I tried this place multiple times to give it the benefit of the doubt and finally came to the conclusion is just not a good place to eat. Try it if you will, but you have been warned. Go to Chico's or Salsa Loca instead.

We saw their ad on Key TV and decided to go there. I had the steak fajitas and she had the beef machaka. Good stuff. Very good service and moderate prices.

“Best Cafe in Key West”

Old Town Mexican Cafe

Been coming to Key West for 5 years and while standards have slipped in lots of other restaurants this one has been consistently fantastic.

Brilliant for vegetarians and meat lovers alike - the food is really, really fresh and very tasty. Lots of veggies and lots of choice. Great salsa. Try the loquidas (Mexican milk shakes!). Pictures of Mexican revolutionary leaders in the restroom.

It is not a post restaurant. It's so it's great value and most of the property is outside, in the open air, right on Duval. So it is not a place to come and savour a long, romantic night out. We use it for a nice long lunch, usually coming twice or three times in a week's stay. The service is also quietly efficient rather than highly attentive.

It is a trully above average, genuine, quirky Mexican - you'll be surprised - go.
