Puro Ceviche Bar

WOW!!! An absolute culinary gem! From the moment we walked in, the warm ambiance and attentive staff (Rodi was AMAZING!!!) made us feel right at home. The menu is a delightful fusion of flavors that tantalized our taste buds. Each dish was meticulously presented and bursting with freshness. A must-visit for anyone seeking an unforgettable dining experience.

I’ve had every single ceviche option on PURO’s menu and I’m completely obsessed with all of them! I’ve been having many ceviche cravings since coming to Boston and the price point at PURO is completely worth it for the quantity/flavor that is given. The plantain appetizer here is also to die for along with the skirt steak! If you want to order a drink as well the mojitos both alcohol and non alcoholic are great too. You can ask to add guava syrup as well for additional flavor to the drink!

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...
