Great food and service. Kids loved the outdoor games. Nice spot after a hot day in the beach.

This place was a hidden gem in Cocoa Beach. The staff was incredibly friendly and the food was amazing. The Queso is is delicious. Our three kids devoured it, easily. The flavor of their sauces and meat was perfect. Highly recommend checking this place out. read more

So our family found this GEM on vacation. Possibly the best place for lunch/dinner in Cocoa Beach. Low key, great service, great food. Beef empanadas appetizers were the best we ever had. While all the food was good, the Sofrito bowl was my favorite. read more

I asked the waitress what is the least spicy thing on the menu, she said anything with the chicken. So we all order something with the chicken. She neglected to mention and the menu did not state that the chicken was very shredded and very curry. We survived and our friend who loves curry was very happy. The waitress was not overly attentive but seemed to be the only one out front. I would not return but if you like spicy or curry come here! read more

Nachos are the way to go! I got them with shrimp and chicken. They were some of the tastiest I have ever had. The service was super friendly as well. I wish I could eat here everyday. read more

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

A gem near the beach! I was searching for something new for my husband and my 20th anniversary...bingo. We drove to Cocoa Beach from Orlando a nice drive and found The Tiny Turtle! It looks very tiny from the road but there is lots of seating, outdoor, in the breeze way (outside without the sun and indoors which is air conditioned. We had the sofrita burrito and Sofrita nachos. Pulled pork on the burrito and shrimp for the nachos. Both were delicious...full of spicey goodness without being hot! Well worth the drive. Nice and laid back island atmosphere. All the reviewers were right on. Next door is The Fat Donkey....delicious, creamy homemade ice cream. read more

Delicious & unique. Both the sofrito bowl and the quinoa bowl are fantastic and full of exciting flavors. This is a tucked away little gem in Cocoa Beach. read more

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

If you're in downtown Cocoa Beach, you have to visit this place right in the heart of it all. Love everything I've tried so far but I'm particularly partial to the Sofrito Burrito and the Cheesesteak Caribe. It's like a Philly Cheese but with a Caribbean twist. My wife loves the tomato bisque, especially if it's cooler out in the winter. They just recently added breakfast this year and the tripleta toastie might be my new favorite breakfast dish! You just won't find food like this anywhere around here. read more

Great fusion of flavors, good atmosphere, give me a bit of home away from home Be patient good food isn't microwaved and served Quinoa bowl read more

This is the best food experience I've had in a while! I got the Mahi BLT to go and it was quite possibly the most flavorful sandwich I've ever had! The service was also so good, they explained multiple menu items to me over the phone with patience and excitement. I got the sweet plantains and side salad, which are included in the meal at a really great price! It also has a cute gift shop area, and the employees draw a cute little turtle on the box. If I could give The Tiny Turtle more than 5 stars, I would! read more

I had the Huevos Rancheros with shrimp for breakfast and it was awesome. We sat inside at a booth and the atmosphere was really cool.

Ok food but nothing like past reviews have suggested. The Shrimp and shredded pork themselves were ok but the rice and black beans were dried out. Not sure we would go back. read more

Supper yummy food. Great service. The pulled pork is seasoned well and cooked to perfection. Would definitely go again. read more

The Tiny Turtle - Sofrito Pork bowl. - Caribbean Near Me - Cocoa Beach, Florida

Food is amazing!! Had to come back 2 days in a row because the sofrito bowl with steak was the bomb! Service was slow and understaffed but the deliciousness of the food far outweighed everything else. I will be back! read more

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!

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.

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

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

Great tropical vibe only a block from the beach. Friendly staff that make you feel relaxed and welcome. Shout out to Victoria, a great barkeep. Flavorful menu, especially the Island tacos, the surf taco basket and the burger caribe. Tried them all and they are all great. If you're in Cocoa Beach it's a must stop for lunch. read more

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

Great little restaurant in Cocoa Beach. Ate lunch there and sat outside at the rail. Good atmosphere and good food. Will definitely visit again. read more

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

This was a great surprise on our visit to Cocoa Beach. They make a mango reduction that is so tasty. We had sofrito salad and burrito, quesadilla, and a wrap--everything was amazing. read more

This is the best place to eat, the owners are so nice and the food is the best in Cocoabeach to eat. !!!! I can't wait to go back again and again !!!! read more

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 sofrito is off the charts amazing!!! A must eat. The wait was a little long but staff gave us forewarning and were friendly and great! Kudos to all! Would come back daily if I could. 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

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

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

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

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

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
