" Disappointed during my visit to Tortuga last week. I went expecting great service and delicious food but experienced the opposite. It took forever for our food to arrive, and when it did, it was lukewarm. While the view was beautiful, I cannot overlook the lack of attentiveness from the staff. I won’t be returning any time soon.

" I love Tortuga! The food is always fresh, and the service is outstanding. My favorite dish is the fajitas, as they come sizzling hot with all the toppings. The beach view adds to the experience, making it a perfect spot for both family and friends. I will definitely be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tortuga offers a mixed bag in terms of food and service. While I found the location stunning and the vibe enjoyable, the food didn’t impress me as much. It felt more Tex-Mex than authentic Mexican. The chips served were warm, but the salsa tasted like it was straight from a can. Our server took a bit too long for our liking, but she was polite. I may try again in hopes that they address these issues. " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed a lovely dinner at Tortuga! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth from the staff. I sat on the patio and enjoyed a wonderful view of the sunset over the beach. The tacos were savory and filling, with fresh ingredients that made a difference. Our server was friendly and made plenty of suggestions from the menu. Overall, it was a great evening, and I can’t wait to return for happy hour! " (*Curated Review*)

" Stopped by Tortuga for an early dinner and absolutely loved it! The chicken enchiladas were divine, and the portions were generous. The staff was quick to refill drinks and made sure we were happy throughout our meal. I especially enjoyed the lively décor—very festive! Prices are reasonable considering the quality of food. I found it very family-friendly, and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone craving delicious Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tortuga is fantastic! The atmosphere is lively, and the service is top-notch. I ordered the enchiladas, and they were heavenly—plenty of cheese and drizzled with delicious sauce. My friends got a variety of dishes, and everyone was happy with their meals. The margaritas are exceptional here too! You have to sit outside if the weather permits; the views are stunning!
