First time I came all the way from Texas. I have to admit, overall, the food was good, the rice was not cooked from scratch, but I got the carribean twist. That's the only reason I did not give a 5 stars. Now, the Khan Khan pork chop, OH MY!!! I was not expecting that kind of pork chop SUPER BIG and delicious. My wife and my daughter had a mofongo con churrasco, and they loved it. The chef came to me and explained about the rice and gave me a mofongo instead. I really can't complain about the service. They really take care of you. I will definitely come back but no rice.

El Buren is our favorite sit down restaurant in Highwood! The food is reasonably priced, always delicious, the servers are friendly, and the cocktails are so fun! Our one year old couldn't get enough of the mango salsa! In the summer their patio is super cute and a fun place to enjoy a nice dinner!

Nice place for drinking for those who drink. The food however, was pretty bland. There is no sazón! The plantain "soup" was a green hot water with no meat or plantain. Pricey.

Great food and atmosphere, especially if you're looking for something you can't find everywhere. My wife and I have loved everything we've ordered here. Price is very good value, especially when you consider the quality of the meal.
