2. El Siboney

the best
The food is the best on the island.

Undoubtedly THE major and best reason to eat in Key West at all. Probably the best food in ALL our travels. And the other patrons were LOCALS so you figure out how fabulous it was!!

My mothers entire side of the family are conch's (not only a shell but also what natives born and raised are called) Say a 5 day vacation 5-6 meals are spent eating in or out from El Siboney. Ropa Veija and the pulled pork are the best on the island. I can't stop eating their cuban mix. (sandwich)Although not a big fan of it breaded the breaded palimia is the best around! Just don't forget the black beans and yellow rice and an extra order of sweet plantains. Wish they had fresh conch salad!

I winter in KW with my wife and always bring visitors to Siboney. Everyone always agree that it is thee best eating experience in KW and the best Cuban food. I am nuts for it. Especially when I have to wait and have couple of beer outside while waiting and shoot the breeze w the locals and newcomers outside and then see all enjoying themselves inside. Siboney by the way were a tribe of Indians in Cuba. A great food and fun experience . My wife is tired of hearing me tell everyone I meet how great it is.....
