    This review is for Padrino's Cuban Restaurant. We absolutely love the atmosphere and the Cuban food here. It’s authentic, flavorful, and something we just can’t get where we live. Anytime we’re in the Fort Lauderdale or Plantation area, we make it a point to come here. Consistently great food, great vibes, and a place we genuinely look forward to visiting every time. Highly recommended.

    It's good! Tastes like homemade food, really comfy. But not amazing. However, that's not a bad thing at all! People are super nice, there's music inside and outside, and its good if you want a Cuban-American taste. Loved the black beans sauce!

    just another restaraunt that does not respect its source culture. what kind of pollo asado has ZERO seasoning??? i also got the arroz con pollo and same situation. waste of money and fake “fancy” vibe that justifies making everything so expensive. these types of copy paste restaurants dont even try, then get replaced in 3 years.
