Somehow after years of coming to KW, we had missed this place. Until yesterday! Oh. My. Goodness!! We will be back. The food was amazing and the staff was so nice too!! Thank you for one of our best meals in KW (and we’ve eaten all over the place!). It was so good!!
This is my favorite place in the Keys! Prawn Sandwich is the best thi g in the entire world! I have woke up at night dreaming I was eating one. No joke. To die for! I can't believe I haven't written a review before, we've been going here for years!
I live in the neighborhood and always passed this place thinking it would be like every other island style restaurant down here. Boy was I wrong. The food AND the service was phenomenal!!! The menu was fresh and different. I am so glad I finally tried this place. So good!!!

This little place has big, big taste. The roasted corn is to die for, I had the press and my fiancé had the Mahi-mahi sandwiches the flavors were spot on the the size of them worth every penny. Well worth 5 stars.
Been on the island for almost 3 weeks.. Tried everything.. Bien is my favorite by far. Incredible flavor from the food.. Excellent atmosphere and did I mention that the food is incredible!

When we were here a few years ago it was called Paseo. Now Bien, it has the same great menu items. I love the smoking thighs chicken dinner. Tender chicken atop rice with a side of the famous black beans and a side salad for around $15. It was so much food I had plenty to take home and it was just as excellent day two as it was day one! My husband got the Palamino Steak sandwich and he is a huge fan. The seating area while still small has expanded from the last time we went. It’s very casual and a lot of people do take out. Definitely one of our favorite places to eat.
This place deserves its #1 ranking . I had the steak sandwich which was one of the best sandwiches I have ever experienced and I went to Philly home of the cheesesteak and pork broccoli rabe sandwiches . My daughter had a great chicken sandwich and my wife and daughters roommate had the #2 bowl which was awesome
A must stop every time I'm in Key West. The western Caribbean bowl is the best,great chicken and plenty of spice. You won't be disappointed.
Had the steak sandwich last night and had to go back today to try a different one. So very satisfying and delicious. The mahi sandwich was just as good and the fish was done to perfection. This is a 4-5 napkin place which means it’s full of goodness!
Best Sandwiches. Defiantly recommend this place to anyone who comes to the keys.
What a great find! The food was wonderful and there is a lot of it. I would definitely recommend it.
Our last dinner at the end of a week in Key West. And our best. We only wish we had found this gem earlier. By FAR the best meal we had all week.
We had the chicken sandwich ...amazing and the price was good for key west...can't wait to go back.

Authentic Caribbean food place in Key West. Small but the best food tasted during our trip. Loved their jerk chicken wrap with caramelized onions, perfectly spiced and balanced. Ordered their corn on the cob and it was perfectly spiced. Best place for Caribbean food if you are in town
Before my latest visit in December 2017 The last time I came here in April 2014 it was a whole in the wall that served exceptionally amazing food. Since then its been featured on Food Network, Travel Channel, Zagat Rated, & Trip advisor top rated recommendation. So now come the 2X prices to 2014 prices lol. But still Excellent!
Amazing!!! It lived up to all the hype!! There was a super long queue and it was a warm day... But our patience paid off... We had the much reviewed corn and we had the carne and rice & scallops in red sauce... We also enjoyed the music and the cool island vibes! Great place!!
Awesome food! Snapper on rice with red sauce sooo good! Roasted corn was super and grouper sandwich was great! Lovely people even in a ridiculous fake pandemic crisis! They were open and not acting worried a bit. Playing latin music and singing like it was a typical Key West Saturday night. Loved it!
Bien was a good informal place to have lunch. The rice bowl was filled with rice, meat, black beans and garnished with cilantro. It comes with chips to balance all the flavors. You can order it with or without jalapeños. Be prepared though, the place is outdoors and it has fans that don't cool enough when it's 100°F +
I enjoy traveling and most of all I love to talk to the people of the area to learn interesting points and places from the indigenous locals. On the plane down to Key West, I sat next to a very nice person who I found through chatting, lived in Key West. She opened up and told me where to go to eat away from the touristy Duval Street. She suggested Bien, a restaurant that offers Cuban and Caribbean fare. A storefront restaurant located on a corner, this place was like stepping into transport capsule and beaming right to Cuba. The food was out fricken standing! I had the shredded pork and it was spiced to perfection. You can only dine outside and to protect from the blazing sun during the hot days they put up an awning to protect those from the tropical heat. Try this place...I truly think you will love it!
We got the rice bowl and it did not disappoint! The chicken was flavorful and juicy. They split to rice into black bean and a little spicy. The chicken marinade was sweet. Will def visit again!
General Cuban plates and sandwiches. Light tropical music plays on the background. Very limited seating space.
You order at the counter, take a seat, bus your table. No bad at all.
Although the #2 could havr been a bit less salty and grease, the size was substantial.
The prices will be more than anyone is used to because resources around here are limited and the logistic expensive, so expect to pay more than anticipated.
Great Caribbean and Latino food. Had a lunch date with my wife here. She had the pulled pork with black beans and white rice and I had Palomilla steak with onions and side of white rice and pickled cabbage. Great fast service and delicious food. Additionally they have sandwiches and full bowl lunches that you can share with others. Small seating area, but perfect for a small group, families, or a couple to enjoy food and a good conversation. If you visiting Key West, you should definitely check out this place and try the food.
Best street corn I've ever had in my life. It took a little bit of time to make it's way out of the kitchen, but it was well worth the wait. The al fresco dining area is shady, cool, and draped in beautiful flowering vines. It was a great place to escape the midday heat.
