Cuya Bar

Cuya is a bar and kitchen on Glenwood Avenue, part of the Glenwood South strip in Raleigh. Cocktails are a big part of it, and Club Cuya sits upstairs above the cafe and dining room.

The kitchen cooks pan-Latin food that borrows from Mexico, the Caribbean, Peru and South America. Bold flavor is the whole idea. Handmade empanadas, fresh ceviches and street tacos are all made daily, and there is a patio on the cafe side for anyone who would rather sit outside with a drink.

What to know

• Chef Kevin comes out to check on tables and suggest dishes.
• Vegan and gluten-free guests are accommodated with ease.
