Well worth the 5 minute walk in the dark from Duval St. for an inexpensive and plentyful dinner. The restaurant was constantly receiving new diners, so the athmospere was lively and friendly. Our order was served in less than 10 minutes, and the food was excellent. We'll be back next time we visit KW. more

This place is frequented by a lot of locals. The portions were huge (for lunch) and everything was fresh and delicious. I had the roast pork, which was outstanding. The plantains were fluffy, the black beans hit the spot. Good prices. A little off the beaten track, but not a far walk from Duval Street. Well worth the extra steps. more

Food was good, not great but definitely good. This is a no frills restaurant, so don't expect anything too nice! :) Wait staff was very good, fast but definitely not friendly at all. Food was very inexpensive, especially for Key West, my husband had 2 pork chops, which were very thin and not enough for him. I had shredded beef... more

We were a bit hungry after a long drive from Isle of Capri, so we headed over for an early dinner (around 5:30ish) and good thing we did. We were seated immediately, but as we were leaving there were a handful of folks waiting outside for a table. Although, we're sure they wont wait for too long since the service... more

Have to say, we've had much better Cuban food in many places a whole lot further from Cuba so this was a disappointment. The food is good, not great and this would probably be great choice if you have a loud group that needs to feel free to make a lot of noise. However, If you're a couple, looking for... more

It's tough to impress us, as Floridians who have access to outstanding Cuban food on a regular basis, but we had to try, as this is a Tripadvisor favorite (we went against the advice of a local). It's a fun "hold in the wall" family restaurant, which we love. It is lacking on cleanliness (floor was dirty- hate to think... more

We were recommended this restaurant by our Concierge at the hotel. We walked over to the restaurant and enjoyed going through the residential area and relaxing in the start of the evening. This is obviously a hidden gem - the restaurant was bustling with take out and filled up with in-house diners while we were there. We enjoyed the Cuban... more

El Siboney is off the beaten path, in a residential section of town. This place is no-frills for sure and is very casual. We were seated right away and waited on quickly. Our waitress was pleasant. The food came quickly and was delicious. My husband had the roast pork with yellow rice, plantains and black beans. I had the "combo"... more

We like this restaurant very much. It is authentic, good Cuban food. No question. But on our most recent visit we were traveling with 2 other couples neither of which had ever been to Key West before and we only had 3 days. The ambience at El Siboney is probably very Cuban, very Mom's home cooking-ish. Nothing wrong with it,... more
