You get three salsas off the menu to try. We got the zucchini salsa, Caribbean mango salsa, and house tomato salsa. The price is really good for it too! We also loved the chips here! They were very fresh. The portions are large. ‍ This restaurant is pricey, but I feel like it is worth if for what you get. The environment is a lot of fun too. Our server was very kind and attentive to our needs. I would come back again!

They brought out complimentary chips and salsa--definitely a highlight. The chips were seasoned (not your typical plain chips), and paired really well with the salsa. Super flavorful! For drinks, I ordered the Tornado Jumbo, and my husband got a Tornado with Hennessy added. Both were really good. I especially liked that each layer had a distinct flavor--some places make colorful drinks that all taste the same, but that wasn't the case here. We ordered a single order of steak, chicken, and shrimp fajitas. While the flavor was good, it did feel a bit heavy on the vegetables and a little light on the meat. When the dish first came out, it included bacon, which we weren't expecting and don't eat. However, the staff handled it well--they apologized and quickly remade it without any issue. Great customer service there. Even with the single order, we were able to make about five tacos, which was nice. My daughter ordered the kids' cheese pizza with a side option (fries or rice and beans). The pizza was similar to a frozen-style pizza, and she didn't care for it, but she did enjoy the chips, rice, and beans. Overall, I've been wanting to try this place since we're in the area often, and I'm glad we did. The menu is extensive, and there are plenty of options to come back and try. Our waitress was also very nice and attentive throughout our visit. I would definitely return!

I had a very unfortunate experience at Los Cabos in Germantown yesterday. Some of the food was…read moreoverall pretty good, but I tried chicken cheese and rice dish with Diablo sauce and when I got it, the chicken tasted fishy actually. I asked the waitress if I could send it back and get something else and she said that was fine. I decided after having already had some of their shrimp cocktail and cheese dip not to order anything else. When I got the check, I saw that that dish that I barely took one bite of and sent back was still on the check. I asked her if I could get that taken off since I didn't eat it, and the waitress went and asked the manager and she refuses to take it off. I feel like this is bad customer service and I was quite surprised that they still charged me for a dish I did not eat. I've never had that happen anywhere. No discount, no explanation from the manager herself, so that's just poor management.

The service? Absolutely top-tier. The kind of service that makes you feel like you're the main character and everyone there is rooting for your happiness (and your next bite). And let's talk about those sopes... crispy, flavorful, and piled so high with goodness they practically needed their own zip code. I'm pretty sure I had a spiritual experience halfway through. The ambiance was fitting and the seating was comfy and it was nice and cool inside on a hot humid day. 10/10--would risk a food coma again. If you leave here hungry, that's on you.

The restaurant was not overly busy, which made the entire experience relaxed and enjoyable from the moment we walked in. The first thing that stood out was the service. Everyone there was welcoming, patient, and genuinely friendly. Since it was our first time trying a few things on the menu, we had several questions, and the staff took the time to explain everything without making us feel rushed. They gave recommendations, explained the toppings and flavors, and helped make ordering easy. I decided to try the specialty hot dogs, and honestly, they were amazing. They were packed with flavor and loaded with fresh toppings that worked perfectly together. The combination of creamy avocado, fresh vegetables, sauces, and perfectly cooked meat created a unique flavor that was both fresh and filling. Every bite had something different going on, and you could tell the ingredients were high quality and made with care. The presentation alone looked incredible, but the taste backed it up completely. The atmosphere was comfortable and casual, making it a great place to sit down and enjoy good food with family or friends. Nothing felt rushed, and the overall vibe made the experience even better. If you are looking for something different from the usual restaurant options and want flavorful food with friendly service, Las Tortugas is definitely worth visiting. We will absolutely be coming back again.

3.5, I think? This was a tough one for me to rate…read more My aunt lives near Las Tortugas and I've been reading about and thinking about visiting for years whenever I'm in the Memphis area. The stars aligned on this most recent visit and so I got to try them. This location in Germantown is a little easy to miss signage-wise, but Google Maps got me here easily. The parking lot is small but paved nicely and easy to navigate. The inside of the restaurant does feel like a deli, with a counter to order at and a small but reasonable amount of seating. The restaurant's accolades are plastered on walls and the glass windows around the food prep area and it's fun to read the history and writing about this place. There is one semi-essay seemingly from the owner, directed at patrons, grousing about customers having certain expectations about the food they're served (Tex-Mex versus authentic Mexican, for example). The owner is adamant that authentic Mexican is served here, and I have no reason to doubt that at all nor expect anything different, but I must admit the tone was rather off-putting. I can see how it would be frustrating to have your food, your work, be misunderstood or misinterpreted, but it kind of felt like I was being lectured when I hadn't done anything, lol. At any rate, I walked up to the counter to order. Service was adequately if not /especially/ friendly. I placed an order for a sandwich (Tortugas de pollo) as well as a limonada (fresh-squeezed limeade) to go. I waited at one of the tables and my order was ready for me in a reasonable amount of time. My favorite thing was the limonada! It had closer to an Icee texture than a juice or limeade texture but I really liked it. Pleasantly sweet and sour and very refreshing. The sandwich was good if not mind-blowing. Maybe my expectations were just a little too high. One problem was that it got pretty soggy very, very fast - it took me less than 10 minutes to get back to my aunt's house and unbox my food and in that time, the bottom piece of bread on my sandwich was close to falling apart. Some of the chicken was also a little too strong-tasting for me; it's hard to describe but I imagine we've all had chicken that's a little too obviously...well, chicken, lol. Not super mild tasting meat, I guess is what I'm trying to say. That aside, I enjoyed the texture of the cheese and the heat of the peppers. The top slice of bread was also nice and crusty. The sandwich came served with a handful of chips less generous than it appears in the photo and some green salsa. The chips were a little over-fried for me but decent enough, and the subtly spicy salsa went well with them. I think the greatest sticking point for me is the price vs. the quantity of food vs. the relative enjoyment. My meal was a solid bit over $30. I prooooobably could've split the sandwich with someone else and been okay, but given the relatively paltry amount of chips, I was also okay eating it as a solo diner. I think if the price had been a little lower, or the portion of chips a little bigger, or the enjoyment of the sandwich a little greater - any one of those things - this would probably round up to a 4. But ultimately the sticker shock and somewhat condescending vibes lead to a lower rating from me. Idk, I would definitely say this restaurant is worth a try and I'm glad I experienced it and would recommend trying it to others who enjoy this type of Mexican food. That said, I'm also not completely confident I'd return on another visit to Memphis. Well, okay, I would definitely for the limonada. That thing was awesome. ;)
