    Came here for the first time today and ordered the birria tacos and steak burrito. The food was made pretty quickly and it was absolutely delicious! It was fresh and flavorful and came with a variety of sauces/dips that perfectly paired with the entrees. The food truck and surroundings were very clean and the staff was friendly. I will 100% come back here again and would recommend this place to anyone looking for great Mexican food.

    Delicious Birria tacos. Honestly can't wait to go back. This place is closed on Sunday and Mondays so plan accordingly. Just noticed they now are listed for delivery too on DoorDash.

    loved this place. we drove past it and checked the reviews and saw it had 4.5 stars. i love authentic mexican tacos and this is it!

    Chicken Quesadillas

    Ate the chicken quesadilla and their birria tacos and it was AMAZING! Definitely recommend this place. It's a whole in the wall but they have great food for a great price.

    A couple of benches,  3 stools in the shade. Got mine to go.

    Only a couple of blocks off of Hwy 1, well worth the short detour. Find a place to park on the side of the road, and get some very good taco truck tacos. Three tacos on corn torts, 8 bucks. I wanted to try 3 different meats so I got pollo, asada y pastor. Pastor is almost always my favorite, this time it was my least, but still good. Too much pineapple for me, too sweet. The other two were great. Lotta cilantro y onions which I love. Red and green sauces, neither hot. Green was the best. Drink was a buck. Next time in KW, will definitely stop back in.

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. Fast food and a nice hidden gem in the town. Glad we had this kick off our trip.

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.

This…read morerestaurant offers plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating, and parking is easy thanks to the large public lot right next door. The food was outstanding. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and made with care. If there's one dish I highly recommend, it's the churrasco (skirt steak) served with rice, beans, and sweet plantains. The steak was incredibly juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. If you're wondering what to order, get the churrasco--you won't regret it. Amazing service! The restaurant itself has a fun atmosphere with beautiful Cuban-inspired décor throughout the dining room that adds to the experience. They also serve Hatuey, a Cuban-style lager brewed by Bacardí, which pairs perfectly with the meal and is worth trying if you've never had it before. From the delicious food to the welcoming atmosphere and convenient location, El Meson de Pepe delivers a fantastic Cuban dining experience. Whether you're a local or just visiting Key West, this is a restaurant that deserves a spot on your itinerary. Highly recommended!

    Blech! Food tasted horrible…read more Been here to their food truck at Smathers Beach a few times over the years. It was often the only food truck there, so it was my only option. But what i had was never any good. I once ordered a hot dog. It was so nasty tasting I didn't finish it. It was like grade D meat, worse than the worst school lunch bologna meat sandwich you ever had as a kid. Worst hot dog ever. There's no excuse for serving the cheapest kind of hot dog like that. I once got the scrambled eggs with ham. One side of the styrofoam container consisted of a plain flat omelet that maybe had 2 small eggs in it, with a strip of super-cheap sandwich-style ham lying on top, the kind that is rectangular and comes in a package with water collecting in the corners. The other side, which was more generous, was just rice and beans. It was like they threw in the bare amount of eggs and ham and then added cheap rice and beans to fill the container. None of the food tasted very good or anything. It was just so plain and cheap and generic. I was expecting a ham omelet I could smother with salsa and dig into. Got the BLT once; same deal. Barely any bacon, huge piece of inappropriate-sized bread that overwhelmed everything (it was ciabatta or something, as I recall). It was basically eating shredded lettuce and a white, unripe tomato slice on bread, with a sliver of overcooked dried out bacon. That was the final straw. Maybe I should have tried the Latin food, but I decided I'd given them a fair chance, over three years, and they aren't any good. It also takes like 10 minutes for them to make anything. There was always a long wait. Plus the guy seemed to confuse me with someone else. He was like, "You know your order? You going to be ready?" while I was standing in line, like I had held it up the day before or something. If I go back to Smathers, I'll either eat first, bring my own, or go to another place if it's there.

    Can't come to Key West without stopping in to get some of the best tacos on the island at Garbo's…read more It's always just been a food truck but they now have a small patio seating area next to Hanks Hair of the Dog bar. We got one order of the Cayo fish tacos to share. Each order comes with two tacos. We chose a bench in the shade on the patio where some chickens were wandering around picking up bits of food dropped by the patrons. It was fun to watch them run in a group when one spotted something had fallen. Our tacos were ready quickly and after the first bite we immediately regretted not getting a table because they are a bit messy with all the delicious toppings. Oh well! I persevered and used a napkin to soak up the juice and the chickens took care of of the rest. I will never miss an opportunity to visit Garbo's when in Key West.
