What Guests Say

La Tortuga is honestly a hidden gem. It's one of those places you don’t expect but end up loving every time. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and made with care, and the service makes you feel welcome like a regular even if it’s your first visit. Their La Tortuga Cubana is amazing! Packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and easily one of the best Cuban-style sandwiches with a twist I’ve had. Every time I’m heading up the coast, I make sure I never miss this place. It’s become a must-stop for me because the quality is consistent and the vibe is just right. If you’re passing through and want an incredible meal at a spot that feels special and underrated, La Tortuga is the place to go

Tonight my house mate and I decided to try this highly recommended restaurant. I look forward to eating here again. The food was delicious, fresh and the portions were large! The employees were all nice and friendly.

The nachos were great and my Cuban sandwich was packed full of meat! I left fat and happy!!!
Thank you!

The food is delicious. It has really good flavor.. highly recommend the bacon breakfast burrito. Also the torta Cubana.. you get what you pay for an it's worth every it. I would say over all the prices are really reasonable. The Champurrado has a really good flavor, I just wish it was a little warmer.. The service was wonderful, we were treated and sat immediately.. when we got here there wasn't that many people but slowly it started to get busy still the ambiance was great.. highly recommend this place.. we will be back

Great service and great food. This review is a continuation of an old review only a modern menu update. My new go-to is Ceviche de Camaron. I love it all tho. Burritos are amazingly fresh. Tortas packed to the brim. Tlayudas beyond. Amazing mole. Great beans and rice. I'll be exploring the menu more and more in the future so expect more pics and reviews. Place is A+. I love Oaxaca Mexican food!!
