Editorial Review for Arturo's Bakery & Cafe – by James Scott Bankston
In Short
Hidden between El Mercado Uptown and the Dog & Duck, this quirky eatery is patronized by bohemian students and state workers. The dining rooms are down concrete steps in a basement. Rugs, artwork and murals (a Mexican desert scene in one room, a jungle in the other) cover the walls. Dishes include an adobe chicken quesadilla with caramelized onions and a chicken chipotle sandwich. For breakfast, there's scones and migas.

Insider Tips
BackgroundDon't expect mariachi music. A typical playlist includes the likes of CCR, Coldplay and R.E.M.
What Was It?According to the staff, the building originally housed a garage or maybe a car dealership. The industrial look of the loftlike, brick-and-concrete sub-basement dining rooms seems to confirm that.
Walk Off Your MealNearby are several art galleries, including the D. Berman Gallery, ACA Gallery at ArtPlex and Women & Their Work.

I have never dined at Arturo's, but we use it for "TO GO" all the time at our office building downtown. The food is always delicious and fresh. Try the Southwest Quesadillas.
