El Meson De Pepe's Restaurant & Bar

This place is a lot of fun. The food is packed with flavor, especially the Cuban dishes, and the portions are super generous. The atmosphere is lively and full of energy, with music and a laid-back feel that makes you want to hang out for a while. It’s a great spot to enjoy a good meal, a few drinks, and really take in the Key West vibe.

A great spot to unwind with their signature mojito, dance the night away to salsa, or enjoy some delicious Cuban cuisine. It’s the perfect place to bring a group and soak up the vibrant atmosphere.

I highly recommend the sampler platter — it includes three classic Cuban meats: lechón, ropa vieja, and picadillo. It’s my favorite dish on the menu and a great way to try a bit of everything.

And don’t forget to try their mojito — always refreshing, delicious, and just the right amount of kick.

Great Cuban food and drinks! Los Nachos Cubanos were my favorite!

Went there one week and everything was perfect. Went back 2 weeks later and it seemed like a completely different restaurant. Excellent the first time. Horrible the next. I shall not return.

We ate at this restaurant today and the food and service was terrible. The vaca frita seemed old and not fresh. I was told that it was made in the morning and all they did was reheat it. The ropa vieja was flavorless and same thing seemed reheated. Not fresh!!! We have been to this restaurants under prior management and it was amazing. Thats the reason we decides to go today. Will NOT be returning. Im a Cuban from Miami and i do know my food. This was a HUGE disappointment. The server that placed the water didnt even acknowledge us nor said hello when we engaged her. They all seemed to have a bit of an attitude and not very good disposition in dealing with the public. In addition, portions have become smaller and it pricey for what it was. Definitely would NOT recommend!!!

At first I was skeptical because of the previous ratings BUT we ordered the # 69 and the relleno appetizer with our mojitos and let me tell you it was delicious. The pork was tender and marinated just right. The mojitos were strong and minty. The server was super friendly and helpful! The ambiance was very authentic inside the restaurant and out.

Very good Atmosphare & friendly staff. The cuban dishes were very tasty. Lechon & Lime Pie. Cocktails are delicious.

We love it here, we were recommended Pepe’s on our first trip to Key West. Can’t wait to get back. Fabulous food and friendly staff. It’s a must for anyone staying locally.

Super highly recommended, Charlie served us, he was super friendly and attentive to everything, the super exquisite food transported him to Cuba, I would definitely repeat it.

This is a nice looking place. That’s about the only positive thing I can say. The food was salty, the waitress was rude and obnoxious with very little desire to be of service. And the Mojitos, although they are supposedly “ award winning” were sooo bitter and made with mint not traditionally made with Yerba buena. The prices were ok. But keep your eye out on the bill. They automatically add the tip, regardless of the service you receive. This particular waitress did not deserve a dime. But I did not pay. So 2 stars for the actual place taking everything else into consideration.

A lovely evening around good food and amazing atmosphere with the band
