Key West is famously only 90 miles from Cuba, and the two islands share more than just geographical proximity.

Traditional Cuban cuisine is a blend of Spanish, African, and Caribbean influences — slow-braised meats, citrus marinades, rice and beans, and plantains. At El Mesón de Pepe, we've been preserving these flavors at Mallory Square since 1986. Learn more about Cuban cuisine in Key West and explore our menu.
