We wanted to try authentic Cuban food and heard that El Siboney was the place to go. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a nice gentlemen who gave us a number to wait on a table. Once seated, it took at least 7-8 minutes for someone to take our drink order and another 8-10 minute wait to order. Once we... More

Fabulous fresh food served by an excellent staff. My brother in law(the vegetarian) could not resist the garlic chicken. He was chewing the bones.

My family went with no idea what we on the menu, but a friend said we had to go. WOW, the menu was surprisingly on target for everyone in my picky group! Ham steak for my son, chicken for mom, hamburger steak with the most perfectly sauteed onions I have ever got in a restaurant! Food was flavorful but familiar... More

Very popular Cuban restaurant. Quite crowded; reasonably good food. Not to far from the main Key West attractions. Probably not worth passing up other good Key West restaurants to try it.

We go here every time we visit, at least once. It is a homey, out of the way location with great service and phenomenal authentic Cuban food. Everything is good here but my favorites are the Cuban sandwich, the number one pork dish and the garlic chicken. One of my son's who is vegetarian, also found good food to eat... More

Our family loves Cuban cuisine ~ traditional, that is. So, when we heard about this restaurant from the locals, we knew we had to try it. It was a humble stand alone building in a funky neighborhood with a line out the door. When we made it inside, we discovered what looked like a miss mash of Native American, Mexican... More

Ask for Cuban food in KW and you'll be referred to El Siboney. The food is good, service is good, but it can feel crowded and rushed. Not my favorite Cuban restaurant in Florida, but it is more than respectable.

We have been there a few times. The first time, one of us had the Garlic Shrimp and he loved it. The next time we all had the Garlic Shrimp and are still raving about it. This is definitely a not to miss restaurant while in Key West. This is a family run "Mom and pop" place and just couldn't... More

Great Cuban food. Not easy to find but worth the trip. Place was packed and service was a little slow but we would definitely go to this place again if we're back in Key West.
