Food is spectacular!!! Craving Cuban food? Padrino’s is definitely IT. Only thing I wish they did was play classic Spanish music, but the atmosphere is trendy.

I usually do not write reviews. However, Betty our server was outstanding! If you ever come, request Betty as your server - her outstanding, charismatic, and kind personality really shined through today and made both of our days brighter. Both my girlfriend and I had a great time. The food was magnificent! The lamb was amazing and very juicy/tender.

Here’s the best way to describe it. It’s a brand-new, exciting place with absolutely delicious food. The service is impeccable. Everything is just wonderful and new, and the people are very friendly and welcoming. The food is fantastic! I can’t say enough about it, and there’s a great variety of choices.

Padrinos Cuban Restaurant is absolutely worth the visit. As someone born and raised in Miami, Cuban food isn’t just a meal—it’s part of my identity. So when I get the chance to enjoy authentic Cuban flavors, I follow my stomach without hesitation. From the moment I walked in, the aroma instantly took me back to my childhood kitchen—warm, familiar, and filled with love. I ordered the picadillo, and I’m happy to say it was just as I remembered it growing up: perfectly seasoned ground beef, simmered with olives and just the right hint of sweetness. Every bite brought back memories of family dinners and special occasions. To end the meal, I had a cortadito—strong, sweet, and smooth. It was like dessert and espresso all in one cup. The perfect final touch. What I really appreciated was that nothing felt overly commercialized or watered down. It’s clear that Padrinos takes pride in preserving the traditional flavors and hospitality that make Cuban food so special. I can’t wait to return and try something new. Whether you’re Cuban, grew up around the culture, or are simply a fan of rich, flavorful food—Padrinos is the real deal.

This is the nicest location I’ve been of Padrinos. Very nice setting, good service, great food, great drinks. Good Latin food at a reasonable price and in a trendy setting.

I am writing this review while I’m still in the parking lot so that I don’t forget to tell people about it ha! Everything was 10 out of 10 ... my food, my drink (tropical lemonade), staff, overall service and the chill vibe. It was Saturday afternoon and I got a parking space with no problem, there’s plenty of parking. There were couples as well as family’s with children and large groups celebrating. I think I’ll be returning before I head back to the cold up North.
