Worth noting, however, was the fact that the place was VERY busy. (Perhaps we're just used to the dining fare served at the local Mexican Village Restaurant and others of their ilk. Excited as we were to try this place, we found ourselves to be just a bit underwhelmed. The chicken were DRY and basically tasteless/unseasoned. The beef weredelicious - once you got through the hefty layer of cheese atop. Also had the chicken and beef enchiladas. They come with three sauces, all of which were found to be EXTREMELY spicy. PERSONAL OPINION: It does NOT live up to the hype. While the food is OK, what we had to eat - though probably "authentic" - certainly didn't rate five stars. Las Tortugas Taqueria & Market: Authentic Mexican Cuisine - See 80 traveler reviews, 21 candid photos, and great deals for Shelby Township, MI, at Tripadvisor. OBSERVATIONS: It's next to impossible to find (basically a store front not readily visible from the road). The fourth sauce in a bowl is pretty weak.After reading the glowing reviews this eatery has gotten, decided to give it a try. Oops I almost forgot, The chips were fresh and the sauces in bottles are very hot and tasty. We will probably give it another try in a couple weeks. Any way the food is good and the place is clean. I parked at the far end of this lengthily strip mall. Parking is pretty much non existent.Thery are a few spaces in front and more at the side and a few in the rear. I think maybe this was just one of those nights where things did not go as expected.The waitress did keep us up to date continually apologizing for the slowness of our order. All in all, everything was tasty! However I kept remembering all of the reviews that said the food arrived amazingly fast. My beans came with a side of rice which I did not order, but paid for. I got my order, plus an extra taco Asada which i paid for. I ordered 3 tacos, 2 Pasteur and one Asada, but got 4 tacos. The place was crowded and we waited only 5 or 10 minutes before we were seated, but after we ordered we waited over 30 minutes for the food and then I got more than I ordered. My wife and I ate here because of the good reviews on Trip Advisor and Yelp.
