Paradise Cuban Restaurant – Authentic Cuban Fiesta & Legendary Frita in Marathon

Alright, amigos! Buckle up, because SoFloDining just stumbled upon a slice of paradise, and we’re still buzzing. We’re talking about Paradise Cuban Restaurant in Marathon (2603 Overseas Hwy), and trust us, it’s more than just a catchy name – it’s a full-blown culinary adventure! Doris and I immediately felt the laid-back vibes of the Florida Keys wash over us. This family-run spot is warm, welcoming, and bursting with the promise of deliciousness.

We started with the essentials: a vibrant Orange Fanta and a classic Coca-Cola. Then, the real magic began.

First up: the Cuban Sandwich. Let me tell you, folks, this isn’t just any Cuban sandwich. This is the real deal. Layer upon glorious layer of ham, succulent roast pork, melty Swiss cheese, tangy pickles, and a perfectly balanced slather of mustard, all pressed between slices of that crusty, unforgettable Cuban bread. This sandwich is pure, unadulterated, heavenly perfection. Each bite was a symphony of flavors and textures.

But wait, there’s more! We also had to experience the Frita, that Legendary Cuban Burger. Picture this: a patty that’s a glorious blend of ground beef and chorizo, infused with that signature smoky, spicy goodness. Topped with a mountain of crispy potato wisps (think the best French fries ever made, times a million!). This isn’t just a burger; it’s a culinary revelation.

The magic of Paradise Cuban Restaurant goes beyond the food. They have carved out a little piece of Cuba right in the heart of Marathon. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and filled with the sounds of happy diners—it’s the perfect spot to unwind and savor the flavors of the Keys. Our next visit is already planned! We’re talking about the Ham Croquetas, those crispy, golden nuggets of deliciousness that everyone raves about, and the Vaca Frita, that shredded flank steak masterpiece. They also offer breakfast, so you can start your day the Cuban way!

SoFloDining officially declares Paradise Cuban Restaurant a MUST-VISIT destination! From the authentic Cuban cuisine to the laid-back atmosphere, this family-run place has it all.

The ultimate FOMO moment comes from delaying your visit and missing out on the heavenly perfection of the Cuban Sandwich and the culinary revelation of the Legendary Frita, which define this authentic Cuban fiesta in the Keys.
