"On a recent visit to El Padrino we were pleased that they could accommodate us earlier than the usual evening dining period. The service was excellent and our meals were quite flavorful. I certainly recommend this fine establishment."
Gerry Peters
"The place looks awesome, very traditional. The only problem regarding the location is that is very easy to miss. Staff friendly and attentive. The rabbit that I had was a bit oily for me but good overall. Prices are a bit high but worths for such a treat. The desert is a must!"
Raul Gavris
"Phenomenal local food of the area. Welcoming staff. Beautiful views of the hillside. Highly recommended."
