Tortuga's Mexican Village

Super adorable restaurant in Princeton that is easy to walk to. Has a small parking lot in the back. Our waitress was very friendly and accommodating. It is cash only, which is fine but just keep that in mind before going. It seemed like they are also good at accommodating larger parties. Highly recommended if you’re in the area!

Let me start by saying the food here is excellent. It’s not quite authentic Mexican, but it’s tasty with high quality ingredients and proper seasoning. Portions are large and though dishes are on the pricier end, it’s well worth the money. My issue lies with the service. We waited for 30 minutes (at 12 pm on a Monday) to receive menus. After that, we waited an additional 20 minutes to have an order taken. It looked like they had only one member of staff waiting on tables. I would be more understanding if it was a busy period, but there were maybe 7 other parties at the time. The server was pleasant enough, but did not come to check on us even once. As good as the food was, I cannot overlook waiting for almost an hour to simply have our orders taken.
