  The food depends on location. The one in Hallandale consistently has food so salty it may cause your vessels to burst. No exaggeration! Avoid Sunday nights if you want to have a good conversation over dinner. It will NOT happen with the "one man" live band. The one at Dania seems to be more consistent in terms of how the food comes out. I recommend the churrasco, the salmon, and picadillo...In no particular order. Stay away from the arroz con pollo. It tastes like anything but chicken. As an appetizer I recommend the tostones with chorizo.

  My favorite place in Hollywood! I eat there every year when we are there for my husband's business meetings! Masitas de Puerco! So freaking good!!! Our server was so sweet and so attentive - I feel terrible for not being able to remember her name. Thank you so much everyone!!

  The management is AWFUL! I made a reservation weeks ago for Easter Sunday for the family and they just called to cancel because they are NOT OPEN! They forgot to say they were CLOSED!! This is poor leadership not realizing you have families booked for Easter and by simply calling them to say, “oops I’m sorry we’re closed tomorrow!” Poor management and now families are left with minimal options on a holiday! Horrible!

  We ordered catering from Padrino’s Cuban Restaurant for the first time a few months ago, and ever since then, we’ve honestly been dreaming about the tres leches. It was so good that we talked about it for months and were really looking forward to ordering again. When we recently ordered catering again, the main thing we were excited about was the tres leches. Unfortunately, when we finally tried it, it was very disappointing. The cake was quite dry, and there was barely any milk — only at the very bottom. It was really sad because that dessert was honestly one of the main reasons we ordered again. We tried calling the restaurant to let someone know about the situation, but unfortunately, we weren’t able to get through. We hope this review helps bring attention to this matter, especially because this is such an incredible product based on our first experience. It honestly left such a strong impression on us that we didn’t hesitate to order again. However, after this experience, we’re not sure if we would feel confident ordering it again, as we’re concerned the quality may not be consistent.

  From start to finish, this experience was outstanding. The food was exceptional—rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Every dish tasted fresh, and knowing that everything is made in‑house truly shows in the quality.The mojitos went down dangerously smooth, perfectly balanced and refreshing. And the desserts? Absolutely phenomenal—the kind you think about long after you’ve left.What really elevated the night was the service. The bartender was fantastic, and the manager went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. You can feel the passion and pride from the entire team.Highly recommend—this place is doing everything right.
