I’m always in search of delicious fish sandwiches and paradise cafe is tier-one. I usually go fried but don’t think you can here - but I wouldn’t even if I could. Tons of flavor. Toasted bun makes a difference.

We found this little gem last week as we were cruising around. What a fantastic place. We ate lunch and if we would have had more time, would have come back for breakfast and probably more lunches! I highly recommend everyone stop here at least once while in Key West!

Paradise Cafe is the kind of hidden gem that keeps you coming back—literally. We ate there two mornings in a row, not for breakfast, but for their incredible tacos. The Diablo Tacos had the perfect amount of heat, and the Tacos al Pastor were packed with flavor. Everything is homemade, from the corn tortillas to the rich, smoky red sauce that takes the tacos to another level. The service was just as impressive as the food. David, the owner’s son, not only remembered our orders but also our names, which added a personal touch to the experience. It’s rare to find a spot that nails both quality food and genuine hospitality, but Paradise Cafe does it effortlessly. If you’re in Key West and craving authentic, homemade tacos, this is the place to go.

The best homemade breakfast in Florida, such a wonderful vibe! The staff is so friendly and make this place more fun I got the ham and cheese omelette with home fries and fresh Cuban bread. So so delightful.

Food was phenomenal for a smaller lunch spot. A ton of options that are all inexpensive. I had a fresh fish sandwich and it was so full of flavor and delicious. The Caesar salad dressing was also amazing and cheap. Great lunch or breakfast spot, took a little bit of time since we went close to lunch but was 1000% worth the wait. Will be back next time we’re in the keys.

The first morning I ordered a wakeup burrito. It was perfectly made fresh and delicious. But should be called the back to bed burrito because you will be full. On the second day I ordered a veggie omelette. Just WOW. Coffee is also very well made.

My boyfriend and I came here before heading to the airport and Jairo made it such a special experience. He was so overly kind, bubbly and had such great customer service. The food is to die for, so great! I ordered the avocado chicken sandwhich and I would recommend this restaurant to anyone! 10/10 experience.
