Fodor's Review:

Dining at this family-style restaurant is like going to Mom's for Sunday dinner—if your mother is Cuban. The dining room is noisy, and the food is traditional cubano. There's a well-seasoned black bean soup, a memorable paella, and local fish served grilled, stuffed, and breaded. Dishes come with plantains, bread, and two sides. To make a good thing even better, the prices are very reasonable.

El Siboney is the place to be for authentic Cuban food. We had garlic roasted chicken, which is crispy and flavorful, and skirt steak, which is very juicy. All meals come with black beans and yellow rice. Gigantic portion for only around $10. We also had homemade sangria because everybody else was having it. Best sangria I ever had.

Service was very average, probably because the restaurant is so busy all the time. Local and tourists flock there for dinner, and order a variaty of entrees that are all very good. You definitely need to check this place out.

Last in Key West in January this year. Ate there twice for lunch - simply great, but I would avoid the fish as it was a bit dry - Cuban food was simply delicious
