Padrino's Cuban Restaurant

Rooted in three generations of Cuban family recipes dating back to 1976, Padrino's Cuban Restaurant in Hallandale Beach serves classic island comfort food in a warm, contemporary setting. The menu highlights slow-simmered ropa vieja, crispy garlic-lime vaca frita, tender lechon asado, handmade picadillo empanadas, sweet maduros, pressed Cuban sandwiches, and decadent tres leches cake, complemented by fresh-mint mojitos, fruit-filled sangria carafes, and bold Cuban espresso.

Leashed dogs are warmly welcomed at the shaded outdoor patio tables, allowing pet parents to savor authentic Cuban cuisine and weekly specials like Mojito Tuesdays, Sangria Thursdays, and weekday lunch specials without leaving their pups at home. With gracious family hospitality, live music on Saturday evenings, and fresh water bowls brought out for visiting dogs, Padrino's is a standout Hallandale Beach dining destination.

Guests can also start their meal with crispy yuca frita with cilantro-garlic mojo, plantain chips with ropa vieja dip, or soothing Cuban chicken soup while relaxing outdoors in the shade with their leashed dogs.
