Las Tortugas

Tortugas or Tacos‏

A Tortuga, or ‘turtle’, is a loaf of bread we bake fresh every day. As the loaf of bread comes out of the oven in it hollowed out by hand & grilled. We use only the shell of the bread & for that reason the slang is Tortuga! Each torta has the following garnishes: Fresh avocado, roma tomatoes, queso fresco farmers cheese, shredded lettuce, poblano peppers, sliced sweet onion & a spread of garlic pinto beans. An order of tacos is served 4 small soft tacos per order w/ 2 kinds of fresh salsa, a lettuce & spiced cucumber salad & hand cut tostada chips. Each taco is then garnished w/ fresh avocado, lime, cilantro, sweet onion & salsa tayde. Each choice below can be prepared either way.
