Padres Cantina & Grill

We have been there several times and most of the time, we have nice service and wonderful food. The manager seems to be on top of everything and I have seen him, on more than one occasion, pitch in and help when things get busy. Sometimes it does get crowded and noisy but that is to be expected in a restaurant.

I went with a group of 7, one person didn't get their food until everyone else was done eating. I ordered Shrimp nachos and you have to pay almost 3 dollars more for the shrimp. When I got my food, there was 2 pieces of tiny shrimp on my plate. I get digging around in the nachos to make sure there wasn't anymore before I complained and there wasn't. So I notified the waitress and she went to talk to the manager and he NEVER came to the table. She came back and said that he said that was how it comes and that if I want more shrimp I have to pay. Bogus. It sad the lack of sympathy and professionalism the manager shows, he's ruining that place. The waitress then told me that one time I guy find a RECEIPT in his food and the manager still wouldn't refund the meal. He's definitely someone that doesn't need to be a leader.

We eat at this restaurant once a week , usually takeout . Tonight, we dined in with a party of seven. The service was horrible. We only recieved a refill by the manager, our waiter submitted our order 15 minutes after he took it, my order was wrong. One of the guest recieved his order after everyone else was done eating. I ordered chicken nachoes , like I do everytime , for some reason they were grilled chicken nachoes. The waiter accused me of ordering grilled chicken. My order that originally took 30 minutes to make , came out less than a minute later with watery cheese and taste horrible . I don't think I will ever go back.

The food is very good, service is prompt and friendly and the atmosphere is casual and relaxed. I will definitely go ack.

Really good Mexican food. The server was super nice. Got my food really fast. Liked the patio. Princess burrito was awesome.

Best manager I've ever been to at a restaurant. If you watch him he does everything, thats why on my days off i watch him and one day i want to he just like him

my wife and i eat here regularly food is good music is to loud service is ok .but what my problem is that they put a coupon on yp and wont honor it . we went in about two weeks ago and the waitress had no problem i showed her my phone got discount we went in today because we were trying to decide what we wanted to eat . we decided here because of coupon . the mgr said they couldnt honor it because it has to be printed out . well my phone doesnt have a printer built in . needless to say we paid full price . will not go back . they dont care if their customers are unhappy or not .

Have been twice and both times the music was way too load. The sound is horrible, not only loud. In addition, they have all if the TV's turned up too. It's like turning on every audio device in your home on something different all at the same time. You can't even have a conversation with the person at your table. Won't be back.

I went here with my family for Father's Day. It was a dismal experience, and we won't be back.



The food was hit-or-miss. Chips and salsa were OK. My older son's nachos were acceptable, my daughter's burrito was good, my combination plate was a mixture of good to awful. The rice and beans were good, but the tamale was AWFUL. Just gross. I have had better frozen ones. My husband's food was OK, nothing to really praise or complain about. But my younger son ordered a cheeseburger, and this is where our experience went from bad to worse. The waiter did not bring out the burger with the rest of the food. When we were finally able to get his attention to tell him, he claimed it would be out shortly, but it wasn't. About the time the rest of us were nearly done eating, the burger came out. It wasn't a patty, but two thin pieces of McDonald's quality "beef" on a bun. The meat was dry, and there was no cheese. The fries were cold and greasy. What made it worse was the complete lack of concern or apology on behalf of the staff.



We will never go back here. This restaurant deserves to go out of business.

Don't bother. Ho-hum food with little flavor. Obviously not home-cooked. Another poor attempt at Gringos trying to cook Mexican food. Decent service, clean and good location. Best to find a Mexican restaurant that serves REAL Mexican food and spend less for better food.
