Very cool place...a house with a food truck basically...don't hesitate to stop in though as the burgers were tasty and the tostones were tasty with the dipping sauce! The staff was inviting and friendly...just a cool spot! read more

I'm a cuban sandwhich connoisseur. These are some of the best in Key West. The Cuban hamburger also rocks. If you come in September they may be closed as a lot of shops close for the month. read more

I'm always recommending Frita's to tourists in Key West because it's such a unique place. It's affordable, tasty, filling food that you will not come across anywhere else on the island. If you need to feel good about the place you're grabbing lunch, I also want to add something as a local that was super meaningful during the 3 months the islands were closed to outsiders. Frita's was one of the 1st to offer locals a free meal to us if we were in need because we'd all been laid off from our jobs and had no income. They did this for the duration of the shutdown. The owners have always been looking out for EVERYONE. They've also been making high quality, stylish, cloth face masks too (I can't tell you how many compliments I get on my masks from them). So make sure you add one to your order when you go there. And wear that mask in Key West until we get the "all clear" whenever that is. I can't recommend Frita's enough. read more

We came across this place while visiting Key West on our trip from Florida. From the outside it looks like a tiny shack and it could be way to miss. We sat inside and it is truly a small staff show as you seat yourself and they very casually get your order. It made me feel as though we were at someone's house (a good thing). As a family of four we ordered the Cubanito, Plantain Fries, Empanadas, and the. A Quesadilla off the kids menu. He food was all very good and the highlight was for sure the Cubanito. We also ordered four freshm lemonades but they also have a full bar for those interested. While we loved our experience one should know it is a rustic experience as you are seating in the open air (inside or out) and it is very laid back in terms of just saying what you want Nd they bring it out as it is done So very good food and very authentic homey feel. read more

Order the empanadas and they came out horrible. The dough was raw and the inside was cold. Understanding things happen in the restaurant industry I generally give everyone the benefit of the doubt, however the lady working the counter could not have been more rude and unprofessional. Check out the inside of the churros. The dough is not cooked. There are plenty of other places on the island with great customer service and much better Spanish food. read more

This place was recommended to us by our hotel's shuttle driver. We ordered a traditional Cuban sandwich, the pork tacos, and a burger. All good was amazing. I highly recommend the pork tacos. I had the sandwich and then tried my daughter's pork tacos and those were even tastier. Maybe not somewhere you would walk by and just stop at for food, but you should. It's worth walking off the beaten path for. read more

This place touts itself as a Cuban Burger place, but I was drawn in by the arepas, a Venezuelan specialty. This little storefront has a cute Frita Kahlo-inspired theme. After ordering, the guy then went right outside to the food truck parked in the adjacent space to cook it. Nice shady sitting area. Since I wasn't super hungry, I only ordered a cheese arepa. The arepa itself was tasty with bits of corn still visible. The queso fresco filling was a nice, simple complement but if I went again, I would have ordered lots more fillings. It came with a side of a half cob of roasted corn sprinkled with cheese and seasonings - yum. While this review is only for a small sample of their menu - I wanted to write it up to get Frita's on the Yelp radar. They appear to be a brand new place and look to be positioning themselves as a coffee shop as well as a casual burger option. Definitely a better alternative than the overpriced fried food and/or fast food on nearby Duval St. The menu also includes a variety of Cuban cheese toasts, churros, Cuban burgers (beef and pork patty with seasoning), cubano sandwiches, flatbread pizza, and some interesting sides (yucca fries, tostones) Give them a try! read more

I got the rice and beans. They were very happy to accommodate me being vegan. They even added a tostón to replace the cheese and egg. It was filling and delicious. Cost me $8.55 total. read more

On my last day in Key West I was in search of a Cuban sandwich. Yelp led me to Frita's and if I would've blinked then I would've missed it. Frita's is a small shack on Southard St in Key West. It has an open window facing the street that allows for quick orders, a very small amount of seating inside, and a limited amount of seating on a patio area. They specialize in Latin street food with an emphasis in Cuban food. Perfect. The food ranges from salads to quesadillas, tacos, sandwiches, and burgers. They also have a breakfast selection. Most of the food is purchased a la cart with sides being additional. Sides include tostonaes, yuca fries, regular fries, and more. The Cuban sandwich was awesome. The roasted pork was flavorful, the cheese melted, and the bread perfectly pressed. It was exactly what I was looking for. My friend had white fish tacos and she really liked them. Frita's has a variety of drinks available. I had the lemonade and my friend had a watermelon juice and lemonade mix. Both were awesome. This place is a totally worth a try if you're looking for a great lunch or breakfast spot! read more

Amazing! The best meal I had in key west- the Cuban and homemade fries were incredible, the food came fast and was super fresh!

Delicious food!!! Everyone in the group enjoyed their meal. Would 100% recommend and would return again.

Very good sandwiches. Must try the elote corn. I wish I had tried more variety of food after my meal!

Ordered the Cuban chicken tacos...one word excellent! Great flavor with moisture and tang to the meat topped with mango. Awesome flavor! read more

Frita's - Cuban chicken tacos - Cuban Near Me - Key West, Florida

Holy cow. Please, if you do nothing else while in Key West, eat here. I mean, the best and friendliest service. We got a Cuban (oh my wow) it was delicious. It was basically a panini and so good. We also got a fish Rueben which sounds weird but was also insane. The rice and beans were simple but perfectly prepared, the ginger beer was some of the best I've had, the mini key lime pie was the best after dinner treat. All in all, go here. You won't be disappointed! Update: 8 months later...I will eat here every single time I walk past. I love it so much. read more

Cool small spot to get some yummy treats. I've only had a frita a couple of times in tampa, so not a lot of reference points, but just in general the one here is good. Nicely cooked and good flavor. One thing I liked better about the frita here is the fried potatoes are thread thin rather than match sticks. Which gave it extra texture and crunch. The bread/bun was a perfect complement and did a good job soaking the juices without falling apart. Important! They had sweet potato and ham croquettes as a special the day we were there. GET THESE if they have them! yummy and different. Beer selection is minimal, but not the end of the world there. Friendly but very limited seating so get it to go and go find a bench to enjoy things. read more

Came here with my husband, sister and her husband. We all had the Cuban sandwiches. Henry was our waiter. He was fantastic personable and very friendly. The Cuban sandwiches were traditional and absolutely delicious. Don't miss it. read more

I hardly ever give out 5s.... Most places only end up ranking 3s or so with me. From the first bite they had me. The Cuban Wreck sandwich was just utterly amazing! The flavor just boomed in my mouth! The fried texture of the pork, the perfect tang of the sauce, the pillowy softness of the bun just came together in perfect harmony. Each bite of that sandwich was an oral orgasm, and when I was done, my fingers were covered in juice. But I wasn't done. I craved more yummyness, so we also got pork tacos, Cubanito and the Cuban Bahn Mi. Everything was just absolutely out of this world! We were pleasantly stuffed. I urge you to go, you can thank me later. I plan on making the trek here again from Seattle just for the Cuban Wreck! The staff were great, friendly and patient while we tried to work our way through wonderful menu. They offered great suggestions and were key to making sure we had a great dinner. It was like going to a friend's for dinner. The restaurant is like hanging out in a living room. I truly wish more restaurants were like this! read more

Stopped here during my recent trip to Key West. We got there jsut a few minutes before closing time adn the fryer was broken - so some menu items werent available. i ended up trying the Frita which was good. Thej place is tiny, there is one table inside and maybe two outside. The "kitchen" is actually a food truck trailer - pretty intersting concept. I liked it, i didnt love it but i would like to come bakc for a true experience. I feel like i dint really get the whole experience. read more

Excellent food. Restaurant was under construction when we were there. Outside seating only at the time but the food made up for it

Not disappointed, traditional Cuban sandwiches are spot on and staff is very friendly. Great little island vibe and friendly staff.

When you're Hispanic you tend to be a bit picky about Latin food spots. Nothing ever tastes better than your mom's cooking. So with that said we stopped in for a quick bite and we left with a full belly and a huge smile on our face. We had the original frita, arepa and roasted corn. They were delicious. The corn was amazing to tell you the truth. The arepa had beans and pork on top and was also really good. The beans were ok but the pork made up for it. Frita was seasoned perfectly. The staff is super friendly and inviting. Oh and did I mention the music was GREAT. Awesome spot to grab a no fuss meal. Decor adds to the overall vibe. read more

Overpriced food in my humble opinion. The food in the photos are nothing like real life. We ordered the Cuban burger with a fried egg and to be perfectly honest a McDonalds happy meal would of taste better. The place is was very run down and unkept to a basic standard of cleanliness - the seat cushions smelt of urine and were disgustingly stained, the fries were swimming in fatty oils. Not a good choice! read more

We are huge foodies so we had been on the hunt for a proper fritas burger after seeing videos of them being made all of the internet. We ate here our last night in Key West and it was absolutely perfect. We both had the fritas burger and we also got the yucca fries and I was OBSESSED. I honestly didn't even understand what it was until after I ate them and researched them but I did not care in the slightest and inhaled the whole order to myself. I am currently on the project of attempting to recreate this recipe myself back home in Texas. Stay tuned. read more

10 seconds from Duval street. Staffs are so friendly! Foods are super authentic! My first Cuban food! So good! Try The Bucci Bomb for your drink! Put espresso into your beer I forgot to take a pic but my friend ordered cuban burger with egg! That was also delicious!!! read more

In the little touristy town of Key West there are many choices for dining...So why Frita's...well why not. its a cute little place, devoid of the loud music and liquor of much of the main street attractions, Frita's reminded me of that hidden side street cafe frequented by locals. Its colorful and eclectic with tables made from bongos and beautiful prints and paintings adorning the walls...its just the kind of place that diners can just relax and enjoy their meal alone or with their friends. The host was very gracious and really sweet..not pomp or circumstance, she was just direct, quick and funny, like your favorite aunt. My husband and I dined on Fish tacos and the traditional Cuban and adobe roasted corn, washed down by homemade freshly squeezed lemonade and German made grapefruit beer. The beer was AMAZING!! It was sweet and grapefruity and oh so refreshing. The lemonade was not your Southern grandma diabetic lemonade, much to my husbands ire. It was good, just not sweet enough for him! The fish tacos was bountiful, with large firm pieces of white fish adorned with cabbage and mango and pineapples. I would've liked the fish to be seasoned more or at all, but it was still very good and very filling. The Cuban was meaty, but not too meaty with good flavor. The roasted corn was much to be desired. Not so much because of flavor, but because the corn was old and had tiny kernels and well, quite frankly should've never been served. The flavors of the corn was amazing. The butter and spiced melded well together, but the age and quality of the corn really took away from the experience. If your looking for a place that gives you the glimpse of normal retired Key West life, Frita's is the place to go. Service is fast and the food for the most part was flavorful. read more
