Las Delicias · East Memphis
Las Delicias is a casual Park Avenue restaurant where house made chips, thin salsa, guacamole, tacos, and generous combination plates keep the room busy. The menu covers familiar Mexican comfort food without overcomplicating the visit. Begin with guacamole for the table, then choose tacos or a platter with rice and beans to understand why the local concept has endured.
Los Comales Mexican Bar & Grill “Midtown” · Midtown
Los Comales brings a broad taqueria and grill menu to Madison Avenue, spanning street tacos, tortas, soups, seafood, and larger combination plates. The Midtown location is the selected identity for this four shop local group. A mix of taco fillings makes an easy introduction, but the kitchen's range also rewards diners who move into pozole, grilled meats, or weekend specials.
Las Tortugas Deli Mexicana · Germantown
Las Tortugas Deli Mexicana focuses on Mexico City style tortas, tacos, and fresh preparations rather than a sprawling combination menu. Order by ingredient and let the kitchen keep the format simple: a torta, taco, or juice that highlights carefully sourced avocado, meat, cheese, and vegetables.
Maciel's tortas & tacos (downtown) · South Main
Maciel's serves Downtown with tortas, tacos, and other street food prepared in a narrow Main Street storefront. Crisp fried tacos and generously filled sandwiches show two different sides of the menu, while salsas add heat and brightness.
Taqueria Express #5 · Summer Avenue
Taqueria Express #5 serves birria tacos from its Summer Avenue food truck. The local account describes tender, spicy meat and a red broth for dipping; it also notes California burritos on the menu. Start with the birria and use the broth across the tacos while they are hot.
