Absolutely fantastic food. Friendly little hole in the wall place with all meals made to order. Of all the places I've eaten in Key West in the past 10 years, this was one of, if not THE best meal I've had. We'll definitely go back...again before we go home.More

Beat comfort seafood that we’ve had in Key West. Wanted to try the Escargot, but opted for the snapper with rice. Super choice!!! Chef’s kitchen in the house.

White Street is one of the most underrated restaurant locations in Key West in our opinion. Mo's absolutely is the king of the street. We enjoyed incredible plantains, Caribbean chicken, and a goat to be remembered! The owner was not only our waiter, he was...also our cook, our cashier, etc. He is indeed the hardest working man in Key West, and his restaurant is a gem.More

We ate here for supper tonight. My husband had the oxtail. I had the seafood casserole. Both were amazing! I ate way too much. They even gave us pie/cheesecake as we were leaving. That was also very, very good!

This restaurant is one of the top 5 greatest restaurants I have ever been to. I didn’t know what it was until I googled it, you would never know it was Haitian until you walk in. I walked in and the smell hit me, I...knew it was going to be good. Great family run restaurant with flavor out of this world.More

A friend told us about this place and the reviews in Trip Advisor were all so good we thought we would get off the beaten path and give it a try. We are happy we did. The location is on White Street and there was...plenty of free parking on the street. When you walk in you can smell the spices...the menu has something for everyone. We were trying to please normal, adventureous, vegan and gluten free eaters and everyone found something delicious to order. Our group had veggies, white rice and black beans, oxtail with red bean rice and veggies and chicken with rice and veggies. The veggies were fabulous...my favorite part of the meal for sure. The portions are large so go with an appetite. The owners/operators were friendly, helpful, accommodating and service was excellent.More

We visited twice on our 4 night stay in Key West. I've tried Haitian food before but this place had a different twist to it. The service was quick and very homely. You can tell this is a real family business and the food really...showcases the love of food and family. After your meal they serve a scrumptious slice of Key Lime & also a slice of Pumpkin pie, I'm not a huge pie person but it was very delicious. Definitely try this place out, the food is definitely a labor of love, we had the snapper fillet with rice and peas and veggies and also the Creole shrimp pasta, 10 out of 10.More
