La Tortuga is honestly a hidden gem — 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.

Huge menu with very filling plates! The waitresses were super attentive and our food came out quickly, even though it was pretty busy around 1 pm on a Monday. I tried the Caldo 7 Mares and the Molcajete Oaxaqueño — both were absolutely delicious! I’ve also had their Coffee Cake and it’s a 10/10 — so moist and full of flavor. Definitely recommend stopping by if you’re ever in the Seaside area!

I came here because I saw it on TikTok. Unfortunately, the service was poor. The waitress seemed like she did not want us there.
The food was worse. I ordered nachos, which were disappointing but not a big deal. I also ordered a chile relleno burrito, and the chile relleno itself was spoiled. I do not mean that it just did not taste good. It had clearly gone bad. There was a strong smell, and after two bites that tasted off, I reached the chile relleno and realized it was spoiled.

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 was mostly amazing! The Huarache was amazing; I’ve never enjoyed nopales so much! The ceviche was really special. The gordita was mediocre, dry, needed salt. The service was exceptional. I like the ambiance but it’s super basic and not meant to impress.

came here yesterday with my husband we’re big foodies and we love to try new places and we were so satisfied with our experience. The portion was unbelievably huge for the price not only that but delicious as well. The ladies serving were really kind. I wanna shout out the younger girl with Dyed hair because she was really cool too.

Awesome find – great food in an unpretentious atmosphere. Everyone was very friendly and helped explain some dishes and were accommodating to my kids. Will be a regular stop when we visit.

La Tortuga has the best breakfast burritos around. All their choices including their soups are excellent, but if I’m in the mood for a breakfast burrito I only come here. Craving satisfied!
