We came here after a long day at the Kennedy Space Center. We wanted to drive into Cocoa Beach for dinner. This place was able to squeeze in our party of 10 pretty quickly and their food is phenomenal. I highly recommend the nachos. The waitress recommended the sofrito salad with mahi and half caribe creme and half mango sauce. It was exceptional with an explosion of flavor. We also had the tres leches cake with some coffee and it was the perfect end to an amazing dinner. read more

Thanks Yelpers for sharing this little hard to find gem. Their signage on the street front is behind trees. We found it by circling back toward the alleyway. Surprisingly flavorful food. Enjoy! read more

I called to order for take out. The food was pretty delicious. Took about 45 minutes to prepare our order (with 6 items). However they did forget part of our order when we picked it up and took it back to the hotel which they did call us cause they realized they had one of our orders with them. Other than that inconvenience, the store has indoor seating and the place does look comfortable. The workers were friendly and were apologetic for the mishap. The tacos (tried the beef, steak, and mahi mahi) were pretty delicious. The sauce they put on the food is good. We ordered 2 of their sandwiches (cheesesteak and burger). They were alright. Nothing too special. Overall was pretty happy with the food. read more

This place is fabulous!! The food is out of this world! Always great service too. The atmosphere is sort of beach-casual, very relaxed which is nice. Try the nachos with half chicken/half beef, you won't be disappointed!! 10/10 highly recommended! read more

Wow! One of the best breakfasts I have ever eaten. Excellent service. This place is a gem. Highly recommended.

AMAZING food & AMAZING staff! Thank you!!!! Our first time trying Puerto Rican food & it was so so amazing! I highly recommend the plantain chips (obsessed dipping it in the guacamole & queso), the chip dip trio, & their grilled chicken skewers(pinchos)! I had the sofrito bowl (size small) with grilled shrimp (so delicious & sweet!), my husband had the tripleta sandwich & my daughter had the kids cheeseburger. My kids are picky and each found something they enjoyed! This is the place to go for some awesome food in Florida!! read more

The Tiny Turtle - Pork breakfast burrito - Caribbean Near Me - Cocoa Beach, Florida

We came here for breakfast today and the food/service was amazing! I had the breakfast chorizo burrito and it was delicious. The chorizo itself was good, but the combination of guac and sauces, eggs, and potatoes... made it off the charts good! The boyfriend had the breakfast bowl with steak, and he also said his was delish! Definitely get here before 10:30 though, if you are trying to get their breakfast. You won't regret it! read more

The Tiny Turtle - Breakfast chorizo burrito - Caribbean Near Me - Cocoa Beach, Florida

The food here is amazing! We went once and did have to wait 40 minutes for food but it was worth it. The ghost pepper salsa is SPICY AND delicious. The second time we attempted to eat here we waited by the door for 10 minutes and no one seated us so we left. So if your not starving or with two little impatient hungry kiddos then wait it out. read more

The Tiny Turtle - Chicken sofrito bowl. - Caribbean Near Me - Cocoa Beach, Florida

We came to the Tiny Turtle because my 14 year old requested a breakfast burrito. Our family of four sat down immediately, as is often the case, my husband and the 14 year old started turning their nose up at everything. After a come-to-Jesus at the table they all agreed to stay and order, and boy howdy did the food shut them up. My husband ordered a breakfast burrito with bacon, no sour cream, no guac - and fortunately he agreed to the rest of the deliciousness that it comes with. My 14 year old had them remove anything unique and interesting but he said it was still delicious. The 17 year old and I ordered breakfast tacos, and they were INCREDIBLE. He had the chicken, and the Caribbean flavors were spot on, and not over powering. I had one taco with ham and the other with Island pork - both amazing. It's very cute inside with a nice Caribbean vibe. read more

I really, really wanted to love this place. . . I read excellent reviews online and the first time we tried to go, the restaurant was too packed to get in. So, I came back with my two children (10 and 12) on a Monday night. Granted, it was spring break, so I expected a bit of a wait. Unfortunately, it was MUCH more than just a bit of a wait...we were told to seat ourselves and then watched as every other table around us was greeted. We waited more than 10 minutes for a menu (which was just tossed on the table without so much as a "hello") and then another 5-10 minutes before someone actually greeted us and took our drink order. We went ahead and ordered everything all at once, explaining to our server that we were very hungry. We then waited 20 minutes for a basket of chips and salsa with guac; Unfortunately, that arrived as a basket of chips with guac and queso ... we never did get to try their salsa. To be fair, our waitress offered to take it back, but we were SO hungry by then, we just told her to leave it. We had to ask for drink refills... and I was never offered another cocktail. Speaking of drinks, my daughter accidentally spilled her lemonade and no one offered to help clean it up. I ended up soaking it up myself with cheap paper napkins and putting the mess on the empty table across from us. All in all, we waited nearly an hour and a half for 2 kids sofrito bowls and 1 small sofrito bowl with shrimp. The sofrito bowl portions were a bit small, but the food was quite tasty. Unfortunately, it still wasn't worth waiting an hour and a half with two very hungry kids. Our server never checked back to see if we liked the food and then didn't even show up to deliver our bill; another server saw me waiting with my credit car clearly displayed in my hand and took pity on us. Perhaps the most annoying part was when checking out there was only an option of leaving 15%, 20%, or 25% tip. I waited tables for years while attending college, so I'm not the type of person to leave no tip whatsoever. It would have been nice, however, to be able ti leave 10% in this situation. Pros: cute place , nice ambiance with outdoor seating, and decently tasty food with a Caribbean flair. Cons: Literally some of the worst service I have ever experienced and absolutely ridiculous wait times. I would not recommend going to this restaurant unless you aren't very hungry and don't mind waiting around and being ignored. I gave it two stars only because the food was actually pretty good. read more

Down in coco beach hanging with friends at their condo. Stopped into this restaurant for dinner. Server came and got our drink and food orders. After sitting for 10-15 minutes I ended up going to the bar and serving our own drinks. Bartender told us well it was only 12 mins. Strange response? Food came out and I would have given this restaurant a 5 plus. It was amazing! We had the shrimp bowl. Fantastic!! Everything was great but the service was very poor and unprofessional. read more

The food was definitely way better than the service!! Cute little place to have lunch (not a quick one) took us almost 45 minutes to get our food. I probably wouldn't go back. read more

We had 3 different meals and an appetizer and it was all excellent. The Coconut Cartel Old Fashioned was delish. Will be back soon!

Great service & the food was delicious! The atmosphere was very relaxed & has nice outdoor seating. I would definitely recommend!

I love this restaurant, but their ToGo orders not so much :-( ... I tried to order the sofrito nachos and asked for the chips on the side because I had a 40min drive home and I didn't want all the chips to be soggy, they told me no, the cook won't put anything on the side. Then I compromised and did a sofrito bowl (no chips just rice/beans) and asked for a side of tomatillo sauce which I paid for, and they didn't include my side sauce!!! I was so looking forward to try tomatillo sauce for the first time Then I asked for a sofrito burrito for my husband and asked for the sauces on the top to be on the side so the burrito wouldn't get soggy and they said no. I don't agree with a customers inability to ask for sauces on the side when you have a decent drive to get home. Its good when you dine in but their TOGO is awful His burrito was beyond soggy and just fell apart and they didn't remember to put my sauce in that I paid for and they forgot our Togo silverware. Not cool read more

The pbj sliders with coleslaw and plantain chips are a must. Didnt taste any pb but the meat was juicy, the coleslaw flavorful and that sauce is bomb. The plantain chips were crispy and yum. We also got the mahi mahi nachos which were good a ton of fish but between the two the sliders were the better choice. Staff was super friendly and it is a cute hole in the wall place you might miss. When in cocoa beach dont miss this little joint. I wish I lived here I would be here weekly. read more

EXCELLENT take-out option during COVID! We moved to the area in May, and this is the BEST take-out we've found. Very flavorful, fresh, filling...DELICIOUS! My husband and I were looking for a good lunch that we could pick up safely. We called Tiny Turtle and ordered and paid over the phone. We picked up our food 10 minutes later, and the food was brought out to the car. I got a Sofrito bowl with shrimp, with chips and salsa and the beach slaw as my sides. Literally every bite was excellent, including the sides. Great homemade sauces and salsas. My husband got the Tripleta sandwich and wolfed it down. And a plus: eco-friendly takeout containers and utensils. Wish I could give this place more than 5 stars! We will be back regularly. read more

Great location in the heart of Cocoa Beach. Food, atmosphere and staff is amazing. Check out when they have music. Great talent and a fun time. read more

The food was fantastic, the portions generous, the atmosphere relaxed, the decor fun, and the staff was super friendly! We split the chips and sass/queso/Guam app, then my wife got a small shrimp sofrito bowl and I got the tripleta sandwich. Would 100% return! read more

Best place to eat in cocoa beach!!! The sofrito bowl is outstanding as well as anything else you get there!

Meals are delicious and portions very filling. Casual setting but don't let that stop you from enjoying a great meal and super service.

My family and I frequent this awesome place whenever we can Fresh & Good read more

Soffrito bowl has always got me covered when I'm too tired from work. Another huge plus? For COVID: You can do payment over the phone and pick up your food in the car from a masked server! 10/10 safety, 10/10 food. And what would you know? Your restaurant gets to stay open and no one has to redundantly shut down and take re-opening the economy x10000 slower to recover-- just by taking some simplistic precautions. Whoever runs Tiny Turtle is smart. Good on them. Pre-COVID, their outdoor area is super cute and relaxing as well. read more

We stumbled upon this cute restaurant when we parked on the way to the beach. We came with a party of 9 and took up a third of the space. I had the special for the day, salmon tacos. It was so satisfying and tasty. It left me happy. My husband got blackened fish tacos basket, that he liked. The kids got cheese quesadillas. We liked the music vibe. You can sit inside or their outside tables. It's super close to the beach, so it's convenient if you are hungry before or after catching some waves. It's next to the Cocoa Police Dept and a good ice cream shop next door that you gotta try, too. read more

The food was good, the reason for three stars is. My wife and I sat at the bar & immediately the bar tender said "we only have these four items on our menu today ". She said "short staffed". So I can understand lots of places like that nowadays. But the we sat for almost 15 minutes before she took our drink order. Note their was only 6 others at the bar. Finally when she took our order, I ordered the burrito, she asked if I wanted it "smothered" . I'm not a big fan of that . I asked if I could have the sauce on the side. "No it's all of nothing ". I'm like ok I've never had someone tell me that. So my wife asked. Who? She's says "because it's 7 different sauces & they'd have to put it in 7 different dishes". I'm like ‍‍ never heard of that but whatever. Won't be back. To bad because the food was really good. read more

A wonderful Caribbean fusion restaurant right near Coco Beach. Tiny turtle will not disappoint you with island music playing, palm trees and "sand" floors, you really feel like you have stepped into a Caribbean Island. My wife had the grilled Mahi BLT which was quite nice. I had the Sofrito Bowl with tasty Puerto Rico rice, a plantain, guac and other yummy things. The Tiny Turtle is a unique experience if you can't just get anywhere. With plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, quick service and great food, this is a great spot. read more

Eating animal-free I ordered the Sofrito Burrito with the Vegetarian filling (comprised of sautéed kale, green peppers and onions) and asked them to hold all the dairy ingredients. The person taking my order over the phone was very friendly and from the way she handled my request it was likely not a new thing for her. The burrito was delicious and massive. The rice and beans were the star of the burrito and the side of maduros were amazing as well. Technically maduros are a side but in practice they are very dessert-like. The spices and flavors are the unique attraction to this style of cooking. I would easily go back and explore the menu. read more

Let me start off by saying the staff and service was amazing, very friendly and extremely attentive to their tables. Now the food......sorry to say but to be called a Puertorican cuisine, let's just say it's the Puertorican name without the taste or craft. For example their tripleta sandwich is no where near what a Puertorican tripleta tastes like nor what it should have inside. I have never seen a tripleta that has what looks to be deli meat inside. Mind you, it was still pretty cold when served. The chips and salsa were also awful, the salsa was dry and chunky. The Burger Caribe was somewhat decent, except it lacked in flavor and seasoning. Safe to say I was extremely disappointed as a Puertorican myself, I was excited about the idea of a Puertorican fusion cuisine, and couldn't wait to eat here. read more

The food was TERRIBLE and the service was even worse. We got nachos w| steak and there was MAYBE 3-4 pieces of steak on it. The staff seemed rude other than the one girl who wasn't our waitress I've had a lot of great food this was a no go. I don't know if their grease is bad or a cook messes up, however their nachos tasted like someone dumped cinnamon on them. It was pretty weird, I definitely will never go again. read more

We were looking for something before a little comedy show in Cocoa. This place was so yummy and had excellent service (Gidgette). On her recommendation we all had bowls and they were scrumptious. A great beer selection too! Two outdoor patios. And a surprise reggae band on the back patio. Tonight they were upfront that they were understaffed therefore a limited menu. Which didn't deter us and we appreciated the info upfront. The food was fresh and really quick. We are visiting from MN but come a couple of times a year, we will be back! read more

Always come here when we have a day out at cocoa beach! The food is definitely on the pricey side, especially for the portion size which is why it's not 5 stars, but solid and unique! Recommend the potato sticks and the plantains for sides. During the quarantine they had exceptional service as well! read more
