The Best Restaurants to Know in the Florida Keys

"For over 10 years, Frita’s has been making Cuban-style burgers (a native street food of 1930’s Cuba) inside a quirky little house in Key West’s Old Town area. The small shop’s interiors are filled with nods to Frida Kahlo — and while this isn’t a Mexican restaurant, the owners have had fun with the play on words to bring both cultures together through the space’s design (which is now a brightly colored Keys-style reproduction of the kitchen at Frida Kahlo’s Casa Azul in Mexico City). The menu includes shareable appetizers, sandwiches, and tacos, but the Frita Burger is the real reason to eat here. Choose from a spicy frita, a fish frita, a confused frita (mojo pork, Caribbean slaw, onion, crispy potatoes), or the traditional burger, among others. All are served on a freshly baked Cuban roll and can be paired with Cuban coffee, beer, sangria, or a milkshake made with local ice cream." - Allison Ramirez
