    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...

    Tortas mexicana and tacos al pastor. We took half home. So good!

    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.

    Banana and chocolate smoothie!!   Very good!

    If you want a good Torta; this is the place to go. Place is busy on the weekend so expect to wait a bit. Good service and fair prices. I would recommend this place to Mexican food lovers. Food here is 100% authentic.

    This is such a great find. The family that own and run the restaurant are the sweetest people, and the food is so fresh and yummy! I had the crazy turtle torta, which was huge. And now you can get their food delivered! Check out https://food.dashingdrivers.com/order/restaurant/la-tortuga-loca/18.

    My first time here...and I'm impressed with the DIY salad bar--37 ingredients and 8 dressings !…read more(See the pics) There are two sized foam containers, suitable for eating inside or taking out. Self-serve was easy---make your salad and weigh it at the register. My large tray salad (see pic) was $17.21. It was two meals worth! The ingredients were all very fresh with a few spectacular choices--crumbled blue cheese, artichoke hearts, diced red pepper, cubed ham, roasted chicken, hard-boiled eggs, pickled beets, Kalamata olives, and sweet pickle chips. I love blue cheese dressing, especially when I can choose the amount. Dilly's is a little diluted and lacks garlic, but the crumbled blue cheese made it all work. Also, salt and pepper was needed--if it was there, I didn't see any. But hey, this is the most complete salad bar I've seen in Wenatchee. I also took home a Tuna-Tuna sandwich for Sherrie--she loved it. I think we're hooked! There's a loyalty program--1 Star for every $10 spent, and 50% off next purchase after 10 Stars. (Yes, sales tax is included in the calculation) What's not to like?!?!

    Mission Burgers is Wenatchee's hometown favorite for smashburgers-- typically…read moredouble-meat-double-cheese burgers, with meat patties literally smashed thin and fried on high heat to create a thick, intensely browned bark. It's Burger King on steroids! You won't find tomatoes on the menu board, but almost every other combination of garnish (and companion meats) are options. I went with their stated classic, the "OG Mission" ('original gangster') burger. It is delicious, albeit noticeably greasy, due to the extra-high fat content of the ground beef. But that's where the rich flavor comes from. What Mission Burgers is doing right is highly seasoning the meat with salt and pepper, then punching up the flavor with pickles, red onion, and their special sauce. Add to that the richness of the cheese and the crusty, grilled bun--this is the winning combination at the base of all their other burger options. The other thing I really appreciate is, their straightforward pricing without trying to upsell their ingredients. The add-ons are inexpensive--slice of cheddar is $.50 compared to EZ's $1.47 for the same. Two suggestions: - drain the grease off the patties before assembly, - don't fold the wrapper in half... wrap the burger in a full sheet, stronger paper if necessary, keep it from leaking all over clothing. (I'll be back to check! :-) Otherwise, this is a 5-Star burger! (see the menu board pic attached for all the other options, including chicken)

    This was my first trip here after wanting to go here for some time. Parking was very limited on a…read moreFriday @ noon, not too many parking spots available. Was able to order quickly at the counter and food arrived within 10 minutes. There is both indoor and outdoor seating, but it was already too warm to sit outside and eat hot food, unless you like that kind of thing! I ordered the 3-meat combo plate with pulled pork, brisket burnt ends and baby back ribs. Sides I picked were coleslaw and elote. Meal also came with a corn muffin. The highlights: Brisket burnt ends were tender with good bark and had nice flavor. The pulled pork was also very tasty and tender. Sauce was nicely balanced (they even sell it if you want some to go). Corn muffin was light, fluffy and delicious, not too sweet and the honey butter had some cinnamon in it which turned out to be a winner in my book. The "room for improvement" came with the ribs, elote and the coleslaw. The ribs were a bit disappointing. They were a tad dry and overwhelmingly smoky in flavor. I was looking for the succulent, fall-off-the-bone kind of rib with a delicious rub perhaps. As for the coleslaw, it was honestly very bland. No tang, no sweet, no distinct flavor. Needed a little salt too. The elote was a nice idea but the corn lost all its moisture (sat in dry heat too long?) and was kind of shriveled upon arrival. The toppings were good, but I was hoping for juicy, spits-in-your-eye kind of corn. All in all, I would definitely go back. It's hard to judge a place like this off one visit and the food I did like, I would return for.

We chose the pork butt burnt ends and baby back ribs with sides of Mac n Cheese and hush puppies. There's also a choice of sauce with varying heat level. The meat was super tender, fall off the bone moist. A bit greasy but great smoky taste. We also added for up charge of $2 brisket burnt ends and onion rings each. The fried pickles ($8.95) was nice and crispy. The kids meal ($9.95) came with 6 mini corn dogs, fries and choice of beverage. Get the Gouda Mac-n-cheese-- it's so good! Fyi- there's a 3% credit card charge.

Today was our second visit but the first to include food. We are in town for the week and stopped by for coffee three days ago and bantered a bit with the woman working the counter whose name we found out today is Amber. She's so awesome! I hope that business knows just how amazing she is and treats her accordingly. That first day we only ordered coffee and really liked it and the banter lifted us up a bit so that was cool. Today we went in for breakfast and coffee. She remembered us and everything unique about that first encounter. It was a good feeling after a crazy few days so that was wonderful. We also met Hannah who made the excellent coffees we had. We ordered a croque monsieur with an egg on top, a beirock (not sure I'm spelling that right), quiche and a morning bun. Everything was delicious! The beirock had eggs, cheese and bacon in it in a fully closed bun. That bun had such a good flavor that I would only order that next time. The quiche was creamy and smooth but the crust wasn't good. Our daughter who lives here and loves this place, especially their quiche (she says it's better than mine, lol) says the crust usually isn't as bad as it was today. For me, it tasted like it was microwaved (and maybe it was) and that taste and texture is not good. The filling was so tasty though. The morning bun was delicious. I don't normally love sweets for breakfast but it was yummy. The croque was fan-frickin-tastic and while Randy says he's had one that's better, it's not much better and he absolutely loved it. We all had tastes of it and loved it. We will absolutely be back next time we're in town and recommend you try this place out too. If you do, please tell Amber Bobo, Coco and Momo say HI!

Food was fine but my disappointment was that what I got was nothing like the photo that was posted online. I was expecting full pieces of smoked salmon on top of my bagel and some capers. But all I got was a premixed cream cheese with small chunks of salmon and no capers... and for $13.50? That's very pricy for what you're actually getting - a bagel and schmear. Maybe removing old pictures or updating the description would be helpful.

We ordered the: - Belgian Dürüm Wrap (5s) - Bacon-Mushroom Döner (4s) - Feta (French) Fries (3s) The Belgian Dürüm Wrap was the star of the show--fresh ingredients with lots of crunch in each bite, nicely wrapped so as not to spill or leak. The Bacon-Mushroom Döner was a sandwich with enough sauce to leak all over. The flavor was complex and fresh, and all the food groups were represented. But there wasn't a distinguishing flavor-forward identity. It was a vegetable sandwich with bacon. I'm not complaining, it was good. But the wrapping did not keep ingredients and sauce from falling out on my clothing. Still, I give it the benefit of the doubt. The FFF (Feta French Fries) were the biggest challenge for me because: [Hot Fries+Cold Garnish=Cold Fries]. Maybe this combination is popular in Germany or Turkey, I wouldn't think it's popular in the US. I could have finished it, but chose not to. I'm looking forward next time to the more traditional menu items, like the Turkish Rice dishes.

Food- 2 Gyros lamb and beef. All toppings. Nothing special seemed like the regular sandwich. Didn't come with anything extra, we did ask for water but never received any. Our order? $33.84 including tip. After asking about other drinks and what was behind the restaurant he said he could get beer, the friend didn't drink beer so offered Margs. $23.45-including another tip!!! Margs were tart. Sandwich was tasty and filling but for 2 gyro and 2 margs in a little dive$56 including a tip was not worth my money. It's a no for me.
