The food was horrible and made us sick. The original Tortuga’s was great, but since they moved it’s not the same

Didn’t even get a chance to give their food a try because they employ small sassy men who want to puff out their chests in the presence of women whose mere presence makes them feel less than

First time here after they moved to the old Gold’s gym location. I used to hate their old location because I never got good service and the food sucked. Well that was not the case this time around! We were on the seawall watching the 12pm parade on 2/3/2024 and figured we come up to get some margs and food. The place is huge, open and the restrooms were clean. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by a super friendly hostess and seated immediately. Our server Debbie came immediately after. She was super sweet and took great care of us. We ordered some queso, Mexican street corn, street tacos and enchiladas and of course Margaritas! Every single thing we had was delicious! Really loved the Mexican street corn - they were roasted and seasoned just like how you would get at the La pulga :D The queso that we ordered was also good, however a little runny for my liking. Street tacos came in what seems to be freshly made tortillas, the steak had great seasoning and it was tender. Mango margarita I had was also delicious. Hubby enjoyed his classic margaritas as well. Overall a great experience and will definitely be back soon again! Parking: Plenty of parking space even during Mardi Gras weekend!

This was by far the worst experience I've had at a restaurant in a long time. The service was absolutely dreadful. Our server was completely drunk. He didn't bring my friends their drinks, forgot what we ordered multiple times, kept disappearing, and couldn't get our bill information correct and was trying to charge us things we never ordered. He was slurring his words and couldn't remember anything. It wasn't just our table either, multiple tables had issues with him. I could write a book on how many things went wrong. Thankfully, the manager was very nice and reimbursed me for our food. It's a shame because the view is awesome since the restaurant is on the second floor, so you can see the beach perfectly. The food was pretty good, except my beans tasted a little sour. Rating 1.2/10

I’ve called the restaurant several times and it goes to voicemail. How can one place an order to go? You all are losing business!! Not professional!!

Food made my wife and myself sick. Our stomachs were all screwed up the next day. Our son was fine however, he ate at home. Plus, we had a 15 minute wait until the first person asked if we had been helped. Happy hour wasn't over until then. Walked in at 5:45, didn't eat until 6:45'ish

I'm surprised this place is still open. Honestly the worst burrito I've ever had. I can eat El super gigante burrito with no problem, but this one I didn't have the heart for it. Each bite tasted off. Not like spoiled or food poisoning bad, more like soul crushing, "the next bite can't be this bad" bad. At least I have a fun story to tell about the one time I didn't finish a burrito in my adult life. The wife orders tacos, they made her seem like SHE was the weird one asking for tortillas when they gave her a plate with no flour or corn tortillas, like do they know what a taco is or did our order get so mixed up they didn't say anything? It was also stupidly cold and the heat was out. We didn't ask for a box for the leftovers. I wanted to go find a taco bell to order a crunchwrap to get the burrito taste out of my mouth. Gracias, La Tortuga.
