I discovered La Tortuga Loca #2 in Cashmere first, then followed up with this (the original) location, this week. True to form, both restaurants share the same menu exactly (except the front covers addresses). This, the original, has recently relocated from a block south on the other side of the same street (Mission Ave). The highlight of the two "Tortuga Locas" is their barbacoa beef (chopped beef in the Mexico City slow-roasted style), available in their street tacos, crispy tacos, and enchiladas. Also available are "micheladas" (Latin America's version of a Bloody Mary, using beer instead of vodka). Oh my, what a refreshing drink...almost twice the size of a 12oz beer, in a huge frosted mug! I ordered the "3 Tacos w/ Frijoles Charros" (see menu), and a Modelo light, before learning they have Micheladas. The new location is only a couple months old, but all the furnishings are in place, and a statue of Mexico's version of Charlie Tuna stands in the lobby. The restaurant has the feel of Olvera Street in Los Angeles in the 60s... I felt right at home! 5-Stars for Barbacoa street tacos... and a michelada! read more

This is for the location in Wenatchee. The venue is small, but with plenty of seating. The staff there are friendly and welcoming upon arrival. Our server answered some questions about the difference between the enchiladas and the flautas (fried tortilla, same toppings) I ordered the enchiladas with pollo, and asked for no onions. The plate was presented well, and the enchiladas were sauced, but not too much- and topped with fresh tomato, queso fresco, lettuce and crema. Perfect. Just like the ones I grew up with. My husband ordered the gordita with carne asada. He enjoyed the masa and how it is prepared with a layer of cheese and then filled with the meat, lettuce, tomato, crema and queso. He added nopales this time. We also ordered chips and salsa. They are not complimentary; but that's because they prepare them as your order them. The corn tortillas are fresh fried and served immediately, which means you get a warm, crispy chip to enjoy with fresh salsa. Worth every penny. Do it. And that drink, a mango margarita- blended is the perfect way to end a work day. Cold, sweet, spicy and delish. Salud! read more

La Tortuga Loca - $6 Margaritas - Mexican Near Me - Wenatchee, Washington

Friendly waiter with pretty quick service. The prices are very good and reasonable. They do not offer complimentary chips and salsa which seemed a little odd since every other Mexican restaurant does. They also didn't have guacamole but they did have fresh avocados slices. My husband ordered the tacos and he liked them. I got the asada fries which were pretty good too. The flavor was good even though some of the carne asada seemed to be a small left over pieces and dry. The portion size was decent and I couldn't finish it. The blended strawberry margarita was the best part! Excellent. read more

La Tortuga Loca - Best customer service yum yum - Mexican Near Me - Wenatchee, Washington

I travel in Latin America a lot and this place just about comes with a passport stamp. Best Shrimp tacos I have ever had. Get the Gordita too. Fantastic!!!! read more

Could not pass by this place again. It's not near where we stay in Apple Country, but it's on the way home. Grabbed a big to-go order, knowing we'd enjoy it when we got back (2 1/2-hour drive). It's tricky to get to their location--regardless--it was worth the effort. They are not your hermano's tortas, Sonny Jim. They're a few dollars more than you may be used to, but they are massive. Let me put it this way....you'd crawl over glass for one at 2AM, after a slovenly night. Great job with street tacos and enchiladas ordered, as well. And their salsa rojo had such a nice, smokey kick that I'd pay for a pint of it right now if I could. Very nice Señor took care of us. Passing by the Crazy Turtle is no more for this familia... read more

Good place for Mexican food, many dishes to choice, few drinks, and clean room staff friendly

Being from Californiani was kinda hesitant on coming here because so far Mexican restaurants here I Wenatchee aren't that good but oh man I Loved their tortas! Definitely recommend. Worth every penny. We ordered tortuga loca and la tortuguita and they were huge! I didn't even finish mine. My kids got the quesadillas con jamón they loved them too! I loved their menu they have a top to choose from. Will definitely be coming here again. And that New menu layout is awesome great job to whoever did them. They sure know what they are doing. Keep up the awesome work. read more

I really like the food but the waitress service was terrible I had ordered a torta with a certain meat and they brought me a torta with the wrong meat and I told her " hey this isn't what I ordered I ordered so and so meat" and she responded with "No this is what YOU told me YOU wanted" and then I said "umm no because I don't like this type of meat so why would I order that meat" and then she said " Fine but if you ever do this again we're going too charge you for both items" and then went on a rant on how I was going too be black listed basicallywe just ate and payed and never went back. This was like 4 months ago read more

Hands down the torta mexican and tacos al pastor were the best I've ever tasted! The service was fantastic. Before we left we saw some ceviche, we are going back next date night for some! Fresh made to order food. read more

La Tortuga Loca - Mexican Near Me - Wenatchee, Washington

Friendly service and deep fried ice cream that is EVERYTHING! Got the breaded steak torta and it comes with a pile of jalapeños on the side - so awesome! The torta was good. Not the best I've ever had, but that's because I'm partial to bread that's not as thick, and carne asada meat (not available here) and inclusion of shredded lettuce and more mayo in my torta. Looking at the menu, this restaurant clearly specializes in tortas. There is also a small menu of one kind of tacos, enchiladas and flautas - so something for everyone. There wasn't cabbage salad here (my latest obsession) but was given a recommendation for another restaurant that specializes in it (restaurant is called Ay Caramba). read more

The store is in a hard to get to location just off the bridge but the Tortas here are amazing. All the times I have been here the staff has been friendly. read more

The only place around here that I have encountered that sells tortas! They are amazing!! I tried the Cubana: milanesa, chorizo, ham, sausage, pork. With beans queso fresco, avocado tomatoe and chipotle mayo. It was delicious, to drink we had agua de fresa. It was sweet and delicious. my husband and I are definitely coming back we have found a jewel in wenatchee! We had passed by this place several times but to get to the restaurant is kinda tricky but totally worth it! Our server was Edwin, hes the son of the owners and his customer service is on point. Made us feel like we were at home, and has so much knowledge about the food and were the tortas come from. Def recomend this place!!!!! read more

Brought my family to eat here because we noticed it off the highway and all of us loved our food. We got tortas, tacos, churros, aguas frescas, jugos naturales...it was all very good. Their salsas were also delicious. The staff is extremely helpful and hardworking getting our food out and fast even though they only had one cook and the customers were steadily coming in during Sunday lunch. We will all be coming back when we're in the area, a place to remember!! read more

If you can go, try their ceviche tostada! Oh my goodness, it is insanely delicious!! Small, family owned and operated, and authentic, if you enjoy Mexican food, make this restaurant a stop! read more

Staff was really nice. Food was good. We pretty much tried a little of everything. The smoothies are so good, Real fruit and big! I'm gluten intolerant and they even had enchiladas I could have with homemade corn tortillas. Yum! Nice comfortable atmosphere. Definitely coming back. Prices were great too!!! read more

Such a little Gem of a restaurant! The service is quick and the prices are super affordable. The tortas are spicy, cheesy and very filling. The family atmosphere make this place great for a quick lunch and the kids menu is fairly priced as well. My new favorite sandwich shop. read more

Delicious tortas! I got the Torta Ahogada and it was amazing and incredibly filling. My boyfriend and I walked out of there having spent under $20 and we were both stuffed and satisfied. A great value with friendly staff! read more

Service is excellent. It's family owned. Food was great. We had torta Hawaiian and carnitas tacos al pastor. We will definitely be back. They deliver on orders over $50 for free. It's pretty clean, I would have given them 5 stars but it could be a little cleaner. read more

I think I have found my new favorite place in town! Granted, I didn't think much of it at first. It's in a bad location, kind of hard to get to and in a bad part of town. Wasn't sure what to expect. I was amazed! They have the best, most unique tortas around. They're huge too! The first time, I had to take half home, a rarity for me. So far I've had the Cuban and the Hawaiian. Left happy both times. The place is clean and quiet and the family that owns it are very friendly and inviting. I suggest giving this off the beaten path place a try. The only bad thing is now I crave it all the time! read more

It was very good food. I tried the 4 tacos and a pop for $5. Then finished it off with the deep fried ice cream.

I just ate here for the first time last night and I was first impressed by the superb customer service. The menu is small, but adequate [although they will be expanding with breakfast items] and the torta loca I had was filling and had great flavor. Same with the huge coconut smoothie! Two of us ate dinner [same items] and we had 1/4 left over for each of us for breakfast this morning, all for $22. We'll definitely go there again! read more

You have to try their Horchata or Aguas Frescas!! And the staff is very nice, I would definitely go again!

I really love this place. It is hard to find but worth the time. Their tortas are amazing and I have never had a bad one. The tacos are great too. It's a good thing I don't live here or I would eat here daily. read more

Great Tortas! The bread is nice and thin, and everything is warm and just great overall!

This restaurant is amazing! It's a little hole in a wall/ mom and pap, family owned restaurant. It had so much to choose from besides tortas. It gets busy at times but it is always worth the wait. I recommend! read more

Looks like this location has changed hands yet again. Couldn't help but notice that they painted the building bright green and unlike previous tenants, there were actually cars in the parking lot. I decided to pop in for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. This place isn't a full-on Mexican restaurant (like we need any more of those here) but calls itself a "torteria," i.e. a Mexican sandwich place. At first glance I thought the menu seemed a bit pricey compared to the taco trucks, but then I saw the size of the tortas...these things are massive and the flavors are great. I tried the "Ahogada," a pulled pork sandwich covered in salsa and washed it down with a Mexican Coke (made with real sugar, unlike the corn syrup loaded American equivalent). All the ingredients tasted fresh, I even noticed an employee fresh squeezing juices for their home-made licuados (fresh fruit juice based drinks). Service was friendly and prompt. The waiter was bilingual and fully willing to explain the menu, so don't be afraid to stop by if you "no habla." The only downside is that parking is a bit dicey, lots of cars going in and out of the small lot. I decided to park at the laundromat/video store across the street to avoid the hassle. All in all, a great place to grab a quick bite and a nice alternative if you like Mexican flavors but aren't craving tacos or burritos. This location seems to be cursed since the previous restaurants here seem to last only about a year, but I hope this place makes it. We need more variety for Mexican in this valley. read more
