Awesome, Bigbro!

I think your photos actually do the place justice. I've been wanting to post about Arturo's again for a while, but didn't have any photos as nice as yours. Thanks.

Arturos was built in 1960 and until a few years ago had been owned by the same family that built it. It has been kept in really nice, original condition. While the food is old-school, 1970s American-Mexican (enchilladas, tostadas, chile rellenos, etc), a few margaritas will definitely enhance the experience. My friends and I like to dress in our Sixties finest when visiting Arturo's which also adds to the ambience.

I can add a few pics from my collection:

:down: Here's the vintage postcard

And I'm glad to see the new matchbook looks much like the old one:

Although the old matchbook has its plusses :down:

Thanks for bringing Arturo's to our attention again, Bigbro. I really like your "Julius Shulman" shot
