Lunch: Mojo Roast Pork
This vibrant, flavor-packed dish embodies the heart of island cooking. Marinated in a zesty blend of citrus, garlic, and spices, the pork slow-roasts until it’s irresistibly tender and infused with bold, tangy-sweet flavors. Whether shredded over rice, tucked into a Cuban sandwich, or served with plantains, each bite celebrates Key West’s rich culinary heritage and laid-back island spirit.
Early dinner: Ropa Vieja
This slow-cooked Cuban classic stew captures the essence of island comfort food with its deep, smoky-sweet flavors. Shredded beef simmers in a savory blend of tomatoes, peppers, onions, and fragrant spices, creating a rich, hearty dish. Served over rice with a side of plantains, this soulful and delicious meal is a true taste of Key West’s vibrant culture and warm, welcoming spirit.
Dinner: Lobster Enchilado
A coastal Latin American favorite, especially in Cuban and Caribbean cuisine. Succulent lobster is simmered in a rich, spicy tomato sauce with garlic, onions, bell peppers, and bold seasonings. The lobster’s delicate sweetness perfectly balances the sauce’s vibrant, tangy flavors.
