Here's what LoveFood had to say about the best Mexican restaurant in the entire state:

"Las Tortugas Deli Mexicana opened in 2002, when owner Pepe Magallanes saw a need for genuine, 'un-Americanized' Mexican food in the Memphis area. Years later, the restaurant, which also has a location in Germantown, is still a family affair, serving no-nonsense dishes made with ingredients sourced from local markets. The tamales, tacos, tortilla soup, and, of course, the tortugas (sanwiches) are all highly rated."
