0:09
eating establishments heading up to

0:20
we're fighting you to join me shall you
0:24
bring it along some extra batteries and
0:26
that baggie ready to roll
0:29
you're right big the foot it is a little
0:32
overcast today I know I know you're very
0:37
keen on how much I enjoy cumulonimbus
0:41
located on the corner of laughing well
0:44
and Santa Gertrude's that's the closest
0:50
cross streets to this establishment
0:53
Arturo's puffy taco for a new taste in
0:58
Mexican food try California's only the
1:01
original puffy taco
1:05
I think I will I had to swing by an ATM
1:08
because cash only is the only method of
1:12
payments that is acceptable might be the
1:15
first time at about a month that I have
1:19
used
1:21
that I've used cash and in all honesty
1:25
I've never had a puffy taco before as
1:29
soon as he at first for me I've had a
1:31
lot of different types of tacos but
1:32
never never one that's puffy what I
1:35
probably will opt for is just too puffy
1:38
tacos no rice no beans no sides just the
1:42
puffy tacos
1:43
you might hear that word a lot to the
1:46
course this video total price on the two
1:53
items that are being prepared at the
1:56
moment six dollars and 57 cents
2:20
there's a bunch of birds up there on the
2:20
roof must be their spot on other
2:23
occasions the dining room is open but
2:25
you're just sitting outside is the only
2:27
thing available currently there he is
2:29
right there art got the name on the
2:32
shirt appear to be some photographs on
2:34
the wall in there and Lakers Jersey and
2:37
a frame found a nice little seating
2:39
arrangement over here tucked away in the
2:41
corner of the property I have no idea
2:43
what these are even going to consist of
2:46
this is what we're dealing with oh yeah
2:51
that looks it comes with a fork as well
2:54
that right there that's the puffy taco
2:58
looks pretty dang good if I do say so
3:01
myself
3:02
Arturo's
3:10
I went with the standard ground beef but
3:10
I see lettuce I see cheese I see salsa
3:13
side note they sell salsa Pollock hard
3:17
if you want to gonna take some flour
3:19
that's the correct term but they sell
3:20
salsa he would like to take some home
3:23
with you got some Tomatoes here and gosh
3:27
I don't even know what else is packed
3:28
into these fantastic looking items those
3:32
look good and now I'm noticing there is
3:34
an ATM on sight I went by noticed that
3:38
it was cash only went up to the bank got
3:41
some out of their ATM but they do have
3:43
one here as well for future reference or
3:47
anyone who decides to swing by that's
3:50
that's toasty that has quite a bit of
3:53
warmth protruding off of the bottom area
3:56
there this is my first ever now my first
3:59
impression is that the the outer shell
4:02
reminds me of a taco salad type of bowl
4:06
and I have had these items in a taco
4:09
salad bowl but never in a proper looking
4:12
taco like this one I'm going in
4:26
make it a little bit of a map I've
4:26
failed to get any napkins there are some
4:28
up at the counter I did not get any
4:30
napkins hand I did not order a beverage
4:32
I might have a bottle water in the car
4:35
however this is really good
4:57
not having anything to to drink at the
4:57
moment is a negative you really know how
5:00
to describe it it's that you know the
5:03
insides obviously is a traditional-style
5:07
taco almost like a homemade style taco
5:10
the meat is very tasty and fresh and all
5:15
the ingredients but the outer the outer
5:18
portion is it's kind of throwing me off
5:20
a little bit now I do you like soft
5:22
tacos I like hard shell tacos this is
5:25
kind of a cross between the two of them
5:28
okay just like as I was saying really
5:31
the most closest thing would be the kind
5:33
of shell you put a taco salad oh I did
5:36
not specify at the window what I wanted
5:38
on top of I just asked for the two that
5:41
are the most the most popular or the
5:43
most common better ordered and this is
5:46
what I've already eaten obviously I've
5:47
already eaten one giving a little more
5:49
detail on the one that is laughs no sour
5:52
cream sans sour cream I did not order it
5:55
that way that's just that's just how it
5:57
shows up when you order the the casual
6:00
basic puffy taco
6:19
get more of dollars getting more of a
6:19
sauce of flavor and this myth really
6:21
good salsa
6:31
great local spot heard about this place
6:31
for a while wanted to try it by sometime
6:33
I'm glad I did Arturo's
6:50
now I see why the fourth is handed to me
6:50
you just scoop out all that all the
6:54
extracurricular items who have fallen
6:57
down
7:06
mmm comes enough Brownback like almost
7:11
like up a lunch lunch back heck yeah
7:20
there's a bird wanting my table scraps I
7:23
did drop a little bit have Adam
7:26
well I'm Adam but have at the table
7:28
scraps I mean all in all would
7:32
definitely return if I'm ever in this
7:35
neighborhood I will I'll try something
7:38
different it could just be the novelty
7:40
talking but it was really tasty
7:43
I could normal taco but the outer shell
7:47
was definitely I'm not gonna repeat the
7:49
word again I've already said it then
7:51
again maybe it would be like beetlejuice
7:53
let me say it enough another one will
7:55
appear I think I've said it more than
7:59
three times however that's gonna do it

he got me thinking when I went to the
9:05
ATM put cash in my wallet even though
9:08
like I use a credit card out of the
9:11
wallet often it just reminded me but
9:16
this wallet is now over 25 years old I
9:21
got this after I went to a Bad Brains
9:24
concert in Orlando Florida and my
9:28
another wallet was stolen so the next
9:31
day I drove to Indialantic Florida to
9:34
the groove Tube surf shop which no
9:37
longer exists I purchased this wallet
9:42
I was back at 1995
