Tortugas Beach Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Coclé

We went on a rainy weekend day and at noon we were the second group that arrived. We were charged $10 for any hut space and $2 additionally per adult. We were told that during weekdays, there is no charge.

The beach area was calm and clean, the restaurant looked clean and even though we didn't eat inside (since we paid for the hut space), we were disappointed with the food. It was rather expensive and the fish I asked for was very raw before I asked them to cook it more. The $12 dish was basically a small filet either rice, fried plantains (patacones) or something else. It was not worth the price in my opinion.

I ended up spending more than what I bargained for and will not go back despite the good customer service. I would not recommend spending a beach day...

Parking is confusing and Google Maps sent us the wrong way. Turn near the Yellow Casino building and follow signs that way. When you enter the first parking lot, continue to the right and keep going about 1/4 mile or so and the parking lot is on your left. Tell the parking attendant you are going to eat and they won't charge you.

Now on to the restaurant. This is a great beach grill. Amazing fresh fish and good sides. Not crazy expensive ~$7 for a drink which in my mind isn't bad for a place on the beach. Staff was very nice and eager to help which seems to be rare in Panama.

Great lunch spot and about 13 mins from Bijao Beach area /...

This place is amazing. Superbly appalling. They want to charge $3 us for a 4 year old to use toilet after i said we would have lunch there.

It gets better, it is reminiscent of the 1980s. They serve you in styrofoam plates and plastic cutlery, at a beach where lots of this ends up drifting unwind on to the ocean. Ok food wise the onion ceviche is great. Small chunks and slices carefully selected of fine white and red onions sprinkled with a dash of fish.

Service was as expected,...
