Fabulous food. We sat outside and had a great time. Service a bit slow but we will go back!

This place is the best! Excellent warm servers, bluesy music, fresh spicy food...I recommend it! We had the soft it's bowl--Maduros, shredded spicy chicken, yellow rice, guac...just typing this makes me want to go back. Tons of kids--delightfully family friendly. read more

We stopped in for lunch and enjoyed fresh delicious food and a variety of draft beers on the patio. Nice place for people watching during the craft fair and good prices. read more

Second time returning to the tiny turtle and wasn't disappointed. Chicken Sofrito bowl was excellent. I didn't get the slaw with it this time, only because I wanted the extra maduros. I couldn't finish it all, and my kid ate the rest and stated, "Mom, why do you always get the good stuff!?" Really, you ordered your own food and picked the island taco basket, which she exclaimed was delish! The tiny turtle chip basket was huge and came with three big sides, we received more warm chips without asking when the waitress noted we'd eaten the big basket of chips and had left over queso, guacamole, and salsa because the sides were so big. Yummy, is all I can say, well maybe I will add, go! read more

We parked in the Public garage and walked over. It's also Friday Fest so this area is quite busy. The food is good and affordable. They are tables and booths and two that are half and half. The sweet tea was pretty good. read more

Excellent food, amazing service. Jaime was our server but the entire staff was awesome. We had no less than four people check on us during our dinner. Jaime was great and offered great advice on food choices. I had the Caribe Burger, side salad, and a side of Cole slaw. Excellent sauce called the Caribe sauce. Basically thousand island with attitude. Yummy! Everyone in our party loved their food choice. Definitely recommend! read more

Checked out local spots on Yelp! for Cuban sandwiches on their menu and was very pleased to see The Tiny Turtle as one of the top choices. Our server, Summer, was cheerful and informative. Our food came out pretty quickly, too. We went with their version of the traditional Cuban sandwich, which was excellent. The bread had the right balance of crunch and chew. The condiments were not overpowering, allowing us to enjoy the meats and cheese. One thing we loved was their crepe caribe (their signature sauce). It's a big sandwich so we split one. We ordered the maduros (fried plantains) and brown rice with black beans. Both made great pairings. Other sides were available including plantain chips. Service on the phone-we were originally just going to order for pick up when I asked Kiana, who was taking our order, if there were seats available just then. There were so we opted to dine in. We happened to sit inside but there is also shaded seating outside, in front and in the courtyard, which also has fans to help keep you cool. We loved the contactless menu via QR code and free wifi! Thanks for serving my son, Fabian, and me our first great meal out together in the area. It was a wonderful welcome for him to Florida. We'll be back to try more of their offerings very soon including desserts which include flan, key lime pie & tembleque! Thanks, Yelp! read more

The Tiny Turtle might be my new favorite spot in Brevard County. It is located in Downtown Cocoa Beach just two blocks from the beach. There is plenty of on street parking which is free for 90 minutes. I went here recently for lunch w/ my friends. I ordered a vegan meal while they both ordered a non-veg meal. Feel Tiny Turtle is a solid spot to accommodate various lifestyle dietary choices w/ a Caribbean Asian Fusion menu that offers healthy options. I went w/ the Quinoa Bowl. "Superfood" quinoa sautéed w/ a kale mix, green bell peppers, & onions topped w/ guacamole, black beans, salsa, & roasted tomatillo sauce along w/ mango caribe. It comes w/ two sides so chose the black bean rice & grilled plantains aka maduros. Everything was flavorful & filling. I throughly enjoyed my meal. My friends enjoyed their meals as well. It was fairly packed at the lunch hour & our server told us they will close some of September to expand the restaurant. The ambience here was stellar. It has a beach vibe as feels like you are eating on the beach in a beach hut as the floor is painted to look like sand. Murals on the walls. Tiki faces are scattered throughout the restaurant. It has AC indoors so is comfortable to dine in even when it is a blazing hot Summer August afternoon. Five stars as great experience here! read more

Yum! Great food, great ambiance, family friendly, and service was great. We enjoyed sitting on their patio while the kids played and ran around. Very relaxed atmosphere. read more

Had a great breakfast. The food was great. The selection of coffees and cappuccinos were solid. The waitstaff worked well together and made you feel welcome. It was nice sitting outside and we will definitely come back. read more

I was talked into three stars. My gut was two. However, the drinks were great, the prices were fair and the bowl was enjoyed by my wife. From my perspective, the sandwich tripleta was kind of gross and the cheesesteak was beyond any recognition to an actual cheesesteak. Our waitress, self described as middle aged, was delightful. Ben's glizzy was horrendous and should be removed from the menu. Ps: she was not middle age. I'm guessed 68. read more

Had never heard of this restaurant, ended up at a going away luncheon. Outstanding grilled cheese sandwich! read more

This place wasn't bad. It's a small restaurant on Cocoa Beach. I tried it during brunch and sat outside. I like the outdoor seating:) Has a nice vibe but wasn't super impressed on the food. I had a tequila sunrise which was good and ordered breakfast tacos. The prices were low. Lunch/dinner might be better! read more

First dinner in our Cocoa Beach stay. It was a hit! I had the pork tacos, husband has the grilled bacon and cheese sandwich with tomato bisque soup. Others tried a wrap, the nachos, sofrita bowl and empanadas. Everything was delicious! Highly recommend! read more

WOW. We stumbled upon The Tiny Turtle while on vacation and every single bite was amazing. The sofrito bowl (get it with shrimp and steak bites) had the most amazing Caribbean flavor and the burrito (get the pork!) was filling and delicious. You will not be disappointed in a stop here. Eat out in the back patio for a game of cornhole while you wait to indulge in deliciousness. read more

Took a long time to get our food. Waitress was nice and we chatted. Ambiance nice. Food was not good though. I had a toasted bread. I thought would be seperated eggs and bread and sausage but got everything in the bread. I did not like it. Would give the place another chance to try another meal other than breakfast read more

Food was very good. Pins colada was wonderful. Will be back when in the area. Also try the fat donkey next door for dessert. read more

Delicious food, not crowded. Try the sofralito bowl, it won't disappoint. Staff is very friendly, food served quickly.

Such a great place! We have returned a year later because it is THAT good! I ordered shrimp tacos.... served with a delicious slaw and a really tasty sour cream dressing that's a tad bit spicy. I also got a coquito and it was sooo good!!! Hubs ordered mahi mahi tacos and the kids got the Kaleb bowl again. They were still SUPER pleased! Happy this place is still doing well! read more

Outstanding place, very happy with our visit. We had friends in from out of town and met here for drinks and appetizers. We had a sampling of everything and you could taste the difference in everything they make, it's all freshly made. This included the drink mixers, they used all fresh juices and make everything in house. The standouts for me were the pulled pork quesadilla recommended by our bartender (so so good) and the chips with all of the sauces for everyone to sample. In short, outstanding visit, great vibe, and killer food. This will be one of our go-to places to bring visitors when they come to see us! read more

On an impromptu trip to Cocoa Beach and after spending a little time at the beach, we was on the hunt for a local dive. Final decision: The Tiny Turtle. It has a great vibe, friendly staff, and a mini-shop right there in the dining area. I ordered the taco basket. Can't say I was expecting much; can't really go wrong with tacos. Man, those tacos were good!! The chicken was super flavorful seasoned with those good Island spices. Also got a kids meal, which was a pretty decent portion and it got demolished. We decided to go all the way and get some dessert. Had some good options to choose from, and settled on the tres leches cake. Yum yum yum!! All the desserts come from a local bakery, so I was definitely a fan of that! The Tiny Turtle is alright with me! read more

Man oh man, this place is good. My mom and I came here after a day at the beach and it was the perfect late lunch before driving back to Orlando. I ordered the large Sofrito bowl with pork and I was very happy I got the large versus the small. I planned on taking home leftovers if I couldn't finish but it was so amazing, I just had to keep eating it. I really loved adding some of the plantain into my bites for a bit of sweetness. Also that sauce they add on is top notch. My mom ordered the sofrito salad with mahi mahi which was huge, and she loved it. She said the fish was cooked perfectly. My only critique is that when we walked in they said to sit anywhere and that they had a back patio as well. We went and sat back there, no one else was there and after the waitress initially came by and brought us waters, she didn't come back for a while.....so we moved up to the front little bar area outside instead and actually got service. We did come at shift change so not sure if that played a part. In any case, I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Cocoa Beach. read more

The Tiny Turtle - Sofrito bowl with pork - Caribbean Near Me - Cocoa Beach, Florida

Took Yelpers' advice and popped into this cute little spot on a quick visit to the beach. Put simply: Yelp affirmed! The food was delicious, and our waitress's recommendations were spot-on! She was also wonderful with our kids and making sure they got something they'd like and actually eat. It's a little tucked away, but well-worth the effort to find and check out! Cute decor, amazing food, and great service! Some of the best food we had on our trip to central Florida! read more

Good was delicious, staff were friendly, happy and attentive. Overall a great place for a quick bite in a chill atmosphere.

Meh, I was expecting a wide variety of food and it's Mexican which is fine. I enjoyed my Cuban Sandwich, the side rice was dry. My wife hated her tacos. Ambiance was old town eats so if you are looking for a Cuban it's good. read more

What a find! We picked this place because of the reviews and we were not disappointed! We got the two of sofrito bowls, one with chicken, one with pork. The chicken one was the most flavorful, the pork was good too just not as robust flavor as the chicken. We also got empanadas which were delicious! Serving size was good, prices were great! We had a darling server who was very attentive! The Tiny Turtle is a gem! read more

The Tiny Turtle - Sofrito bowl with chicken - Caribbean Near Me - Cocoa Beach, Florida

Flavorful Food - Fast Service - Perfect Location! My wife and I shared the pinchos (skewers) to start and they came out within 10 minutes of us placing the order! If you don't like your foods touching this may not be the place for you... She got the sofrito bowl with maduros and a side salad (all of it comes in the same bowl) and I got the quinoa bowl with beach slaw and a side salad (also all in the same bowl). BUT it made it easier to eat and all the flavors went well together so I'm not complaining that it comes all in the same bowl. We also shared the tacos (we got mahi mahi in corn tortillas) and they come with the chips and salsa. Our entrees came out within 20-25 minutes of placing the order! Overall amazing service and with the live music in the background from their front entrance it was an awesome time, all within a 5 minutes walk away from the beach!! MY ONLY COMPLAINT is that the table in the center to the left (6 top booth and chairs style table) was directly under the vent so the sweat from it dripped onto the table and easily could've gotten into the food had I not noticed it dripping. read more

Loved this place. Quaint, decorated nicely. Efficient servers and the food was delicious.

Great little place! Killer tacos. Have been here a couple times over a couple different trips. Definitely a staple whenever we visit!

Great food, great service. Ordered a salad with shrimp (don't remember the name of it) it was delicious. I didn't like the mango dressing but it was great with the ranch dressing. An extra 2 ounces of ranch dressing was $2 which was crazy! The beef tacos were amazing! read more
