Pepito's Sandwich Shop - Florida Keys

This restaurant is a fantastic choice for an authentic Cuban culinary and cultural experience in Key West. The atmosphere and ambience truly reflect Cuba, and the staff is both friendly and charming. The menu offers a wide variety of options to choose from. We started with several tapas, and for our main course, we enjoyed the grilled red snapper with creole sauce, black beans, plantains, and yellow rice—it was absolutely delicious. For dessert, we sampled the Key Lime cake, which was undoubtedly one of the best I've ever had. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant for a delightful dining experience and excellent food.

I had an excellent dining experience at this restaurant. The food and service were outstanding. Upon arrival, I was greeted by a friendly and welcoming staff. I ordered the beef dish, which substituted rice for a generous portion of salad—fantastic! I can’t remember the name of the appetizer, but it featured grilled scallops, and it was quite good. My friend chose the platter, which offered a nice variety of options. Everything was delicious!

The food was DELICIOUS! Our waitress, Ashley was AMAZING! She trained and I hope the new waitress has the personal charm that came from Ashley. We wanted to come in here last year, waited an hour for them not to serve anyone. Have EARLY there this year and so glad we made it! In any case it is worth waiting because we ate GOOD!

Oh what fun! The authentic Cuban cuisine, the lively Mallory Square back drop at sunset and the salsa band and dancing was the perfect setting for this amazing and flavorful meal. Goodluck eating light... amusing visit experience!

So far, our waiter has been fantastic. This experience has been wonderful for the whole family. Jose really knows the menu well and has such a fun personality. It’s truly a memorable experience. The restaurant is steeped in history, filled with articles and relics that tell stories of Key West and Cuban culture. The food is undeniably traditional, showcasing all the best elements of authentic Cuban cuisine. We will definitely be back!
