Great place to enjoy some Cuban cuisine. This came highly recommended from the locals and it didn’t disappoint. Great drinks and very good food.

Great spot to grab a drink from to watch sunset, the bar tender was really quick and entertaining while he made frozen mojitos

Great pllace for authentic Cuban food, but prices are extremely high. More expensive than the fancy places in Miami for good food, but n

Worst experience! Waste of money! NOT authentic at all! We went there on a Thursday and as soon as they sat us down the waitress got mad and told the hostess, she had too many tables and didn't want to service us and to sit us elsewhere (not in her area). She sat us down anyways and we had to wait awhile for a waitress to give us service. Once the food arrived it was cold, and no flavor! The ropa vieja was pale in color and taste awful (I gave them the plate back), the grilled chicken breast had absolutely no seasoning and tasteless, and the combination plate had VERY small portions. This place is extremely overpriced and over-hyped! 3 sodas, and 2 chicken breast meals = $90. They ended up taking the ropa vieja and the combination platter off the bill because we did not eat it! Needless to say, 2 of us didn't have dinner that night, by the time we left everything was closed. By the way, 3 tables (all sitting next to each other) saw a rat crawling around the ceiling area! GROSS!

I love Cuban food. This was a pleasant surprise because it was almost all better than expected the black beans were uninspiring but not bad. Everything else was better than expected. I knocked two stars from atmosphere because the chairs were very cheap. Service was excellent.

Best Pizza in town! I only gave atmosphere a because it's super noisy in there with the industrial ceiling.other wise it's quite cute inside.

Honestly, very unhappy with the quality of the food as well as the hygiene of the place, it looks dirty and with a bad smell, the cutlery and napkins were extremely poorly sanitized

The food is excellent and service is great. The atmosphere is kitschy fun. I'd definitely go back on my next visit to Key West.

Have to repeat! The sucker, spectacular. Very good desserts, a true Cuban coffee. Ramona's attention, especially kind.

The only thing that’ll make me go back to this place was the service. The waiter was great but the food was mediocre at best.

The food was amazing! The Cuban bread and salsa was outstanding! We probably would have bought a case of the salsa if they sold it

We've had many dishes from here and the food is delicious. A very casual and relaxed atmosphere.

High prices like every other place in KW, but the food and service are excellent. You definitely get your money's worth.

I went to this place and the best thing about it is to watch the sunset, the service is lousy and don't let them take photos of you because they take them so expensive and badly thrown away and they tell you at the beginning that they are free the cocktails are lousy I better recommend them beer

Great start high hopes and what a let down. Before I begin, for the people that don't feel like reading everything I'll just say look for a different place to go. So when first got there we were seated right at the front door which I said I didn't like and there were other tables available but I got a sour face from the waiter but I stayed and that was a mistake. The waiter was not very accommodating, and we had to pull teeth to get him to help. We ordered an appetizer which was actually really good and what gave us hope, but what a let down! We ordered Vaca Frita that came with white rice, 2 burned tostones, the meat was dry and tasted bad, we didn't touch it, we ordered a Mahi Mahi that came with the wrong sauce and came with a tiny ball of yellow rice that tasted like nothing and that was also not touched. My bill came over $100 and all the food was returned so I asked the waiter if it seems logic you will charge me for all the food when you clearly see that we didn't touch any of the main courses that we ordered. Needless to say he gave us a face like we going to ask him for a loan and the worst part was that the manager didn't come to our table once to apologize or even ask what wrong. To top everything we also heard the smack they were talking about us in Spanish (yes I know Spanish) and he came back taking tiny friction of the bill. So I ended paying over $120 for 1 appetizer and the rest was garbage that we didn't touch. I will say that the place itself have potential but they need much better customer service and quality check on their food. There are much better places to eat around so save yourself the aggravation and go somewhere else.

They advertise open until 10pm. Sat at the bar at 9: 30pm and was told the kitchen is closed. Perhaps you should change your hours.

Very well decorated, good food and good service, there was a place when we arrived, since they do not accept reservations.
We ordered the mahi mahi with shrimp and the breaded grouper.
Very good quality of food.
