EL ALAMO KEY WEST – Mexican
Tucked into the same Charles Street building as The Alamo bar and grill, El Alamo Empanaderia bakes Argentine-style empanadas fresh and oven-hot through the afternoon in Key West's Bahama Village. Each hand-folded pastry is stamped on the dough to mark its filling: steak, ham and cheese, humita made from sweet corn, caprese, or barbecue chicken, and every order arrives with its own dipping sauce. Reviewers order several flavors at a time to compare, calling them consistently fresh and hot, with the occasional forgotten item chalked up to a busy kitchen. It reads as a walk-up counter, not a sit-down room.
