    Our waitress was amazing. She knew all about the best dishes in the menu and was really helpful with my very picky eater of a father. We all left full and happy (even my dad lol) The appetizer combination was great, we got to try all the different flavors I was craving. The paella was a steal! So much good quality food at a great price with great service. 10/10

    Padrino's was great! In town for work and relied on Google for a Cuban spot near the hotel. I was very pleased with the selection. Our server was so helpful with recommendations on appetizers and entrees for our group. The food portions were very generous (perhaps too much so because none of us had room for dessert).
