Today is Cinco de Mayo, so let’s celebrate with some of my favorite fare, Mexican food! Tacos, burritos, quesadillas, oh my! I love it all! Many restaurants on the island of Key West have Mexican inspired dishes. But, there are only a handful of Mexican restaurants. Below is a list of those to choose from.
Taco Express – Corner of Cross St. And, Suncrest Rd.
Open Monday through Friday from 6am until 7pm and Saturday from 7am until 5pm, this little food truck serves up salads, combination platters, tacos, quesadillas, burritos, tostadas, and sandwiches. It is difficult to park here, but they do offer delivery.
Chico’s Cantina – 5230 US Hwy 1.
Inside and patio dining available at this locals favorite. They serve up all types of traditional Mexican fare with a few gringo specials. While they do serve margaritas, they only have a beer and wine license, so they are made with a tequila based wine rather than actual tequila. I still think they taste divine.
Kim’s Kuban – 2302 N Roosevelt Blvd.
This little eatery offers Cuban and Mexican food. You can eat in the snug little dining room or order for takeout or delivery.
Old Town Mexican Cafe – 609 Duval St.
Open daily for lunch and dinner, this place serves up Mexican food as well as delicious drinks to enjoy in a nice, shaded patio setting.

No need to elaborate here. We are all familiar with this fast food joint serving up Mexican inspired fare.
Amigo’s Tortilla Bar – 425 Greene St.
