El Meson De Pepe's Restaurant Bar

I absolutely loved Tomas/Thomas, the bartender outside! He was incredibly friendly and crafted the best mudslides and dirty bananas I’ve ever had. He even shared his special recipe with us. I would rate him a perfect 10/10; whatever he's mixing up is definitely worth trying! He’s extremely talented and has an impressive background in mixology. It’s like he’s a scientist when it comes to drinks!

The restaurant offers a delicious and extensive selection of both Cuban and traditional American dishes. It's very kid-friendly, and everything we tried was great!

Always a pleasure. Relaxed atmosphere. Jistoric architecture. Dining room. Outdoor bar. Live music. 90 miles from Cuba so you know the food is authentic. Some of the best in Key West.

The food was outstanding and the service was excellent. This has become our favorite spot in Key West. The only downside is the cigarette and cigar smoke coming from the bar. Fast forward five years: we were a party of six this time, and our waiter was both funny and attentive. I ordered the pargo (flash-fried snapper), and it was absolutely perfect. Every dish at our table was top-notch. This place is a must-visit on every trip to Key West.

We were here during a Key West visit over 20 years ago and when we got back we knew that we would be eating here again. Today's lunch did not disappoint. Fabulous food, great service, friendly people. We'll probably have lunch here every day during our stay.
