Local Restaurant Review: Las Tortugas

Even though this local restaurant isn't local to me anymore (being located in Memphis, not Nashville), I couldn't resist reviewing it. It has fast become a place I HAVE to visit whenever I'm in Memphis.

This is not your typical cheese-laden, fajita-sizzling, monster margarita Mexican joint (though there's nothing wrong with monster margaritas...). The owner's son (who was a part of the Navy Parachute Team--impressive parachuting and skydiving pictures don the walls of the restaurant) tells me that Las Tortugas is exactly the kind of upscale 'torteria' or 'taqueria' you would find in Mexico City.

Local Restaurant Review: The Silly Goose

Goose [goos]:
1) A web-footed swimming bird
2) What I often call my husband
3) Quite possibly the BEST restaurant in all of Nashville



The thought crossed my mind to come back the next day.

And next week too.

After checking out their website, I was quite impressed with their credo:



We make delicious, nourishing, wholesome food with love and care from the purest and highest quality ingredients available to us. We search for and buy local, organic, sustainably produced, minimally manipulated food.
