Florida Keys and Key West Restaurants

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.

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.
