Read the reviews and followed the trail. Pretty good size. Place needs a little updating. The food made up for the decor. Usually try drinks and appetizer to get a sense of taste. The drinks were a little disappointing. Had a Sangria and a Mojito. The Sangria lacked flavor. Tasted like watered down wine. The mojito needed a little kick. Started with the Trifongo as an appetizer. Ful of flavor, you could taste the garlic and yuca mixed with the plantains. Moved in for the main course. Hemingway Chicken. Had tostones with white rice. The helping was only two of the tostones. Misunderstood as a salad included as well. The tostones were crispy and fully cooked. The rice was well cooked and fully popped. The chicken was well cooked, mushroom cheese sauce flavorful was a great addition. Definitely excited to try this place again.

Authentic cuban food! Love the yuca fries and medianoche sandwich, like a Cuban but with sweet bread, piled high with roast pork, ham, mustard...?
Great coffee, GREAT masitas de puerco, always going to order the empanada trio. Such a vibe.

I got the empanadas and mofongo with shrimp. They were both amazing! I will definitely be going back! The customer service was also great. Very personable and got my order right changing all the things i wanted and didn’t want in my meal!

Hubby brought us here for dinner after trying it first with his coworkers at lunch a few days before and really enjoying the food. Everything we ordered was very flavorful. Hubby had Lechon Asada at lunch previously and insisted I get it for dinner. It was very tender and delicious. He opted for the Palomilla Steak and although he really enjoyed the flavor, the meat was overcooked and chewy/tough - it's hard to cook steak that is that thin. I had flan for dessert and enjoyed the strawberry sauce that accompanied it on the plate. It was a nice change of pace to chocolate. Service was great and when we dined the restaurant was empty, but as we were leaving three groups were getting seated. We enjoyed a cocktail each and they were tasty but a bit on the weak side, nothing to complain about - just a note for those who prefer stronger drinks. We look forward to returning, but will probably steer clear of the "thin cut" beef dishes.

I'm honestly surprised. I used to complain about Tortugas being flavorless and bland. I'm not sure if its the new management but there has been an impact on the food big time! I've visited twice in one week... I love the empanadas and the black beans... random but I love em!!! More Guava Empanadas pleeeeeassseeee!!!!! See you soon!!!3/7/2024I still love this place! Their food and service is top notch, flavorful, and consistent!

Good service and food. The smell of the restaurant is bad, like a smelly bathroom inside of the subway of New York bad. Please fix because I want to return with my family but I don't want to sit within a bad smell while eating

Omg this place was beyond amazing!!! The food was *Chefs kiss* the trifongo, the "sancocho" like soup, the cubano, and steak were all so great. The drinks are super strong as well. If you want to have great food and a good time check this place out.SN. THEY HAVE A LIVE BAND ON SATURDAYS

Some of the best Cuban food we have had! The Tortuga's Tripleta was the best Cuban sandwich, and the Papa Rellenas were delicious!!
