My wife and I had an excellent experience, thanks first to our server, Elizabeth Nicole, who was very cordial, knowledgeable and attentive. The food was amazing, perfectly cooked pork chop, rice was well cooked and the beans, oh the beans, very tasty. We also had a rack of ribs in Guava BBQ sauce, juicy and very tender, sooo tasty. Oh, before I forget, those mojitos, man...sooo good, we will definitely come back, and not alone next time ?

Delicious eats. Best lamb in south Florida is a seasonal favorite, not to miss! Pairs great with the white sangria.

I ordered Vaca Frita with extra well-done onions. The meal came with sparse, barely cooked onions. I was asked at least four times if I wanted appetizers, which, if I wanted to order an appetizer I would have. When it was time to get the check, the server asked if I wanted dessert, when I told her no, she looked at me very strangely and said not even any Cuban coffee? Again, if I wanted it, I would have ordered it. I should not have to explain myself, especially numerous times. I had to ask for a water refill and was given warm water and no ice. The service was so subpar I cannot say I will return. I used to go frequently to the old location, which was not nearly as nice, but the service was so much better.

The place was very nice, the food was quite good but the service was pitiful, the manager was quite rude, bringing the bill every 10' and saying that we had to leave, she moved us to another table then to the bar and when we showed our discomfort to the hostess They treated us with hostility and told us to leave. They definitely treated us very badly. They should hire people with more education! We will not return!

Fantastic Cuban food. Have a taste of old Havana... Before Castro of course. This exquisite place has several locations, I've been to the one out west off University drive in Plantation Florida and the one closer to the beach in Dania Pointe here in Broward County. The food is always consistently good. They offer both indoor and outdoor dining.They also have a full bar. Oh yes. You will love it.Wheelchair accessibility: It's how they roll.

Claritza at this location provides 5 star service. This location is the best Padrino’s I’ve been to and we frequent it often. The atmosphere is very chill and the location is beautiful. I can’t say enough about how great the service is! I bring all of my friends here because the food is great and Claritza does such an amazing job with providing excellent service and recommendations. We will continue to come back and recommend!

As on previous visits the whole staff is very attentive and making sure that their guests have a pleasant dining experience. I ordered the Ropa Vieja and it was excellent, my wife loves the Caldo Gallego and the Mariquitas with the Black Bean Salsa.

What a shame that such a cozy place serves you a palomilla steak that looks like an onion cloth, less than a quarter and $19.00. The price, the thickness and the size are abusive. For me, I ruled out that place. I prefer a place without so much luxury but with a good food go to Latin America and look at the size of the steaks at $14.00, stinginess leads to nothing.

We love Padrino's and try to visit when we are in town. The paella for two is amazing and definitely will feed more than two. Also had the white sangria and it was delicious. Fantastic service!
