Arturo’s Puffy Taco is a counter-service Mexican restaurant at 15693 Leffingwell Road in Whittier, California, known for the Tex-Mex puffy taco: a deep-fried shell that puffs into a crisp, airy pocket rather than the flat, hard shell used at most Mexican restaurants.
The menu centers on puffy tacos filled with carne asada, ground beef, chicken or picadillo, alongside bean and cheese burritos, crispy taquitos and combo plates with rice and beans. Tortilla chips with salsa and traditional Mexican drinks such as horchata and agua de jamaica round out the counter menu.
Arturo’s Puffy Taco is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and closed Sunday. The restaurant is cash only, with indoor counter seating and additional outdoor tables for walk-up, dine-in and takeout orders.
