Great for creative cocktails

At Padrecito we pride ourselves on creating a community atmosphere while serving culinary creations and libations utilizing the freshest of ingredients. At the core of our offering is a homage to original Mexican dishes made from scratch each day. House-made tortillas and sauces create a foundation for our ever seasonal menu. While unique and carefully crafted enchiladas and tacos have become house staples. We also take our tequila and beverages very seriously as we search out hand crafted and boutique distilleries to round out our over 60 in house tequilas and mescals. We pride ourselves on providing you a great experience and love what we do everyday.

Great food and drinks! You wanna get a reservation like we did, but we noticed a lot of people waiting. I had the tomatoes soup with was amazing, it had great flavors and not just tomatoe, it had a slight spice to it, the avocado and cheese in it were great so add texture to the soup. Then I had the jimaca salad. Delicious! A little sweet and tangy with strawberries and blackberry yummm! I wasn't able to have any of their drinks but my boyfriend had the Padrecito which had just the right amount of mezcal where it wasn't too smokey. I would love to come back and try the drinks myself.

We went for Mother's Day brunch. Service was pretty slow, but maybe they were overwhelmed. It's a big brunch day after all. Staff all seemed to be hustling. Maybe we were just being ignored, lol. Churros - off-the-hook good Pancakes and Chilaquiles: really good. I'd go back for these. Duck Carnitas hash - sounds better than it really is. The eggs and potato bits were good. The greens soaked up all the salty sauce, really overpowering the entire dish.

Ear splitting noise level. First and last time here. Apps arrived a long time before drinks. A basic order and drop off joint for a lot of money. Food is tasty but not worth the price or the torture of the room. If your idea of a good meal is to scream at your date then this is the place for you.

Went here for a birthday dinner. Had several dishes which we shared, and all were good. The only issue was some crazy customer insisted that the staff keep the lighting turned up really bright. If I'm ever there again with the crazy woman I'll ask to be seated somewhere else. The staff was really nice and tried to make us as comfortable as possible.
