Tortas Las Tortugas

I love this place the best food and they are so friendly. the only thing I don’t like is they don’t really stay true to their hours they have posted.

food is ok, but they take FOREVER to complete an order. I called in my second order, (thinking I am learning from the first visit) they said it was going to be 15 minutes. I live 10 minutes away. I talked with my neighbor for a few minutes, got gas and drinks at Fred Meyers, showed up and still had to wait almost 10 minutes!

Great food, I’ve eaten here several times since discovering this taco truck a few months ago. Consistently good. I especially enjoy their tacos and burritos. Love their homemade taco sauces! Recommended.

I have been here twice so far since moving to the fife area. It has been so hard to find a legit taco truck. Inform Texas and these are at every corner. This place is legit, best tacos and Mexican street food your gonna find in the local area. The only downfall was the wait time. They’re family owned and only have one cook in a small truck, so your gonna wait a little bit for your food but it’s all worth it. The salsa is homemade and taste delicious in the tacos and tortas. I’ll probably hit this place up once a week.

I’m not entirely sure when this taco truck showed up, but I noticed it about two weeks ago and knew I had to swing by and try a chicken torta, my favorite taco truck food. Today ended up being a perfect opportunity to swing by as my mom had dropped by the house and when I mentioned taco trucks, she said she’d never eaten at/​from one. This could go really well or completely bad.
So we loaded up the car and drove the mile or so to river road and pulled in. With it being fairly cold and windy, no one was around, so we walked right up and started to look at the menu. My girlfriend and I both ordered chicken tortas and since my mom had never had one, she jumped on the bandwagon as well. The lady quickly figured out that she only had two buns, so my mom ordered up a chicken burrito. The lady was short and to the point, not very personable and didn’t seem excited to see us there spending $ 25. We had some time to kill while we waited for the food, which gave me a minute to check the place out. Seating is VERY limited. Most taco trucks I’ve been to have at least one plastic picnic table, but not here. You get three bar stools and the bar that’s attached to the truck. Small selection of drinks (coke, diet coke and some mexican soda I had never seen) and from what I could tell, no hot sauces. I almost feel like this is only a take out place and the stools are only there for you to use while you wait.
So after a few minutes, we were handed a bag with our food inside (two hot sauce cups as well) and we hustled back home to try the goods out. My mom was excited by the smell alone and I was feeling good about this new experience for her.
Once home, we ripped open the bag, found our meals and dug in. If you can see the photos, the size of my moms burrito was insane. She only ate half and is saving the other half for tomorrow. Our tortas were fairly normal sized. Considering the size, I think the price was a little high, but maybe the taste would make up for it. Actually, maybe not. I’ll give this torta a 5 out of 10. For one, I’ve never had a torta with refried beans on it, so that was new. Not bad, but new. There were also onions, not diced onions which I’ve experienced, but onions you might find on a burger, rings and all. The jalapenos were the long/​sliced type, not the little rings or chunks I’m used to seeing. Chicken was tasty and nice, bread was good, tomato tasted good, but didn’t look fresh. The overall taste was a little better than average I suppose, but it’s not what I was expecting at all and I doubt I’ll have another torta from this place. The burrito, which I didn’t try might be worth getting though. My mom loved it and was even into the green hot sauce, which was fairly spicy from what I understand. The orange hot sauce had a very strong carrot taste and while it was kinda spicy, I wasn’t that big of a fan.
So I’ll give this place a ²⁄₅ rating. It wasn’t a bad experience, but it wasn’t a memorable one by any means and there is a much better taco truck just up the hill and honestly, almost every taco truck I’ve been to was a better experience. Good luck to these people and what they do. I’d suggest they actually eat at a couple other local taco trucks and pick up some points. I know they’re new, but this isn’t going to work unless they change it up a little bit.
