Top Restaurant Picks for Key West
There are so many places to eat in Key West, however do you choose which restaurants to try during your visit? Maybe this list will help. We have chosen restaurants of all different types to fit anyone’s palate or desires. As most of my readers know by now, I am a little bit of a foodie, or as my husband puts it, a food snob. The places listed below have consistent good food that keeps me going back. Restaurants with an asterisk (*) next to the name will also cook your catch for you!

Chico’s Cantina | Review
Chico’s Cantina, located at 5230 US HWY 1 on Stock Island serves traditional Mexican fare at reasonable rates. It is a regular spot for Key West locals to gather for lunch or dinner. The casual setting offers both indoor and outdoor seating. I myself eat here often, usually for a quick and delicious lunch.
By far, Chico’s has the best chips and salsa anywhere, and it is prepared fresh each day. But there is a danger with filling up on these before your food arrives. You can choose from steaks, seafood specials, tacos, burritos, fajitas, enchiladas, chimichangas, quesadillas, eggs, soups, and salads. Fillings include bean, ground beef, shredded beef, chicken, shredded pork, and cheese. You can choose from several sauces as well, like Verde, chili, melted cheese, and several others. They also have gringo foods like hamburgers and hotdogs (two of the few items that I’ve never eaten here).
