Tortuga y Chango

"Small. Tucked out of the way. But will not disappoint. We stopped in for tapas and drinks. I don’t know which item was best because it was all standout. We normally don’t order dessert but did this time because we were intrigued by the description. And it was worth the splurge."

"Great family dinner. Not very crowded (it was the 4th weekend) but service was great. Do not go here looking for burritos as this is way more authentic food. Myself we're exceptional and I got more than enough bread for doing in the broth. Salads, relleno, dessert, and an exceptional Paloma- which has become my wife's favorite drink. Check this out for exceptional good."

"Everything was amazing. The cocktails were spot on, the food delicious, and the staff were so kind and offered advice, explanations, and recommendations. Can't wait to go back! And visit 2, did two tequila tastings. Amazing. Explanations were given, food came out amazingly fast and was at least as good as last time. I love this place!"

"Good food. Enjoyed the moles. Each had a unique flavor, which I appreciated. The octopus was done well, nice and tender. The one downside was the service needs some work. We got seated by a guy, he came back after five minutes or so and took our drink order. We waited about 5-10 minutes to get our drinks. The same guy brought us out drinks, so we assume he was our server, but he didn't ask for our order. We waited another 5 minutes or so, we saw others getting food, getting their orders taken. So I flag down the guy and tell him we're ready to order, to which he tells us he's not a server, he's the manager. It looked like he tried to flag down a server, but ended up getting a notepad and took our order. So that was a little awkward. But he was nice about it. We got our food pretty quickly after that, maybe another five minutes. No one came and asked us how the food was, but it was good. In the end I have no idea who our server was supposed to be. Someone else did come by and took our plates and then took our dessert order, who we learned from another conversation we overheard was one of the co-owners. Which was cool. She was nice. She did ask how the dessert was (I enjoyed it quite a bit, we ordered the caramel flan-like thing, I forget what it was called. It did have whole chunks of cinnamon in it.. which she seemed to indicate was intentional when we asked, but that's an odd decision, because you don't really know what it is until you already had it in your mouth since it was embedded in the flan thing, and I would not recommend eating it, but other than that the dessert was good). So I do wonder if they are understaffed, or it's just growing pains. I know things are tough in the food industry. Either way it was a fine experience, but it did lean a bit toward the awkward side of things when it came to service."
