El Meson de Pepe brings authentic Cuban food, mojitos, live salsa music, patio dining, and Mallory Square sunset energy to 410 Wall Street in Old Town Key West. This family-owned Cuban restaurant sits beside the nightly Sunset Celebration, making it a strong stop for visitors looking for lunch, dinner, tropical drinks, music, and waterfront atmosphere before or after sunset.
The menu highlights classic Cuban flavors with island character, including ropa vieja, lechon asado, picadillo, vaca frita, Cuban sandwiches, plantain dishes, seafood specialties, conch fritters, Cuban nachos, paella-style plates, rice and beans, sweet plantains, flan, and Key lime pie. Guests can enjoy hearty traditional entrees, shareable tapas, refreshing cocktails, and the restaurant’s popular Meson Mojito while taking in the lively patio setting near the Gulf.
Live Caribbean and salsa music before sunset helps give El Meson de Pepe its signature Key West personality. The restaurant is especially useful for visitors planning a Mallory Square evening, a Cuban food stop near Duval Street, or a casual dinner with music, mojitos, and sunset atmosphere. Seating is first come, first served, with a waitlist available when needed.
