“ Found parking on the street around the corner. Luckily, there was not wait. They had a large, nice outdoor seating area. They also have an upstairs rooftop area but they only sell drinks there. My friends and I ordered drinks, all different kinds of tacos, street corn and desserts! The drinks and food were both delicious! Our waiter was fun and attentive. All around good energy and I will definitely be back! ”
“ FIRE happy hour FIRE service FIRE brunch you gotta hit this place up. The service is quick and I got a table relatively quickly on a weekend but maybe I just got lucky. Not a single thing I got disappointed. ”
“ Great spot - from the interior aesthetic to the spacious patio and rooftop dining areas, with the best happy hour deals to boot! The cocktails are well-made and an absolute steal at 7 (from 4pm-7pm). The food is also delicious and I wish I had photos of all the ones we tried. The staff are also very welcoming and very attentive. All in all an awesome spot that I will be returning to many times. ”
“ We didn't have their food but I had a couple cocktails and they were really good. The bartenders were knowledgeable, skilled, and consistent. Nice rooftop area too. Beautiful interior. ”
“ This is a great spot for night life in the area. Two floors of fun! The patio is really nice. They offer a great variety of cocktails and the staff are super friendly. ”
“ Absolutely delicious and great outdoor seating. I've frequented Padre several times both for happy hours, taco Tuesdays, and even a date. I recently had the Baja Fish Bowl (being a Catholic on a Friday during lent made seafood choices easier!) Despite a relatively chilly evening, there were heaters abound to keep us warm. Service was quick, it would be nice to have free chips and salsa, but as an appetizer it was great. Tasty margaritas too! I'll definitely be back! ”
“ So good! Got there right when the opened for midday lunch. Everything was amazing. Guac and chips were out of this world good, margaritas were great, and the tacos so good!! The grilled fish were our favorite. Would definitely go again, if you are looking for good tacos then come here! ”
“ I ordered the Aguachile, which was so good, had a strong flavor of mint which I’m not use to but I just avoided big bites if the mint. The Guacamole was good but the salsa was soooo good! I ordered birria tacos and chicken a pastor and my son ordered chicken a pastor and didn’t really like the pineapple on top but I didn’t mind. Meat was soft and marinated delicious. I did have to add salt and lime to my meat but that’s just me. The tortillas weren’t too Special. By the looks I was expecting more fresh home made taste. Overall the vibe and decor was a vibe! ”
