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.

Had an amazing dinner at Padrinos with the help of outstanding service from ChiChi. The whole staff is so attentive and helpful and the managers are also super friendly and care that you have a good experience. Food and drinks were on point as well.

Great ambience, excellent food, wonderful music and very courteous staff. I have dined with them since their old location and really love the new location and what they have evolved into. I have introduced my friends and family to this restaurant and everyone agrees with me. This is one of the best places in Plantation!

We came for Mother's Day and it was amazing. We also brought a cake to celebrate a birthday. Once we arrived we were promptly seated. Our server came over and did an fantastic job at attending to our needs. The food and drinks were stellar and the wait wasn't long at all, even for a busy day. I'll definitely be back!!
