El Padrino is a small, unassuming Mexican restaurant that serves up delicious dishes. Known for its homemade style and quality flavors, it has been a favorite spot in Oak Cliff for many years. Their standout dish is the breakfast burrito with chorizo and egg, refried beans, and potato, which can be customized with lettuce, tomato, and avocado. The tortas, especially the Bistec a la Mexicana, are also amazing. Aguas frescas and Mexican sodas are highlights that enhance the dining experience. Despite its tiny size, which can make it easy to overlook, El Padrino offers quick service and great food, making it a perfect choice for a quick meal without long waits. The staff is attentive and welcoming, adding to the overall enjoyable atmosphere. However, some diners have noted that the food can be too Tex-Mex for their taste. Even with mixed opinions, many continue to support this nostalgic eatery, especially when in the neighborhood.
