Yummy yummy yummy the service was great and the food was top notch. Tacos were great and the bowl was very tasty! We will go back!

Only giving it 4 stars because although the food was phenomenal, the blah service we received took away from the experience. The food takes a fair amount of time to come out, but its fresh, well-seasoned and delicious. The only downside was that the staff seems too busy socializing to take care of the customers. I will say the food was delicious - I got the pulled chicken nachos and was not disappointed. I will definitely give this place another try, but the customer service should be more of a priority. read more

Love this tiny spot located in the Heart of Cocoa Beach. Super laid-back and welcoming atmosphere from the first moment I ate here when I cycled up to the pickup window and enjoyed a Caribe Dog with my boyfriend. This was before they expanded to the colorful and fun, sit-down dining area they have now. My favorite dish is the plantain chips and beach slaw which is really listed as a side-dish on the menu but who cares about labels these days. There's something about it that makes me order it every time. (YUM) If I had to choose a favorite main dish it would probably have to be the pork taco basket served with chips and salsa. Every bite is flavorful. There's great seating choices too. I usually arrive on bicycle and opt to eat indoors to beat the heat, but on nice days (almost always) you can eat at the sun-filled picnic tables or in the shaded breezeway that leads to more delicious adventures. They accept cash and credit as payment in case you were wondering. read more

The Tiny Turtle - Caribbean Near Me - Cocoa Beach, Florida

We waited for 50 mins for the food. I guess they are looking for a chef. The service was good tho.

Charming, island style restaurant with friendly staff (Tiffany is awesome), fresh food and unique flavors from the Caribbean. My guests ordered the pork sliders with a peanut butter and sweet Thai jelly sauce that they raved about. The pork was lean and thinly sliced. The salads and sofritos were delicious. Plenty of outdoor seating both in front and back courtyard. Definitely worth a visit for breakfast, lunch or dinner. read more

We had the sofrita bowl with pork and it was amazing!! My husband and I easily shared one bowl. It took a little too long to get our food, but otherwise it was really good! read more

The Tiny Turtle - Caribbean Near Me - Cocoa Beach, Florida

Came here for dinner because of the great Yelp reviews and while I liked the concept, our overall service was meh and I didn't like the taste and seasonings of a few of the menu items. So after we sat down, our waitress came over but seemed distracted. She didn't write down our order and so when the food came put, I got a shrimp salad put in front of me, instead of my veggie Sofrito salad ($10). I went up to the counter and explained the error - she took away the salad bowl and 3 mins later, I got a bowl with my vegetarian black beans. I have a feeling they just removed the shrimp pieces, but that it was the same salad bowl and if I was a strict vegetarian, I honestly don't think would have liked that they substituted beans rather than make a fresh new bowl! My mum got the featured Fish Bowl which was Salmon Sofrito Bowl for $15. I really liked the rice and beans and we got a side for $3 even tho the seasoning wasn't an aggressive as other rice jerk seasoning I have had prior. I also didn't like the seasoning on the salmon - it just tasted off. We'd also requested a Tiny Turtle Chip Basket with Guacamole and Salsa ($5) but that order also didn't make it to the table - guess our waitress forgot to put it in as she wasn't writing down our order. Not sure if would come back again when next visiting Cocoa Beach. Yelp Review 113/ 2017 read more

The Tiny Turtle - Sofrito bowl! Delicious! - Caribbean Near Me - Cocoa Beach, Florida

Was in town for vacation (Orlando) and made the drive to the beach for the day. Stopped in here for lunch. It was off-season, so they were dead. OMG!!! Sofritas bowl was out of this world - had chicken and pork. Wife had PBJ pork sliders - wow!!! Affordable prices, good service - we will return next time we are in town. read more

The food was really good! Four of us dined in the back, under the new tiki roof! So cute! We hope they get more help. Service was slow, due to being under staffed. We'll try again. read more

Excellent service, Excellent food! I can't tell you how many times we were asked if we needed anything? If the food was alright? The staff was very attentive! The food was plentiful and tasty! I had the sofrito bowl pork, my girlfriend had the quinoa bowl! I'm not a big fan of quinoa, but I'll say this, after one bite of my girlfriends dish, I wanted to trade bowls! Both were excellent! Tremendous amount of flavor in both bowls! I will definitely be visiting more often when I make my way to Cocoa Beach! Don't miss out on these bowls for your souls......enjoy! read more

Amazing sofrito salad & sofrito burrito! 5 stars all the way! Wide range of delicious cocktails too!

I have known Kelly the owner for years. She pours her and soul into everything she does. Her years of customer service and love for the community are unmatched. Running a successful restaurant that all the locals love has been her passion. I look forward to eating there the next time I am in town !! read more

We tried to place a pick up order over the phone. One of the items we tried to order was a sofrito burrito wet but asked to please have the sauces on the side that would go on top of the burrito. We were then told the workers refuse to do such a thing and that we would have to pay extra at an ala carte rate for sauces that i was paying for anyways with the burrito. We were told that the "workers" should be paid for the extra work to put sauces in a container. Needless to say, will never visit this place. read more

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

I came here for lunch a couple of weeks ago while in the Cocoa Beach area, and I was extremely surprised. I saw that the menu offered a couple of wraps that looked pretty good, so I decided on the Islander Wrap. I was pleasantly surprised by how fresh the ingredients all were. I also tried their chips and guacamole, and the guacamole is fresh and made very well. They also had a $2 special on 1906 beer, which was a fun addition. I'd also like to point out that even though the space is small, it's incredibly clean. Our waitress was super friendly, too. If I'm ever in the area again, I will be making my way to Tiny Turtle. read more

This place has the best tacos I've ever eaten in my life, my favorite taco joint ever. I always make it a point to come here when I visit cocoa beach because it's just so great. read more

The Tiny Turtle - 3 corn tortilla pork and beef tacos - Caribbean Near Me - Cocoa Beach, Florida

the food was on point. very cute outdoor seating. good personable service .. i'll be back .

It's been far too long... I went to the Turtle a bunch of times back when they were new, and fell in love with the tripletta and the fish tacos. Unfortunately since, work has kept me away during their opening hours. Had a rare day where I could do lunch in CB, and had a fantastic meal! Awesome to see the new sidewalk area, and you guys have really done awesome things with the inside as well (it was pretty sparse last time, over a year ago). I got the four cheese bacon melt, combined with the tomato bisque. I really don't like tomato soup, but I absolutely love anything with bacon and cheese... The soup was freaking amazing... Absolutely the antithesis of Campbell's (the source of my hatred), with a zing from the acidity of the tomatoes, combined with a smokey hint (smoked paprika?). I bought the meal for the sandwich, but you changed what I think about tomato based soups. The bacon cheese melt was also fantastic. The bread is soft even after grilling, lots of cheese, maaaaybe a bit shy on the bacon, and lots of fresh tomato slices. Perfect pair with the soup, and a huge portion. I took half home and I'm still full. My dining partner had the soup as well and echoes my opinion, and also had the Caribbean dog, which she loved, and for around 7 bucks was an insane amount of food. It's a LOADED dog, plus slaw and plantains. There's no way to eat it like a regular hot dog... You fork and knife it because of all the toppings. Service was on point, fillups of our beverages were frequent, and the staff was about as friendly as restaurant staff can get. I'm here writing this review because I hated... HATED tomato soup for 30+ years. You guys changed me today. Awesome job! read more

Service a bit slow for only 2 other tables with guests. Went in for a traditional breakfast and got 2 eggs, bacon, and burnt potatoes for $10. Wanted an extra egg, but it would have cost $2, so I passed on it since you can get a dozen eggs at the store for less. Had to ask for silverware and salt and pepper. Next time I will go to 4th street. read more

This place got so many good reviews that they probably don't need another one, but this place gets two thumbs up from me! Good food, good ambience, good waitstaff.. we'll be back next time we're in the area! read more

Unfortunately I won't be returning or giving this place a 2nd chance. The names of the food may sound authentic but the food is not. I got the Tripleta with fried plantains and a coleslaw. The beef looked like it got microwaved, the ham looked like the cheap ham from a Save a lot ‍‍ and to top it off. The pork or chicken looking thing was curry flavored. Yeah curry flavor on a Tripleta. Along with the soggy French fry chips. The coleslaw looked like it been sitting in a tub since they open. I dared not even try it after my wife had a bite and said don't eat it. I took her word for it. The fried plantains. No need to go here for them. It's the same frozen Goya plantains you get supermarket. Nothing look cooked. My wife had the sofrito bowl. Yeah don't try that. Everything also was pre-made. Some sort of curry flavored yellow rice and the food had no flavor. I counted 9 employees and none of them Spanish. Not that it matters. But maybe they should hire at least one Puerto Rican for their so called Puerto Rican restaurant. If you read this long and still feel like giving this place a try. Good luck. You will be disappointed. read more

Outstanding food and excellent service. This place is worth a visit. The food is fresh and the flavors are exceptional.

Great Caribbean feel little restaurant In Cocoa Beach. Friendly staff and rich flavorful food!

This small restaurant may be the best thing about Cocoa beach. Totally unexpected food and flavor. We came in from the beach and were seated right away and our waitress was friendly. I ordered the small sofrito bowl with roasted pork. The combination of flavors in the bowl was awesome. Different flavors and textures all in one bite, so good! And I'm a sucker for maduros, which were cooked nicely. read more

We really wanted to try The Tiny Turtle yesterday - unfortunately, we waited awhile (too long) and no one came to take our order. Everything looked interesting - food and beverages - but, things seemed disorganized in the service end. We will try again, and any place can have a bad day - so hopefully this was a moment that can be corrected in the future. read more

Moises and Kelly, the owners, are awesome locals who support important local causes. And it's reflected in the care and feeding of their staff and customers. An easily absorbed menu of weird PR/ Caribbean fusion. And yes you can also get a dog or burger but why bother. The food and service is alway great and where else can you see baby sea turtles on the floor! read more
