If you want authentic (Haitian) food, come here. The portions are big and the food is very very tasteful. It's a basic restaurant with a small bar and locals visit as well. Very friendly and affordable. Try it and you will like it!

I lived in kw for many years and lived around the corner from moes. We ate there twice of week. His French onion soup and escargot were divine. The new owners do not have the same attention to detail. The shrimp on the creole shrimp dish were of the"frozen in a bag and purchased at public" variety and there were... More

Just arriving early evening into Key West we were hungry and tired and looked online to find a restaurant within walking distance of where we were staying. We found Mo's with good ratings so we gave it a shot. First impression of the interior a humble little restaurant in need of some TLC. There was only one other couple there... More

We were riding our bikes around town and, when we got hungry for lunch, happened to come across Mo's. My husband had the oxtail with red beans and rice. It was delicious, but you do have to be an adventurous eater. I just had a salad because I wasn't very hungry, but got to have some of my friend's chicken... More

We walked into Mo's not sure what to expect, but we walked away with smiles and full bellies. At a glance, the place looks a bit like a hole in the wall but if you look closely you'll see the colorful Haitian artwork on the walls. We were pleasantly surprised, as we recently spent time in Haiti. While definitely not... More

Once having been regulars at Mo and Reyna's restaurant for ten years, returning to Key West after a seven year absence, naturally our first dinner was to be at Mo's. Arriving on a Friday evening just before 7PM there were no lines, no wait, and the restaurant was empty - a shadow of times past. Welcomed by the daughter of... More

Food is good and the service is OK. I had the fried pork which is tasty. The place seems to be a little run down, interior touch up is strongly recommended.
