This was a gourmet place. Loved the sushi, noodle dishes and hummus! I highly recommend it . Service was great and English was spoken here. The prices were similar to other restaurants in the area.

With an extensive menu suitable for vegetarians and carnivores, the food here is extraordinarily fresh, tasty, and well-priced. Servings are very generous. And it is a great place to hang out with a hard lemonade to watch the local scene.

We were blown away at the quality of the food here. Two of us had hummus and falafel and we had salads that were HUGE! We watched the Sushi guy at work and were very impressed.

We enjoyed an asian noodle bowel. All the other food on the menu looked great. Nice selection of sushi. Doesn't sell beer, only wine or one kind of smoothie

Several travelers recommended Puggos as we strolled through Montezuma. I'm guessing it would depend on what was ordered whether or not you would like the food but our service was so bad it was difficult to be very impressed by the food.

The food is unbelievable. Yummy, tasty, perfect. The bread is to die for, the lamb is so great, the kabobs...the meat cigars! And their vodka w lemonade (or viceversa) was so refreshing! The food was so slow though and the waiter was sort of rude.

Puggo's is excellent and by far our favorite restaurant that we tried in Montezuma. We went there a couple times during our stay and it was always fabulous. The staff is friendly, attentive and hard working. The atmosphere is laid back and inviting for all. There were a mixture of families, singles and couples there. The food was amazing and... More
