Las Tortugas Taqueria

Have been ordering from Las Tortugars For YEARS now. Since back when they used to be in the old location on Van Dyke. This is one the best authentic Mexican restaurants you can find Shelby Twp! My go to order is always the Al Pastor tacos, and they never cease to be amazing. Highly recommend.

We visited Las Tortugas Taqueria on our impromptu day date and popped in for their happy hour specials. The place was cute and the waitress was fast and friendly. We were wanting to try the food for awhile and were pretty excited.When we sat down, the waitress asked if we wanted chips as salad to which we replied sure, unaware there was a charge for it. It was $4, which isn't a big deal but should have been expressed to us first.They gave a ton if meats to choose from for your tacos. We ordered a variety to try and just weren't overly impressed. Almost all of the meat was overcooked and the flavors were just okay.Overall it was a mediocre experience and sadly we probably won't return.

Friend recommend us to go here for dinner. Was my first time here and looked up the reviews first to see what everyone else said.Maybe I didn't order the right item but I got the Birria Tacos and wasn't too impressed. The tacos were good but the dip wasn't that flavorful.The service that night was also very slow. Although everyone was nice it was hard to get any help since everyone was so busy.

A great variety of authentic Mexican food. The tacos and salsa were especially delicious. But, I am disappointed the chips and salsa cost extra. And, the price of most items didn't warrant the portion size. Also the lack of a drop ceiling makes the restaurant noise very loud.

Our good friend suggested that we do dindin here before going to see my cousin's concert. I'm extremely fond of places like these, so I was immediately excited when I found out.I got myself the the Nopales just because I've been on some kind of a plant based trip lately. If you're not about bitter vegetables, please stay clear because it's giving exactly that. I'd give it an 8.5 out of 10. The place was dope, the service very good and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes a good Mexican joint. My husband also enjoyed his tacos btw. He had two meat tacos and a fish. So yea, there's that.Thank you so much for reading my review. I hope this helps with your decision making experience. Enjoy your awesome yelptastic day!!!

Goat birria amazing. Enchiladas good. Guac ok. Good service! Chips and salsa nice but come with a cost. Margarita Drinks delicious! Nice neighborhood spot. Lots of parking. Good quality tequila.

This place was cute and if I lived closer I would definitely be a regular. I only had chips and salsa (which are not free, they cost $4) and a margarita, but my husband had the elote and said it was good

This is far closer to authentic Mexican fare than most American TexMex restaurants go for. Now this was for lunch but no chips and salsa. Our server Hailey was delightful. I feel they cook from scratch as it is a little long before the food comes out. I had the enchiladas that I thought we ok, nothing special and could have been hotter (temperature not spice) and I thought they were okay but just that. Nice and clean, full bar, will probably go back but Mexican two days running is a bit much, it will have to wait.

Tried this place last weekend for my birthday with some friends and they were pretty busy on Saturday evening. We put our name on the list and didn't have to wait too long at all. Our server was very nice although it did seem like they could have used another server or two because it did take a while for her to come back some times. When we ordered drinks, I picked the ghost margarita but unfortunately they couldn't make that so I asked for a regular margarita with jalapenos which probably took another 10+ minutes to arrive. Our server said the bartender was being difficult which is unfortunate but our server was doing the best she could and was sweet throughout the dinner. I do wish the chips and salsa were complementary but we still ordered them and a side of queso and chorizo so we could mix it together and it was delicious. I would definitely recommend! We also tried the Nopales (grilled catcus, onions tomatoes with tortillas) and I would probably skip that the next time. The texture of the cactus just wasn't for me. My friends ordered the eletric margarita, which again I would highly recommend skipping if you don't like a sugary margarita where you can't even taste the tequila. It almost seemed like cool aid. They ended ordering the spicy margarita for their second drink like me, which was excellent, highly recommend just wish I could have tried the ghost one. For dinner we mostly got tacos and I really liked the asada and the al pastor. The al pastor was cooked to perfection and full of flavor. I would skip the fried fish next time, it was heavy on the batter and the coleslaw was just too much for me. My friend really liked his beef tongue taco my other friend really liked her tostada. I would definitely go back and avoid some things but definitely try some more tacos. We also got the rice and beans which were ok but I wish I would have got a 4th taco instead. Also since it was my birthday celebration they came out with a fried ice cream with a sparkler and were singing with maracas. It was super embarrassing but cool at the same time. The fried ice cream was really good and liked the coconut on it. Definitely check them out!

Without a doubt the best Mexican food next to my mom's home-cooked food! This very well could top her food!For starters, the staff is amazing. They have a very nice bar section with lots of tequila to choose from. I came here for my 23rd birthday, and I would have to say that the experience was the best. They came out with a birthday treat and sang to me as well.The large platter is everything you can ask for. The price may seem alarming, but I can promise you that you will get enough food to feed a small village! You get a whole load of steak, chicken, shrimp, jalapeño poppers, sausages, tortillas, rice, beans, and much more. It is worth every penny because it is so delicious and the service is top notch. Overall, if you want some of the best Mexican food on the East side of Michigan, then this is your spot. It could easily compete with the restaurants down in Mexican Town (SW Detroit). I can promise you that your experience will be full of flavor and fun times!
