    Cuban mixed sandwich. Lots of roast pork, home cooked ham, veggie relish.

    Love this place! A little Cuban cafe with the nicest people, and the best food! Coffee Cubano was absolutely delicious. The guava & cheese pastry went really well with the coffee. Then I took the hot sandwich and a fruit soda to the beach nearby for a tasty lunch. Will return asap.

    Parking lot / dining area

    This cafe is a tiny slice of heaven. My girlfriend and I got coffee and breakfast here this morning and absolutely loved it. FAR better then "The Morning Joint" next door. Also reasonable pricing! The ladies working inside were extremely polite and nice to talk to while asking about menu options. They even brought our food out to us. You order inside the small storefront and eat outside at one of the tables with a nice view. The coffee was strong but fantastic and exactly what she was hoping for, while I enjoyed one of the "jupina" pineapple sodas. We ordered the Cuban breakfast with chicken and breakfast tacos with bacon. Needless to say there were no leftovers. We will be coming here for now on when we come down.

    Shack Stop Get some fresh comida and be happy. Family owned Cuban sandwich (not on Cuban bread like in TPA, more like hogue roll) thick ham, pork and special sauce which was a tang pickle Mayo mix- good stuff

    Caribbean wrap on the left, Cuban Sandwich on the right!

    Absolutely yummy food! A little hole in the wall on the way back from Key West. A gem of a place with such friendly people. My hubby and I shared the Cuban and a Caribbean wrap. Lucky for us we could each try 1/2! I will crave this food...

    Cuban breakfast- as a sandwich (on toast)

    Authentic small/quaint place with amazing food and service. The staff were friendly and recommended their Cuban breakfast on a sandwich with chorizo, and it did not disappoint. Cafe con leche was the best we've had! Highly recommend. Outdoor seating is available/ no indoor seating.

    Delicioso Cuban

    Dios mio! Delicioso. You won't want to miss this small hole in the wall - they're so much more than that. Absolutely wonderful lovingly prepared Cuban classics with fabulous friendly hospitality that might remind you of home. I sort of felt like I was asking mom to make us lunch. Loving, doting people. Yes, they take credit cards. Yes they might could be out of this or that, they're small, but hey, that's just going to make you want to come back some other time. I'm sure of it. Jonesing for the tamales here! Counter service with some fun ecclectic outside seating. Cuban was spectacular. Pork chops lunch special was nom nom nom yum yumn. Lol. That yucca tho. What a treat!

    Front door and seating.

    100% recommend. Stop here. Don't second guess. It seems small and a bit of a hole In the wall but there is something magical that happens in that kitchen that sets this place apart from anything else in the area. Literally everything that came out of the kitchen was complimented by me or one or the other patrons. We ordered at the counter which was literally small enough to be part of the kitchen and sat outside under the deck at a picnic table. There were others there and we weren't immediately sure we made a great choice but one by one people who finished re-approached the ordering counter and complimented the food. The anticipation grew and it culminated in a symphony of delicious satisfaction. This is where you want to stop on your way into key west. It's better than anything we had in our time in New west proper and came with off key prices. We got two meals, two drinks, and dessert for under $30 and it was the highlight of our trip.

    Breakfast Tacos con Chorizo

    The best Cuban food I've had! We got the breakfast tacos, Cuban mix and steak sandwiches, everything was so flavorful (the sauces they use is just )and the ladies working were so so sweet! Highly recommend

Everything was delicious! One of our best meals in the keys. Food was fast and outdoor seating pleasant. -- Our second food truck in a row that was closed when they were supposed to be open.

Located in a container yard parking lot across from Home Depot, it's been operating here for several years and clearly has a steady following. The setup is simple but functional, with a shaded palapa area for seating. The menu sticks to the basics: tacos, quesadillas, tortas, and burritos. No gimmicks, no overcomplication--just straightforward Mexican street food. We tried a mix of tacos, and everything was well executed. Fresh tortillas, properly seasoned meats, good balance of toppings. Service was quick and efficient. Pricing is fair, especially for the Keys, and the overall experience is exactly what you want from a place like this--fast, simple, and satisfying. If you're in Marathon and looking for casual Mexican without the sit-down commitment, this is a solid option.

    We were really looking forward to trying this restaurant, but unfortunately our experience was…read moredisappointing from start to finish. The online waitlist initially estimated a 60-75 minute wait, not an issue, had a cocktail upstairs and really wnjoyed ourselves. When we checked in, we were told we were next eventhough thebonline portal told us to come. After waiting another 15 minutes, we were told our table was just being cleaned and to wait where we were. A few minutes later, another employee told us we had to move because a different party was holding the door open, so we ended up standing behind the bar with our backs against the wall. It just felt awkward and disorganized. When we were finally seated in the back room, we thought it would be nice since it was quieter, but it was extremely hot. I'm usually the person who is always cold, yet I was sweating through dinner. Service also left a lot to be desired. The food runner handed our hot dinner plates directly to us instead of placing them on the table. I was sitting at the opposite end of the table from him, so I had to reach out and take a hot plate. I even asked if it was hot, and he still practically dropped it into my hands. I had burned my fingers earlier that day, so it hurt!!.. but it was that or drop my pasta!? Our server also repeatedly reached across guests' faces to clear plates instead of walking around the table. At one point my sister didn't even realize she was there until an arm reached in front of her, which was awkward. To make matters worse, two of our dinners arrived about seven minutes before the remaining meals, so part of our table was left waiting while the others' food got cold. We asked for grated Parmesan for our two PASTA dishes. No one mentioned there would be a charge. It took another six minutes to arrive, and when the bill came we discovered we had been charged $2 per serving. We asked for two servings, but three were brought to the table--and we were charged for all three. Six minutes may not sound like much, but after already waiting for the rest of the meals, another delay while watching our server take new tables' orders instead of bringing the cheese felt frustrating. To end on a positive note, three of the meals were good. My mother-in-law really enjoyed the grilled wahoo, my husband liked the BBQ mac and cheese, and my sister liked the fried artichoke. Overall, it wasn't one major issue--it was a series of small service problems that added up and made for a disappointing experience. We hope this feedback helps improve the experience for future guests.
