I've had great, good, decent, and imitation Hispanic food, and this place falls somewhere in the…read more"decent" category. It's a good alternative to the local cuisine, which mostly consists of conch and key lime pie. Being originally from California made it tough for me to give this place a 5-star rating. Both of our dishes were absolutely drowning in cheese sauce. The salsa verde grilled beef burrito had potential but could've been better, and the Mexican lasagna was interesting but also left room for improvement. The banana enchilada, however, was a nice twist. The hint of caramel from the brown sugar worked well -- not overwhelmingly sweet, with a crunchy texture that made it enjoyable. Overall, it's a good change of pace if you're looking for something other than seafood or Cuban cuisine.

Garbo's Grill

Can't come to Key West without stopping in to get some of the best tacos on the island at Garbo's…read more It's always just been a food truck but they now have a small patio seating area next to Hanks Hair of the Dog bar. We got one order of the Cayo fish tacos to share. Each order comes with two tacos. We chose a bench in the shade on the patio where some chickens were wandering around picking up bits of food dropped by the patrons. It was fun to watch them run in a group when one spotted something had fallen. Our tacos were ready quickly and after the first bite we immediately regretted not getting a table because they are a bit messy with all the delicious toppings. Oh well! I persevered and used a napkin to soak up the juice and the chickens took care of of the rest. I will never miss an opportunity to visit Garbo's when in Key West.

I am giving Garbo's Grills four stars overall. The food was solid and tasty, and it hit the spot…read morefor what I was craving. While it was enjoyable, nothing really stood out as extraordinary or memorable. The menu had a good variety, and the service was friendly enough, making it a comfortable place to stop for a casual meal. The atmosphere was straightforward and unpretentious, which made it easy to enjoy a quick bite without any fuss. Portions were reasonable, and prices were fair for the quality of food. Overall, it is a dependable spot for a casual meal when you are nearby, even if it does not leave a lasting impression. It is worth visiting if you are in the area and looking for something simple and satisfying.

The fries come out made to order and be forewarned they are HOT. They come with ketchup packets but the flavor is so good you don't need anything else. My son ate his quesadilla but as expected, got full (hence why this mother knew not to order any food for herself). I had the last piece of chicken quesadilla with the accompanying guacamole that had a perfect blend of tomato, onion and avocado. My dulce con leche coffee was also pretty good but not the best I've had though I'd recommend if you're in the mood for coffee. Easily a hole in the wall you'd miss if not looking for it and glad we stopped in. $30 for a chicken quesadilla, fries and coffee seems a bit steep but I guess it's to be expected in Key West

The flavor was excellent and the chicken very, very tender. I also ordered the Chile Releno because that's what I do. I went with only cheese. They do have a steak and cheese option. It was extra large and packed. The egg batter was thick. Lots of city workers and locals chilling out. All were very happy. The music plays and laughter filled the air. The staff is excellent, a little erratic on speaking English or not. The server was very attentive. I stumbled into El Molcajete on the walk back from fishing all morning. I was unable to finish it all and will have leftovers later. I'm glad I dropped on and will be back.

I ordered a steak taco. I was the only customer. Took about 10 minutes or so for my order. To be honest, it wasn't very spicy at all, not even tasty. The price was just shy of $18 which I thought was steep. You can buy a taco off a truck in Chicago for less than that, and it would be very good. I can't really recommend this place.
