If you're looking for a tasty and affordable breakfast in Key West, El Habanero is the place to go. I recently ordered bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwiches on Cuban bread, and they were great and filling. The café con leche was spot on, just what you need to start the day. Plus, the prices are super reasonable, making it a great spot for a satisfying breakfast without breaking the bank. The vibe is relaxed and family owned with very friendly staff.

Food is delicious and flavorful here! A hidden gem that's away from the tourist area. Plenty of parking in the shopping center where the restaurant is located. Service is always friendly and fast. Bachata music in the background as you enjoy your meal. Good vibe and good food as usual.

I just ordered, sat down and already feel good about this restaurant. Customer service is on point! Very friendly, brought my coffee to me and is delicious. It’s small, nice and ordered the breakfast special. Pictures to follow. I just finished eating the breakfast special and this is a must visit! I will be back - no need to look anywhere else. The coffee that I ordered was a favorite. 👍👍👍👍👍
