Padrino's Cuban, Fort Lauderdale

Completely underrated restaurant and exceeds expectations. The food slaps, it's much better than your mom's that's for sure. The portions are huge so it's quality AND quantity and totally worth the money. And let me tell you about the coffee.... sheeeeesh, so good, SO GOOD. Friendly place with the background music to go along with the Cuban vibe. Definitely a must try.

My father is a frequent eater here and I was here in Florida for a few weeks and the hostess Cami was kind enough to remember my whole order every time I came in! My father informed her I was moving states in two days and she wrote a very sweet note on my bag and got me my favorite dessert that she so happened to hear by chance! That’s how you get customers for life!! I’ll always come back to padrinos when I’m in town!

We enjoyed our first experience at Padrino's Cuban of Ft. Lauderdale! After a confirmed reservation for 6, we were seated immediately and were served delicious authentic Cuban appetizers and entrées. Definitely a recommend 😁

I loved it so much, I am a South African woman with a passion for flavorful healthy, good for the soul food, rich culture and friendly people. I got all of that at Padrino's last night. The music was at the perfect volume to create a STUNNING atmosphere and all round good vibe. The food is to die for. WELL DONE!

The service was excellent, and the food was amazing! I ordered the paella-it did not disappoint! Every bite was packed full of flavor, it was as authentic as it could be. This is one of my favorite dishes, so I can say honestly that it was perfection. The atmosphere was pleasant and there was no wait on Sunday evening.
