    Another delicious meal at Padrino’s! This time I had the mahi blackened, it was so good! Service is excellent, and the food comes out very fast. Almost a little too fast on some occasions.

    Great food, friendly service. Popular with police. Service can bog down when the place is full, as it often gets for lunch. Many families, some with suitcases. Large portions of food.

    The food while wholesome lacked the fine cooking we have experienced in other Cuban restaurants. The maraquitas were not freshly made and were overdone. The combination plate was overpriced.

    Never disappoints. We go whenever we are in the area which is usually just once or twice a year. Very well made Cuban food at very reasonable prices. Other restaurants in the immediate area could learn a thing or two from Padrino’s about proper food service and hospitality delivery.

    Arrived 15 min late due to road construction but another table was soon ready for our party of 4. Delicious dinner and great waiter, though he was very busy! We were not rushed as we were old friends catching up. Looking forward to dining in this restaurant again!
