" Disappointing to say the least. I was really looking forward to trying La Tortuga Feliz, but my experience wasn't great. The service was fine, but the food came out lukewarm. The birria tacos I ordered didn't have the depth of flavor I anticipated, and I felt it needed a little more spice. On a positive note, the rice and beans were exceptionally prepared. I might give them another chance, as the ambiance was nice and the staff seemed friendly. " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say my experience at La Tortuga Feliz was quite the roller coaster! I went in expecting a delicious, traditional Mexican meal based on the reviews. While the ambiance is warm and inviting, my order of steak tacos was a bit off. The steak was well-cooked but lacked seasoning. On the other hand, my friend's chicken gordita was amazing. The service was excellent; staff made sure we were happy and comfortable. I think I will give it another try since the other items looked delicious. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came in expecting delicious burritos based on all the online hype. While the staff was friendly and welcoming, my burrito left much to be desired. It was bland and needed more seasoning. The rice was fluffy and fresh, which was a positive note, but that alone couldn’t save the meal. I appreciate that the owners are hands-on and passionate, so perhaps it was just an off day. The atmosphere was nice, so I might give it another shot. " (*Curated Review*)

" Sharing my thoughts after trying La Tortuga Feliz. I have to say that their salsa is the bomb! So fresh and spicy in all the right ways! I tried the steak tacos and found them flavorful but also a little greasy for my liking. The service staff was charming, polite, and prompt, which I appreciated. The restaurant itself is well-decorated with a lovely atmosphere. It’s worth a visit; just keep an eye on how much salsa you get- it’s addictive! " (*Curated Review*)

" From start to finish, our experience at La Tortuga Feliz was just wonderful. From the moment we walked in, the colorful walls and friendly staff created a welcoming atmosphere. We ordered a variety of dishes – tacos, enchiladas, and burritos, and every single dish was bursting with flavor. It's so refreshing to find a place where the food is genuinely authentic, just like my grandmother used to make. The service was quick, and the prices were reasonable. We'll definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been a regular at La Tortuga Feliz for years now. I particularly love their carne asada fries and the freshly made guacamole. It's family-owned, and you can really sense the love and pride they put into their dishes. The menu changes slightly based on what's fresh in the market, which is a delightful touch. If you haven't tried their chiles rellenos, you’re missing out—it’s a dish that’s as authentic as it gets. I've never had a bad meal here and the service is always exceptional. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't believe how good the tacos are here. I tried the al pastor and they were so flavorful! I can't remember the last time I experienced tacos that made my taste buds dance! The service feels personalized; the staff genuinely cares about their customers. The restaurant itself is small, which provides a cozy environment. Although it can get busy, they make sure to attend to everyone and keep things flowing. " (*Curated Review*)
