Las Tortugas Grill

Was in the mood for some tacos and being in the area I’m in and not being able to find a good place for some good bomb tacos because you just can’t go anywhere to get TACOS I went on Unilocal and came across this place and let me tell you I’m most defiantly coming back again I went during my lunch to get food for the office and we got tacos de asada and a Torta de Cubana and everything was bomb the salsa is spicy so for the ones out there that love spicy salsa make sure get some red and green don’t forget the cebollitas. I’m recommending this place to my friends and family.

Frkn love this place … Tacos are bomb af… I come here at least once a week… Red salsa is spicy and taste good as well. Nothing bad to say about here.

This is a hit and miss. Latlely the carrots, lemons, and radishes have been soggy. It looks like they have been sitting out in the sun too long. My carne asada burrito had 3 pieces amof meat and it was so greasy me and my friend ate less thanbhalf of the burrito and into the trash it went.

I had their huaraches with carne asada. I thought it was pretty good especially the melted cheese yummmmmm. The asada was a tad salty for me. They have a red sauce, green sauce, and another green sauce, I think it has avocado in it (kind of weird tasting, not in a good way).
My friends had the al pastor torta which I had a bite of; I’ve had way better. The other ordered the carne asada tacos. They both said they had the runs after. Tmi I know.

Love eating tacos here and especially their spicy salsa. I’ve been getting food here growing up (about 8 years now). It’s great food definitely, but I know some of you might say you could get more for less, however it’s the quality you’re paying here. Pick one or the other, it’s rare to get both.

This is a Santa Ana spot!!! It is definitely a go to spot if you want some bomb tacos!!! The Carne Asada and Al Pastor tacos are worth waiting for… luckily I didn’t have to wait very long & the sauces are money!!! Can’t miss spot!!! Check it out.

The truck is always parked right up the street from me! Food is always on point! Compared to other places serving tripa, this place tastes way better and not over cooked! Try the tripas and pastor, pastor has a very distinct pineapple flavor that I love!
Ps: both Roja and avacado salsas are hot af but you won’t regret it

This little taco truck is the bomb! Incredibly shady area, but so worth it!

Great tacos, I love their carne asada tacos. Their green hot sauce is incredible and spicy. This place is ghetto so take some weapons but you will not be disappointed.

Let me start off saying that this is one of the best food trucks ever! Their chicken tacos are delicious!!! I would def recommend! Yeah the line/​wait is long but it is so worth it!

The only food truck that I will buy food from! They always serve fresh, delicious Mexican food! I would recommend their tortas and green salsa. If you can tolerate heat… Lol the salsa is always fresh and full of taste :) and their staff are always super friendly :) if you guys want real Mexican food come to this place :)

One of my favorite places to buy tacos. Their green hot sauce is great and super spicy which is perfect. Tacos are really good nothing compared to Mexico’s tacos but they will do.

I’m very iffy about trying food trucks, especially if they’re Mexican. I came with my friend and suggested this place, said she’s been coming for years. I’m glad i decided to give it a try. The meat was so juicy with flavor and sauces were spicy which I like. The chalupa was my favorite. Make sure to order a side of cebollitas which add an extra kick of flavor to every bite. Only downside is that they only take cash.

Tacos are pretty small, but oh soo good. I’m from the Bay Area and we were looking for a good taco spot out in the area. We asked around and were told about this spot in Santa Ana we took a chance. We were warned about the sauce and yes it is really spicy. Good taco spot just wish there was a place to sit.

It was Saturday afternoon and I called to make sure this food truck was open. It was. I came here with my husband and daughter. Husband has carne asada tacos. I had carnitas tacos. Daughter had carnitas burrito. The carnitas were excellent and made the tacos yummy! Perfect ratio of crisp to tender meat on the carnitas. Not dry at all. Hubby said carne asada was tender with correct amount of spices and not salty. The burrito was a very good size and was rated «super good» by the daughter!
What a great find In The heart of Santa Ana!

La mejor de la comida mexica mulita, tacos, sopes, huaraches y lo mejor las salsa buenisimas

This is the first taco truck I ever tried, deliciousness at its best. Been going there for years and I’ve tried everything.
1) tacos small yet stuffed with lots of meats, Asada is nice and tender, tripas very tasty, make sure to ask for them dorada mmm… cueritos a mixture of different pork parts is real tasty. suadero is also good.
2) burritos big and stuffed can feed probably two persons beans rice and lots of meat
3) Picaditas are delish it’s like a hand made tortilla with cheese green salsa and sour cream must try
4) alambres have Asada, ham, green peppers, onions, cheese and a stack of tortillas must try
5) salsas are like whoah. .dark green is for pros it’s really spicy, red is spicy yet edible, my favorite is the yellow one it’s the best, goes well on everything
But don’t take my word for it, get up and get on down to that truck you won’t regret it

Las Tortugas translated is Sea Turtles. Interesting name for a taco truck. I guess you could name it anything you want if San Diego translated means Whale’s vagina.
Overall, Las Tortugas is good but not great. Al pastor was 4* and the Carnitas was 3*. Hence, we have an average of 3.5* and rounded up for the final review.

Very legit taco truck in a cul-​de-​sac adjacent to Stater Bros. and some sort of recycling operation (that is inexplicably ALWAYS crackin… probably cartel money laundering front). Prices were very reasonble and the food was solid. Tacos available in ALL the best meats (cabeza, buche, lengua, carnitas, barbacoa, asada, chorizo, etc…). Cabeza, is always my favorite. Portions on the gorditas, sopes, tortas, and alhambres are all great too.
Super friendly service.
+ points for having cebollines too.

Legit, yummy, spicy Mexican food.
I wasn’t sure about hitting up a food truck behind Stater bros. But once I got up close and saw the pictures of the food I was getting hungrier by the second.
The boo and I had tacos (carnitas, asada, and barbacoa) and a torta de cubana. They give you little containers to get salsa and limes as you wait. Holy crap both the red and green pretty damn hot and I’m a pretty white washed Mexican so I gave up after my first bite. The cubana torta has its own salsa and peppers in it as well and it was delicious.
It was pretty popular and we waited maybe ten minutes. It may have felt longer because they did have others outside the truck trying to sell other food or bootleg movies but we were planning to take the food home any way so I’m not about to lower my rating because of that.
Two thumbs up, definitely recommend it.

The void was large when Tacqueria 2 Guys closed, but a new stag has taken up the mantle of filling the taco needs of the area.
Enter Las Tortugas Grill. Not a grill at all, but a truck posted behind the Stater Brothers on Edinger and Fairview by the neighborhood. Now I don’t know their hours, but as far as I can tell they are ONLY here and are here at KEY times.
I was pleasantly surprised by a taco truck offering a menu size that rivals most restaurants, certainly imo more diverse than 2 Guys.
Not just tacos, but gorditas, huaraches, quesadillas, mulitas, tortas and a dozen meats to top and fill you up.
Carne asada is for most the standard by which they measure Mexican food. I must first clarify carne asada is fire roasted on ideally mesquite which creates a unique taste. What MOST people east is bistek, kind of it’s flat top grilled cousin, almost as good, but to me you can’t call it carne asada. I found it too salty and a little tough, good flavor, but overcooked making it tough and a bit dry. Al Pastor was good, but also dry, great color. Carnitas also dry, but shredded nicely. My favorite was the cabeza, juicy, tender, not over seasoned and took best to the salsa’s provided. Chorizo is not greasy and well flavored, but a bit masked with cilantro.
I had the gordita which was a mess of lettuce, crema, tomatos, bistek. The bread was good, but was really designed to fall apart on contact. You’ll have better luck folding it like a taco. Oh and this takes a bit longer to make. The huaraches use way too much beans and the tortilla was a hair stale. The onions and carrots and juice salvaged a little of that. The quesadilla uses a real deal tortilla, not that thin doughy crap you sometimes.
Flan was basic. Cebollitas were not peeled enough as most had 1 too many layers. Unseasoned and a tag boring. Extra hot sauces are to be paid for at $ 0.50 each. The verde has little acidity, but an unlingering heat. The red is a very roasted with the same heat. The creamy light green salsa is best, but most mild, went well with most everything.
Price is good, but service could be better. Trash can is a nice touch considering they’ve set up camp here. I was digging the radishes, but was hoping for a finer shred.
The area is a little dirty from all the eating and gathering, you know food droppings. Also if you are tall you will hit your head under their canopy hood.
A good variety of drinks (real sugar coke, yum). Cash only. A solid establishment that easily outdid 2 guys in terms of variety and overall quality, but in no way is a top notch Mexican taco grill. A solid Lonchera worth at least 1 outting. Maybe come early for lunch.
My next visit I’m going for shrimp, fish and the rest of the meats, the other dishes will come.
