I spent sometime growing up in Key West and El Siboney was a regular stop for my family. Classic Cuban food done right. The decor isn't anything special, but the food is delicious and I've always had good service. Plus, probably one of the best values in the lower keys.

Six of us went to dinner Sunday night. No problem getting a table, can be very crowded on Sat. nights. Varied menu with all the traditional Cuban standards. Portions are large, food tasty, service good. Beer and wine only. Prices very reasonable.

We visit this eatery each and every time we visit Key West. The food is excellent--and arrives quick. Prices for the Keys are "local" so you don't get taken for a ride here. Arrive early, as this place fills to capacity by 7:00 pm. Never miss a chance to eat here.

This was close to our hotel but in the middle of a residential neighborhood. It is a little hard to find but worth the effort. The red sangria was the best I had in years. They use a brandy in it that makes the difference. The prices are great for the quality of the food. I had the skirt steak... More

My wife and I went to El Siboney twice in the final two days we visited Key West. I only wish we would have went sooner! Wow...so delicious!

My husband was craving a cuban sandwich while we were in Key West. This place is a little off the beaten path, but we were so glad to find it! The food was fantastic, and the sangria was wonderful. We were quite surprised to find such low prices as well. It is well worth leaving Duvall and finding this place!

We were recommended this restaurant from the hotel we were staying in. We went there for lunch and had a wonderful Cuban sandwich. This is a busy and more local restaurant, and a good bang for the buck. The prices are substantially lower than what you would pay in the more tourist-oriented restaurants in Key West. Service was fine. Good... More

I already knew before I went to Key West that I wanted to find a good Cuban restaurant. I found a Great Cuban restaurant. It is off the beaten path and parking is not easy but it can be done and like everything in Key West the walk isn't bad. In fact after you eat the walk is good. We... More
