El Padrinos Pizza and grill

Second time here and this place is great. Friendly service as soon as you walk to the time you leave. The manager / cook will come out and ask you questions about your order if it's a special order & he's not totally sure so that you get what you want instead of a guess. The food tastes great and is worth the little bit of time that you wait. I had never had a smash burger before and was hesitant but my goodness is it worth recommending to people. It has a great homemade flavor to the burger. The pizza has a different taste than these large chains and it's such a delight to the taste buds. I couldn't recommend this place enough.

This place was so great, we felt so welcomed as we came in and the food was absolutely AMAZING. Witnessed a young girl come in, and after realizing she didn’t have enough money for monster fries was about to leave the restaurant. The owner stopped her and reassured her she would be covered for the fries. True show of hometown love and kindness that’s missing in Tulare. We paid about 60 to feed 6 people, can’t beat that especially considering how delicious the food was. My family and I will be back, FREQUENTLY.

I saw the owner promoting his business on Facebook and read all the great reviews. Decided to go and check it out for myself and wow!!! The food really is that good. Actually so good that I came back the next day for another smash burger! The pizza is also really good as well! Definitely my new to go place! Definitely a thumbs up for sure

Honestly? The pizza could have sucked and I would still come back and try it again because of the friendliness of the employees/owner. No frills establishment, but I bet they would have rolled out a red carpet if I asked. They definitely aim to please. And the pizza did not disappoint. Just a perfect thin crust with char to it, that's very hard to find. That char is flavor bombs. And that, besides a picture of someone unhappy with the thin crust in the reviews is what brought me in. Pretty much way out of the way now that my kids are grown up and I no longer find myself at the high school farm anymore, but I will certainly be back. I am a real pizza snob, I do think this might just be the best pizza in the county.

The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was pleasant. We ordered a 12 Inch Medium Pizza half meat-lover & half downtown with six wings half buffalo & half garlic. We also tried their Smash Burger Single with Fries and Monster Fries. I highly recommend this place!

100% if you haven't tried this place, you need to. Me and the wife had a smash burger and a pizza. Hands down some of the best in the tulare County.Very respectful people, great workers all had a smile on their faces.Thank you guys! We will be comming back for the tacos!

Supporting small businesses is so important!I've been wanting to try this place out for a while now. Went to eat with the family and tried the smash burgers and Philly cheesesteaks with fries. For the kids, we ordered mozzarella sticks with fries. I asked if they had anything other than soda for the little ones, and the owner offered to get something from the store. He came back with a large bottle of Snapple for them!If this isn't great customer service, I don't know what is. I didn't catch his name, but he mentioned he grew up in the area and is glad to support the community with his business. Great place to grab some good food with generous portions, and the prices are right.Thank you, El Padrinos Pizza and Grill. We will definitely be back soon!

The food is delicious and the staff were incredibly polite. The garlic knots are perfectly buttery and not overly garlicky. The pizza was cooked to perfection. The smash burger is indeed their specialty and I definitely recommend ordering that.
