Padrino's Draft House & Grill

After driving for 7 hours, we were looking for neighborhood bar to relax over beer and wings. Place was excellent. On Tuesday, the bar super chill. Next door grill with same name serves food. We ordered wings that where excellent. Great music from the jukebox. Staff was friendly. Beer super cold. No draft that day.

Very nice staff good food, and beer was cold, especially the draft beer

There is no sign to indicate that they are open. I walked and it stinks and you can see people smoking inside. People looked at me, pointed at me, and laughed, like I didn't belong. It is a Hispanic bar that only has Mexican beer and is not welcoming if you are not Hispanic. Super exclusive vibe. And I'm black and Japanese. I was not welcome. They were happy when I said, "Only beer? Thank you." And left. Seeing a crowd smile bigger when you leave than when you come in is a bad sign.

Awesome authentic Mexican food, and great music! Lots of TV's shows to watch sports. 😋😊 The taste of food is delicious. They have 'Specials of the Day' every day of the week.

We just went by and we decided to buy 4 pupusas and what catched me and my mom's attention was that the lady in the back places 4 Tortillas where they cook and what catched our attention was that they were frozen but we didn't say anything and we just waited to get them and as soon as we got them we checked them and we realized that they were selling us reheated food.

I give them 5 stars I went yesterday for the first time and decided to try the Birria Tacos and they are so 😋😋 if you came to this restaurant try those tacos you gonna love them a lot .

I was the only one in the bar that was caucasian and didn’t speak Spanish. Food was good but everyone was staring at me. Little did they know I understand Spanish. Don’t go here if u want to talk to anyone!

The perfect little Mexican pub that I was looking for.

Under new management, food is delicious here, service great and feels like eating at grandma's. Real Mexican food!

Nunca eh hecho reviews, pero se lo ganaron las dos personas que estaban ahí la señora super linda y el cocino super nice un servicio de 100 agarré chilaquiles verdes y WOW súper deliciosos sorry no tome foto antes pero dios santo de lo rico que están así quedó mi plato

My family and I were looking for a restaurant that was serving food after 9 PM. We ended up here, and I had some of the best birria tacos I've ever had! We took the food to go, so I can't speak on the service. But the Mexican food here is very good.

We stopped in for a drink because we were early for our meeting nearby. It is a bit of a step into the past but the food we saw coming out looks totally delicious. Next time I want to go for lunch!

UPDATE: yeah, thought it was just an off day but they're just racist. lol. Don't come here if you don't speak Spanish. Awful. I came here and the workers just stared at us. We had to flag a woman down in an empty bar to order two beers, and she immediately goes and starts gossiping with her coworker in Spanish. We notice, and she says "we just think you look very young." Okay, then.. ask for ID? She ended up not ID'ing us, serves us the beer, and immediately goes back to blatantly talking about us in Spanish. Another party walks in and all of a sudden they are friendly as ever, ready with the chips and salsa and decent service. No problem - I paid for our beers that we ended up not even finishing and left. Good for those who they deem worthy of enjoying it, I guess.

I think there was a change in management because I came here before and it was great. This time around no one spoke English. Hard to order a drink

I've lived next to this place for YEARS, and this is my first time trying it. The reviews do not lie. This food is GOOD! I ordered the enchilada & chile releno combination plate, and ugh! I will probably order this every time I come here. I guess I will put the blame of the food's great quality on the fact that this place right next door to El Super. I really wish I would have tried this place sooner. There is an abundance of Mexican food spots to try in the South Bay, but this one really did it for me. I mean the flavor of the chicken and sauce on the enchilada was soooo good! The beans and rice were seasoned well. Rice was a great texture, and the chile releno was oozing with cheese. I came here on a Friday and they have a DJ playing some good dancing music. Not sure how turnt it gets, but people started to show up when I left at 8:30. I seen they sell pupusas and ceviche as well.... I will probably come here every week now

worst bar ever lol. from the lack of selection of beer to their non existent food menu this place was basically dead. I don't know how they're still open

Been living in Hawthorne for over 10 years and have always struggled to find a Mexican spot that makes tortas the right way. I decided to give the place a shot and I'm glad I did. I ordered the asada torta and it was BOMB! The bread on this torta is perfectly toasted! The meat was fresh and nicely marinated. I was a bit taken back when I realized they put mayo and mustard on the bread but it works. There's sooo much flavor on this torta. When you order this make sure you ask for some of their salsa roja, it is next level! The employees were super friendly and attentive. I will definitely be coming back here.

This is solely a review for the restaurant, not the bar, because we did not patronize the bar, although we did wander through and it was surprisingly nice and inviting. It was much nicer, in terms of ambiance, than the restaurant, which was a hole in the wall for sure, and had all the appearances of being just another generic Mexican restaurant, but once we started eating, that thought was banished. The food was some of the best Mexican food in the entire South Bay. The bean and cheese dip that came with the complimentary chips and salsa was enough to rate the 5 stars all by itself. It had a really unique smoky, almost barbecue like flavor. The salsa, while not looking like anything fancy was particularly flavorful as well. The tacos al pastor were a definite star, as was the carnitas burrito.

First time there enjoy the time going to try ob Frida and Saturday for karaoke bur I went on monday and I enjoy it

Went here for the first time today and the cook was super accomodating due to my husbands food allergies !! He said "no problem" i can do it! I apreciate that so much !!! And by the way the food was very good! Thwy were all out of birria tacos but thats a good sign because it means they are good! I got 2 tacos de papa and 2 tacos de pollo dorados . Also very good and i only ate 2 because i got full! Lol i will be going back maybe calling in my order to just pick it up. Thank you for the great customer service!

Cool quaint bar reminded me of Ecuador Cold glasses Receipt on napkin May be best little secret

Food here is amazing!! Love their tacos, quesabirrias, cocidos and the ceviche so good! Small place but, good food!.. highly recommend.. thumbs up

GOOD FOOD + DRINKS + GOOD VIBES = Padrinos Draft House Awesome place to chill with friends, have some drinks, play some games, watch a game and play some pool. their Mega micheladas are hands down the BEST! The food is delicious. The music and vibe at Padrinos will make your time there timeless. Definitely a must go place.

It's what one would consider a "hole in the wall" but what a mighty hole. Their chilaquiles are my go to, they are delicious and so tasteful. I've learned the secret... order the green tomatillo chilaquiles and ask for the red spicy sauce on the side. If you order the red- well I hope you like fire. The staff is so nice and they hustle hard. I appreciate them for it. The food and bar side are in separate rooms. But you can have both on either side. So whatever fits the mood they got it. Oh my I almost forgot- THE SHRIMP COCKTAIL. Holy moly- you don't have to add nothing to it. I usually add tons of lime, salt, ketchup, but not here. Oh no no. It's perfect. And those shrimps, you would think they got them from muscle beach. Those boys are big. My fiancé desperately wants me to add "I only gave it 5 stars because I couldn't give them 10!!!"

I found this place exactly a year ago during the pandemic. Their food is delicious, and the owners are friendly. I gave it 3 stars because the bartender is rude. A couple of coworkers(party of 10) and I decided to go for some drinks and the bartender Marina was rude. She was watering our drinks without a doubt. We told her, She took our drinks and when she brought them back she said" there, is that to your liking" with an attitude. I will most likely won't go back.

This place is like a whole in the wall, you would never expect it from the looks from the outside. It is located in a shopping center where "El Super" is located right off of Hawthorne and marine. Parking: After certain hours the whole parking lot is practically for Padrinos Draft House. Food: they have really good Mexican food with hand made tortillas for their taco selection! Drinks: it is a beer and wine but they mainly cater to the trending draft/ crafty beers. They have four alternating taps which is cool because you get to try a different beer every time. Very clean and chill; my local spot to go to for sure

So far, so good. Carne asada nachos get two thumbs up; trying their chicken soup now. Looks like a small, family-run eatery. Husband really likes the nachos, and the caldo de pollo was tasty, dense and full of meat.

Came here to meet up some friends for a quick drink. Turned out this place has amazing food, a good vibe, whatever music you want to listen to with the juke box( they do have a dj some nights as well) , and a very friendly staff. If you are coming with an appetite order the shrimp ceviche, its absolute fire! Also got the super nachos with carne Asada I recommend sharing this dish as it's huge! To top it all off, 805 is on draft and the bartender makes one hell of a michelada. Enjoy!

Came here with my boo boo for some drinks and found out they also have an amazing Mexican restaurant attached. I ordered the fajitas and they were delicious. The tortillas are hand-made, so good, and chicken is perfectly seasoned. Owners of the bar were hanging out there too. Really down to earth guys with a lot of passion. They have a pool table in the back with comfy couches and lots of TV's that made me feel really comfortable. I can't wait to come back here to watch my Bronco's! :)

Great food cold beer and good music service is on point. Came here after a concert and I can honestly say we found a gem. Bartender was quick to make sure my cup was never empty big selection of beer which is always a plus.

The set up is great with 4 projectors and 4 tvs so that you could never miss a season game that's on. Padrinos is not only a great Sports bar but their food is on point too. With The buckets of beers at great price, a pool table and Jenga for those who like to just go to hang out this place is for you.

I live in Lawndale and was looking for a local bar to watch some football. I came across Padrinos Draft House. Defiantly what I was looking for. Good food, ice cold draft beer and local craft beer. Will return soon.

Wow..words can't express al...Check this spot yourself-Awesomeness-Chillaxing-more more more

This was my first time here I ordered a Menudo the disappointment I got when I arrived home to eat it literally had no meat at all and I decided to try it, the flavor was awful it was salty I give it a 1 star because that's the lowest I can give it.

If you are looking for a place that allows you to have good food and conversation with friends while enjoying a low key fun atmosphere this is the place to go! The music was great. There is a Jukebox you can play or you can enjoy the old classics. There are board games you can play such as Cards Against Humanity among many others. Many drink and food options! Overall a great place to spend a Saturday night.

The best Mexican food in the area. Any taco you get you will be satisfied. The workers are real cool. I will highly recommend this place.

Great beer selection on tap. The Micheladas are the best though. Get one while watching any of the sport games of the day. Plus the food is amazing. Definitely a must.

Staff is very friendly. The music is great, a lot of old school hip-hop and top 40 jams. If you are looking for something to feast on get the Carne Asada Nachos! The portions are super generous and their food is finger lickin' good.

Been here a few times and it's great every time. Lettuce wrap tacos are my new favorite thing here. The jukebox always comes through. Great place to catch some Laker games. I'm sure this place will only get better.

Great taco spot! I had chicken and asada tacos, very tasty and the tortilla was fresh. The restaurant has a separate door than the bar, very convenient for just To-go orders. I will be back and try out other food in the menu!

Oh yeah. This is going to be my new spot to watch football games and it's near my house... Score! Also the bartender Valery is super nice and makes bomb micheladas!

They carry nice selection of beers, took a while for the food but the nachos and torta de asada were good

First off, the fish tacos are superb. If you like fish tacos, it's a must have here. The atmosphere is great, it's a good place to catch a game with friends. The staff is very friendly and they provide wonderful service. I showed up on a very busy Saturday night, but they still managed to bring a nice cold beer as soon as I finished my last one. They have a nice selection on tap as well. I will be coming back soon.

The Best Shrimp Cocktail this side of LA!!! Great spot to watch the game...industrial Shek!!! Great vibes ...like a classic Westside spot but on the Southside. Good for chilling and even better date spot!!!

This place is awesome. The food, beer selection, and atmosphere is awesome. If you are looking for a bar to hang out after work, during a lazy weekend, or you just need to get your spirits up, this place is for you. But don't always believe the reviews. You must always go and experience the place for yourself. It's worth it.

Great food, great vibes & great people. It's a great place to hang out with friends or to catch a game. It's a very comfortable bar, with awesome seating. All great beer too! The food is fantastic! Must try: Carne Asada tacos with hand made tortillas and carne asada nachos! Try it with their micheladas! It's a must. The vibe is awesome, and the service is amazing! Oh and if you just want to chill and have some drinks, you could play JENGA!! Or if you want to get groovy, their music is great too! Like I said, great vibes!!

Great food, great vibes, love the beer selection. My favorite part, get to watch the Dodgers play.

This place is super chill! Friendly, good music and the food is great.. If you haven't been you need to drop by at least once.

Great micheladas and great food ! Music is a bit loud but nice people and the set up is unique. Little hole in the wall sports bar but great service

Benito came into my workplace and told me about his family's taqueria. I didn't realize it was bar too! I have to say, their food is delicious and ever since Benito told us about this place and left a few menus, Pacific Tire in Lawndale orders food from Padrino's every week! All of my coworkers love the food, and they have a little bit of everything! All things Mexican food! From menudo, tacos and tortas! Thanks Benito for the recommendation. Will definitely keep ordering from here. Hope to come in and check out the place one day!

I really like the new decor & they have a good selection of beers. The ambiance is nice as well. I'll return for a casual night out :)

This place is a hidden gem for sports fans and beer lovers(local craft beers). Its literally five minutes off the 405 freeway so it makes it easy to (plenty of parking). They recently had a remodel and the place looks great inside (don't judge a book by its cover). I enjoyed the fish tacos and the very delicious michelada (bomb). I will coming back to Padrinos !!!! :)

Authentic and delish. Hubby had the taco platter and I had the chicken mole. The place is clean and the service and prices were good.

This place has great food and great beer. The only issue is that they don't serve liquor, but if you need to watch a game of any kind they are the place to be. The food is mexican food ans it is fantastic. The bartender is gorgeous! What else can you ask for.

Not your typical sports bar. I showed up here at 1pm on a Sunday and found them only playing soccer games. There were only three people at the bar. I sat down to order a drink and the bartender only spoke Spanish. I'm only giving this place 2 stars because it's not advertised right and I hope my review helps others out. The bartender was very nice and if you like soccer I'd highly recommend.

I orderd the wrong size beer and the nice woman working there charged me for the smaller size and still gave me the pitcher She was very professional and deserved the good tip.

What a change! this bar was formally known as Bar Mar de Oro, now under new management Steven, the owner and his business partner have remolded it and have transformed into a more modern, up beat sports bar. From the overhead christmas lights, to 3 big projector screens and numerous TV's there is no way you can't miss an inning or a quarter in a game. They show most major Boxing events as well. Their rotating beer on tap ranges from corona to hefe to IPA's. If your looking for a bite to eat their collaboration with next door offers a wide range of Pub and authentic Mexican food. Not to mention their specials on buckets of beer on game days and happy hour is one of the best in town. Will definitely be coming back!

All tacos have HOMEMADE TORTILLAS!!! Four stars for exceeding our expectations. Beer and wine bar (attached to a serious taqueria), with broad beer choices and a good number (10+) of beers on tap - Delirium Tremons, for example! Our bartender Alma praised the food, gave great recommendations, and helped us navigate the more traditional Mexican menu. Pool table and jukebox, awesome! We will definitely go back.
