    We had a delicious comforting meal here! Great diner like spot in the keys with yummy food. I got…read morethe key lime waffle and it was exactly what you'd expect and want in terms of key lime. My little guy devoured his pancake breakfast. The kids pancake was huge and came with bacon, his favorite. My husband got the slam and enjoyed it, especially the French toast. Our server was Lexy. She was so friendly and accommodating to our little one. He was so happy the entire meal, which doesn't always happen with a toddler. I'd recommend trying this spot next time you're in the Islamorada area. For a comforting meal, with a local vibe, it is a spot not to miss.

    So good that we went back for day two. We were staying at Casa Morada and this place is easily…read morewithin walking distance. My husband and I went for breakfast on both Saturday and Sunday of our trip. Both days the place was full and very busy, but we never waited more than five minutes because we sat at the counter, which was very comfortable. The staff were friendly and inviting and the service was excellent. They gave us time to peruse the menu and answered our questions. The first day I got the pancake combo with key lime pancakes. The pancakes were perfect, fluffy with crispy edges, but I would've liked a little bit more key lime sauce on top (I should have asked.) The whipped cream with the key lime sauce was a perfect combination. They brought out maple syrup, but I didn't use it. The second day my husband and I shared the French toast sampler and an omelette. The omelette was fluffy and well-filled with toppings. The French toast sampler allowed us to try a bunch of different flavors. We had the regular, cinnamon roll, blueberry, and apple cinnamon. We enjoyed all of them. The only "issue" we had was that my husband ordered the corn beef hash on the first day and did not end up eating it because he thought it was made in-house, but it was not and he really wanted it fresh. It's not necessarily a complaint. It's just something to note. Oh and I almost forgot that both days my husband got one of their fresh made cinnamon rolls from the case upfront. The first day it was an appetizer for him and the second day he took it home so we could enjoy it later. The atmosphere of the place is laid-back, keys vibe with lots of fishing and ocean related decor. They have a huge gift shop with a lot of art that you can walk through while you're waiting for your table. I would definitely go again if I'm back in the Florida Keys.

    Had breakfast here while staying at the hotel the food was great and the service is even better…read more Our server Palesa was very attentive and kind. She made our experience a wonderful one for sure. Give her a raise! Can't beat the view either.

    To start, I think this place has ample room for improvement and actually has a lot of potential…read more I'll say the ambiance is great! The views were really nice, I mean you can't go wrong with ocean front. The decor, very nice and unique with the painted pillars. So they have that. Service was lacking. I think the waitress was maybe new? But forgot our straws when requested. So I would recommend new servers to remind themselves to write things down if they are working on remembering. Or bring it before conquering another task. It was not a busy day, very empty restaurant; maybe 4 tables at most. The food came out at a decent time, not too slow or quick. Now for the flavor: we ordered the pupusa with the pork carnitas and the nachos with the carne asada I placed my expectations and standards low. This is a menu with a lot of different plates from different countries, which can be good or bad. In this case bad. Trying to put a lot of different cultures of food in one menu is very challenging if you cannot master any of them. It may be best to stick with one culture and master it first with better quality meat and ingredients. The pupusa was dry. We ordered it with the carnitas which came on top. Fine. You can do that I guess, but that's not a pupusa. That's a corn tortilla/patty with meat on top. The meat tasted stale and bland, and all of it was dry. The creamy sauce on top was sweet... it didn't mesh well at all. I think you need to rename the dishes because calling it a pupusa is not accurate. This was a corn patty that was thick and dry. There wasn't even any cheese in it. Nothing in it at all. So rename the dish, buy better meat and ensure it's flavorful, or make the actual dish correctly. Ask an El Salvadoran chef/cook to teach your crew how to make a pupusa. It's not very challenging if you make it correctly and one of the most delicious cuisines. Now the nachos: the sauce they put on top was sweet. Again with the sweetness, it was very odd. The chips were fine, a bit salty and they are store bought or purchased through a merchandiser. This warrants a price reduction if you are going to charge $15 dollars for nachos without meat. I had them add the carne asada so that totaled to $27. Insanity to call it carne asada, also. It was at best a steak from the worst part of the cow. It was cooked as if it was boiled and had no flavor. Carne asada is grilled, and has grill marks, and marinated. This looks like clumped up ground beef shaped into a small sliced piece of steak/strip. It was a loaded nacho dish, which had cheese, pico, and another creamy beige looking sauce and all you could taste was sweetness and stale food. I'm writing this review in hopes that the restaurant will improve by starting with purchasing better quality meat and investing in teaching their cooks or hiring cooks that are able to authentically marinate and properly cook the food that is being advertised on the menu. The menu looks like it will all taste good, but it is deceiving. All in all, if you're going to make a fusion-style restaurant, maybe just pick one or two Hispanic cultures or types of Latin American/Caribbean foods and perfect them. I saw various different styles of dishes and cuisines on the menu from at least three or four different countries. The pupusa is not a pupusa so I think that should be renamed, frankly. We did not get any Cuban dishes so I cannot comment on those dishes. The flavor and service is severely lacking. The two stars are for the decor and location/ambiance.
