Key West Cuban Cowboy Cafe

Excellent beef empandas and ham & cheese empanadas here are excellent too but the coffee is even better.

Got the “Famous Cubano” and was excited to try this one in the side of a gas station. Since my last experience in FL at an expensive restaurant yielded the worst Cubano I’ve ever had, I figured this would be a good place to try next.

From the pictures it looked awesome and from the experience, it’s was equal! The bread was on point, buttered, crispy and chewy, the roast pork was juicy and tender. The ham was also good and there was a perfect amount of pickles and mustard with melty Swiss! All of the textures and flavors were balanced which was exactly what you want in a good Cubano! And you could taste the individual components as well! Fantastic sandwich!!

Great place to get authentic Cuban coffee.

This place serves up the best Cuban sandwich I’ve ever had, no question about it. The Cuban coffee is rich and flavorful, and the owner is incredibly friendly and knows his stuff, even offering us samples to help us decide. The sandwiches are big and filling, and the pastries we tried were just as tasty!

The experience was fine, I think I was expecting more based on the previous reviews. It is just better food than a normal gas station. The coffee was good, not great, personally a little too sweet for me. The food was better than gas station food but definitely not the best Cuban/key west food I’ve had. There are better hole in the wall places for good Cuban/key west food. The staff were very sweet and professional.

Kid-friendliness: It’s a gas station. Use discretion.

Goto for Cuban coffee

I recently had a Cuban breakfast at and it was a complete disappointment. The meal was horribly overpriced for what was served. The food itself was bland and unappetizing. The eggs were overcooked, the toast was stale, and the supposed "authentic" Cuban flavors were nowhere to be found. It was a joke of a meal and a waste of money. I do not recommend this place at all.

Loved this gem! It located in a gas station, but disregard that—get the cafe con leche and some empanadas. You won’t regret it!
