Cuya Cocina Latina

We had an absolutely great first time here tonight. Drinks were refreshing (and I am so grateful for the mojito mocktail). Food was delicious, all of it. Great meat and vegetarian options. The Caribbean bread pudding dessert was fabulous. But. But. Best part of the night? Maria and Coral. Genuinely perfect service. Kind, fun, and great recs. We can’t wait to come back and try brunch.

COME HERE!! Right as you enter, the atmosphere is elegant, colorful, and lightly. The music perfectly matches the theme and the seating was detailed and comfortable. The food was spectacular and authentic, there is something for everyone with how varied it is. Whether that is Puerto Rican, Peruvian, or Mexican food. There are multiple small plates similar to tapas and individual entree options as well. Not to mention, the service was above and beyond, the waitress Coral was super friendly, funny, and sincere. The chef, Kevin, came multiple times to check on our food and even gave amazing recommendations. Definitely a must visit and frequent, they are full of delicious ideas.

To say that Chef Ruiz is a talented chef is an understatement. I couldn’t even get pictures of the pulpo or the prawns because we ate them without a thought of a picture. Every single thing we ate from the Mexican tamal to the elite corn ribs had clearly been obsessed over and refined. I have had the pleasure of eating Chef Ruiz’s food at multiple private events before coming to his restaurant and I’m thrilled to report that this man can make anything and I would eat it. Cuya is not to be missed.

My family and I have long considered ourselves devoted fans of Chef Kevin Ruiz, so when the week finally exhaled, my husband had only one request: dinner at Cuya Cocina. We arrived a bit ahead of schedule and were seated right away a gesture that set the tone for what would become an effortlessly warm evening. The host greeted us with genuine graciousness, and our server, Coral, navigated the room with admirable poise. Even while balancing duties as both bartender and server, she remained attentive, thoughtful, and deeply committed to making sure we had everything we needed. We sampled generously from the menu, from vibrant starters to beautifully executed entrées, paired with a few standout cocktails. Every dish arrived bursting with flavor, showcasing the unmistakable touch of Chef Rui

Amazing culinary experience! Kevin does a great job combining traditional tropical dishes with unique flavor twists. The new 'papas ahogadas' are exquisite. Maria provides outstanding customer service. The only drawback is the loud music that opaque any conversation. Parking can be challenging. Highly recommended
