Las Tortugas - Memphis

Very good food, but not sure it’s a do over for us. Tasty, but wow, the prices are in line with what you get. $88 for a family of six, three kids had cheese quesadillas, no drinks. The guacamole was very different, creamy, with a spice. Very nice touch. The tortilla chips are cut small and made from flour tortillas. 4 stars on quality and flavor, 1 star deduction for the pricing. Had to take the kids to Chick-fil-A after spending $88…

I never expected to find the best tacos of my life in Memphis, Tennessee—but I did! Pepe, the owner, was incredibly kind and attentive. I tried the shrimp tacos along with a side of corn, and it was simply fantastic. I would rate it a perfect 10/10. Thank you, Pepe!

My first time to the new location (or one of the new locations), and it was really nice inside. It looks similar to the Germantown one and is a very bright and inviting decor. The food is every bit as good as you'd expect from Las Tortugas Deli Mexican, and if you haven't tried it before you really need to. This is a whole other level of Mexican food. It's fresh and tasty without a single refried bean in sight!

We ordered the street corn, which we highly recommend. We also had steak tacos and shrimp tacos, although we weren't entirely sure if we ordered them from the menu. Pepe suggested we tell him our preferences, and he would create something we would love. Don't miss out on the Mango and Lemon drinks; they're highly recommended as well! For dessert, we tried the fried cheese, but unfortunately, it wasn't to our taste. It was beautifully presented and had nice spices, but we didn't enjoy the hard, crisp texture. At $10, it felt a bit pricey, and we expected a softer fried cheese rather than a crispy cheese snack. However, it might work well crumbled over a salad. Overall, Pepe gets 5 stars, while the food gets 3.5 stars.

Tried multiple dishes and all were good, especially liked the flautas. More authentic than most places I’ve had in the Memphis area. A little more expensive than you would expect but don’t let that keep you away, you’re getting better Mexican food than most other local places.
