La Tortuga

Love the Authentic Mexican food flavor. Prices are affordable and I can take my family here to eat.

Can we seriously talk about how awesome this establishment is!?! An amazingly full menu, there are tortas, tacos and tortillas! It's a bright oasis on an otherwise dreary highway 99. There are so many little taco joints all around Everett, I feel this is a place that deserves a try.Once you walk through the door, you are greeted by a brightly lit feast feast for the eyes! The first thing I noticed was the display of packaged treats, which included cookies, and snacks and chips from the owner's home region. Those cookies always call to me, "we want in your belly."I got a bit off-track talking about cookies (a squirrel moment brought to you by mah belly). So, let's get back on track! The menu has a HUGE selection of tortas, with selections as simple as ham and cheese to the festival in the mouth Cubano. But, there are also a very generous selection of tacos, burritos, flautas and so much more.I want to feature the most recent handful of heaven I recently ordered. It was called a Chilanga Torta! It delivered! I have an onion allergy, so I skipped those, and also skipped the avacado, because I think they're icky (personal preference; I'm not making any kind of statement about this establishment's avacados). Everything was excellent, from the bread to the perfectly cut hot dog sausages. A literal fiesta in my mouth! I definitely have a Torta addiction that I shall feed with these pockets of perfection!!

Always great service. Super helpful & I love that its affordable and a lot of options. From fruit to tacos to tortas, everything is delicious and authentic top tier

Just skip all together I'm telling you... shouldn't even be associated with tortas. No Flavor... foreign looking hard meat.... Like be Forreal, y'all are embarrassing. Take is from my experience, just NO

1) The quesadillas are better than the tacos IMO; I think they might be the specialty dishes.2) It's the only Mexican joint I know of around here with huitlacoche on the menu.3) I'm not an expert on menudo, but I enjoyed it very much. The tripe (not to be confused with tripas) wasn't gamey and the tendons were so good in that spicy broth! The broth was a bit too spicy, though, for me.4) The tacos de tripas were OK. They are the crispy kind, which some of you love; I prefer the slightly crispy tripas, so...

This was suggested by a painter we hired, and it was right on the money for my craving of tacos al pastor.The flavor, the right amount of pineapple, and served fresh and hot with excellent tortilla, it was delicious!If I am around Everett or Lynwood, I will definitely be revisiting to try out the other stuff.

Very authentic Mexican food. I love their quesadillas de chicharron. As well as their tacos al pastor. Another favorite is their chilaquiles which come with egg, asada meat , rice and beans. The portion is quiet big so we share it-its enough for three people. So yummy fresh and tasty. Every item we have tried we have liked. They also have a side for goodies like esquites(corn) chips with different toppings. Jell o and so much more. I would definitely say try their corn tamales they are soft and super delicious. All the staff is always kind and very attentive they bring the food to you and always check if you need anything.

Two words: HUITLACOCHE QUESADILLA. This is the *only* place I know of that serves huitlacoche, a black fungus found on corn that tastes a bit like mushrooms. I had all but given up on finding huitlacoche in Washington. The last time I had it was YEARS ago during a trip to Reno where my husband introduced it to me. Imagine my surprise when we were at the counter and i heard him order a huitlacoche quesadilla! I ordered 2 chicken flautas (you can choose 3 if you like) and we both got a champurrado. (Champurrado is also not always easy to find.) As others have mentioned, this place has an extensive menu and there's also a separate part of the restaurant that serves fruit, juices, and batidos/liquados. It always seems to be busy with families and workers who stop in for meals. The workers are friendly and their food is well made. The huitlacoche is delicious, umami goodness, and the flautas are perfectly crunchy on a bed of shredded lettuce and sour cream. I wasn't as impressed by the champurrado because it was a bit on the thin side, but I'd still buy it for a champurrado fix on a cold day!

I come here at least once a week for my freshly squeezed clean juice. Always fresh and great service

Worst place ever don't recommend I know why it's called la tortuga Super slow And rude service Not worth your money Go to tia letty ! Best spot in town
