Puya Urban Cantina

This place is the absolute best service. I didn’t feel nickel and dimed. They came around with a free shot and always made sure we enjoyed our food. Food was solid. I am FULL!! If you want a nice fun night with good food and amazing service this is your place.

Great food, great service. The music is a little loud for me and you have huge big tvs. But I looooved the food and cocktails. Definitely recommend

I have to say been here many times, this is one the best restaurants I ever been too. The is super fresh and tasty 😋 their really no Mexican restaurant replace this place. And the service is really best. Always do everything with smile 😃 😊. And bring FOOD SUPER FAST WOW!!!!! GOD BLESS 🙌 🙏🏻 not just saying it it's because I really mean it.

Omg, what a gem! This place has it all! I also highly recommend embarrassing your friends on their birthday here. They have a very fun birthday thing that they do (I won't spoil what it is). The staff were phenomenal, very attentive, engaging, and great for suggestions. The atmosphere is also amazing, a very fun place to eat. They have indoor and a small outdoor seating area. The food was great, it's a kosher restaurant and everything is dairy free. You can have just about every dietary restriction and be able to eat here. Highly recommend!

Lots of Fun and Kosher! My favorite is the flat iron steak. Drinks also an A+. All staff is very hospitable and very wam. Seems to be a great spot for birthdays!

Great vibe and excellent service. Professional staff. The food was just great and the drinks as well. Would like to return and try more dishes.

Amazing amazing kosher restaurant in Hollywood area, the food is absolutely 10/10 and the service was even better. The carne asado was cooked perfectly and all the sauces were delicious. Would highly recommend!

This restaurant is something special! If you’re looking for a hidden gem in the Hollywood area this is the place to be. Not only was the atmosphere amazing but they matched it with incredible service. Most importantly every food item we ordered was incredible. If you haven’t already come to check it out I would highly recommend.

Saw the advertisement on Facebook. This place is awesome. The food the service great. The drinks are a little small but I'm definitely going back with friends.

Wow I have nothing but good things to say about Puya! Food is phenomenal, the current host(Dassie) is so kind and patient, service is incredible! I highly recommend Puya if you’re looking for a fun vibe and fun food! The manager is also always around, checking in on the customers; so kind!

Beautiful fresh flavors, attentive service, fun atmosphere! You will be well taken care of. We loved it!!!

I love this place. I’m from New York City and this place is amazing. The food the vibe the drinks the atmosphere definitely recommend this place.

I had an amazing dinner tonight at Puya — everything from the food to the service to the overall vibe was incredible. The atmosphere had such great energy, warm and welcoming yet lively and fun. You can really feel the love they put into the place. The food was absolutely delicious — every dish we tried was bursting with flavor. And don’t even get me started on the drinks! The Spicy Sandy was hands-down one of the best cocktails I’ve had in a while — perfectly balanced, with just the right kick. Special shoutout to our server Daniel, who was outstanding. Friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better with his great recommendations and upbeat attitude. Can’t wait to go back — Puya is definitely a new favorite!

We highly recommend this amazing Mexican restaurant! It was festive and busy the evening we ate dinner there. The food was absolutely delicious and at a higher level of excellence with incredible flavor! We ordered fajitas. Service was attentive and a team effort. Ambiance was relaxing and comfortable. The caring manager Yuval checked on us and we assured him of our many returns. A must visit if you appreciate great food and an experience to rave about!❤️~Donna Flowers & Mike Stocker

We had a fabulous experienc at Puya. Was an amazing venue to meet our friends who were visiting Florida. Great service. Everyone was super friendly. The atmosphere was electirc with a live performance by a spanosh music group.. The food was very good as well. Special shout out to Benny, who took care of our table on a busy night and ensured all our guests were looked after to a high standard. He was very helpful and really cared to ensure we all had a great experience. With service like Benny's we wiill definitely be back. Highly recommend this restaurant.

"If you think you’ve tasted good Mexican food, think again—you need to pay a visit to Puya Cantina! The food is absolutely incredible, and the atmosphere and vibe are on point. It’s the perfect spot for a celebration. The service was impeccable; each and every staff member was hands-on and attentive throughout the night. A huge shoutout to Janice, (hope i got the spelling right) who served us with a massive smile and so much energy—she truly made the experience perfect, so be sure to ask for her! Also, a big thank you to the manager (sorry didn't get your name )for the birthday shots to celebrate my daughter’s 21st. If you want top-tier kosher dining, this is it! It was a fantastic night, and we will definitely be back!"

An exceptional dining experience from start to finish! The restaurant manager "Yuval" truly sets the tone with warmth, professionalism, and genuine care for every guest. Yuval was attentive without being intrusive, handled every detail seamlessly, and made us feel genuinely welcomed and valued. This level of service turned a great meal into an unforgettable experience. We can’t wait to return!

5 stars! My husband and I were very impressed with this new restaurant. We really enjoyed the tacos and the churros for dessert. I had my five month old baby with me and this was the perfect place to bring her, due to the slightly louder environment at this restaurant. I didn’t really have to worry about her bothering the table next to me so this was great! My husband and I cannot wait to come back during basketball season because there are many screens at this place to kick back, relax and watch the game. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to really everyone -a couple, a family, or a night out with friends. It’s the perfect vibe for all. They have a large menu with many different drinks and food options. I would definitely come back again

The food was great and so was the vibe! I would definitely recommend this restaurant!!! The staff was very caring and attentive as well! No complaints!

This place was so good we ate here twice. You must get the steak fajitas, they are worth it. Vibes were incredible.

We hosted a private event here, and it turned out to be an outstanding and truly enjoyable experience.

I made my wife a surprise bday party for close to 30 people. Everyone loved the vibe, the food was amazing, the drinks were great!, the staff was attentive and the experience was phenomenal! I highly recommend this place for any occassion. Date night, friends, bday or any sort of large group parties!

From the moment that you walk in the door from the lushly landscaped back parking area, you are greeted by a smiling hostess , and inside everyone else just follows suit ! The wait service is great! Upbeat and energetic staff - this restaurant group really knows how to recruit for their biz- and the food options are fantastic! GF options, incredibly clever drink menu and whimsical on the mark funky Mexican decor. We had the fish tacos, carne asada quesadilla, a starter with quac and another yummy huge appetizer with well spiced meat. Hubby had a drink called The Convict. He was a repeat offender. I had a non alcoholic frozen mango delight. The whole night was a delight. Music not too loud and large screen tvs for NBA playoffs were great to sit and chill with. The bar looks fun too . It’s just an easy going vibe but also energized. Dunno how they pulled it all off in this first month ? Would love to go back on a Saturday night to see how it goes. Thrilled to report we have yet another kosher winner in Hollywood / Dania / Ft. Lauderdale. Find the manager Yuval and tell him to recommend a great drink !

We came on the soft opening night and right away were impressed with the atmosphere. Knew it would certainly be an experience. Chose to sit at the bar where the environment was just right for two people. Colorful menu with a variety of Mexican selections and some which we had never seen before. Ordered the charred Elote dip which was hot, crunchy and tasty. Also had the chile con carne which was tasty and filling. Added some hot sauce which even made it better. My wife I had the carne asada fajitas which were served in a sizzling platter. Very tasty and good value for the steak. Service at the bar by Gabriel, Efrain, Joshua, and Michi added to the experience, keeping the meal personalised and welcoming. Added must to go to for kosher as there is nothing close to this in the Miami area. Great for couples, families, small and large groups.

Corinne Morlevi

DELICIOUS food and BEAUTIFUL atmosphere!!!!! The service was also amazing. You can tell this place is very professionally ran. As a local, I will be returning often!

Puya brings the exuberance of Mexico to Hollywood, Florida. We had the honor of sitting at the bar with Michi and Josh, the best bartenders out there. We were extremely well taken care of. All our questions were answered and they looked out for us in every way! The food was extremely authentic: from the sweetness of the Birria to the zingy Carne Asada, the many varieties of tacos absolutely blew us away. If you’re looking for a fun atmosphere, delicious food and incredible hospitality, look no further than Puya. You will not regret it!

We had an early dinner here a few days ago and honestly loved it. The vibe was great, the place was clean and lively, and the waiter was excellent — super friendly and gave us cocktail recommendations that were spot on. The food came out fast, even during a busy time, and everything we ordered was really, really good. Everyone at the table was happy. I definitely recommend this place. The only issue was the seating. The chairs we sat on were very uncomfortable, especially for an elderly person who was with us. Some seats have back cushions, some don’t, and the bottoms were hard enough that after about 30 minutes you start feeling sore. The sofas on the side look much better, but not everyone gets those. If the owner ever sees this: upgrading the chairs would make a huge difference. Right now, they kind of make you want to leave sooner than you should. That said — great service, great food, great experience overall. We’ll be back.

1st time at a kosher Mexican restaurant, our party of 4 was clueless as to what to order. Yanis our waitress was pleasant, patient, helpfull and knowledgeable. She guided us to choose exactly what we all enjoyed. And when my daughter wanted more to eat but "traditional American" food, she brought her poppers and fries. My daughter was delighted with it. A n all around delighful dining experience.

Six of us walked here from our hotel for dinner. The food and service were excellent!!! The atmosphere and music was also fantastic! Our server was very attentive. The owner? or maybe manager? came over at one point to say hello. All the staff was very nice. The food was outstanding! I think most of us had birria tacos and two had quesadillas. The only downside is the portions are not very big for the cost and the men I was with were underwhelmed with their portion sizes. I think chips and salsa at the table might have helped alleviate that but we didn't want to spend more money for that. Overall a very tasty dining experience. Please consider complimentary chips and salsa at the table :) Thank you again!!

We LOVED this place! Food was absolutely delicious - we tried many things: drinks, chips and guac, steak fajitas, salad, multiple types of tacos, sides, and of course the churros which are not to be missed (I never love pareve dessert but these were fabulous). Service was terrific, even accommodating the specific plain steak needs of our 10 year old 😆 Cannot wait to come back!

Kosher Mexican Restaurant. Food was just ok, but the atmosphere is great. Solid place for a date. Reasonable prices for Kosher dining. The tacos were delish!

Fun place to dine ,you feel welcome, and put at ease by the staff. The food is very good and tasty,made fresh, I enjoyed the corn riblets, chicken wings, and chipotle chicken fajita. You come out feeling entertained,and satisfied

The great: Everything was delicious and authentic. The ambiance is amazing. The decor is fire. The good: Plenty of seating and good variety of dishes, cocktails and non-alcoholic frozen drinks. The so-so: Service is slow and they forgot 2 of our dishes and we had all finished eating already when they came. The kinda bad: While it’s a meat restaurant it could have another more substantial plant-based option other than salad, chips and salsa and a few sides. There are tons of options out there if they wanted to accommodate the vegetarian crowd. The bad: Portions are small. Overall 4 stars because it’s a really nice restaurant, with great food just don’t go too, too hungry 😉 Much needed fancy sit-down Mexican restaurant in Hollywood! I recommend it.

Overall great place for family and friends. Great prices (for now). Open atmosphere and great music. The meat platter ($89) was decent, felt that the sausages were kinda dry and was hoping a larger portion. Overall excellent food, taste and quality

UPdate Dec 2- finally received response by email.....Thank you Didn't want to be disappointed in the customer service We had a celebration dinner, ordered lots of food and had a nice time. The atmosphere is a loud "chaotic" vibe and I was rushed to paying my (hefty) bill at the end. Just wanted a copy of my paid bill. Called and emailed multiple times for this simple request and am being completely ignored. Literally don't understand why the courtesy of a response is not worth it to them............ I'd love to update this review after a response from management

The food was mediocre. Some of their stuff was not fresh. The limes were hard. The service was subpar. We waited a while for water, for the waiter to come around, and some of the orders were wrong. They have rice and beans that come with each taco, but we went as a group and they gave a communal rice and beans bowl, which was underwhelming and disappointing.

The portions were disappointingly small for the price, and the food arrived lukewarm rather than hot. There are some decent flavors here, but until the basics are sorted, I wouldn’t rush back.

The food was good but very pricey for Mexican Food. I have never been to a Mexican Restaurant where you did not get Chips and Salsa at the table. We ordered some and it was $20.00. The service was terrible we had to keep asking for our waiter, and we had 3 different ones. Also gratuity was included, I would not have given 18% for the service we received. Normally I would give 20% for good service.

Our Honest Review👎 My husband and I are foodies, so we were excited to try this place but unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. The food quality was very poor: • The steak came out literally raw and had to be remade. • The burger patty tasted like a cheap frozen one, with no flavor. • French fries were plain and nothing special. • Tacos were extremely basic and lacked authenticity. • Even the salad was bland and unappetizing. The atmosphere, however, was nice. The decor was great, and the restaurant does music and dancing, which creates a lively environment. That said, good vibes can’t make up for bad food. Overall, it felt like a waste of money. Very disappointed - we definitely won’t be coming back.

Amazing vibe, beautiful place, slow service, very small dishes, expensive for whatever you get, and most of all food is just OK, nothing more nothing less. Don't go if you are hungry, with kids or a large party. I really wish this place will have at least good food. The creators of this place know food, and good food, it's just too bad. As my kids put it, just another scam of a restaurant.

I’m sorry but all the great reviews here really don’t make sense to me. As someone whose favorite food is Mexican, this place really missed the mark for me and my family. Extremely overpriced at $20 for TWO tacos. I got the carne asada and my fiance got the lamb barbacoa, both came out extremely quick and barely warm, lacking flavor, and just overall “eh”. The rice and beans were super soggy like mush. And my carne asada tacos weren’t even halfway filled. We also got the elote and did not taste authentic either. They drown them in a sauce that tasted liked bland ketchup & mayo, no other flavors, and wasn’t even topped with cheese. Not to mention, $16 for kids chicken nuggets with french fries…. We walked out of there still hungry, dissatisfied, and underwhelmed. $90+ later for barely any food & only ordering waters. Also, bathrooms only allow one person at a time, in a huge restaurant - this makes no sense. There were long waits and lines right at the hostess stand just to use the restroom & no changing table inside for babies.

I had a really disappointing experience at this restaurant. We received food that was not prepared as we ordered, The tacos are promised 4 ounces of meat and when they arrived, they only had barely an ounce of meat and all onionsand when we raised the concern to the manager, we were brushed off like it was no big deal. He said it must be that the kitchen is tired because we had a big party before you guys and it’s because it’s late mind you it was only like 9PM . What probably happen is that they ran out of food in the back and they were trying to stretch out a little bit that was left as much as possible instead of addressing the issue professionally, the manager argued back and forth with my wife, which was extremely disrespectful and unacceptable. We came here expecting good service and respect, but unfortunately we received neither. I do not recommend this place if you value being treated well as a customer. The manager is extremely rude and disrespectful and does not know how to run a business. He is a danger to this establishment. Change management or you will see the restaurant slowly have less than less customers.
