Mexican slang for 'cool'. Anything can be padre; t-shirts, cars, actors, food, Antonio Banderas...

'Padre' is often used in common phrases such as "Que padre!" ("How cool!") or 'mas padre' ('very cool').

In Spanish, 'padre' literally translates to 'father' or 'parent'. And yes, 'su padre puede ser padre'.

Nobody seems to know why this is the word for cool.
Ay, chico, your car is really padre!

Padre is father in Spanish. But it means much more than just that. A Padre or father is a caring person that will always be by your side. This Padre is handsome and the best person to be near. People care for him and he tells jokes but not all of them are funny.

Padre

Share definition
A person from the Southwest U.S. diaspora (Texas through California) who embodies the cultural blend of Mexican American, African American, Indigenous, and other borderland influences.

A unifying identity that represents the shared struggles, slang, music, and pride of the Southwest — from lowriders to country ballads, G-funk to desert rock.

A cultural term reclaiming the word “padre” (Spanish for father) as a symbol of heritage, strength, and Southwest roots.
“Yeah, I’m a Padre — born in El Paso, raised in Phoenix, family from Texas and Cali.”
