History
Frita's opened in Key West in late July of 2014. Our goal was to bring the Cuban flavors of the Frita to Key West. Our recipes were developed slowly and lovingly with visits to Cuba and the assistance of our Cuban friends to bring to you the best flavors possible.
Specialties
Fritas are heavenly Cuban Burgers. Origins are 1930's Cuba where it was street food. They are a mouthwatering blend of beef and pork burger seasoned with Spanish spices and topped with our special sauce and crispy fried julienne potatoes. Salty, savory, sweet and crunchy. All this deliciousness is sandwiched on a Cuban Bun, which is baked fresh daily in house and all of our crispy fried potatoes are hand julienne creating a flavor explosion like no other. Have the traditional, or top it with American or creamy and savory Manchego Cheese. For the ultimate add an egg. Inside the Cafe are delicious ice cream scoops and shakes made from locally crafted premium ice cream. A refreshing twist on the slushy is our all natural fruit slush layered with puree. The mango slush and our fresh watermelon juice make a perfect eye opener mimosa. There's house baked pastries including an eclectic variety of savory and sweet empanadas made daily from scratch. Choose your own fillings for our heavenly corn flour Arepas. Enjoy our mobile grill outside on the patio. This is where our Fritas are grilled to perfection along with pressed Cubanita sandwiches and Cuban inspired tacos, Yucca fries, sweet and crispy house made churros as well as other Key West favorites. Our coffees are exceptional Grands Crus with the perfect layer of crema. Come have a little taste of Cuba at the closest location of its kind to Mile Marker 0.
