My friends and I found ourselves at Frita's after we tried a couple of restaurants that were too…read morebusy. And I'm so glad we did! The staff was extremely friendly, we were seated outside promptly, and there was some nice, gentle live music. There were a few drink options (no liquor) and we enjoyed. The food came out at a good time and it was the best food we've had so far. I got a cheese arepa with black beans. The arepa itself was unlike any I've had before and its texture was soft and had a gummier cornbread feel. The taste was incredible and the beans were cooked perfectly. I also got the Cuban pork tacos on corn tortillas - the pork was perfectly tender with a delicious glaze. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a casual bite in key west!

Santiago's Bodega ended up being one of our favorite stops in Key West…read more It's an easy walk from Ridley House, and if we'd discovered it earlier in the trip, we definitely would have gone back more than once. In fact, happy hour is already on the list for our next visit. The sangria was so good that we may have lost track of how many glasses we had. The tapas format made it easy to try a variety of dishes, and everything we ordered was flavorful and well prepared. There wasn't a single plate that made us wish we'd ordered something else. What I liked most was how relaxed everything felt. We took our time, shared dishes, drank sangria, and enjoyed the afternoon without feeling rushed. Next time we're in Key West, Santiago's Bodega will absolutely be getting another visit.

I had the entree trio the scallops were cooked perfectly wrapped inside crispy bacon, the grouper was a little dry and the garlic mashed were slightly bland, the shrimp and were seasoned and cooked well and the spice level of e curry sauce over the rice was great. Overall a great dish. my husband had the appetizer trio and he enjoyed it very much. Again the scallops were the star. We got a side of fries to share and they were very reminiscent of In and Out - a little styrofoamy in texture. The Lime Aioli for the fries was the star here. My son had the grilled cheese and caprese salad - he is a picky eater and devoured them both. I'd say all in all this is a great place!

The wife is vegan and I'm meatatarian, so choosing food can be hard. I actually got the Rasta pasta with portobello and she got the same. It has both pesto and a jerk sauce. We're both very familiar with pesto and me with jerk. The look on her face when she tasted the jerk sauce was priceless!!! . I've never seen her react like that to any food.
