Paradise Cuban Restaurant truly lives up to its name! The food was absolutely amazing—bursting with authentic flavors and cooked to perfection. From the tender, flavorful meats to the perfectly seasoned sides, every bite was a delight. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a cozy meal with friends or family. I can’t wait to come back and try more dishes. Highly recommend!

The coffee was delicious a 4 oz was perfect size for me. I had the shredded pork with rice/beans and salad. All fresh very hot and plenty of food for me to eat a second leftover meal. A perfect little casual lunch or dinner spot good prices too. We will definitely stop by again during our stay. Thank you.

This was an excellent place to stop for lunch. The food is authentic and delicious. We got the cuban sandwich, fried cassava, and cafe coladas. I also picked up a piece of flan to go. All of these options get a 5 out of 5 from me!

A hidden gem, so glad we found it. A place to get some good food that will not break the bank. The guava cream cheese empanadas were AMAZING! We tried the Cuban hamburger which was good, and the midnight sandwich which was good as well. Ordered 1/2 gallon of guava juice as well. It was yummy.

3/11/25—Our guests arrived at our vacation rental, all in awe of the beautiful house and the stunning view. You know it's a good spot when people walk in, stop talking, and just start taking pictures! We all decided to drive to Key West and spend the day there. It’s about an hour and a half—give or take, depending on how many times you stop to admire the endless ocean views (or how many tourists forget how to drive on US-1). On the way, my husband decided to have a light breakfast and found a restaurant through a quick Google search. We parked on a side street, though there was parking out front as well. As we walked in, two ladies were already busy serving a family, and I noticed a police officer eating outside—always a good sign when the local cops are regulars. They had outdoor seating, but my husband chose to sit inside. We ordered something small since neither of us was really hungry, but he needed to take his chemo prescription with food. That was the main reason for the stop—otherwise, we would have just powered through until lunch with our guests. My tostadas and croquetas were delicious, crispy in all the right ways, and the coffee? Absolutely perfect. The size, the strength—just right. It had the kind of kick that makes you sit up a little straighter and start planning all the fun (or chaos) the rest of the day might bring.

I’m in Key West for the next two weeks and growing up in Miami I really want to go to Little Havana to have some authentic Cuban food. But I did not want to make a drive all the way to Miami so this little restaurant hit the spot. The food was fresh full of taste, the guarapo was refreshing., and the ladies inside were beyond welcoming.
