    We came here for a late dinner and to hopefully catch the sunset. We timed it fairly spot on. They…read moresaid it would be about a 20-25 minute wait but it actually took less than 15 minutes. We got seated inside just as the sun was starting to set. Sadly all the guests that had finished eating right before us decided to walk over to the dock outside the restaurant which just so happened to be the exact viewing location for the sunset so we didn't get any really good photos of it bc there were so many people over there videoing it and taking photos. It was still nice scenery while we waited for our food though. I ordered ceviche to start us off as our appetizer and it was really good. My dinner was a pasta dish with shrimp and scallops. The sauce was supposed to be a white cream sauce but it was really runny. Even adding extra Parmesan cheese to it didn't help thicken it. It tasted ok. Not my best pick. I had a choice of soup or salad with it. I chose their she crab soup and I'm glad I did. It was great. Almost reminded me of homemade chicken and dumplings soup just with crab. I really liked it. I should have stopped with that and the ceviche. My husband got a grouper fish sandwich. He thought it was good but the prices were a bit high for what it was. His fish sandwich was $29. Although good, not worth $29. My pasta definitely not worth the $31. May be a bit of a tourist trap but the food was decent.

    When my dad and I came here last year this place was great. A lot has changed. Our server was…read morehorrible, she only came to check on us once, and to give us the bill. we were seated around the bar around 1pm today. I ordered the calamari and ordered it plain without all the extras. It was so greasy and chewy. There was oil all over the plate. I sent it back. Mahi sandwich was good, but you get such a small amount of fish. It was very thin, and then I had to wait an extra five minutes after the food got there to get my side.

    While driving to Key West, we stopped at this restaurant. We had spent almost the entire day at…read moreBahia Honda State Park and were absolutely starving. I kept thinking, "till Big Pine Key, I've seen so many waterfront restaurants--so let's just head toward Key West, and if something looks tempting, we'll stop." That's when we spotted Kiki's. The big, bold sign caught my eye, and we took a right turn Parking was easy (lots of space), and the place had that classic tropical vibe--laid back, colorful, and vibing. The restaurant has two floors of dining plus outdoor seating. Near the entrance, there's a small stage for live music and a bunch of bright Adirondack chairs that really add to the chill atmosphere. signs for big cities (like 2000 miles to Quebec, haha) We got our table quickly, and since we were trying to make it to Mallory Square in time for sunset, we let our server know we were in a bit of a rush. Unfortunately, the service wasn't great, and we ended up spending about 55 minutes there, which felt longer than expected given our timing. We ordered: * Mahi Basket: - really good, and my wife loved it. * Snapper Sandwich: with crunchy fries and sauce - solid and satisfying, also great fish Overall, the food was good, the vibe was matching, and the whole setting was really nice--just the service didn't quite match. But honestly, if we hadn't been in a hurry, it probably wouldn't have bothered us. They also have a pier for boat parking, a small gift shop, and air conditioned bathrooms (haha). Nice spot!

    Great vibe, live music, and a friendly waitress -- started off strong…read more Then the kitchen sent me the wrong order (fish sandwich instead of a burger). Couldn't get the server's attention, so I just ate it. When the bill came, I calmly explained and asked for it to be removed -- not to avoid paying, but to acknowledge the mistake. The manager came over visibly annoyed, took zero responsibility, offered no apology, and basically said "you ate it, you pay." Then walked away. This wasn't about the money -- it was about accountability and basic respect. Completely mishandled. It's a shame because the place has a great atmosphere, but with management like that, I won't be back. Plenty of better options in the Keys.

    Updating my review from yesterday after our family had lunch there today. My husband and son both…read morehad chicken burritos and I had carnitas tacos. We also had chips and guacamole. 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. Their own website says they are open until 7pm and they were closed at 5:45pm today (Wed).

    Taqueria La Palapa is a no-frills food truck in Marathon that does exactly what it's supposed to…read moredo--and does it well. 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.
