I've had Arturo's on my list for a while. I called ahead to confirm their opening hours, as you never know with restaurants. The person who answered was very nice.
I had a meeting nearby and brought my wife along to try their tacos afterward.
I asked for recommendations, and the staff member was patient and suggested some popular items. I was told the Taco de Carne Asada and Taco de Picadillo were their best sellers. We were also recommended something with Guisada, but we opted for the Taco de Carne Guisada instead. My wife and I were very hungry and decided to order every puffy taco to see what we liked best.
Here's how we ranked them: Our favorite was the Carne Guizada, followed by the Carne Asada. The Picadillo was also good; we enjoyed the seasoned ground beef. My wife was neutral on the chicken, but I personally liked it. Surprisingly, the Carnitas was our least favorite; it wasn't seasoned as well as we expected, but the other four were great, and I recommend trying them.
They come with "works," which include lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cilantro, thick-cut sharp cheddar, and a red sauce. They also gave us a green sauce on the side with a nice kick. I absolutely love the puffy tacos. Let's be honest, frying food is always a win. The fried puffy taco shell was unlike anything I've ever had.
The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. As a special welcome, they brought us two complimentary, homemade lemonades while we were enjoying our tacos.
I recommend visiting Arturo's Puffy Tacos; you'll leave with a full belly and a smile.
We ranked the Puffy Tacos in the following order:
