Padrino’s Cuban Restaurant

Alejandro provided an absolutely exceptional dining experience from start to finish. His professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail truly stood out. He greeted us with a genuine smile, explained the menu with confidence and clarity, and offered thoughtful recommendations that turned out to be perfect choices. Throughout the evening, Alejandro was attentive without ever being intrusive. He anticipated our needs before we even had to ask — refilling drinks promptly, checking in at just the right moments, and ensuring everything arrived exactly as ordered. His positive energy and friendly demeanor made the entire experience feel welcoming and special. It’s rare to encounter service that feels both polished and personal, but Alejandro struck that balance effortlessly. He clearly takes pr

We came down from St Louis for the weekend to warm up and this was our first time trying a cuban restaurant. We were not disappointed. The waitress was very good and quickly helped us figure out what to order. We really enjoyed the bread and then very quickly our food came out. I had the Lechon Asado (roast pork with moros and yucca), my wife had the Palomilla (minute steak with beans/rice and plantains) and my son had the Pollo Asada (chicken with beans/rice and plantains). Most everything was excellent in every way, our only slight issue was the minute steak was a bit tough, but still had great flavor. We definitely plan to come back next time we are in South Florida!

This is my first time at this location. The place is really beautiful inside nicely decorated. The service was great and the food consistent with all the other locations that I've been. I had the lunch churrasco medium rare, super soft and flavorful, the black beans so flavorful! The desserts were delicious too. Highly recommended!

Food was delicious, staff Friendly, and drinks tasty. All our orders were so good. We didn't leave anything on the plate. We had the truffle pig sandwich, vaca frita, kids pollo asada, empanadas, a side of extra black beans and flan cheesecake. We all shared the food and even my picky eater ( who we got the black beans for) loved everything. The kids menu was $10 to $11 that included same size beans and rice as our entree plus a little smaller version of the dish. They do have chicken tenders but we didn't try (I know it's a must for some families). The beef was juicy and crispy , the pork sandwich was the right combo of salty and sweet with just enough truffle, and the chicken was flavored well. If you never had sweet plantains you should try. The flan was good if you love flan . I might

Honestly, I’m pretty disappointed given the hype. The food here feels like a step above a vending machine Cuban sandwich, and the sides have that unmistakable "McDonald’s fries" quality rather than anything authentic or homemade. For a place that looks this nice on the outside, the flavors are surprisingly processed and corporate. It’s fine if you’re just looking for a quick, uninspired calorie fix, but if you’re actually craving real, soulful Cuban cuisine, you’re better off looking elsewhere.
