Padrino's Cuban Cuisine - Boca Raton

Great food, service and environment. My partner and I ordered the croquetas de jamon for an appetizer which was perfect crispy texture from the outside and soft and fresh from the inside. For our mains, we got the arroz con pollo and vaca frita. The arroz was seasoned perfectly with rich flavors and the chicken was juicy and not dry. The vaca frita was also excellent.

Has been one of my favorite restaurants for as long as I can remember. I honestly have so many amazing and first memories. And I have been so 3 or maybe 4 different locations, anytime I know I am near one it is a must to stop by. Not only do I love the food but so do my kids. We are pretty simple at this place as we love the chicken, rice, and beans. But they have so many other amazing options.

5 stars for a beautiful renovation and yummy Cuban cuisine that works in the restaurant and for the departure! (plus, the first padrino’s was opened in the 70s and although they don’t have several stands, the biz was still in the possession of the family that I was in the city and made a group pickup order. When we arrived to get the food, I was blown away from the decor! A gentleman I suspect is the manager when I grabbed a few photos, and told me that they had just recently refurbished the entire interieur. the bar looked great and it was super bright and welcoming. when it comes to eating, everyone was very satisfied! I would recommend the picadillo empanadas (pastry filled with spiced groundbeef. lined with our fresh Guayava-Chutney,) the mariquitas (herbal chips served with garlic sauce) and the grilled garnel salad (green with caramelized wobbles and red wine vinaigrette with grilled garnels.) I dreamt of the grilled garnels. they were sympathetic and worked so well with the caramelized wobble. I didn't even close the red wine vinaigrette because it was even tasteful enough. a great experience!
