Have eaten at El Meson multiple times on our visits to Key West. Great place to stop in for lunch and get a Cuban sandwich with plantain chips. The food isn't great, but it's good and reasonably priced. I would recommend splitting the sandwiches though, because it's a large portion. more

I went to Mallory Square for the sunset and it started to rain so myself and friends stopped at the bar for "Captain and Coke" and 2 glasses of wine.

My husband really wanted Cuban food, so we ate at this place. The food was fine - not the best ever, but good. We were a bit annoyed that the way they priced their drinks in the menu was confusing - we thought we were getting a $7 drink and it was $10. Our bill was a bit higher than... more

this was one of my first times eating Cuban food. Pepe's is still the best. not everybody will like every dinner, so you have to experiment, and find a food you like. chances are that you'll find something you're crazy about. more

Great food. Try the Plantain Nachos with a Mojito. Be careful one Mojito goes a long way. more
