Made a reservation was seated promptly but at a table for two in the middle of the floor outside patio, every server and customer bumping into us and making us feel like we were on display..I'll never again accept a table feeling like we're on an island and being so on display.. food was very good, service was acceptable.. price reasonable..

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...

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!
