Las Tortugas Deli Mexicana

My husband said the de pollo tacos are good. I always take risks and got the Mexico City hotdog . Aside from the bun , it was like a mix of veggies and diced steak . We also got elote . It was all good.

Food is delicious & fresh. I'm never let down when I eat here. Service is friendly . Owner is very personable. Fish tacos , quesadillas , mango juice . delicious. I also love their guacamole and chips

Most authentic and delicious Mexican in the 901. They source all of their meat and fruits/vegetables (fresh daily) locally. I can personally vouch for the fish tacos and BBQ carnitas .

You can't go wrong. Tortugas were amazing. Got the Alaskan King Crab special, guacamole and Elote to start, Tesote to drink. Best Mexican food I've ever had, hands down.

Simply the best Mexican in town bar none. Friendly service and everything is sourced fresh daily by the owners. Try the filet mignon tortuga. This place is truly a jewel in East Memphis .

If you don't get the huachinango (red snapper sandwich ), you're not living your life to the fullest. See for yourself. You'll be hooked. And that fruit & mint tea is the muthafuckin bomb diggity bomb.

Pollo en Mole Poblano - chicken with chocolate sauce on tacos served on a plate with garnishes and presentation "as pretty as a floral bouquet ," says Michael Donahue from The Commercial Appeal. Read more

One of my favorite places to eat when I travel to the Memphis area. Outstanding food and service!

Very friendly people and delicious, authentic Mexican food , but expensive . Good place to go for a treat.

Authentic Mexican. No cheese . Excellent tacos . Locally sourced ingredients

Best Mexican sandwiches around. The elote , guacamole , tortugas, tacos ... It's all great and fresh.

Some of the best chicken tortilla soup ! Great for lunch and all fresh ingredients . Be sure to speak to "Pepe" !

Absolute best Mexican food I've ever eaten. Farm fresh meat eggs and cheese Get the tilapia sandwich and you can not walk out without trying the guacamole

If you get a chance to talk to the owner, do it. He is so passionate about what he does! Its obvious in the food, but still.. talk to him!

Hands down the best tamales in Memphis ! They have a variety & it does vary from day to day, but you can't go wrong with any of them!

The owners are from Mexico City . The queso fundido is awesome. Be patient by the time you order and get your food there is usually a seat open unless someone is saving seats before they order...

Don't forget about the specials board on the wall next to the cash register. It has more dishes in addition to the regular menu.

Chorizo tacos are off the chain! If the zombie apocalypse happens I'm coming here for my last meal.

Best Mexican I've ever had in Memphis . Makes me never want to go anywhere else ever again

If you don't know what to get, ask for a recommendation. The owners have never steered me wrong. Try an agua fresca too! Read more

Get the Tesote and the elote ! Amazing. Best Mexican food I've ever had!

The chicken tortilla soup is the best soup I have ever had! Get it, you won't be disappointed!

If you are on a budget the Molletes are so good and the portions are big.

Awesome. Awesome. One of, if not the best food outside of Mexico.

Best Mexican in town ! Try the brisket tacos ????

There isn't much seating, so come in between lunch and dinner for the fastest service. Don't leave without trying the elote .

Fresh guacamole , spicy shrimp tortuga , and limeade = deliciousness! The corn is also amazing. It's best to come hungry!

Try the gulf shrimp tortuga . At $18.95 it seems expensive , but it's worth every penny. 10 oz of good sized shrimp , dressed perfectly.

Treat yourself to the most refreshing tea in Memphis - Tesote - and the steamed corn . Personal favorites.

One of the best Mexican restaurants anywhere. Never had a food delivery : everything sourced by owners fresh. The Horchata is amazing.

Ask for tanga chicken on the chicken tacos for a little spice!

The best!!! Fresh, healthy, and ALWAYS GREAT

Amazing chips Amazing guacamole . Amazing limeade . Amazing brisket . Amazing!!!

If you can spare $4.50 for their hand-crafted Mexican iced tea , you won't regret it. Yummm

Get the ice tea !

I love Las Tortugas elephant ears!

The Mollettes with chicken is delicious.

Must get the Corn . Amazing.

Closes at 8, get there about 30 min ahead of time so you can sit down to eat

Oh, the guacamole ! And ask for the special tea .
