Budda Cafe

Beautiful location, directly at the water with a view of the sunset (if you can speak of a sunset). Ambience is great, relaxing chairs and couches, as well as relaxing ambient music on the background. Cocktails are truly delicious and refreshing, at least the few that I've had. The service is friendly and relatively quick. Food was also great. I would suggest the brownie con helado for dessert.

Very nice restaurant direct at the water. The Stuff is really nice and the food and drinks are also delicious. We went here 3 times while our stay in Tortuguero!

I wish I could give less than half a star. We had a really disappointing experience at this place. From the moment we walked in, we were treated like we were unwelcome. The host — who seemed to be the owner or manager — was shockingly rude. Despite the restaurant being 80% empty, she denied us a table. We politely asked for takeout instead, and while we waited for our food, she told us not to sit at any table and to either stand or go outside. Seriously? We weren’t begging — we were paying customers, and we were respectful throughout. What made it worse was that other people were still coming in and being seated just fine. It was very clear that she had some sort of issue with us, and she didn’t even try to hide it. Her attitude made us feel small and unwelcome — like we were asking her for a favor, not buying a meal. We will never go back. A place where guests are treated like a burden has no business calling itself “Buddha Cafe.” Honestly, they should rename it to “Bad Cafe.”

I walked in with my wife and family right off the bat, we were not treated very well because my wife had a bathing suit we were asked to put on the T-shirt which she did and I believe the owner told us that we can only use the tables in the middle if we’re gonna eat if not, we can use other tables to drink coffee using a strong voice not very welcoming. We as a family did not feel welcome. That’s not the way to treat your customers.

By far our favourite place in Tortugero. Beautiful sunset view, delicious food and very good cocktails.

Nice place to have dinner, with views to Tortuguero canal. Our food (burger and vegan bowl) was very delicious! Good cocktails too.

Very nasty attitude. Maybe they are racist. The owner has a very bad attitude . Her own employee said that the owner is crazy

Ate here 3 times. A nice italian open to air restaurant by the river. -Menu is outside door -Seats by river or table dinning or cushion couches. -Service is fast and friendly. -1st order was a hamburger and fries, hamburger with no cheese, and it was very very good. Fries were good and tasted a bit like olive oil. -2nd was a peperoni pizza, and i asked to get hot peppers added or substituted for the onions, and the waitress said ok, but it came as normal peperoni pizza. -3rd order was just plain spaghetti and tomato sauce take out to eat at hotel. -You pay and get check at the counter when you exit, not at table. -Prices are a little higher here then some other restaurants in town Overall a good restaurant, good food and service *Like this review below if the info helps*
