Salsa Loca
Mexican · Key West, FL
About
Warm chips and beer greet you as you step into Salsa Loca, just off Duval Street. It's the only Mexican restaurant in Key West with a full liquor license, meaning real tequila in the margaritas. Regulars call it Nancy's family, where strangers become part of the crowd. The vibe is casual outdoor seating, and the food is classic Mexican, not tourist compromises.
You'll want to stop by before sunset when the margaritas flow and the chips stay warm. Yelp indicates a possible permanent closure, so check ahead. If it's open, it's a friendly detour from Duval's busier spots.

“Best Mexican with Real Margaritas”
Located just a short walk from Duval Street, this place serves the best authentic Mexican food on the island. It's the only Mexican restaurant in town that has a full liquor license, so you can get margaritas made with real tequila. The vibe is such that you might arrive as a stranger but leave feeling like part of Nancy's family. I've never had a bad meal here, and we like to drop in just for a beer and warm chips.
