The food was pretty good, this is the 2nd best Mexican restaurant, that actually had vegetarian, food that had flavor! The food is a little pricey but you can tell the food is fresh. I’ll be back to try their veggie sampler and other items so stay tuned..

Nice cute cafe located in the heart of Princeton with a private parking place at the back.This place gives you complimentary authentic salsa with chips to begin with. Quantity of food is good with reasonable price.

Great service, cozy inside, and big portion sizes. I got the California burrito take-out a couple of weeks ago and it was delicious. They also gave chips and salsa free with it! Recently ate there with friends and got free chips and salsa again! I ordered the enchiladas de mar which was okay, i’d prefer real crab instead of fake crab but I should’ve checked. Friends got fajitas which looked great.

I am no expert of Mexican food. However the presentation of food here was interesting – they add sauce almost over anything – tacos, burritos, chimichanga, etc. The end result was a big slurp for me in my combo dish. The chicken in the chimichanga was tough. The beef taco was okay. The cheese burrito was so soggy that I didn’t even finish half of it. The restaurant was almost full on a Friday night and very noisy. Hard to have intimate conversations. Maybe for groups are fine.

We tried different varieties of vegetarian food . The taste of food was bland and everything tasted similar to each other. The service was good though. But I would not recommend this place for Mexican vegetarian food.

I ordered the shrimp and crab enchilada and guacamole. They were both delicious. My only problem was the guacamole was overpriced, IMO, at $15.

Our first visit here was wonderful. We traveled 45 minutes to go back and this time was disappointing. Ordered the three tacos meal, soft, with two chicken and one beef. The tacos came with a lot of water underneath, making them extremely soggy. The nice waitress explained that it was the juice from the chicken. Either way, the tacos were so soggy they fell apart when you lifted them up. Also, the food was not hot – which may be why they were so soggy – that sat there for awhile. The guacamole was good and the chips and salsa. I also don’t feel I should have had to pay two extra dollars for a dollop of sour cream- you’d think sour cream would come with a soft taco! I sent it back And didn’t order another menu item. Not a good visit this time.

Very good food at Tortuga’s with good portion sizes and normal prices for the Princeton area. Service was quick and friendly.
