Key West Attractions Association

So, you're in Key West, and you're craving Cuban food.
Oh do we have the place for you!

Jose “Pepe” Diaz’s journey began in Cuba, where adversity forged his resilience and cooking became his safe place. As a political prisoner for five years, Pepe honed his culinary skills in a camp. What started as a necessity evolved into talent, purpose, and ultimately the backbone of a life dedicated to the art of food. 🍽️

After departing from Cuba, Pepe's adventure took him through Spain and eventually to Florida. It was there that he encountered the woman who would become his wife and partner in creating a new life. Together, they pursued a dream infused with Cuban culture, family, hospitality, and freedom.

El Meson De Pepe's Restaurant & Bar became the lasting home of that dream in Key West. The place where guests can taste Cuban recipes, hear the music, see the history, and feel the culture that Pepe helped preserve.
