Reviews for Padrino’s Cuban Restaurant in Hallandale Beach, FL

As a Cuban myself, I was taken away by the atmosphere as I walked in to the dining area. Seeing the old photos, black and white... of the founders made modern Cuban restaurant look interesting. The place is nice, good location and parking. The food was notgreat, the meet was not cooked properly, the moro just like sushi rice, sticky and the second time I went, I had shrimp a lajillo and it was terrible. Overall I will not eat in the restaurant. The staff were good but the food was poorly cooked. Notrecommended. Read more

Food was good but not great. The fish and the grilled chicken were cooked properly but just not that interesting. Sides were... generous. Meals come with three choices from two kinds of rice, beans, yucca, fries +. Tres leches for dessert was good. Placefilled up at late lunch @1:30 pm. Very friendly wait staff. Lunch prices and portions were very fair. Fish and chicken luncheswere only $10! Read more

Wonderful food and great service. The plantains were sooo good. The chicken was so tender, so flavorful, and smelled amazing.... The bread was crisp, the rice perfectly Al dente. Will definitely go back!! Read more

A great experience to enjoy authentic Cuban cuisine. My first time here and it was perfect. Service was on point and the entrees... do not disappoint. A symphony of flavor with good plate presentation. We started with Croquettes de Jamon. Entrees werePALOMILLA • A traditional Cuban marinated minute steak topped with sautéed onions. Served with white rice, black beans, andplantains. LPESCADO A LA PLANCHA • Flounder seasoned with our citrus marinade and grilled with onions. Served with yellowrice and steamed vegetables. Finished it off with cafe con leche and tres leches. How could you not! Enjoy! Read more

Lunch was good, the bread basket was delicious I think I ate 2 on my own. I had the fish plate with Cuban beans yellow rice and... plantains. The plate was good and filling to me the sides were better than the fish. The empanadas were really good if you likea nice crunch. The coffee was delicious and our server was great. We got sat down immediately and our wait time for food wasshort. This was a great spot for a quick bite on our way to the beach. Read more

Excellent food! Our server was very astute and never left us needing or wanting anything. It was a perfect dining experience.... The food was simple, but very well executed. I ordered a Cuban and empanadas to start. The atmosphere was great. It was a normallunch hour crowd, but wasn’t ever too loud to have a conversation. I’ll definitely return! Read more

Service was very nice. Food was brought out quickly. First time trying Cuban and I really enjoyed it. Usually not a fan of... sauteed onions, but they added a hint of sweetness to the pork chunks. The empanadas with the red pepper side was especiallytasty. Read more
