Host at the front was extremely rude upon walking in. My group and I walked in and the bald host, immediately without greeting us, said "we're full" stayed quiet and didn't provide us any other context whatsoever (ex: if the kitchen was closing or if there was wait time) We were confused and he said nothing else to us. We thought the establishment was closing; however, after checking they weren't. Go to Phoebe's Diner instead. read more

As a first timer at Arturo's Underground Cafe, I had a wonderful experience. This will definitely be a spot I'll go to in the future. There was a bit of a wait when arriving, but it was reassuring to hear from exiting customers that the food was great. The restaurant has a very unique style, it feels intimate yet cozy. The food was very delicious, I had the opportunity to try the Diablo, Caribbean French toast, and the Último sandwich. The food was cooked well, had great flavor, and it left you feeling stuffed! I can't wait to try different items from the menu for my next visit! read more

Visited Arturo's for take out. It did take some time to get the order so if you're assuming it'll be a quick in and out - it is not. Ordered: papas rancheras taco, peace taco, hangos taco, migas taco, deluxe egg sandwich, and red salsas/green sauce for breakfast. The food wasn't bad, the sauces helped to elevate the flavors. The sandwich was okay just your basic average egg sandwich. Can't comment much on ambiance given this was a takeout order, but will say the food was packaged well. The green sauce is really good - recommend getting and appreciate the staff for suggesting to get it! read more

Arturo's Underground Cafe - a variety of sandwiches and condiments - Cafes Near Me - Austin, Texas

A friend of mine who lived in Austin for a few years mourns the lack of authentic breakfast tacos in Columbus, Ohio. This was a great introduction to them. This was about a third of a mile from our hotel and was a fairly easy walk from 13th. There is construction happening on one side the street so I wouldn't recommend eating outside. The noises, view, and possibility of falling debris could downgrade the experience. At 8am on a Wednesday they weren't really busy but there were a few people who stopped in for food to go. The person who took our order was friendly. My friend got the Huevos Rancheros and I got The Work Breakfast Taco. My friend said her food was good. I understand what my former Austin resident friend meant about breakfast tacos! 1. The flour tortilla is freshly made and between the size of a taco truck corn tortilla and a burrito-sized tortilla. 2. The filling is fairly evenly distributed. 3. The filling contains soft, medium, and hard textures which doesn't make it boring. The decor has plenty to look at between the paintings, mismatched hanging lights, wallpaper, and murals. I would definitely go again. read more

I ordered a matcha latte and was really disappointed with the quality. It was clear the matcha hadn't been whisked properly it looked like it had just been stirred with a spoon, and the powder had already settled at the bottom by the time I got it. When I asked for a refund or a replacement, the cashier told me, "That's how we make it here," and suggested I stir it myself. Not only was the drink poorly made, but the customer service was also disappointing. Honestly, if you're not going to prepare it the right way or stand by the product, it shouldn't be on the menu. I tried drinking it, but it was undrinkable. read more

Stopped here for a quick lunch. Nice little spot with outside and inside seating. Place your order and take a seat, they bring food to your table. Sandwiches, salads, and quesadillas on the menu for lunch. We had a chipotle chicken quesadilla, pesto chicken sandwich, and sesame chicken quesadilla. All food was excellent! Would definitely like to try some of their other menu items, especially breakfast! Staff was very friendly and would recommend if looking for a breakfast or lunch spot! read more

If we lived here, we would be here all of the time! From the moment we walked in, I knew we had chosen well. Arturo's is a friendly, cool little place with the best brunch we have had in a long time. Service was 100% fantastic. My Travis egg's Benedict was delicious and my husband gave the Chinati egg's Benedict a 10! The hollandaise is smooth and buttery. My pineapple mimosa tied it all together perfectly. We will be back!!! Thank you to the staff for making this the perfect Austin brunch experience! read more

Came here for a lunch in between classes and it's such a cool spot. It's actually underground (surprising I know) and has an intimate, dark academia aesthetic. I had the Thai chicken sandwich which was tasty with tender chicken and veggie slaw that resemble banh mi. Utensils, water, and to go boxes are available for self serve which is convenient but they do come by and bus the table for you. I'll definitely stop by for another lunch. read more

Came here on Sunday for brunch with a few friends. We got there at 11:15am, and there was a line outside of the restaurant. The line moved pretty fast, and we were seated by 11:30am. It is a small and cute restaurant. Our server is very friendly. We ordered 2 cups of break blend coffee, and a cup of cappuccino. We got the coffee pretty quickly, but the cappuccino did not get to us until 20 min later. I also found out that they don't have breakfast tacos on weekends. I felt a bit sad as everyone told me that I have to have breakfast taco in Texas. I ordered chorizo scramble instead. The menu mentioned the the food has to made now it was designed and cannot be personalized (I wish that I can request for no spicy as I cannot eat spicy). The food got to our table 30 mins after we placed the order. My chorizo scramble was very tasty, except that it is a bit too spicy for me. I spent time picking out the green pepper and jalapeño out. The chorizo is very flavorful, and not oily. I might return to try their breakfast taco when I am in town again. read more

Arturo's was recommended to us by the front desk worker at our hotel. It was literally right across the street, so it was super convenient. The person that took our order isn't going to be winning any awards for outstanding personality anytime soon, but they were cordial and professional. We ordered the grilled cheese and chicken Caesar salad. Both were delicious! We didn't try anything else on the menu, so I can't say for sure, but I don't think you'd be disappointed eating here. read more

Not impressed with the brunch food. Eggs in both dishes were undercooked, the English muffin in the Benedict option was soggy, too much ham, potatoes were also not very good. No flavor. From New Orleans. This place would never survive the competition. Only thing that tasted ok was the bacon and wheat toast. read more

People was very attentive and helpful, food was so delicious that next time we visit Austin it is a place to visit again, and the underground decor was so unique and beautiful! Thank you! read more

Cute little Tex-Mex joint near the Capitol. Limited menu, but what they serve is really good. Loving the prevalence of bacon on the menu. Chicken Bacon Jalapeño Quesadilla: Wow, a really great Tex-Mex quesadilla. The bacon is a nice technique for livening up the chicken and cheese. However, the chicken itself was nicely cooked, browned a bit, with nice flavor. Think they might have used yummy thigh meat. But what really seals the deal is the chipotle ranch dip on the side. Key to making it more memorable than most other quesadillas. Chicken Bacon Caesar: It's a salad, yes, but it's covered in bacon and chicken! Plus there's tons of casesar dressing on the side. And two garlic toasts. So it's much more tasty than regular salads. Sweet Tea: So refreshing during a late afternoon lunch outside. Definitely a ton of sugar to sweeten it up. read more

Went here for Sunday brunch while we visited Austin and loved it ! We got the Diablo, Chinati eggs Benedict and I will be dreaming about the Caribbean French toast. We got there Sunday morning around 10:30AM and got seated right away. Service was speedy and super friendly! Would recommend getting there as early as you can if you are in a larger group, we left around noon and there was a line out the door. Will be back next time we are in town. read more

Arturo's only has brunch on the weekends, and I finally got to try this famous Austin brunch spot on a Sunday afternoon. The wait was not very long as the line moved quite fast. Their service was amazing in our experience. Our drinks and orders were done very quickly. I had the Diablo, and my friend had the French toast with bacon. The Diablo was deliciously savoury and filling. The portion size was large, but I finished it easily. I found free street parking (Sunday) extremely close to the restaurant, and there were no other cars parked there, much to my surprise. read more

Food is 3.5 stars, service was 5stars!! Wanted to try AUC after seeing such an amazing reviews, have to say food is good, but nothing amazing or like wowww, but the girl with a nose ring, was super nice, friendly, welcoming and very attentive. You have to order and pay outside, even if you're dining in and that's pretty inconvenient, when you're trying it for first time, as you dunno how service is for tipping and dunno there portion size, for ordering. We ordered migas, egg sandwich on jalapeño bread, coffee and cappuccino. I think they use dark roast coffee, because both cappuccino and coffee was both very strong, but it was good. Migas: it was ok, nothing special, but ask for there green sauce, that's really good but spicy. Egg sandwich: it's a simple egg, cheese, tomato and lettuce in between bread, and again pretty average. Whatever we ordered, portion size were small, one entree for one person is needed, can't share or no leftovers:) And place is kinda hidden, with lot of construction going around the area, and parking is super tight. read more

Me and my partner stayed across the street and went over to Arturo's at 10 am with our two small dogs , they serve a brunch menu on weekends if you haven't been , and there was a good line waiting for them to open the doors , once they did . Everyone was seated fast , and we sat outside with our puppies . Service started off excellently , I had an amazing Michelada, my partner had the mimosa , both were perfect , I ended up haveing another round , there were several items I will certainly return sometime I'm back in town to try , but the Chinati eggs Benedict rocked my world , my partner is a vegetarian , she loved the Migas , and we shared the Caribbean French toast that had pecans and grilled bananas ... left full and completely satisified , all the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. We never even went inside , maybe next time , If you've never been , I'd recommend it , The weekly menus looked awesome too,,, wish I had an option like this close to our home . It was fairly priced for the atmosphere as well! read more

Food was great! We were in town for a college visit and ate there both mornings. Pleasantly surprised by the food. Service was great besides the one take your order. He was pretty crabby and got easily annoyed by you forgetting to give the full order all at once he would recite the options annoyed & even 2nd order said "and again" while nodding his head. That aside I would recommend this spot. read more

Super rude and condescending. Gives a bad impression of Austin's customer service. Wouldn't recommend unless you know exactly what you want and how the restaurant works. Not for someone trying something new. read more

IMPRESSION · Migas = think cut up fried tortillas with scrambled eggs frying together. How could you not like that. I loved this. But, I don't like it when it's made poorly. I'm going to give this a 3.5 and round up. read more

This place is truly a hidden gem in Austin. I've probably driven by hundreds of time and not noticed it. The restaurant is shoehorned into a small space with counter ordering upstairs and dark, vibe-y dining room below. Service is friendly and fast. Sandwiches are ok, but the brunch menu looks better. I'll have to come back and try it sometime. read more

The 4 of us enjoyed several sandwiches, and the Thai chicken salad was wonderful. Not all of chicken, but it was enough.

Arturo's Underground Cafe is a gem. It carries the Austin vibe with an eclectic indoor funky vibe while serving up fantastic food and coffee. If you are in one of the dozens of nearby hotels, it will make your life better to make the walk here. From the menu I had the Migas and my wife had the Huevos rancheros. The unsung hero were the tortillas which come from a local store that makes them fresh daily. These tortillas had just the right chew and softness and grilled heating. This little side item which comes with most meals really added something special to our experience. There is no parking lot, but there seemed to be street parking all around. While they build the new high rise apartments across the street, it's probably best to eat in the decently large seating inside. On the flip side if you like a hint of concrete dust on your eggs, you will be in luck. Everything was great about Arturo's and I hope they and all the other local joints can survive the bougie gentrification of downtown Austin. I will do my part when I'm in town for sure. read more

I went in with expectations to try out their Benedicts but found out it was only a weekend offering. During the weekday, the breakfast options are seemingly a bit limited. I had scrambled eggs with vegetables, and the vegetables were plenty, but eggs were a bit overdone, and with cheese on top, it tasted rather floppy, not quite pleasant. As if it was prepared on a cafeteria flattop, unfortunately. And for this type of offering at the price points they're charging, with unremarkable ingredients, I might as well have gone to a highway breakfast joint just to swallow calories, and save money at the same time. I do have to give props to the atmosphere - it is a nice eclectic place to eat in and relax. I wish they would just pay more attention to the food. Maybe the Benedicts are another story, but for that, I have to wait for the weekend. read more

Came here for breakfast as it's right across the street from the hotel I was staying at. This place is almost hidden because of the construction going on, but don't miss it! Staff was super friendly. I loved the hole in the wall feel of the place. Ordered an iced vanilla latte and French toast with bacon. The French toast is great and filled me up. Bacon nice and crispy. The vanilla latte was solid too! I really liked this spot. If you're looking for a breakfast spot check this out! read more

I would come back here again and again! Everything about this cafe was great. We went for brunch on a Saturday morning as the first restaurant we visited in Austin. I LOVE the vibe! It's exactly what I pictured when I thought of Austin. That eclectic hipster Texan type of feel. The wait staff was amazing and so helpful, even answering questions about what to do to get the real Austin feel. I ordered the Austin Benedict, which included bacon, avocado, and chipotle hollandaise in addition to the usual ingredients. Super yummy! My boyfriend also loved his dish, the Diablo, and ended up buying a loaf of their fresh baked bread because he liked it so much. Their lattes were also great! Very balanced. Definitely recommend this place! read more

Welcome cashier was very personable. The food was .....ok. Two of the 6 of our meals were not correct. The waiter attempted twice to correct it, stating he took the spinach to the wrong table( she ordered scrambled with spinach) eventual she just received a small amount of spinach in a side plate, after more than 25 mins so her eggs and the rest of her breakfast was cold. Cute place but not a top choice for the next visit. read more

YOU MUST TRY THIS PLACE!! I love hole-in-the-wall, dive restaurants, particularly when there's great food being served! I was looking for good coffee and a nourishing breakfast when Yelp suggested Arturo's. I walked over from my downtown hotel and along the way noticed their neighborhood improvements (painted telephone switch box and signs) that start the Arturo experience 100 feet before you walk in the front door. I understand from the owner, who was nice enough to spend time chatting, that Arturo's is much older than the established date of 1996 (I think it was). I got the Bottomless Coffee (love the double entendre, LOL) and two make-your-own breakfast tacos. Coffee was organic and well worth the small bump in price for a bottomless cup. As for the tacos, which were delicious, I should have ordered five tacos, because they were so good. Served with a small cup of house salsa, which was a great condiment, but with a few generous dashes of Cholula I couldn't help but inhale both tacos. Other dishes being served at the tables around me looked and smelled outrageously appetizing. I will definitely be back!! read more

Was in town for a conference and was staying across the street. We happened upon Arturo's for breakfast, and there were already people waiting to get in. We knew then it was going to be awesome. Got the Taterscape and it was incredible. So flavorful, everything cooked perfectly and the best Pico I've ever had. Vanilla latte was great as well. Was with a group of 7 and everyone loved what they had. Can't wait to come back to the area and go back. read more
