Food is very bland, the gauc tastes store bought and the presentation looks very low budget! My wife’s nachos didn’t even have cheese on them! Lastly the menus don’t have prices! I do not recommend!

No prices on their menu because they charge $18 for 2 tacos with the most bland filling I’ve ever had. I gave 2 stars because the service was good. Horrible tacos and burritos. Absolutely will never go back.

The food is just ok, kinda presents tired and lack freshness. The staff and the atmosphere is nice but it's always empty and feels awkward. The menu has no prices, which is just wierd.

The food is good. No prices on the menu!! I got the flatiron dish, which was tasty! I thought it was probably going to cost 20. It was 27. It wasn't THAT good!Go across the street to Vaqueros! The food, atmosphere, menu, and prices are all superior! The only think padrino does better is provide superior service!

We tried the chili con queso dip, which was decent. However, the flank steak we ordered cooked medium turned out to be overcooked and had an unpleasant texture, resembling liver. It was not enjoyable. On the bright side, the shrimp fajitas were tasty. Unfortunately, the drinks were a letdown, lacking sufficient tequila; the coin margarita tasted like flavored water. We also splurged on the Cadillac margarita with an extra shot, which, while not terrible, didn't justify its high price tag of almost $30. Overall, our dining experience was extremely disappointing and left us feeling underwhelmed, especially considering the hefty bill of $205 with tip. It's frustrating to have spent so much for such a lackluster meal.

It’s okay, nothing to write home about! Nothing was bad, but not somewhere I would visit again!

The food is alright, the chips were good and so was the salsa. The queso was gritty and it had good flavor but it is a yellow cheese sauce. The chimichanga was huge but lacked the queso sauce smothering it. The nachos were alright but there was almost no fresh veggies or anything topping them. Overall service was super nice and the restaurant is quaint but I doubt I’ll be back as this isn’t what I am looking for in a Mexican restaurant

I had the pork and avocado burrito. It was meh. I did not expect that it would be guacamole (?) and not sliced avocado. There was barely any green chili on the outside. The pork was drrrryyy. Burritos were a little bigger than a silver dollar. So, my opinion, not for me. Not for that price. They do have a nice happy hour.

VERY weak drinks, I could get more of a buzz from a single can of beer (coming from a lightweight). But that was the only downside, the food was fantastic (honestly the best in the springs). We were seated very fast and everything came out quick and fast. Very pretty and clean environment. Would highly recommend!

I found multiple pieces of hair on top of my food before I even started eating. What ever red head is working in the kitchen either needs to wear a hair net or not plate

This place is incredibly mediocre. I have been here about seven times for work events and I have never had a hot meal and the food is bland and lacks flavor. It has been about three years since I was last there and today we came in for a taco bar which consisted of ground beef, refried beans, rice, cheese, tomatoes and lettuce. There was no sour cream, there was no guacamole and only hard shell tacos. I have no idea how much they charge for this but it is way too much and I left being annoyed and swearing that I would never return.
