The food at Padrecito is excellent! I heard great things about their tacos so I had to try it for myself.
We started our meal with chipotle chilaquiles with duck carnitas. It was spicy and the duck perfectly cooked. I didn't even know duck carnitas was a thing... We then shared an order of goat barbacoa tacos and an order of grilled sockeye salmon tacos per our waitress's recommendation. I enjoyed the goat taco the most because the meat tasted earthy, albeit a bit chewy, and was absolutely full of flavor. The salmon taco was delicious too and the salmon so tender, but I don't really like mango slaw or salsa so I preferred the goat taco.
Although the dishes are pricey, I could really tell that the food was made with fresh ingredients and that the restaurant took care in cooking their food well. For dessert we had hot and fresh churros with a delicious coffee flavored cream. I've never had freshly made, non-Costco or carnival churros before and I was missing out big time. So crunchy, crispy, light, and highly addictive. Padrecito is definitely on my go-to list because next time, I'm totally getting the pork belly tacos.
