    I had family visiting from Jersey and they wanted to eat Cuban food. I did not want to travel to Miami. I took them to Padrinos in Fort Lauderdale and it exceeded all my expectations. Food, Service and Atmosphere was perfect 🤩. I highly recommend!! You won’t be disappointed. Delicious 😋 ❤️

    Its a cute cuban restaurant with ambient lighting and just a nice mellow vibe. The food was great, the Ceviche was some of the best I've ever had, while the rope vieja was great, nothing above average but quite flavorful. Really enjoy the experience.

    I usually go to the Plantation location which is superb but tried this location for a change. I always order the vaca frita so got it here as well. It came out super fast which was concerning. Sure enough, it had a bit of a dried taste like it was pre-cooked and just reheated. The moros were not as good as at the location - it was also dry. My dining companion had a chicken dish and said it was lukewarm and he didn't enjoy the taste. The complimentary bread was very good and tasted fresh though.
