We stopped at Paradise Cafe for breakfast, and it was absolutely delicious. My wife and I each ordered a sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich, and we quickly realized we probably should have split one the portions are huge! Each sandwich also comes with a hash brown, which made for a hearty breakfast and a great value. Everything was fresh, hot, and exactly what we were looking for before a day of exploring Key West. One of the best parts was grabbing our food to go and enjoying it by the ocean. It turned a great breakfast into a perfect Key West morning. This definitely is a local favorite, and after our experience, it's easy to see why. We'll absolutely be back the next time we're in town read more

Paradise Cafe - Menu 5/28/2026 - Cuban Near Me - Key West, Florida

Okay, W O W. Like, and I cannot stress this enough, W O W. This place is smaller but has seating behind where you order, although we ordered to go. It did take about fifteen to twenty minutes, but I'd wait double that for how delicious everything was. My husband ordered a Cubano, and I the fish tacos and we split the plantains. Everything was seasoned and flavored perfectly, and so fresh. It's clear that someone knows what they're doing back in that kitchen because even the tortillas were delicious. Service was great. This place is well worth the stop in for a delicious lunch. read more

Very friendly staff. Clean inside and out. All the food was tasty and fresh. A little on the expensive side if not taking advantage of lunch specials. All the places have similar menus like Sandy's and Kim's Cuban, but this one seems to be on the more expensive side. read more

As some of you may know, I have been on a mission, for the last four years, to find the best street tacos in America. The al pastor tacos from Paradise Cafe are on par with the best Ive had anywhere.. Mexico included. The staff had great energy and the shaded dining area was perfect. Don't hesitate to give them a try. read more

Worst breakfast burrito I've ever had. Do not go here! The ratings are so high that I'm convinced they are AI generated or fake. It would be better to get airport food. read more

The Breakfast Burrito with their hot sauce is unbelievable! Highly recommended! Would come back. read more

I like this place! The cortadito (with sugar) is perf. Locals eat here; that's all I ever see eating here. I went at 12:15 PM and it was 7 locals and me (total). Not too busy during that time. The breakfast sandwich needs a little flavor assist which is why I add avocado to mine. Even so, maybe more bacon or more salt, maybe everything bagel seasoning? read more

Famished after a lengthy drive to Key West, we found this hole in the wall cafe for lunch. Street parkings were available around the cafe. While we waited for our order of Cuban Mix sandwich, steak quesadillas and tamarind Jarritos, we were greeted and entertained by couple cafe pet chickens. I preferred the Cuban Mix sandwich (4/5) over the steak quesadillas (3.5/5, slightly greasy but good flavor). Overall, not the best Cuban sandwich on the Florida Keys, but very solid food for Key West and price point seems reasonable for the more touristy areas. read more

Located in Key West with a very hole in the wall feel and a no nonsense Cuban/ Mexican spot. For Key West, the prices aren't bad but I'm not the biggest fan of social media spots, which this is apparently one of. Parking is only accessible with street parking on the nearby streets. We got the steak quesadilla at $14 and the Cuban mix sandwich at $12 and a tamarind Jarritos at $3. The quesadilla was slightly greasy but a fine meal if you're hungry. The Cuban was decent but not the best one I've had today on the Keys. Is this a decent hole in the wall spot for locals at a reasonable price for the main island? Yes. Will it blow your socks off? Probably not. read more

Such good food. Tacos, shrimp, steak, fajitas were All Amazing!!!! Highly recommend this little place. Seating in the back. Great service! read more

This place doesn't even know what I look like. I've been ordering from them through Uber for almost 6 months straight. Their croquettas are always on point. Their cafe con leche and cortaditos are always on point, with more coffee than milk. Every single thing I've had from here hits. They're a small place off of first st. I pass them often but haven't stopped in yet. The food is incredible though. read more

I have been going here several times a month. For several years now. It is always amazing and you are always greeted with a smile whether it's a dine in with their little tiki shack or a quick to go meal. The beef soup special is the ultimate hangover cure or perfect meal if you have a cold. The pastor quesadilla is literal perfection! The tacos are great but my go to in the morning is a wake up burrito but add a hash brown inside. Their coffee is always piping hot too and priced better than most everywhere else. I have yet to have anything from their menu I didn't like. read more

I loved this diner, BUT my group would have loved it more if there'd been an actual table in the tiki bar area. Yup, that's my group. Very pleasant servers, café con leche was perfect, ham egg and cheese sandwich was perfect, too. Owners, include a table vs just a plank and stool. We'll be back. Thanks! read more

This was a great place to stop for some quality food. The staff is friendly and helpful. The food is great & fresh The price was reasonable for the amount you got read more

I wish I took photos but had the fish and pastor tacos, they were DELICIOUS! Fish and chips were also very well seasoned. I got worried at first as it looked dry and there was no tar tar sauce but it was definitely worth eating! Only issue, they did not have beer even though it was on the menu and the veggie burrito had some chicken pieces and onions even though I asked for them to be removed. read more

My son-in-law had the Cuban mix he loved it. I had the chorizo breakfast sandwich very very good and huge for I think 5 bucks.

So good we ate here twice. Chile rellenos and breakfast platter were delicious. Service was on the leisurely side, but cute outdoor (covered) seating. Make sure to check it out!!! read more

Great place for Cuban food. Love the sandwiches and fresh coffee every morning. Must try

Delicious! Not too busy when I was in late afternoon, delightful staff. Excellent menu choices as well. Check out their online menu!

Amazingly fresh homemade breakfast ! Great coffee (Cafe con leche) Service was so friendly too. Lots of locals here and I can see why. I had the green tacos , They come with the best green sauce and pico I've had here. Husband had the American Breakfast and it's huge portions- sooo much bacon! He had a soda with his This place ran us $25 with a tip and it's so worth it! About a mile east of Duval , easy bike ride from our hotel. read more

My Gods, my favorite cafe con leche on the island! And the empanadas will send you straight into a mental paradise with that old school McDonald's-like hot pie crust some will remember. My Gods!! Lol Meh, parking's not always easy, the space itself is a bit rustic for some, and they do get fairly busy ...but they're sooo totally worth it. They're actually a pretty good family run business and you can taste their love for what they do in the food. Delicioso! read more

Simple, tasty and it's recommended that you order online before you get there. The folks at the window are friendly and helpful. There's some counter seating in front and some more picnic tables in back. The pork on the Cuban is some of the most flavorful I've found. read more

Super Impressed by Paradise Café. I have been going all around the island trying to find the best café con leche. And I found many great coffee places. But Paradise Café is the winner in this category, in my opinion. They serve Cuban/Mexican/Central American cuisine. It's seems to be a little bit of everything. I ordered the breakfast tacos. It consisted of black beans, queso, eggs, chorizo, and I can't remember what else. It was delicious, filling, and affordable. I love cheap eats! I also ordered a chicken empanada. The chicken was very flavorful and juicy. Yay! Like many places in Key West, you order at the window and take your food to go. There are a few seats outside, if you prefer to eat right there. I'll give it 5 stars. Good coffee, fair prices, wonderful breakfast. read more

We stopped by for lunch to take to the beach. I got a BLT and added avocado. Very generous with the bacon and a good sandwich. My husband got the fresh fish sandwich and really enjoyed that as well. My picky toddler ate a cheese quesadilla and some fries. They have a lot of options, good serving sizes, and decent prices. They do have a seating area in the back with bar style seating if you want to eat there. Would recommend if you're looking for lunch on the go. read more

My husband and I were out and wanting a mid day cup of coffee and so we utilized the 15 minute parking and stopped by! The coffee is DELICIOUS- we ordered a cafe con leche and a small iced coffee (yes to the sugar) strong, sweet, and creamy... the perfect coffee especially for $4! We also ordered a snack- a beef empanada and chicken one as well as a side of chips and guac. The guac was fresh and sour just enough lime and cilantro! The beef empanada was our favorite, well seasoned and fried up crispy! The service was friendly and food was made to order fresh, can't beat that! They had a backyard seating area that was shaded with fans plus the curbside parking... perfect place to stop in for a mid day pick-me-up! read more

Paradise Cafe is no doubt a local hole in the wall cafe. Found off the beaten path I was recommended this spot by a local TikTok page and the food was great and the prices were low. Next time tho I would want to try their breakfast tacos or burrito since they seem to be the most popular items on the menu. Service was quick and the coffee was strongest I've had in a while. No complaints and perfect for a busy day we had planned out on the water. read more
