crowded quickly. Sometimes I'd feel like the waitress is urging for me to get out of the restaurant but will still return nonetheless!

Great hidden spot with amazing ceviche - we had the octopus and sea bass ceviche and then the shrimp tacos and all of it was just so good. Even the plantain chips you get. Ambiance is a great hidden spot below the stairs and a good energy for our late night

A genuine, comparatively less overpriced spot on Newbury! We were a group of 3 walking in on a Friday around 6:30 and got seated at a large table. We only ordered enough food for half a dinner probably: Seabass ceviche - fresh, a decent amount of fish compared to other mix ins, but couldn't really appreciate the usual butteriness of cooked seabass. Not super memorable. 3/5 Calamari - the tubes were so mini and cute, fun to crunch on! But a small portion, 3.5/5 Fish tacos - these were less of that typical beer batter-type fried fish, more just a thin spiced breading, so texturally it wasn't very satisying to bite into. Flavors were good, but not memorable either, 3.5/5 Cachapa - my favorite! A corn pancake with a sweet maple butter flavor but the corn flavor comes through too and you get little bites of corn kernels plus saltiness from the queso fresco. The texture is dense but soft, not fluffy, kind of like Sarma's cornbread, more like a pudding. The smoked aioli highlights the sweet and savory combo wonderfully! 5/5!!

SO delicious! Would highly recommend. The ceviche is fresh and extremely flavorful--a great summer dish. The calamari was well fried, and I loved the peppers that came with the dish. The ceviche mixto was my favorite--a great variety of fresh seafood in a citrusy, tart sauce that was extremely refreshing. The tuna ceviche is still an amazing option (and much cheaper). Overall, very reasonably priced for the quality.

Would have given a 4 but the server was extremely nice and found space for us on a fully booked night. The food was good, however the drinks could have been a little better.

Despite there being some technical difficulties when we entered the restaurant, the manager was very quick to accommodate us and still provided us with great service during a busy time. The selection of menu items was excellent - we found it difficult to choose just a couple dishes, but we soon realized we had made the right choice when ordering the shrimp ceviche and the tacos de carnitas. Our food came out promptly, was fresh and nicely plated, and exceeded our expectations for taste. We decided to end our dinner with an order of churros, which was absolutely the cherry on top as they were piping hot and cooked to perfection. Overall, we found that all the food was very high quality, and it's definitely worth stopping by this spot for excellent service, delicious dishes, and overall great vibes and ambiance. Will be coming back!

Love this place. Very nice atmosphere, great and friendly staff, and amazing food! My favorites are the ceviche dishes, oysters and shrimp tacos.

Great vibes, very small and intimate. They do not have a full liquor license so if you're looking for a good cocktail, this is not your spot. The drink I got was very sour and citrusy.. and wasn't a huge fan(Soi Y Sol) However, the food was AMAZING. We finally found a place that served aguachile and it was to die for! The tuna ceviche was also very tasty. We ordered carnitas tacos and the fish taco. All were very flavorful as well! I hope they eventually get a full liquor license because this is such a cute date night spot and would love a nice spirit forward cocktail. Service was also pretty slow at the beginning but that's understandable for a busy place.

I love seafood and ceviche so I was excited to try PURO ceviche bar. We tried two ceviches and a paella. Overall there were some hits and some misses. We tried to go by the ratings that were left on the ordering website, but those were purely positive reviews so didn't help much in choosing. The sea bass ceviche was very mid. Just a lot of sour mango liquid dominating the flavor. The fish was fine I guess but I couldn't really appreciate it. The ceviche mixto was good! But of course more expensive. The best part was the shrimp, which was very plump and juicy. I would get the shrimp ceviche instead. The rest of the seafood in it was good but not outstanding. The sauce was more creamy so it was more mild and had more dimensions than the sea bass ceviche. I would go for this sauce for future ceviche. The paella was good but not great. It was quite wet and saucy, and rather than having some crisp at the bottom, was just burnt (but simultaneously some of the rice was underdone). The seafood (clam, mussels, squid) was cooked slightly over what I would've liked, but still had good seafood flavor. The shrimp was, once again, the star. I could've done without the chorizo. Overall I would prefer paella at Barcelona for the flavor, texture, and seafood, but PURO does have better shrimp. We also got the virgin mojito which was the perfect sweetness level and flavor and went really well with the food. My ultimate conclusion here was that I would like to know the shrimp provider for this restaurant. I could see myself coming back here just for the shrimp ceviche...

Came in without a reservation around 7 on a Saturday and they were able to seat us (party of three) at the bar right away, though the restaurant itself was not too big with only 4-5 tables and bar seating. Overall a nice dining experience with fast service and prices what you would expect for a place on Newbury Street. The bar did not have any hooks built in, but I did notice some on some on the other free-standing tables that you could hook a bag to so you wouldn't have to put your stuff on the floor. As for the food, we tried the corn, octopus, tuna ceviche (unfortunately they were out of the sea bass ceviche), carnitas tacos, and fish tacos. Tacos were well-filled and it would definitely be worth it to come back for their taco special on Tuesdays, though they have increased the price from $2 to $3 per taco (still much better than their normal price of $15+ for three tacos). One of the tacos did get quite soggy and fell apart making it difficult to eat however. The corn and the octopus were also slightly too charred for my taste and the corn could have used more of the toppings. We also tried the pisco sour which was nice and sweet, didn't taste very alcoholic at all. Would come back on a Tuesday for the tacos and ceviche, otherwise probably would not revisit.

Place was pretty empty on a Fri night and unfortunately we received blatantly rotten mussels that smelled even with the sauce at the table. Shrimp and lobster tasted frozen and certainly not up to expectations. No attempt to rectify from wait staff.

A pretty chill spot to hangout and grab some drinks. Their Tuna Nikkei Ceviche was very interesting. As I should have inferred from the name, it got a Japanese twist to it with a soy sauce base sauce. Didn't quite know how to feel about that, maybe it needed a little more pepper and citrus, but all in all not bad. Fresh fish and the plantain chips were crispy. The Pisto was also very nice and comforting. Reminded me of Ratatouille topped with a fried quail egg. Sweet with all the stewed veggies that worked great with toasted bread. Would have been better if the egg was runny.

The biggest complaint I have about PURO is that I didn't come hungry - definitely a mistake on my side because everything looked and smelled absolutely incredible! Came here during a quick trip to Boston and was bopping around Newbury Street to various wine/tapas bars. The reviews of PURO were enough to drive us in for "a quick drink" to check it out, and we ended up staying there for much longer than that... and finding room to have more food. The whole ambiance at PURO is just really cute - would make for a great date spot with the amazing artwork displayed at the bar flanked by wine bottles and throughout the entire space. There's a mix of bar seats, high tops, and bench seats/regular dining, so while it's not a huge space, there was decent seating (we came on a Tuesday night though, so it probably wasn't as crowded as it would have been on a weekend or on Thursday when they apparently have $1 oysters!). There are plenty of options for different wines and sangrias, a really solid cocktail list (including mojito flights!), and some various beer options, but most people were ordering cocktails (I'm also kicking myself for not getting our bartender's name because she was absolutely lovely and so attentive/friendly - next time!). I found post-pasta room in my stomach to try the ceviche - I mean how can you not?! The tuna ceviche was delicious and so fresh! I absolutely need to return and just make a meal out of the different tapas options on the menu; everything that was coming out of the kitchen looked and smelled so good. We were also brought out churros which was a really nice surprise; they came out hot and delicious with great sauce options (always need a dip!). All in all, this was a fantastic find - incredible, super vibey ambiance, amazing bartender, and great drinks and food selection in a low-key kind of atmosphere. Cannot wait to be back with a MUCH larger appetite.

What an awesome find! My partner and I were nearby Marriott Copley and walked to this place on a Thursday evening, and luckily we were able to get a spot at the bar since we didn't have a reservation - it's quite the small spot, but a cool atmosphere with great art on the walls. We were promptly greeted by the kind bartender who mentioned something about oysters, but I couldn't hear him that well. I ended up accidentally ordering a dozen (I meant to say half dozen), and it was the best mistake, b/c what I realized the bartender said was that there were $1 oysters that night! Super win. In addition to the oysters, I got a delicious glass of red sangria, and we shared the seafood paella, which was a nice size and quite flavorful. The service was fantastic, and this was definitely one of the best dinners I have had while in Boston - highly recommended!

Food was overall food an ambiance is cute (wood tables, good music, nice murals on walls on Newbury). But server was way way way too attentive to the point where we felt super rushed. We had an early reservation (5:30) on Saturday of Valentine's Day and the place had legit one other table and he was at our table so much I felt we were dinjng with him. In reality I think we trying to rush us iut before rush started.

First time having ceviche so no point of comparison. Ordered the shrimp ceviche. Split a tuna ceviche and patatas bravas and tried some of the white fish ceviche. Patatas could have been a little crispier but the sauce was good. The tuna was probably my favorite followed by the white fish and then the one I ordered was my least favorite. They all had little quirks though. The shrimps themselves were really good and I don't even like shrimp but the sauce was way too bitter and acidic for me. The white fish ceviche was also a bit too sweet. We had a friendly and helpful server and it's a nice space. Overall a solid restaurant in the back bay. A bit expensive for what it is but I guess that's Boston.

I love this restaurant and go frequently...the food is amazing, fresh and authentic with many interesting menu options. Service is wonderful...all the servers are professional and helpful with choices. The restaurant is small but cozy and I enjoy dining on their patio and people watching on Newbury. Tacos are excellent, several ceviche choices...quality is consistent.

Came here dolo on a warm weekend evening and ordered the Tacos de Pollo. They were okay at best, not amazing, but not horrible. I ate outside which is fun because it's on Newbury Street and they have a fair amount of outdoor seating--about 30 to 40 seats. The servers were pretty chill, friendly and attentive. I told myself I don't think I have a reason to come back especially since the tacos here a pretty pricey and the portions of the other food don't look very sizable. As I walked in the establishment to use the bathroom I was blown away by the decor and atmosphere. Cool murals, wine bottle set up and reggaeton blasting. It probably wouldn't be my first option, but would be down to go again with friends to try some of the other items especially if I'm inside.

This place charges a 20% service fee for even part of two. The food was so so. They don't have shrimp ceviche, didn't have octopus ceviche and they ran out of grilled octopus. With very limited dishes they have on the menu, there were only a few appetizers left for me to pick. Never this place again.

First time I visited PURO was about 2 years ago, so when my friend and I were back in Boston, I was happy to see that they were still open. Quite a tiny basement space in Back Bay, PURO has now some outdoor seating and offers a latin-inspired menu. We were there on a Sunday evening and it was pretty busy. I would definitely recommend making a reservation. We were lucky enough to grab two seats at their bar inside, which I believe is first come first serve. The indoor space is very artsy with cool murals. They also play trendy Latin music, which is always a plus for me. I absolutely loved their Puro Passion cocktail. Not too much alcohol and not too sweet. The ceviche is good and I like they you actually see them preparing it when sitting at the bar. I must admit their avocado was disappointing as it wasn't freshly made. The shrimp tacos were good, but I didn't like the actual taco shell. The churros were nice and crispy on the outside, and chewy on the inside. Our bartender - unfortunately forgot his name (starts with a J) - was super friendly and attentive. Loved his demeanor! I would definitely go back!

Solid offering against the likes of Lolita and Latina heavy hitters on the Newbury Block Pisco Sours were consistent and bang on. I didn't get it this round but I would go Sea Bass Ceviche. Unfortunately Ceviche has been hit or miss for me here. SB ceviche, Tacos and $1 Oysters are my moves here. Pisco Sour 5 out of 5 Oct Cev - 3.5 out of 5 Shrimp Cev - 4 out of 5 Fish Tacos - 4 out of 5 Carnitas Tacos - 3.5 out of 5 Street Corn - 4 out of 5 Remember I only rate the food and booze not service, prestige, or atmosphere.

This place is pretty small on the inside, but they do also have outdoor seating. They play really loud music so it might not be the spot if you're trying to catch up/go on a date. The servers were super nice, but the service was kind of slow. We waited 20-25 minutes to order food after ordering our drinks. The waiter seemed super busy. The food was pretty good. They have taco Tuesdays ($3/taco). The corn was a little burnt and you can taste the char from the grill. The tuna ceviche was small for the price. The tacos were the best part. They were juicy and had a lot of flavor.

I first noticed this place when I walked by one day and someone sitting on the patio was about to bite into some scrumptious looking tacos. I had noticed Puro before but it's a bit tucked away and had no idea they even served tacos. I made a note, and a few days later I was back for dinner with a friend. PSA they only take day-of reservations - which I personally really like, so I don't have to stress months in advance to see if they'll ever have spots. After much indecision (everything on the menu looks delicious), we ordered the fish tacos and the sea bass ceviche. The ceviche was super fresh, and the passion fruit and the chili peppers perfectly balanced each other out. It came served with (very few) sweet potato chips, which seemed homemade. Since the ceviche is strong, we ordered a few more chips to help us eat it. It was phenomenal. The tacos were also outstanding. Very simple, with limited toppings but all worked very well together. The fresh tomato salsa cut the heaviness of the fried fish, and I liked the addition of a slice of avocado rather than guacamole. Everything was delicious and very filling, and considering the quality, I would say quite affordable. I will definitely be back for more.

My girlfriend and I were in Boston for my sisters graduation (I'm from Boston and she's from SoCal). We walked Newbury St and saw a Ceviche place. I've been lucky enough to visit Peru and have some pretty bomb Ceviche (imo) and this place was a completely disrespectful in that regard. We ordered the Octopus Ceviche and it was pitifully small. In truth it didn't taste HORRIBLE, but I really didn't think it was great. Considering that I could finish it in maybe 4 bites I was extremely disappointed. I genuinely think you could get more meat / veggies on a Del Taco taco at 2am then what I got. We also ordered a Pisco Sour. I guess it wasn't a "weak" drink? But all I know is that any cafe in Peru's Pisco Sour could put my on my ass after one sip. All in all I was several disappointed not to mention how pricey it all was. Oh, and it didn't help to see that all the water was filled at every table? For this I genuinely apologize if I'm missing something but it's just not something that I've seen before so I that really threw me off. Would not recommend.

Puro bar was a great experience. We split guac, which came with sweet potato chips. Fun change up from normal chips. Tuesday is $3 tacos so I got fish and chicken. They were both super good, although I liked fish better. I wanted shrimp, but that was the only taco excluded from the deal. They also didn't have tequila, which was surprising for a Mexican restaurant. Service was a bit slow but overall great experience and good atmosphere. Tables were super close together, but it allowed for conversation amongst tables.

DELICIOUS! Great customer service, the food is amazing, it is a lively place and very comfortable. Perfect to go out and have a nice drink or eat. The owner is so nice and will attend to anything. Went there with my girlfriend for our anniversary and then for her 21st, the owner made sure we had the best time, bet food, and memorable experience! 5/5 totally recommend!

I love that PURO has $1 oysters all night on Thursdays. The oysters did not disappoint. They were a good size and were pretty fresh. The shuckling could have been cleaner but I will not complain about $1 oysters. I also got 3 dishes to share with one other person and was pretty full at the end. I highly recommend the Pescado tacos and Aguachile Shrimp ceviche (not pictured). The shrimp ceviche had an amazing sauce that was light and fresh. I would come back here again for the oysters and other items on the menu.

Our server was kind and funny, but I think they were a bit overwhelmed and got part of my order wrong. They also kind of forgot about us. Taco Tuesday means $3 tacos - except beef, shrimp, and lobster - which basically wipes out half of their taco options. The carnitas tacos were delicious, the blackened chicken was dry, the fish tacos were just okay. The experience was decent, I would go back to try other items on the menu.

Great cerviche.. super fresh. Octopus and shrimp. Mussels with coconut milk - spicy and tangy. Cochettos so delicious.

I liked the vibe of this restaurant (service was good too), but the food we tried was only okay. The best thing we had were the fish tacos! The fried fish was crispy and flakey, and all the ingredients and flavors worked really well with each other. The Puro passion cocktail wasn't too bad, but I didn't taste much of a passion fruit flavor. The dollar oysters are available on Thursday's, which is a great deal; unfortunately, the oysters we got were super salty which made it a little harder to eat. The patatas bravas were also okay; the potatoes weren't crispy and some pieces felt rubbery when biting into them. The spicy aioli was really good with the potatoes. I think the chimichurri sauce was good and would be better on the side instead of underneath the potatoes to prevent sogginess.
