    We had a wonderful meal at Padrino's. The combination appetizer platter was excellent. Our server was very efficient. All entrees were tasty, but we especially enjoyed the churrasco steak!

    Amazing Cuban food and great value for quality and portions. Two of us had the paella and easily three people could have enjoyed. Recommend to everyone looking for this type of food.

    We had resv. I have a small service dog (9#) in a stroller that was with me, as always. When my family arrived I was told that the service dog must come out of the stroller and be on the floor at all Times while dining. I put the dog in a stroller when I go out to eat because she can see me in the stroller and if on the floor she would not just lay at my feet. She is 9# and small and wouldn’t be seen so easily from waiters/people dining etc. that is and has been our routine since I have had her. In the stroller she is quiet and can easily see me. I was told it was not possible to keep her in the stroller. The gentlemen was kind, however, said the owner wanted it that way. I explained it was not a good rule to have for service pets. I was very disappointed in Padrinos for this reason. We did order food to go but it was cold and not great when we got home because of the 25 minute drive. Definately will not be back because of the service dog rule.
