Food
I came specifically to try what they call the Cuban Burger. From the menu: “a beef, pork, and chorizo patty seasoned with Spanish spices, topped with onion, frita sauce, and crispy julienne potatoes.” I added Manchego cheese to mine. We also ordered the beef and chicken empanadas and the street corn dip.
It took a while for the food to arrive, but everything came out fresh, flavorful, and hot.
The burger had an interesting texture, more like a sausage patty than a traditional hamburger. It was slightly drier than I would have preferred, but the flavor was good. I ended up using some of the street corn dip as extra sauce, which turned out to be a great combination.
The empanadas were a good size and nicely baked. The flavor was very good, though the filling leaned a bit dry for my taste.
The Street Corn Dip was very good. I not only ate with the supplied corn chips, but felt it was a good addition to my somewhat dry burger patty.
Service
There were only two servers covering the entire area. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Given the number of tables and limited staff, service felt a little spotty at times. That said, the servers didn’t appear rushed or stressed. It may have just required a more relaxed pace and adjusted expectations on our part.
Atmosphere
Most of the seating is outdoors. We sat in a courtyard with umbrellas providing shade. Our table was near a window air conditioning unit that ran throughout the meal, but after a while it faded into the background.
That day, two musicians were performing older ballads with guitars and a small drum set. It added a nice touch and created an enjoyable atmosphere.
Glad we stopped by. The burger was tasty and the live music was a pleasant surprise. For us, it was a good experience, though not necessarily a must-return spot.
Best Tacos Ever
And Damn That Burger Is
Something To Try
Super Friendly Too
This will be one of our go too’s for all of our next times.
The food… OMG! It’s off the hook (check out the pictures). I had their popular El Fuego Frita (perfect taste) and my wife had the Cuban, which was amazing. Their sangria was perfect and had mango and cinnamon (that was such a nice touch).
Anyway, if you are in Key West, you must check out this little gem! You won’t regret it!
