Chaotic in the morning but really tasty food. The ambience is ok Outdoors nice but it's hot when it's hot out there. Fresh oj is fresh squeezed but not cheap. But very delicious. Loved the Cuban bread and home fries. But honestly this was nothing special beyond the Cuban cafe Would def go back but not expecting anything more than a good breakfast in a mediocre location. We had a basic breakfast with Cuban toast -- delicious-- and Cuban coffee here. read more

On our return trip from Key West Tripadvisor let us hear for Cuban cuisine and we were not disappointed. Ample parking, a warm greeting and outstanding breakfast burritos, smoothies, and the perfect bowl of grits. Many wonderful choices for breakfast and lunch and everyone here has a smile on their face. Our server, Jeidy, checked on a several times, & made sure we had everything we needed for a delicious meal, including hot sauce. We highly recommend just a Paradise Cuban Restaurant! read more

This place is amazing!! We road our bikes to Paradise several times during our visit to Marathon. Hayley's homemade bread comes out hot and fresh. Absolutely authentic Cuban coffee! The home potatoes are where it's at. And the proof is all the sweet and friendly Cuban grandmas who start their day, every morning on the patio. Oh! And don't miss the homemade ham and cheese empanadas. (My mouth is watering, remembering them.) The staff was so friendly and engaging - clearly proud of their incredible food. Well done, Paradise! read more

Breakfast was wonderful. Sitting outside we got serenaded by birds. Mom and pop place. Richelle loved her Cuban Breakfast and dad loved his Cuban omelette. Both said the bread was fantastic, and the Cuban coffee was what they need to start their day. I had a Cuban frappe. Make sure to check out the tables inside, they have helpful translations between Cuban, Spanish and English.

Absolute MUST! We had a GIANT Cuban sandwich that was packed with flavor and perfectly pressed. The deli counter had a combo meal, so I grabbed the chicken with seasoned rice and boiled yucca--total comfort food done right. The Cuban coffee was bold and smooth, a must-have. We couldn't decide between the conch chowder or lobster bisque, so we got both--and they made them fresh for us on the spot! Everything was rich, fresh, and absolutely delicious. 10/10 would come back in a heartbeat! read more

Very cute locale with great food and service. I had the guarapo, ham and cheese pizza, and the tostada. The guarapo was very good and actually pretty close to what it tastes like in Cuba. The pizza was also very good, it had nice crispy edges that reminded me of actual Cuban pizza and was overall pretty close to the original. The tostada, Cuban bread pressed with a lot of butter, was so delicious that I was thinking of getting more. read more

On June 17th I was at the Juice Paradaise Restaurant in Marathon at lunch time and ordered a Fish Sandwich (Minute) and it really wasn't even half fish, it was just bread, an immense amount of lettuce and tomato. Every time I pass by work on my way to Key West I go there for lunch but the quality has greatly decreased at this establishment. The service was slow because there was only one waitress for the entire place and the cook. The place was empty when we arrived and then two more customers arrived. The price seemed exaggerated to me for such poor quality in the product offered, although I left a tip out of politeness but in reality it wasn't worth it considering the time I had to wait and the slow service received, thank you very much Marcos Louit read more

This place is great. You can find all these fancy places made to cater to tourist, fancy dishes or over embellished plates. It gets old.

The service was excellent and you can tell the food is made with lots of love. Also the frozen fruit drinks that they make are amazing too, they are made with fresh fruit and you can definitely tell.

Ordered a steak quesadilla and there was no peppers or onions, just cheese and steak. The tortilla wasn't even toasted enough for the cheese to melt in the middle. Also ordered a Cuban sandwich and the pork wasn't even hot! I had to microwave it when I got back to the hotel. Awful! Never going back. read more

I've only been here a couple times this week and a few times a couple years ago, and my only mission was a cup of coffee. I am completely hooked on Cuban coffee and unfortunately can't get it in New York. I mean then again I haven't really looked too hard but still, it's not just on the corner down the road. The staff always seems friendly and I have never had any problems or difficulties here. I read all the reviews that save these people sometimes include gratuities with the price they charge you however I can't say anything about that because honestly I wasn't really paying attention. They set the coffee down, I put down $5 and we're good. I'm assuming it covers the cost because the brute squad has yet to kick my butt in the parking lot. read more

Walking up to it, you feel that history. The exterior, the gravel lot, the signage--it's pure roadside Keys. Inside, it leans into that "local bar meets tourist stop" vibe: long wooden bar, TVs, stickers everywhere, taps lined up. Then you open the menu and it pivots in every direction--New England chowder house, BBQ joint, burger shack, seafood spot. It's not clear what it wants to be, and that lack of focus carries straight through to the food. We started with both chowders. The clam chowder looks right at first glance, but the texture tells you everything--thick, almost gluey, clearly roux-heavy. The flavor leans aggressively fatty, closer to margarine than butter, with very little clam presence. No briny backbone, no pepper, no lift. We ended up dumping in black pepper and hot sauce just to make it remotely acceptable--but even then, that heavy fat note kept pushing through. Nothing about it reads as New England. The conch chowder fares a bit better. You can actually see a decent amount of conch, and there's a peppery edge that helps. But the broth is thin and lacks the chunky, stewed tomato depth you expect from a proper Keys-style conch chowder. After having it done right earlier at Key Largo Fisheries, the difference was obvious. Then there are the Texas Twinkies--and the photo really says it all. On paper, this should work: jalapeños wrapped in bacon, stuffed with brisket, pulled pork, cheeses, and sauce. In execution, it's just too much. Too much cream cheese, too many competing sauces, meats chopped into a soft, indistinct filling. It collapses into a heavy, muddy bite that feels more overwhelming than satisfying. Looking back at the menu, the simpler move--burger, ribs, even wings--probably would have been the right call. Instead, we ordered straight into the identity crisis. And that theory held up. We went back and grabbed a burger later--cooked a proper medium rare, with well-done, crispy fries--and it was easily the best thing we had from them. I wanted to like Herbie's. There's history, personality, and clearly a loyal following. But between the confused concept and uneven execution, the move here is simple: stick to the basics.
