Tortuga Jacks Brunswick - Mexican restaurant in Brunswick - 290 Frontage Dr, USA

My husband and I were driving through Brunswick to hang out with some friends and noticed the billboard for this restaurant. It looked really nice so we decided after hanging out with friends, we’d go get an early dinner/late lunch there. We drive up and it’s an old fast food joint turned restaurant. No big deal, a lot of places are turned into new restaurants. Nothing new. We get inside and it feels dingy. That’s fine, I’ve been to a lot of mom and pop joints that have the same type of feeling, it happens. We sit down in a booth and our waitress came over almost immediately to bring us chips and salsa. The chips were stale and had no salt, and the salsa looked like it had water poured into it and like it had been sitting out for days. It was brown. I didn’t have any but my husband compared it to tasting like a dirty old tomato. Fine, whatever, we’ll over look that, could just be an end of the day type deal. Little did we know, we should have left then. When we got our menus, it was NOTHING like the menus they show online. A very limited selection, which was a disappointment. The waitress gets our order and brings us our drinks. They charge $4 a piece roughly for JUST a Dr Pepper and sweet tea. My husband got the Jacks Chicken Chimis and I got the Big Boy Burrito without tomatoes and corn salsa due to a tomato allergy. The waitress brings us our food alarmingly fast, but maybe the cook is just really experienced. We get our food, and they’re both burritos. The Jacks Chicken Chimi is NOT a chimi. It is just a burrito. We start eating and the food is hot garbage. They didn’t put my lettuce on top of my burrito and it was shockingly dry for the amount of queso on it, even the queso was dry. We eat it because we’re hungry and are both hate returning food. I get half way through and see a pretty large skin of some red vegetable. There is no mention of anything in the rice so I assume maybe it’s a bell pepper but go ahead and stop eating to be safe and I was feeling okay. We get the check and start heading out and I’m feeling a headache come on. It’s been a long day so whatever. We get in the car and start driving and my throat and sinuses start feeling really uncomfy and swollen. We call the restaurant and ask if there’s tomatoes in the rice. They say yes. MAKE SURE TO ASK WHAT IS IN EVERY ITEM. I have never been to a Mexican restaurant or a restaurant in general that doesn’t specify what is in the food. The waitress had even heard me mention the tomato allergy and didn’t say anything to me about rice having tomatoes in it. We spent $42 for crap food and an allergic reaction. Do not recommend at all. Taco Bell has more authentic Mexican food than this place. It all seemed like prepackaged stuff heated up

We had the Steak and Fajitas and tacos. The steak was tender the shimp was great, and the tacos was very good. The waiter/bartender was very professional and attentive. I will be coming back with out a doubt

Traveling South back home I wanted to find a place that wasn't your average fast food. These guys have a drive-thru and they're quick but this is not fast food. I got the big boy burrito which I added a picture of here, My only complaint is it is not driver friendly so you'll want to dine in or eat parked. (It's messy, not easily one-handed) My favorite thing was getting the sweet plantains which were made so perfectly and came with a sweet cream all for $2.99!! In all for just under $20 I got a really good meal really fast and will be going back!

Surprise located in in access off highway. Best waitress in Georgia (pictured) great beer selection and good food with large portions. Highly recommend!!

This place is so cute. The tables tops a custom painted with cute sayings. The murals through out are beautiful. The light fixtures are magical. The food is delicious. The staff is wonderful. I can't wait to go back!

A great little Mexican joint! Just a couple of tourists who stopped here towards the end of the evening for dinner and a few drinks. A couple of patrons were there when we arrived but it wasn't very busy. We ordered one of their burritos and two tacos; 1 fish and 1bshrimp. The food was amazingly delicious the portions were generous, drinks were solid pours, the pricing was wallet friendly, and the staff were super friendly and very accommodating. What more could you ask for? I'll stop by anytime we're in the area!!!

To the owner only.... Wed, 1/31, 3pm, Brunswick store. It is a shame that you have expensive, real estate and excellent equipment in this facility with a manager and wait staff that are so clueless. I am a very good tipper since I'm in the service business myself. But this experience was pretty lame. The store was empty except for me. And they forgot to cook my order which was just putting together some tacos. Sorry but the buck stops with you.

I was super disappointed in the portion sizes for the price. We ordered a fiesta bowl for 699 and added steak for an additional 350. We came out with a small bowl. The churro’s were 554 just a few half pieces and there were a total of five tortilla chips. Our total was $19 plus a three dollar tip that barely fed my son.
