Loved the Cuban sandwiches. Nice toasted bread and the pork was very succulent. Atmosphere wise, it is attached to a laundry mat but that adds to the local feel.

I have eaten tacos in more countries than I care to admit and the skirt steak tacos are the best I have ever had. How they got so much flavor in each bite is beyond me. Conch fritters also get an honorable mention.

The Cuban sandwich was our favorite in key West! No drama, just good food. Returned two days later!

I ordered California Burrito, Skirt Steak burrito and tacos, Hibiscus juice and dulce de leche. I have no complaints. I’m a Chicagoan and flavor is everything to me. They NEVER let me down. Be patient because they make everyone’s order with time well spent and love.

Had some diner side service with my smoking hot girlfriend. We both got eh sandito sandwiches. One a wrap and one typical. They slap. Really enjoyed the sandwiches. The prices are really good and the service is fast. Highly recommend coming and checking this spot out.

This is the one place I will never skip when in Key West. Hands down the best Cuban and the empanadas are ridiculously good! Even the fries are good. The Cuban breakfast takes a simple meal and adds so much flavor. Stop by Sandy’s, you don’t want to miss it!

We were on the hunt for a great Cuban sandwich and decided to give Sandy’s a try—and we are so glad we did! Hands down, the best Cuban sandwich we’ve ever had—perfectly pressed, flavorful, and satisfying. We also tried the plantains, and they were just as tasty—crispy on the outside, soft and sweet on the inside. If you’re craving authentic Cuban flavors, Sandy’s is a must-visit!

Went twice while in Key West as they were close to where we were staying. Had a Cuban for lunch the first time which was delicious. Tonight we got Pollo Criollo. Delicious large chicken quarters on rice with black beans, plantains and Cuban bread. So good. Highly recommend. Their coffee is excellent too
