    Outstanding food . I must have been around 8 times during the month and the food is delicious , fresh and interesting . Full of flavour and taste ! Service is fab , as are the cocktails and the ambience is the same as most on the strip . Highly recommend but would suggest they change their specials menu weekly. It’s a must visit!

    The food was veery delicious! We took a fish in parmesano and a pasta with seafood, and we enjoyed every peace. The portions are big. Service was nice and fast. The owner was there and he was very friendly and attentive. The only thing is the dessert looked a bit expensive for me for what it was (140 pesos for a piece of cake). Considering the main dishes were actually at a very good price. Besides, very recommended. When I ll be in Puerto Escondido again, for sure I ll be back.

    10/10 recommend! The service was excellent and the dishes were beautifully posted. I got the special, sesame crusted Tuna. It was filled with flavor & pleasant to look at. I also tried 2 ceviche’s - I enjoyed the tropical one better, but they were both good! If you’re in Puerto and looking for a nice dinner that is packed with flavor, I would recommend Turtle Bay.

    We had a lovely evening here. We sat outside. We ordered the mahi mahi and the tuna from the specials board and a couple of glasses of Chardonnay. Everything was delicious. The staff were professional. If we were here another night we’d go again.

    We were lucky enough to walk by this great little restaurant and decided to stay for dinner after seeing their specials menu. They have super staff and the food was amazing. We liked it so much we went back the next day for burgers. The tuna and mahi mahi specials were incredible. We also tried the shrimp soup which would have been a highlight all by itself. I highly recommend giving the Turtle Bay a try. You won’t be disappointed.

    The best restaurant in Puerto Escondido so far! We were so impressed by the service (thanks again ROLANDO :)). The meals are very tasty. Usually, it's really difficult for me to eat outside in Puerto and I really appreciated that they cared about my food allergies. I had no symptoms at all after which was so appreciable. You can see that they use great quality products. I highly recommend!

    This place is a great little restaurant. My husband and I went for dinner, and we were pleasantly surprised, on how good the food was, my husband ordered the La Wooow burger, and they made me some vegan tacos, they are not on the menu as this place is not vegan friendly, but I hope they will change there menu, and add vegan options to it one day.
