Prices have changed/went up drastically compared to the photos of the menu posted. The portions are smaller than what was expected and the taste is subpar/bland. I had the sirloin steak fajitas and chicken quesadillas. The salsa was very lacking of taste and felt very liquidly. Customer service was nice though. read more

This family owned business is really good. The food fulfilled a wish I didn't know I had at the time. It is so good. Be aware that the portions are rather large, though. The service was knowledgeable and friendly. read more

My husband and I like having date night and we heard this place was a good place to try. First off it's hard to find decent Mexican food out here. This place wasn't too far off! It's a nice big place, and yes a reservation is needed because for as many tables as there are, they fill up quick. I ordered the trio fajitas which came with shrimp, steak and chicken. Was kinda disappointed I only got three tiny shrimps, but the seasoning and the way the steak and chicken was cooked definitely made up for it. The margaritas .... they're big, they're strong, they're tasty. read more

This is probably the best Mexican you will find in town. I have tried various Mexican restaurants throughout Germany and this is definitely ranking the best so far. The service was very prompt and our waitress was quick to offer any suggestions if needed. We all enjoyed our various meals. The salsa was lacking some extra flavor. I think the recipes could be spiced/seasoned a little more to add more flavor. I found many of the dishes to be a little bland, but nonetheless better than anything I have seen in the area so far. A caldo de pollo would be a tasty addition to the menu as well! Maybe even a black bean soup! We also tried the cheese dip. If you're looking for the classic White queso, this is more of a mix that reminds me of a cross between spinach dip and queso. Tasty, but not your classic Tex-mex white quest you're likely imagining. The mixed strawberry/lime margarita was disappointing for me personally. It was overly sweet and syrup-y. If that is your thing, then it is probably perfect for you. I am looking forward to returning to try the classic frozen lime margarita. Also, be sure to bring your cash and make a reservation! They do not accept cards. We have had occasions in the past where we could not get a seat for a few hours. Plan ahead, your walk-in visit will not always work unfortunately. read more

It's good. Definitely pricy for what you get. Real clean and nice seating. Enough parking. Drinks are fine. Food is fine. I would go back but wouldn't go out of my way to go back. read more

Very unhappy. Service sucks. Food here has been good. I called in a take out order and the staff refused to take the order. The staff stated the kitchen did now want to take the order. Shame on you for turning down a great tip, regular customer and an order for six. $$ Never again will Tortugas have my business. read more

The first and probably last time eating at Tortuga Tex-Mex I was with a party of 8 and we had booked reservations 3 weeks ago the staff was nice and the restaurant was clean as well the waitress was quick to get our drinks and our orders as well. Only a few things I had issues with the wait time for our food it took about 30-40 minutes for everyone at our table to get our meal I had the carne asada quesadilla with grilled veggies and a side of chips with 3 different salsa which was not to bad the Mango salsa was my favorite the other issue was at the time while we were there they only excepted cash. I know that's not a big deal but it's worth noting in all I feel my 2 star review is justified read more

No matter how many times you call this place they never pick up the phone then when you go up there they can never seat you even those there's a lot of open tables. read more

I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I wasn't really impressed with this place. Like others have said, it's probably the best Mexican food you can get in town, but to me it wasn't that great. I've only been once, and if I get a craving for Mexican I might go back, but I'm not really enthusiastic about it. However, others must like it, because often it's really crowded and you will probably want/need a reservation. Even with a reservation (on the 2nd attempt to eat here), when I arrived I waited for about 10-15 minutes for space to open up to eat even with the reservation. read more

We've only been here a couple of times. Easily the worst Mexican restaurant I've ever been to. Most of the things I've tried on the menu are pretty horrendous. But the enchiladas are alright and the portions are large. So, to be honest, if you can avoid this place, that would probably be best. read more

If you've lived in Germany long enough, you know there aren't many places to eat Mexican food and this place hits! Yeah it may be Tex-Mex but it tastes absolutely amazing when you've been taco-deprived. It's always packed here so make sure you RSVP especially with bigger groups. This is hands down THE best spot to grab dinner and some margaritas before going out to the bars. They make them strong af! The lime margarita on the rocks would be my personal favorite, but the strawberry is good too. Oh, and Das Boot is a must! It's about 17 euros and a shit ton of beer, but an awesome pre-game experience and worth it. The best thing to order is the chimichangas without a doubt! Don't forget the nachos and that extra guac! read more

If you need that TexMex fix, look at this joint. They are the closes thing out in Bavaria. The place is always packed so go online and make a reservation. read more

The only Mexican restaurant out here in Grafenwoehr. It's alright, I guess. I'm from California, so I'll be perpetually disappointed t the quality, but it's not completely terrible. I always get the platters. Retried beans are very "meh". Enchiladas are surprisingly good. Burritos are not bad at all. Fajitas (my mother's choice) are decent. I must say, though, that the margaritas are excellent! All in all not a terrible place to go if you're missing Mexican food from back home. It certainly beats Taco Bell. read more

After tonight's rendezvous, I can't help but get on the soap box a little. A group of us went to dinner, with a reservation, and were seated and placed our orders in a reasonable amount of time. However, 4 out of 5 orders arrived with no explanation and this lucky girl was the odd lady out...hooray! I realize German service can be different so I waited...and waited...and waited. All the servers must have been relaxing elsewhere because NOBODY came with food or explanation as to my lack of dinner. Finally, one of them was practically wrangled and coerced into providing customer service and we received an abundance of, as it happens, lip service. Neither satisfying nor edible. After much humming and hawing, we were able to piece together the order had gone amiss--deductive reasoning is not on the menu here. The combination of a nasty cold, an empty stomach, and a heaping dose of frustration....not a happy camper/customer. The only redeeming feature was receiving my meal on the house, at the behest of my dinner-mates....but by the time I got it, all I wanted was to go home. Food remains acceptable, but with such dismal service, I'd be happier and better-fed in my own kitchen, and that's not exactly the point of going out. Maybe next time Tortuga's...if there is one. read more

So Glad I found this place! I miss home, meaning my MEXICAN FOOD! The food was great! Reservations is a definitely a good idea to make! read more

A group of happy and humble Americans requested seating for 11 individuals. A typical and business oriented restaurant would appreciate such great business. ( Excellent tips plus a €200 plus bill). However a rude hostel came out to tell us they could seat us together. We then suggested separate seating, but she then responded that they could not serve that quantity of orders. So my question is why have a restaurant with empty tables that they can not fulfill. Just take the tables out instead of being false advertisement. Plus no attitude. Don't recommend!!!! read more

The only Mexican restaurant in town sooooo...it's the best by default. Staff was attentive and fast with the food. We ordered the Three Amigos as a starter. You choose from 7 or 8 types of sasa/cheese. Get the salsa Verde! Yummm!! The strawberry daiquiri was from a machine, but it had a lot of liquor in it. The resturant was nothing spectacular, but nothing bad either. read more

I give 4 stars because it's the best Mexican I've had in Germany. If this was in America I would give one star. The queso is good. Guacamole is good. Tacos are good. Chimichangas are great. This place is not up to par with the beloved Tex mex/Mexican restaurants back in the states that we are all used to, but it satisfies the cravings! Servers are nice and try their best to be fast and attentive even when it's jam packed. I will continue the eat here until I make my way back across the pond! read more

This place is trash. Horrible service and rude waitresses. They made me feel like I needed to the ruler of a country to be there smfh.

Eh, it's Mexican in Germany...need I say more? This place tries hard, but misses as most German Mexican restaurants do. Go here if you think you'll die without a mex fix, otherwise there's plenty of other better options in the Graf area. read more

Good food, fast service. Get reservations unless you have time to spare. Hot inside so dress comfortably. They do not accept debit/credit so bring Euro. read more

Coming from San Antonio Texas, there isn't much in the way of good TexMex out herenin Bavaria, but this really is the closest you're going to get here and on top of that it's pretty delicious! We got the Laredo plate and their enchilada sauce is pretty on point and so are their quesadillas. Definitely get a reservation, you can even book online, but do it at least a couple days in advance if you have a specific time frame you want, at the very least a day out to get any spots because it's usually booked the day of. Don't even bother trying to walk in, they're always busy. Its a nice place but its also not a place to bring visiting relatives from the states because they can get this anywhere there, haha. It is family and child friendly though! Bring cash! read more

It's pretty good for Tex Mex in germany, But it's always too hot in that place. They sometimes take more then 40 minutes for the food to come and sometimes it takes about 20 just for the server to come take our order. If I have to call you over to tell you we're ready to order that's a problem. Food is very tasty though. read more

My take on this place. Chips and salsa- seems like the chips are from a bag and not freshly made, some of them were stale but I are them because I was hungry. Dinner- I ordered the Barbosa burrito smothered in green sauce, I have got to say it was good, even better than the Tex-Mex Restaurant I went to in Texas. Overall I will come back and try a different dish. Good job tortuga, just fix your chips and you are good to go. read more

I've never had Tex-Mex until we moved here and this place is one of the closest restaurants to grab some mexican food while being here in Germany. My friend bought the taco salad and it looked good. My husband and I tried the quesadillas and hard tacos. Taste was pretty good. Definitely loved the strawberry daiquiri tho! This was the second time I've been here and customer service was great. The updated menu selection is much better than what it was before. We didn't make reservations on a Saturday night but the waitress was quick on her feet and prepared a table for us. read more

My husband & I made a reservation ahead of time for 6:30pm on a Friday evening. We didn't have to wait for our drinks, appetizer or food for long at all. The staff is nice & the atmosphere is nice.. except for the really loud, obnoxious kids across the restaurant. The food is delicious & tastes fresh! They get busy on weekends so I suggest making reservations ahead of time, especially for larger parties. We called an hour ahead for a party of two & were just fine. read more

The service was bad. We ordered extra salsa with our chip and it came 10 minutes later after the chip were gone. My wife's Margarita didn't have any tequila in it. The drinks were watered and I watched them poor a German beer into a Corona Bottle to serve it. The food was decent. We were not impressed at all. Parking is atrocious. read more

This is the best Mexican food you'll find in this area. The enchiladas are really good!

The new location is better than the last, but the food is still the same quality. About every other thing Iv ordered is decent, but not anything to craze about. The ordering system for more than 4 people takes a while, we had 7 people, which is a little more than normal but generally all have very easy orders. They use a tablet that you would think would generally save time. I personally felt it added time. Maybe the server just didn't know how to use it properly. Not sure, also. It's 2020. You should realllllllllllly be able to take card. That amazed me. Brand new location, all the upgrades in looks and style and comfort. Still no card, still just decent food. With that being said, for the area as far as I know there isn't any other Mexican/ Tex-mex type. So, if it's what your looking for it might be your only choice. read more

The salsa is phenomenal, the service is pretty good and the food is my favorite. Please give it chance and accept that you live nowhere near Mexico and this is freaking amazing even if you did. The only thing missing is Carne Asada read more

I was very skeptical coming here as I grew up in l.a. and am very biased when it comes to good Mexican food. I also hate TeX Mex. It is way better than I expected it to be. I mean its not the same as so cal. But its pretty good the carnitas were pretty decent. The wait staff is very friendly. It can take some time to get some stuff but its expected in a restaurant that's always packed. Always make reservations. They get super busy, which is another given that the food must be decent. read more

We had chips and salsa and I had the 4 crunchy corn tacos with chicken and ground beef. The corn chips and corn taco shells are awful. The service was good and the atmosphere is fun. But the food is not very good. read more

This place has a fun southwest theme with statues and painting throughout the interior of the building. I would liken it to a standard Mexican joint (that is making an effort) anywhere in the U.S. The food is good for the most part, but its really the small things that bring the score down, for example, the taco shells are very simillar to store bought ones and are clearly not the same ones that are pictured in the menu. There are other small things but I don't want to nit pick. I recommend this place if you are craving a good Burrito or some really good Nachos, but steer clear if you are looking for something cooked by Rick Bayless. CASH ONLY! read more

The fajitas are so delish. Of course you need to order the chips and salsa as well. Overall good!! Remember to bring euro!!! No cards are accepted. Also, make a reservation on Facebook. read more

This is 5 star for German Mexican food (I am from Texas). We had the 3 amigos dip sampler. The white queso was superb. The guac was good but it was either canned it blended with sour cream because the taste and color were a bit bland. The steak fajita meat was great, the shimp were peeled, big, and spiced perfectly and they did the chimichangas right. I highly recommend the tomatillo salsa. If you're expecting Houston quality of Mexican food you might be disappointed but we will be back here for sure. read more

I've been here a few times and they are always busy, so I made sure to make reservations. I was promptly seated, Aysia and Steffi were very friendly and attentive waitresses.
