Sorry but when I am eating lunch I do not want dirty dishes stacked up in front of me in a buss tub! Food was okay and cheap - but not the cleanest place in the keys!!!

This is a great little restaurant with terrific food. We went there for lunch and was pleasantly surprised at the quality and quantity of the delicious cuban food for such a great price. We have the ropa vieja and the garlic chicken. Both meals were very flavorful and filling. Whenever we visit Key West again, we are sure to make... More

Having moved to Wisconsin, we longed for Cuban food again. We found excellent Cuban food here, just wish we could have tried everything! It was a short walk from the "Southernmost point" even on a hot day, but worth the walk. I had the most excellent Pork Roast, my wife had Picadillo, and the bread...the bread....to die for!

What a great find in Key West. The family owned Cuban restaurant is great. The Cuban bread would be enough, but the entrees are yummy. Be sure to "find" El Siboney on your next trip to the greatest historical town in the Keys. Oh, and by the way the sangria is worth a pitcher

This little restaurant is located in a neighborhood of personal residences. However, they've made themselves a local favorite with their wonderful food. I had what I thought was going to be a shrimp enchilada but it turned out to be more like a shrimp stew - very yummy. Plantains served with most entrees if you like them. Don't miss this... More

My friend and I went there for an early dinner and it was wonderful. A friend recommended it and I was not disappointed. I had the Ropa Vieja which was a large portio with yellow rice, black beans and fried plantains. If i could have finished I would have but I was stuffed. Generous portions and reasonably price.

We've eaten at El Siboney several times over the past 12 years. This family restaurant consistently does a good business and so expect a small wait for a table. Start with a Sangria after being seated ~ very good. All the traditional Cuban food is on the menu. I really like the Palomilla steak, but did not care for Vaca... More
