I used to go here every morning on my way to work at Oceanside Marina. The Special Breakfast cannot be beat for the price. As a degenerate in my early 20s, my standard operating procedure was to power my way through the day on 2 hours of sleep. My go-to menu item at El Mocho was 2 coladas. Yes, I would drink 2 coladas to the head and then go to work. If I had more time/money, I would stay for breakfast. The aforementioned breakfast deal was only $2.25 back in the early aughts. I just checked out the current menu, and that same breakfast today is still only $4.85 and everything else on the menu looks very reasonable in the Current Year. I hope that one day I can make it back down there to once more have breakfast and a con leche (no more coladas for me lol).

A popular local spot, some of the patrons seem to be there almost daily. Prices were more than fair, portions adequate, and REALLY good Cuban coffee. A good time, fast, and super friendly.

Can't recommend this place highly enough to any Brits on the Keys trail. Authentic Cuban cuisine with great service. Pork chops a-ma-zing!

We enjoyed breakfast at El Mocho recently. The coffee was sooo good. Hope to visit again someday.

I am just doing this so they can get on their game and avoid any future lawsuits - raw chicken while I was the only client there. They need to take their time to make sure food is fully cooked - service was ok and really apologetic but seems it was not the first time they go through it. they resend my order and the only reason I stay was because I was starving after a 6 hours drive. I am not trying to hurt anyone feelings or mess their business but feels like food quality control is the must important item for aRestaurant. Waiter offer 20% off which I added forThe tip as its not about the money is about the principal. By the way the queso frito was pretty good.
