    Impossible burger
    Claire A.

    FANTASTIC! I regularly visit Key West but this is my first time here. The service is outstanding, as is the food. My son is vegetarian and had an impossible burger with crispy julienne potatoes on a Cuban roll. He said it was delicious. I had tostone nachos which also were spectacular. I intend to come again before leaving this island. If you find yourself in Key West wanting Cuban food, this is the place to come to. Also, I've never seen a restaurant offer a "magic meal". This is for someone who cannot afford a meal, they feed you. No questions asked. Im so impressed by this.

    A hidden gem right off of duval. We saw all the great reviews and came in for lunch. It is an outdoor seating picnic table laid back vibe. Menu includes burgers, tacos, sandwiches, yuka fries, plantanes etc. My husband had the Cuban sandwich, I had the steak tacos that came with 2 tacos salsa/side of guacamole we also got a side of fried plantanes. Everything was really good even better than expected. The reason for the 4/5 is just the price. Was a little pricy for the amount of food you get/outdoor environment. We did enjoy our meal and would come back as well as reccomend, just for example 2 tacos for $16+ dollars is high even in Key West. 100% worth a try!

    Wow. I am truly still speechless from how delicious Frita's is. I got a GF arepa with pork and a side of maduros, and you could instantly tell that the food was fresh and authentic. You order at the window and can sit on the quaint patio or take to-go. We did have to wait a bit for our food, but we didn't mind because everything was made fresh and came out piping hot. The prices were reasonable as well. I will definitely be back next time I'm in Key West!

    Found out today the meaning of a Cuban Burger which consists of beef and pork with sauteed onions on Cuban bread served with shoestring potatoes. We stopped into Frita's Coffee Shop which was an interesting sight. The shop was in total disarray with cluttered clothing and a mish mosh of furniture (see pic to make your own decision). A wooden bar was visible but covered with various items. But I saw the espresso machine and ordered two shots from the barista. He did not know the origin of the beans although the blend was definitely dark roasted and tasty. The side of the shop was open garden type with red picnic table seating under a canopy with a small kitchen toward the back.

    I LOVE FRITAS!! Right off Duval, you can't go wrong with stopping in and ordering anything off the menu. Their signatures include the Frida Cuban burger and the Cuban pork tacos, among other delicious items like empanadas, Cuban sandwiches, plantain and yuca, coffees, and desserts. Every time I'm fortunate enough to be in the Keys, I make it a priority to get to Fritas: you should too!

    The best hidden gem in Key West!!! Very affordable and a wide array of options on their menu. My boyfriend ordered their cuban sandwich (which we're told is a fan favorite) and absolutely loved it. He quite literally scarfed down the whole thing (and it was a big sandwhich). I ordered their birria tacos which were wonderful and very filling. They came with a great mango coleslaw too. We also ordered a side of fries which were soooo yummy. I wish more restaurants made fries like these... clearly i'm still thinking about them. The waiter was very lovely and checked on us multiple times. We sat outside on their patio which was very cute! The waiter even brought out a fan for us because he could see we were hot, which was very nice. If I'm back in the area I will definitely be returning! This spot was my favorite out of the 4 spots we tried in Key West.

    Cute tiny place selling burgers, empenadas and some other Cuban dishes. The food is good overall. The portion is tiny, but the prices are very good for this touristic area. You won't find anything more economical than this place on this prime street of key west.

    First a shoutout to my boriqua brother, Henry, who made the experience perfect! If you're fortunate to have him as your waiter, he is very welcoming and friendly. The food... OMG! It's off the hook (check out the pictures). I had their popular El Fuego Frita (perfect taste) and my wife had the Cuban, which was amazing. Their sangria was perfect and had mango and cinnamon (that was such a nice touch). Anyway, if you are in Key West, you must check out this little gem! You won't regret it!

    *Cuban Pork Tacos (House Favorite)

    The Cuban pork tacos were delicious! They give you a lot of meat and it is so flavorful! Great service- fast and friendly

    Sampler platter
    Leann G.

    Absolutely amazing food! It's a Cuban, Central American, South American fusion at its best!! Try the elite dip, sampler, and the empanadas!! Best food so far! Great service as well! Henry was an amazing server!

    Cuban Sandwich
    Tracy S.

    Delicious! The plantains were amazing. Also got the Cuban sandwich and fish tacos. There isn't a ton of seating and it's not terribly comfortable but it's definitely a good place to go to on a nice day!

    Phenomenal food and excellent service! I ordered the Cuban Pork Tacos and my sis ordered the Yuca fries and Cuban Sandwich. We ended up splitting both and they were equally amazing! Definitely will visit this place next time I am in KW!

    We came here for lunch after a long day of walking around Key West. The seating is outdoors only and it's quite hidden to find this place. Otherwise the service was great and quick. It did take them a while to make the food since everything is made fresh. I got the chicken tacos and the aioli sauce in it was my favorite flavoring they put in it. I highly recommend if you want homemade food!

    Can we bring our dog on the outside patio?

    I am pretty sure that would be fine. Key West is "low key and casual". There is also one seating area out front at a window and you could possibly also sit there. Worst case scenario get take out and eat on a bench nearby. Frita's is SO GOOD!

Our research told us that this would be a great meal and it truly was. I ordered the pork chunks, which were perfectly fried and so flavorful and tender on the inside. My wife ordered Ropa Vieja which was pulled beef, which wasn't as good, but still quite tasty. Had to bring food back home with us, which we ate for various snacks before we departed.

The restaurant is tucked away on a back street, far from the usual tourist spots, which adds to its charm. The food is authentic Cuban cuisine -- and I say that after decades of living in and around Hudson County, NJ, where the Cuban community is large and vibrant. At El Siboney, everything tastes fresh and homemade, with generous portions and prices that are refreshingly reasonable for Key West. This visit, I ordered the whole fried yellow snapper, served with yuca, yellow rice, and beans. My dinner companion had the Siboney skirt steak, one of the restaurant's popular dishes, served with a choice of sides. Both meals were excellent. Dessert was equally impressive: a delicious slice of tres leches cake and silky vanilla custard that were the perfect ending to the meal. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience. Dinner for two, including dessert and tip, came to about $100 -- a great value for the quality and quantity of food. El Siboney remains one of my favorite places to eat in Key West.
