The tortoise is definitely a big part of it, but I think the overall problem is his feeling of inadequacy. He couldn't deal emotionally with the tortoise incident, but he also didn't fit in with his counterparts in the Albuquerque office. They were professionals -- they spoke Spanish, they were well educated, and they didn't appreciate his brash jokes -- and he was pretty well a cowboy who they looked down upon.
By picking a fight in the Spanish bar, Hank's probably trying to both sabotage his chances of getting transferred and essentially thumbing his nose at his counterparts by showing that he is indeed a cowboy and proud of it.
