We strolled into the Old Town Mexican Cafe looking for some dinner and a place to relax after a day of walking in Key West. We stood at the podium and waited to be seated maybe about 5 minutes. A young man walked up to us and motioned with a couple of menus and so we followed him to a... more

This is not the most authentic of mexican food but very good. The menu had several interesting choices besides what you would expect. We had their version of Paella which was very good as well as the crab cakes. The kids split a beef buritto which was offered with shreadded or ground beef. All the ingredients tasted very fresh. I... more

Even the picky eaters with us found things they loved. Very reasonable prices - full entrees $12 and under. Fresh salsa and chips when you sit down. Cute garden outdoor patio with tables under umbrellas. Fresh shrimp quesadilla, huge pieces of dolphin in the fish tacos and the burritos were stuffed with delicousness! more

My husband and I visited this restaurant on our last night in Key West because it was right around the corner from our B&B. There weren't many people dining when we arrived which was the first indicator that this restaurant was NOT a hot spot. Shortly after receiving our drinks, we witnessed a server confront a patron and his family... more

My friends and I were so happy to stumble on this place! Two of us had dishes made vegetarian and vegan friendly that were completely unexpected - tamales and chimichangas - no cheese, and fantastic. The salsa was great, as was our service. I had been to this restaurant years ago and my food was overshadowed by our run in... more

The Old Town Mexican Cafe had food and service that was OK, but the hostess refused to sit us by a window at a table that was available, saying that the next waiter (ours) was assigned a group of tables in the back of the restaurant and we would have to sit in one of those! I asked why they... more

We were walking down Duval and this placed seemed like a great spot to dine. They offer an intimate patio setting right on top of Duval. The service was very good but the food was very average. There are a few other Mexican food options on Duval, I would choose one of those others. more

My husband aand I have just gotten back from Key West and during our stay we ate at Olde Town Mexican Cafe twice! We went there for dinner and it was so good. The waitress was so nice and the service was excellent. When we woke up the next day we decided to go back again for lunch. Both of... more

We were the only people in the restaurant when we went. The tea was instant and old, the table wobbled and the waiter got our order wrong even though there were only 2 of us! Not the greatest experience I've had. The food was good, but not great. I would avoid this place. more

Not good

I tried this place multiple times to give it the benefit of the doubt and finally came to the conclusion is just not a good place to eat. Try it if you will, but you have been warned. Go to Chico's or Salsa Loca instead. more
