“This was my first food truck visit in the city, and it was a great experience overall. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and I appreciated that they gave out buzzers so you could relax in your car while waiting for your order!

I came mainly for the Birria Tacos with the dipping sauce. Unfortunately, they were a bit of a letdown this time, very mild in flavor, even with the sauce. It almost seemed like the seasoning was forgotten, and the shells, though fried, had become somewhat soggy by the time I received them. Hopefully, that was just an off day because I really wanted to love them.

On the bright side, the Chicken Quesadilla was fantastic! Perfectly seasoned, hearty, and packed with flavor it completely made the visit worth it. I’ll definitely be coming back to give the Birria Tacos another shot and will update my review after I do.

Service: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (10/10)“

“I had such an outstanding experience at Las Tortugas that I had to share a full review. From the moment I walked in, the warm greeting and colorful, inviting atmosphere made me feel instantly comfortable. The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care that every guest was having a great time. They checked in often enough to be helpful without ever making me feel rushed.

The highlight, without question, was the tacos. They were absolutely phenomenal—fresh, perfectly seasoned, and packed with flavor in every bite. You can tell the ingredients are high quality and prepared with real pride. The tortillas had that warm, soft, homemade feel, and each taco had a great balance of textures and toppings. The chips and salsa were just as impressive, with crispy chips and a salsa that tasted bright, fresh, and made in-house.

I also ordered a cold beer, and it paired perfectly with the meal. It was refreshing, crisp, and served at just the right temperature—simple, but exactly what I wanted to enjoy with great tacos. Everything about Las Tortugas feels thoughtful, clean, and well-run.

This is the kind of restaurant you immediately want to return to, whether for a quick meal or a relaxed night out. Highly recommended to anyone who loves truly great tacos!“
