Hello all, my experience with Padrino's was excellent. We went for a birthday celebration and Padrino's did not disappoint. My family is Cuban so our expectations were high. We were pleasantly surprised and happy with our delicious meals. Food felt authentic, and the chef knows the cuisine well. Service was also excellent, our server was very attentive, and wanted to make sure we were well taken care of. Much appreciated. Hope you enjoy as well this little piece of Cuba in South Florida.

Food and service were very good as usual. Inside was much noisier than I recall, making it difficult to converse. That’s the only ding otherwise.

It was a very pretty restaurant, food was decent but extremely loud music so hard to talk. Will try outside seating next time.

Always a pleasure eating at Padrino’s. Their food is delicious! Their black beans, flan, both beef and chicken dishes are the best! One “con”-their arroz con pollo and their fish soup are way too salty. Many customers have hypertension. If they would reduce the excessive salt, those two dishes would be perfect!

The food is amazing, always spot on. Authentic and delicious. The staff is attentive. We ate outside because the noise level inside was off the charts.
