    We were visiting from out of town for my wife’s graduation. Let me say that I am a server at a top steakhouse in Ohio and I have worked in restaurants my entire life so I know a thing or two about this. Everything about this place is wonderful. The decor is classy but not overbearing. The booth seating was very comfortable. Everything was clean and beautiful. No detail is missed from the lighting to the music volume. I am picky about choosing the right place to take my family and in a city full of tourist traps I decided to try this place. We came on a Friday night because of the live music. Btw the musician was terrific. Everything was so good we couldn’t stop talking about it. Even my mother in law, who is notoriously hard to please, loved it. On Saturday after her graduation ceremony I got us a reservation at a more expensive supposedly five star restaurant on the water, but when we got there we got all the red flags of being in a tourist trap. I looked at my wife after we sat down and I said “what do you want to do. Anything” she says, “I know what I want but I don’t want you to be mad.” So I say again, “anything”. She says, “I want to go back to Padrino’s!” So we did, and man, it was even better the second time. Both nights our servers were just excellent. They each had a different personality that was allowed to shine through and they were both excellent. I wish I remembered their names so I could mention here, I am sorry! My wife has a severe gluten allergy and my mother in law is difficult in general and their patience with us did not go unappreciated by me I can assure you. On the second night she even brought out a little dessert with a candle and congratulated my wife who has worked so hard for her degree it is a really big deal to her. She almost cried it made her so happy. I didn’t even have time to talk about the food and drinks which were all terrific. I loved the variety of mojitos. I loved that you could get a simple salad to start. The Yuca was the best I’ve ever had.. just go. It’s amazing. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!

    I have been a loyal customer of Padrinos for many years and have visited several of its locations, including Dania, Plantation, and Fort Lauderdale. I have always enjoyed great food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere, which is why I was genuinely surprised and disappointed by an experience I had at the Fort Lauderdale location on June 9th. On that day, I was meeting a coworker for lunch. Due to a special diet that I follow, I must adhere to specific meal schedules and nutritional requirements throughout the day, so I was carrying a small portion of additional protein to complement my meal. I would like to clarify that I was not planning to consume only the food I brought from outside. I fully intended to order and enjoy food from the restaurant, as I have done for many years whenever I visit Padrinos. Before I was even seated or had the opportunity to place an order, the hostess approached me in a manner that I found unwelcoming and unprofessional, questioning me about bringing outside food into the restaurant. I completely understand and respect restaurant policies, and had the matter been addressed politely and discreetly, there would have been no issue. Unfortunately, the way the situation was handled left me feeling singled out and uncomfortable. What made the experience particularly disappointing is that it stands in stark contrast to the outstanding service I have consistently received from the rest of the staff. I do not know the bartender’s name, but she has always been exceptionally kind, friendly, and professional. I would also like to recognize Christian, as well as another Nicaraguan server whose name I unfortunately do not remember, both of whom have provided excellent service on multiple occasions. In general, my experiences at Padrinos have always been positive, which is why I have remained a loyal customer for so many years. Because I genuinely enjoy this restaurant and have supported it for a long time, this experience was especially disappointing. I hope management takes this feedback into consideration, as interactions like this can significantly impact the experience of long-time customers. Unfortunately, this incident has left me questioning whether I will return to this location in the future.

    Great latin restaurant. Came here to celebrate a friend's birthday. They live in Georgia and we're visiting for a few days. The service was attentive, the food was top to bottom good, especially vaca frita with the the arroz blanco con frijoles negros. The drinks were also great. They have a mamajuana old fashioned!!! And my wife's guava-rita was tasty. They even had live music which elevated the atmosphere. Certainly a recommended spot in Broward.

    I've been to this place several times. I really do enjoy Padrinos. The staff members are very friendly. And food is provided quickly. I will say that their Picadillo is not my favorite. I find the meat to taste a little dry and stringy. However, their palomilla is very good. I also tried their Bistec de pollo, not bad at all. I'm not much of a chicken fan. But it had a lot of flavor. They also have daily specials, and a lunch menu. In addition to a decent happy hour.
