January 29, 2018 · by willoughbyandy · in Burgers, Florida, Latin American, Southeast · Leave a comment. On our day of food in Key West, we shopped and ate our way down DuVal Street. We had our first lunch, of a wonderful lobster roll at DJs Clam Shack, and about two hours later we had arrived for second lunch. Garbo’s Grill is another Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives find, housed in a food truck behind a bar.
The food was flavorful and freshly prepared. Service was quick and helpful. Don't be intimidated by the Lando...get it! The Korean BBQ was amazing.
The bulgolgi tacos alone are worth the trip, easily the best meal I've found after 2 months of living in key west. The fish tacos weren't worth it, no real taste to them. Hamburgers were a little dry but good. Great outdoor seating. Little expensive and I'd have to try more but this place could easily be a 4.5 with a few more dishes on the bulgolgi taco level. I loved the real cane sodas as well. Black cherry and rootbeer.
Wonderful (2) korean tacos for under $11 at a foodcart with shady outdoor seating. It sits behind a bar/restaurant called "Grunts" and is just barely visible from the street. They give you a pager to let you know when your food is done. I am guessing that you can get an adult beverage from Grunts (although we did not), which seems to share the lovely outdoor courtyard. Hand sanitizer sits on the table as a nice convenience. We enjoyed it.

Please try the Korean taco… You will wet your pants it is so so good! Simple elegant just really really good can't say enough about it. Take the food and even the bar excellent!
Saw this little gem on Triple D. The umami burger was on point! It was very filling and the taste lasted forever. Short wait time and location was peaceful.
This is must stop! This was featured on food network triple D and those places look hit or miss, but this was really good. We had the Korean bulgogi tacos and Cayo's fish burrito and not were amazing. The fish was very moist. The sweetness of the bulgogi paired with the spicy toppings, so good. This is a perfect example of picking a few things and doing them well!
Best Korean BBQ (Bulgogi) burrito I have ever had. Great little place on Key West island. The guy cooking road a nice vintage BSA too.
So freakin' good and pretty spicy! They get busy and there isn't much seating but things move quickly!
The best beef taco I've ever had. The shrimp is amazing and the service is impeccable.
We went for happy hour to grab a couple drinks and to try the famous Korean beef tacos. We got the the taco trio happy hour special and the sliders - all so delicious! We tried to get another round of tacos not realizing it was a few minutes past 6pm but we were told we couldn’t. But overall we loved the patio and the live music was great! Definitely recommend and make sure you order everything before happy hour ends!
Came to experience the tacos as we saw this as as an interesting discovery. It is a a cool food truck at the back of Hanks. Order food from the truck. They provide you a buzzer and you sit at Hanks bar which is a cool live music experience bar also! Setup a tab for drinks at Hanks and they buzz you when the food is ready.
I sampled the shrimp tacos and my buddy had the Korean beef. Shrimp tacos were awesome. Fresh juicy and plump shrimp with lots of flavour. Definitely would come back. Friend said Korean beef tacos were delicious also.
Very cool little spot in the back of Hanks. I make at least one trip here everytime I come to key west as it is well worth it. The food is unique and the portions are fantastic. Highly recommend the KBBQ burrito/tacos and the umami burger/sliders. Don't forget to ask for the local or military discount. You won't be disappointed in this food!
Great experience here for lunch. We stopped by and had tacos (I got the fish tacos and my wife got Korean beef). Both were excellent and really generous portions. They will customize orders (mine was more spicy) and service was fast. Food truck is in the back and they do all the food orders, the bar is in the front and both bartenders I talked to were really nice and gave fast service. Only thing I wish we would have known ahead of time is that happy hour is 4-6 pm and they have specials. We went for a late lunch and ordered at about 340 so didn't realize it until after the fact.
Cool vibes! Open air but plenty of fans, love music, bar with a/c but only a few seats. Food truck/trailer where you order in the back. Limited menu but great food, fresh, flavorful! Drinks are great as well! Off the busy path and worth the stop.
Amazing food! Been going here for years now. Garbo's started out in a parking lot down the street, then moving then their location down at Hanks in the back area. Eventually, they were put right up front by the main entrance of Hanks!. Their foods are fresh, delicious, and come in huge portions. If you're not a fan of spicy foods, make sure to mention that to the worker and they can hold spicy items the best they can. Overall their happy hours are the best to stop by and get a sample of their entire menu. Especially ordering the Taco trio and the umami sliders can give alot of diversity in taste. The Garbos experience also comes hand in hand with Hanks! A fantastic bar with a comfortable and relaxing outdoor/courtyard vibe. Plenty of fun and live music to enjoy throughout the day. If you're in Key West, this is a must-go for places to grab a bite to eat!
The Korean BBQ tacos were awesome! The servers were nice! My husband got a lobster roll though and was severely lacking the lobster for the price! He felt like he got taken advantage of. For two people we paid $45 with no drinks and felt like he should have gotten more. The live music is a plus!
Lobster roll, umami burger and the Korean BBQ tacos are all delicious!! If you want a sweet treat after get a key lime colada from Hanks!
We ordered pick up, we had the Korean tacos and spicy mango hot dog. Both the tacos and mango dog were delicious. Highly recommended.
Hidden gem in the heart of Key West on a quiet street off Duvall. I had an awesome all beef National hotdog sitting in a courtyard of a canopy trees and an on-site full service bar. My only disappointment would be not having spicy mustard and having to use yellow, at the price of a frank I'd like to put what I like on it. Filtered water is available for adults and your pooches.
