What it is

A Boca institution since 1972 that does Cuban comfort food the way it was done before anyone tried to make it cute. House-roasted pork, black beans that taste like someone's abuela made them, and a Cuban sandwich that justifies the drive from wherever you are.

What to order

  • Cuban sandwich — the gold standard here.
  • House-roasted pork plate with rice and beans.
  • Cafe cubano to finish.

Floyorker take

Fifty-plus years in one location is a statement. Padrino's earns the tenure.
