El Siboney Restaurant (Downtown)

Whew yall, where do I begin 😍 we pulled up to the address thanks to Google, and we were certainly confused by The Neighborhood surrounding this phenomenal Cuban restaurant. Parking was scares but you can always expect that at the beach. We were greeted kindly and our drinks order taken while we contemplated what amazingness we were going to taste for dinner. My husband chose the ham and cheese sandwich with a side of yucca fries. We also ordered a T-bone steak with a side of white rice which came topped with grilled onions and fried plantains. The third meal that was ordered was the Cuban mix sandwich complemented by an imported Palma Cuban beer. Other drinks at the table were their pink lemonade (UNIQUELY delicious), a can of Jupina (stunningly good), and cafe con leche (no words to describe the level of delicious this brings, make sure you get the sugar with it, The sugar gives it such a lift). We shared a slice of key lime pie (real whip cream on top and tangy in all the right bites). it was all beyond delicious, and theres many reasons why this icon of a restaurant has the reviews it does 👏👏👏👏 Our waitress was on point with how she showed up for our table. She was paitent, so very kind as we couldn't decide on what we each wanted. She gave us great advice on what dishes were and which, and what is the most authentic. Yall, Definitely put this on your list to visit because the atmosphere, the food and the people who work so hard to give each table the experience of Cuba, deserve your money 👏👏👏👏🥳🥳🥳

Visited November 2025. I always visit when I come down to Key West. This is a cuban staple. The service is fast, the food is fresh and tasty. I always order the #1 pork. They are consistent every time. The black beans are seasoned nicely. The flan is also delicious. I look forward to the next visit.

My boyfriend and I went to this restaurant while on vacation and I don’t think I’ve ever had such good food in my entire life. I felt like I had tasted food genuinely cooked with love, I even joked with my boyfriend that the cook must have gotten lucky the night before their shift 😂 but seriously I couldn’t recommend a place more everything was so yummy even the bread they bring out when you sit down was just so damn delicious. Wonderful place and wonderful staff. If you are in Key West this is apparently the only REAL Cuban food as we were told by the staff at a moped rental place. I’ve already promised myself at some point in my life I need to come back to this restaurant🙏
