Arturo's Cafe — Restaurant in San Antonio

The good: carne guisada meat was tasty. Tortillas were tasty as well and fluffy. I love home made tortillas!

The not so good: a bit on the expensive side. You can get a cheaper and just as good taco at Rolando’s Super tacos. Unless Rolando’s went up in price, their super carne guisada is $6.25 compared to the $8+ monster price.

You are paying for extra toppings but in large part you are paying for a lot of tortilla.

The bad: I paid for a monster chorizo and egg taco. The serving of egg was pretty pathetic. I feel like they confused the order but they gave the big tortillas so I don’t see how they could make that mistake. Anyway, not happy having paid $4+ for a taco that should have been on their $1.70 menu.

Overall, the food was good. I feel I paid more than I would expect for what I got. I guess if I wasn’t so short changed on the chorizo and egg taco I might have a better opinion of the experience.

Arturo's Cafe is a best kept secret south of downtown San Antonio. I grew up in the inner city here in SA. As such, I share in the experience and tradition of down home Tex Mex- SA Style cooking. There is nothing like it in the world!! I can say Arturo's inspired me to say this because they definitely represent what I write here. The food is amazing and the service feels like familia. The tiny restaurant takes me back to my roots and calls memories of breakfast at my abuelitas or tias homes. Come starving and bring friends to finish off their Monster Tacos. The prices and value are one of the best in San Antonio. The is only one thing you should mind is the parking and construction. Don't miss out. Try Arturo's at your...
