A week ago, I tweeted I was craving "Gringo" style tacos for Taco Tuesday. One of my followers asked if I ever tried Arturo's Puffy Taco (or simply Puffy Taco) in Whittier. I replied that I had not, and was going to save it for the next "taco Tuesday". Tuesday could not come fast enough. Last Saturday, I was in nearby La Habra dropping off my dog to the groomer, and this place was only 10 minutes away. It was early (10:00 am) but never too early for a taco!We arrived about 10:15, and the place was still dormant. One sign said "open" and the sign at the dining room said "closed". We walked up and they were open, and since it wasn't busy the guy (I think it's Arturo?) chatted us up about the food, and what's popular. The family is originally from San Antonio, Texas, and he brought the family recipe over to start this restaurant. The ground beef (or the original Puffy) is the most popular, and partially because it's cheaper than the other tacos. It has ground beef, potato, green chilies and other spices, topped with shredded lettuce, cheddar cheese and taco salsa. We ordered the original Puffy, and the other 4 Puffy tacos: Chicken, Carnitas (pork), Asada (steak), and the Carne Guizada, which is like a beef stew. Unlike the other meats, which is served dry this one is gravy like. Of the 5 tacos, the Guizada was my favorite, which I could have eaten 5 of those just by myself.The prices are not dirt cheap, but runs about $2.60 a per taco on the average. $18 for 5 tacos and 2 medium drinks.They're messy, and yes, they are puffy. You can't let the tacos sit too long or they will get soggy, and you will need the fork to scoop up the ingredients that falls out of the puffy shell.The restaurant also serves puffy tostadas and other "Tex-Mex" favorites. No free drink refills here, so go large, or expect to pay up to 75 cents for a refill. OH, and it's Cash Only. If you forget cash, there's an ATM in the dining room. I heard this place gets busy crowded, so get here early.

Our first time to come to this chain and the burgers are great! Called Charburgers and they are indeed cooked better than most! Also offer lettuce wrapped, and tempura fresh green beans. Delicious!

This place has good food. We love getting the burgers and piling on all the veggies we want; pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, onions. Also have relish and salsa. Cheese sauce for fries or whatever. Great onion rings and fries. Their lunch special is a good deal. Burger, fries and soda $7.00.
