Tortuga Room Club At 9604 South Main St.

[probigd]

Was there ever a Tortuga Mexican Restaurant located inside one of Bert Wheeler's motels?  Thought I remember one of those old black & white documentaries about historic Houston and they showed a Mexican restaurant named Tortuga and it was somewhere a long South Main Street.

Looking at both of Bert Wheeler's motels, by his company Palmetto Corporation, had both the Las Vegas Motor Hotel at 9604 South Main St. and the Twenty Nine Palms Motor Hotel at 9430 South Main St.

Which one of those hotels was the Tortuga Mexican Restaurant located? I am going to guess it was located in the 9604 South Main Street location.
