Our Story

A Little Shop with a Big Flavor

123 Rico Pastel started with a simple idea: bring the taste of a Cuban kitchen to the middle of Key West. Not a restaurant. Not a chain. Just a small spot on Simonton Street where the dough is rolled by hand, the coffee is pulled fresh, and nobody rushes you out the door.

We learned early that people don't just come for the pastelitos — though we like to think ours are worth the trip. They come for the smell of café cubano hitting the air when you walk up the steps. They come because this place feels like someone's abuela's kitchen, only with better weather.

Everything we make here follows the same rule: if it wouldn't pass the test at our own table, it doesn't go in the case. That's the 123 Rico Pastel promise — no shortcuts, no compromises, just honest food made the way it should be.
