I’m not a big sea food, but I could eat these tuna tacos every single day of my life! The cook is a magician on the grill.

Absolutely amazing she crab soup and perfectly seared tuna tacos. What a find! It’s cash only but there is a bank right next door. This place is a must try!

It is an old run-down hole in the wall. It's got a single half deaf old hippie running the whole thing front of the house and back of the house.

There's no air conditioning just fans, and they don't take credit cards cash only.

With that being said if you skip this place you're a fool.

I had the soup and the Cobra cheesesteak. The soup came out in a paper bowl with a plastic spoon and every single bite was an explosion of absolute delectable flavor. I could eat an entire pot of that soup by itself easily.

The Cheesesteak was beautifully cooked and absolutely packed full of fresh ingredients in some sort of delicious sauce.

If you're looking for ritzy fine dining this is not the place. If you're looking for excellently prepared food at a reasonable cost and you're okay with running to the ATM first you will be absolutely thrilled by every bite you take here.

( there's a bank next door with an ATM by the way)

I’m a foodie and this was the best fish taco of my life. Generous portions of sushi grade fish with great seasoning cooked to perfection. Quirky decor was the icing on the cake!

Todd is a culinary genius! We stopped here for lunch. Shared she crab soup and Wahoo sandwich. So amazingly fresh and delicious. Todd couldn’t have been friendlier. Cash only so bring your greenbacks but do not skip way to or from key west!

Love the she crab soup and my fish sandwich (Filet Oh Wish), made from fresh catch. My dog Marshall got to enjoy the food as well since it was a generous filet. One of my new favorite places now!

Best meal in the Keys ever! We had the she crab soup, mahi tacos, mahi reuben, and a philly cheese steak. If you have not tried this place you are missing out. 100% hands down great food and generous portions from a hole in the wall gem!

Very good food in a relaxed environment. The She- crab soup is a must have. Philly cheesesteak and Plus fish sandwich are excellent as well. Will definitely come back to try the rest of this hidden gem’s menu. Cash-only . You will not be disappointed.

We came for the fresh fish and previous reviews raving about the quality of the food. The portions are good sizes, but the rest is lacking. There are better options in the area. Cash only.

We’re down here for family vacation and stopped in to Calypso’s last night. It’s a tiny little place that doesn’t look much like a restaurant from the parking lot. Easily the best meal I had while we were here on vacation. I had the tuna tacos - perfectly balanced, fresh and a generous portion of fish. We also shared some she crab soup and some others had the seahorse sandwich. My mother in law had the hogfish tacos and loved them. Order the lemonade! Everything was made fresh to order. Bring cash, no cards accepted but we knew that ahead of time. Will be back again!

Holy crap was this good. We didn’t even have the soup and I was blown away. I would pick this as my last meal. Todd is amazing and should be put on a pedestal.

More than 10years ago i visited calypsos and enjoyed the best food in the keys.
As i was coming to the keys again i wanted to recapture this incredible taste and atmosphere, i was delighted to see that the restaurant was still open, even if the location changed the owner/cook didn’t and the incredible food stayed the same !
We eat delicious crab soup and shrimp tacos and last but not least the authentic key lime pie
The price is almost too low for this quality !

Big thanks for the great meal ❤️❤️ hope next time i visit you’ll still be rocking it 😉
