The restaurant is tucked away on a back street, far from the usual tourist spots, which adds to its charm. The food is authentic Cuban cuisine -- and I say that after decades of living in and around Hudson County, NJ, where the Cuban community is large and vibrant. At El Siboney, everything tastes fresh and homemade, with generous portions and prices that are refreshingly reasonable for Key West. This visit, I ordered the whole fried yellow snapper, served with yuca, yellow rice, and beans. My dinner companion had the Siboney skirt steak, one of the restaurant's popular dishes, served with a choice of sides. Both meals were excellent. Dessert was equally impressive: a delicious slice of tres leches cake and silky vanilla custard that were the perfect ending to the meal. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience. Dinner for two, including dessert and tip, came to about $100 -- a great value for the quality and quantity of food. El Siboney remains one of my favorite places to eat in Key West.

What made the experience even better was the hospitality. The owner, Kenia, came out to visit with us and made us feel genuinely welcome. Our server, Claudia, was an absolute delight, friendly, attentive, and full of positive energy. The food and service were so good that we ate breakfast here twice during our vacation, and we're coming back for dinner tonight. That's probably the best recommendation we can give!

Gabriela took great care of us (we went there THREE times while in Key West - once for dinner, twice for coffee and key lime pie!!). SOOOO good! Hubs had the beef tacos in corn tortillas with black beans and rice and salsa verde and pronounced it all delicious! (I tried the black beans and rice and loved it!). I had a chicken empanada which was great but I loved the arepa stuffed with shredded chicken the best - fabulous with their homemade salsa verde (I would put that on everything!!!). Let me tell you about that ginger mimosa - amazing! They make their own ginger syrup and I loved that it had a little ginger bite and was not overly sweet. While everyone CLAIMS to have "authentic" key lime pie, this one won our vote - no toxic green color and a smooth creamy tangy custard. And not cool whip either. Yum!

So we started looking for something nearby and came across this place. It's not a traditional restaurant -- they've basically turned the porch into a seating area. You order at the counter and wait for them to bring your food. There's also a small general store right on the porch. We placed our order, and it took a little while for them to prepare everything. The fried banana was really good. My sandwich, though, was pretty boring.

My husband ordered the ham, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich, and it was absolutely amazing. We split it but the first thing we noticed it was huge. The sandwich was served on Cuban bread that they bake fresh themselves, and it was some of the best bread I've ever had; light, flaky, perfectly golden brown, and incredibly fresh. Every ingredient tasted fresh and homemade, including real eggs cooked to order, not the processed "fake" eggs you find in so many places. Be sure to save room for one of their homemade pastries. Like the bread, everything is baked in-house, and you can taste the care that goes into every bite. The coffee was equally impressive; rich, smooth, and full of flavor. It paired perfectly with breakfast and kept me coming back for more. What really sets LJ's Café apart, though, is the atmosphere. This is a true mom-and-pop establishment where family and friends work together. From the moment you walk into the small storefront, you're welcomed like family. The service is warm, genuine, and makes you feel right at home. And here's an added bonus for Florida travelers: the air conditioning is fantastic! After visiting several places in Marathon, we definitely appreciated being able to enjoy our meal in a cool, comfortable environment. I can't rave enough about this wonderful spot. If you're passing through Marathon, make sure your schedule allows for breakfast or lunch because those are the only hours they're open. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

Both were fab and more than enough. With a bag of chips a single sandwich is an easy lunch for two. Clientele seemed to be a mix of locals and tourists. The family who runs it was very friendly. Service was fantastic. If you want a more hearty meal they have a daily special that includes two or three meat options, rice, beans, etc. not exactly diet food, but you won't go hungry. Seating was limited but they have tables outside as well. No one was left standing. I loved it and would return again.

The first time was during their grand opening week late last year (4Q2025), in which the service and food were amazingly fantastic! Unfortunately, last night was disappointing. The food quality was lacking (salty, not hot, and seemingly not fresh) and the service was not exceptional particularly since there were only two additional tables besides ours being served indoors. Attention to detail, like filling water glasses and clearing plates without the guest having to ask would be a great start. Also a friendly, welcoming service team would make all the difference in the world when the food is below average. Going out to dinner these days truly is a luxury. The prices are high and the servings are much smaller than they used to be. A consideration for El Siboney Overseas is to compensate the higher prices with phenomenal, undeniable food and service...especially, when it's obviously slow due to it currently being the "off season" in the Florida Keyes. Sadly, after last night's experience, we're not planning on returning to El Siboney Overseas.
