Food was alright - not that much of a selection... Give it about 2-3 hours then it hits you like a tsunam. Man I don't know what they put in the food but it had me on the toilet for a while. My whole family and this is not good since we are all sharing a one bathroom hotel. Good food but bad aftermath... read more

I was staying at the Caloosa Cove resort which is an easy walk to Habanos Oceanfront restaurant. I really enjoyed their fresh seafood and seafood pizza. Nice selection of Cuban dishes as well. I really liked the food from Habanos Oceanfront. read more

Food was not up to par. Grouper is featured and frozen. Not yet in season. The sandwich was lacking fish snd not well prepared. Even Cuban sandwich was just so-so. read more

Food 4 stars Service 1 star The food was decent and the portion was great for the price. This was our first meal stop on the way to key west. But the whole experience turned sour when the waiter tried to scam us. We ordered a whole fish ($33) which the waiter later told us it was no longer available. He recommended that we switched to fillet dish for $22. When the bill came, it showed $38 and they included the 18% tip for our party of 4 even though the menu said 6. After complaints they offered me 10% discount which was already the case since i paid in cash. The waiter was dishonest. Beware. read more

Best Cuban food in the Keys, hands down! If you're over the endless seafood spots and craving something different, this place is a must. From the moment you arrive, the staff makes you feel welcome, and the ocean view while you eat is just the cherry on top. The food? Absolutely incredible. It's comforting, flavorful, and tastes freshly made with care. I was honestly speechless after the first few bites. They do have seafood too, and from what I saw, it looked just as amazing. Portions are generous, so expect to leave with leftovers, and the prices are super reasonable for what you get. Don't skip the cortadito at the end, it's the perfect finish to an unforgettable meal. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Stoped here on a Tuesday evening. Noticed the 4 Florida State Trooper cars parked in the lot so we thought they must have good food. We were right. I had the hog fish dinner with mashed potatoes and steamed veggies. My wife had their Mai-Mahi sandwich with fries. Both our dinners were mainly average. The hog fish was sorta flavorful but dry. The dab of mashed potatoes were good and my wife's Mahi-Mahi sandwich was dry but did have good flavor. The restaurant was busy with all the tables full but a quick turnover. All in all we'd stop here again. read more

Another meal on the Florida keys, another Cuban restaurant to try out for lunch... Located on a marina in Islamorada with some ocean view, from the outside this restaurant is more upscale compared to the other Cuban joints we've tried, however the interior resembled a breakfast cafeteria at a typical 2 star hotel. Service was pretty slow and disorganized given only 2-3 tables were occupied while we were there. We ordered the Palomilla steak and the fried crack conch basket. I'm not a big fan of the briny flavor of the conch and the batter was pretty thick and not crunchy. While I enjoyed the mustardy sauce that came with the steak, the steak itself was pretty under-seasoned and bland. The after lunch cortadito was good, but I wish they had something better than the styrofoam cup. Another note: although the menu states they charge 18% gratuity for party of 6 or more, they automatically charged the 18% tip for our party of two anyways. If you are looking specifically for Cuban food, there are definitely other better spots. read more

This is the third Cuban spot that we've tried on our Keys trip. Located at a marina, this is the fanciest looking (not by much) of the spots and the least tasty in our opinion. Plenty of parking spots in their lot. Again, they automatically add a 18% tip on your bill (we had 2 people) so that's a bit obnoxious in my opinion. We found out on the check. The service was on the unfriendly and infrequent side so that's another minus. We got a fried conch basket and a skirt steak. The conch tasted frozen and the breading was soft and a bit terrible. I do better breading on my fried foods at home any day of the week. The steak was a bit under seasoned and bland. The dishes had above average quantity but below average quality compared to the hole in the wall Cuban spots on the other islands. read more

The restaurant was clean, open and welcoming. We were greeted right away and told we could seat ourselves. The tables were positioned around the windows so most had a view. We sat down and our server took our drink order. She was very friendly and attentive. She brought out our sodas and we ordered calamari, lobster bisque, a breaded beefsteak and a steak with onions. The food was delicious. The thin steaks were cooked very well and were tasty. DH ordered "Moro" as his side with yuca. Moro is rice and beans cooked together so the bean flavor is infused with the rice. I ordered "Tostones" - fried plantains and white rice with black beans. All of the food was awesome. I had to add salt to the steak but they were tender and juicy! They give you large portions and the prices are extremely reasonable! We took the food home that we couldn't eat and ordered 2 "flan" (custard) to eat at home! I wish we had come here at the beginning of our vacation! We'll be back before we leave though! There are several dishes that we'd like to try! Come in and enjoy your meal!! read more

Super disappointed because this place because it has good reviews. Food was mediocre! Everyone in my party didn't like what they order. It was dried out and tasteless. Smells horrible when you walk in. Service was terrible. Definitely not what I was expecting for a place in the keys. I won't return and don't recommend. read more

Always came for the convenience and the food never disappoints. The pizza is good and they have good Cuban Sandwiches meals.

Always like to try new places. There is a bar as you walk in, and the restaurant is in the back. Our waitress was attentive and nice. Food was served 10 minutes after ordering. The sandwich was ok, good amount of cheese on it. The onion rings are beer battered and not greasy. The best part was the rice and black beans. Nice view of the marina and overall ok experience. read more

Pulled over to use the bathroom and WOW! What an amazing Cuban Sandwich. Cold beer too!!

Walking up to this place at 2110 it looked empty then I realized it has a bar area in the front and the restaurant seating area is in back and it was packed. Service from our waitress was ok. The other male server was great. When you see people of the same culture as the food that restaurant is serving in that restaurant, that's a good sign. When you see lots of them, that's a great sign. Like if you walk into a Chinese restaurant and see no Chinese people.. you might want to reconsider your choice. I had the skirted steak. It was absolutely delish. Well seasoned. Tender. Cooked to a perfect medium. Rice and beans were yum! Tostones was fried to a crisp golden. The sauce that came with it compliments it well. Highly recommend this. Entrees come with a choice of two sides. They have several to choose from. I loved the rice and beans. My son has the shredded pork. He didn't really care for it bc of the vinegar-citrus flavor it had, but I liked it. He loved the fries and onion rings that he ordered with it. Pepper steak was good too. That was ordered with rice and fried yuca. If I ever come travel this way again I will definitely put this place on my must go to place for eating. I have never had Cuban food before and it was a to do item on my list for this trip to Florida. Glad I came here for my first experience! read more

Stopped to get a quick bite after spending the day fishing. First glance is that the place seems upscale however once inside is a representation of a day to day cafetería. The menu is simple and to the point and the dishes were concentrated on the Cuban Cuisine. Granted the food looked fresh and the taste was adequate. Service was a bit lacking as water was requested and was not brought out until asked for it again way after the food arrived. Price were somewhat on the high end especially for the appetizers. The ambience was dull and the were minimal in the sense of not really potraying a typical Cuban experience. Having gone to plenty of Cuban restaurants here and in Cuba. I would add that a little music or more actual decorations. The experience is ok, but not an Aww moment. read more

Meh... Service was excellent, no complaints there. Ambiance, is very casual not thing special. Food usually is good and that's why I'm a return customer... however... last night's dinner was a fail for every single dish. Ropa vieja de puerco was more like a steal do pork with hardly any seasoning (it should have been shredded pork). Neapolitan pizza did not have its authentic unique cheese blend which made this pizza very bland. Langosta enchilada was tiny pieces of lobster swimming in tomato sauce, again, no seasoning. Spaghetti with chorizo was inedible, tomato sauce with NO flavor! Mahi mahi was fair but the entire dish was served very cold - unappealing. Management/Owners look into to what's being served, it's not good food, sadly! read more

We love Habanos and stop here regularly when in the Keys. We also stay at Caloosa Cove Resort (next door) whenever we are in Islamorada. It is an easy walk to this restaurant if staying there. This restaurant focuses on Cuban food and it does a fantastic job of it. Think Cuban sandwiches, roasted pork, etc. My all time favorite item they make is the lunch exclusive wrap. It has meat, rice, beans, veggies, plantains(!!!) and a chimichurri sauce on the side. Fantastic and I wish it was offered for dinner also because I love it so much. We went on June 24, 2021, for dinner and we ordered Cuban sandwiches and a pizza. It was all tasty. Good portions. Both my son and I had half our sandwiches left over- so we could have ordered one sandwich and shared it! They were busy. Our server, who we have had before, could be seen as abrupt and unfriendly if you do not understand her and the restaurant. She doesn't always greet you and just asks what you want. She is busy and warms up with a smile and a thank you. We will always love this place and her- we know and see she is working her butt off to make sure everything is done well and right. I wanted a to-go sangria to take to my room next door but they don't offer that- so I just ordered another one and drank it at the table. Haha. Recommend stopping in here for a nice, quick lunch or dinner if traveling the keys. I wish they served breakfast so I could enjoy their great Cuban coffee in the morning! read more

Great out of the way restaurant. Nothing fancy just great food. Plus the have draft beer.

Was not addressed right away when we arrived. It was a long process overall to order and wait for the order. Food was basic, nothing to hype about. Cubano was probably 2.9/5. Tuna sandwich 3.9/5 Go out back to eat if you want a view. Would not come back to be frank read more

A real 4. Prices are great. Setting is picturesque. Especially for a diner. Very good but not great Cuban fare. Black beans were excellent. Service is very attentive. The people working here clearly like it and yep, you can hear them in the kitchen but it's not distracting at all. Adds to the charm! Definitely worth the visit. Black beans were great. read more

Best Cuban food in the Keys. Bring your fresh catch there and they have great sides and they cook the fish exquisitely. Very friendly staff.

Good food but when I was served a key lime pie it came with two dirty spoons and some small bites taken out of it. When I asked for a fresh slice they said they were all out. Lucky I was not charged for it. read more

We had two of the nightly specials and they were both amazing. Don't even get me started with on the plantains.

Omg! If you love Cuban food, you must try this place. My friend asked me if I prefer ambiance or good food? Of course my answer is good food. Food is incredible. The yummy cracked conch is a great appetizer. The delicious Blackened Scallops are my favorite. Texture and seasoning is perfect. Vaca Frita is a must. The sides are all great. Rice and Beans, Yuca Fries, Onion Rings (must), and Maduró. Make sure to save room for the Flan. Portions are really generous. Price is amazing. Best Cuban food in the Keys. read more
