El Siboney - Key West's Authentic Cuban Restaurant

El Siboney Key West – Authentic Cuban Flavor in Old Town

El Siboney Key West stands as a celebrated authentic Cuban restaurant in Old Town, known for delivering bold, traditional flavors that feel like home-style Havana cooking. Family-owned and operated since 1984 under the warm guidance of the de la Cruz family since 2004, this Catherine Street favorite remains a repeat winner for Best Cuban Food in Key West, attracting hungry locals and longtime visitors who crave true Latin comfort cuisine.

Inside the casual dining room, the aroma of garlic mojo, sizzling onions, and buttery Cuban bread sets the stage for old-world classics prepared with slow-cooked dedication. Generous plates highlight the signatures guests return for again and again, including fall-apart tender Puerco Asado, crispy Masitas de Puerco Fritas, juicy Siboney Steak (Palomilla) seasoned and grilled to perfection, and the famous Cuban Mix Sandwich pressed with roast pork, ham, Swiss, pickles, and mustard. For a showstopping feast, the menu features Paella Valenciana loaded with shrimp, mussels, clams, chicken, and chorizo, prepared slowly with saffron rice—allow a little extra time for a dish worth waiting for.

More Cuban favorites round out the experience, from Vaca Frita and Ropa Vieja to sweet maduros, savory black beans and rice, buttery yuca fries, and fresh local seafood served with time-honored sides. Open daily 11 AM to 9:30 PM with dine-in, takeout, and catering, El Siboney Key West continues to set the standard for genuine Cuban cuisine that keeps guests returning for a taste of tradition.
