Funny Friday's Only in Austin ~ El Arroyo ~ 8.23.2024

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty ~ 512.750.6899

El Arroyo stands as an iconic Austin gem, renowned for crafting the finest hand-squeezed margaritas and serving up delectable Black Angus beef tacos, among a plethora of other Tex-Mex delights, since 1975!

Situated at the corner of West 5th and Campbell, this local favorite boasts a quirky marquee that captures attention. Daily, the billboard transforms with a fresh pun—spanning the spectrum of wit and humor—making it a delightful fixture at the heart of Austin's culinary scene.

El Arroyo invites you to contribute your own puns on their website, with full permission to showcase them on their marquee. It's a quintessential "Keep Austin Weird" tradition that resonates with the spirit of our vibrant city!

The laughter doesn't stop there—they share these puns on Instagram, drawing in admirers like our very own Myrl JeffcoatKathy Streib, and chef Endre Barath, Jr.! Notably, Debe Maxwell, CRS, is also in on the fun. In a world where a daily chuckle is a necessity, following El Arroyo's Instagram for the latest pun is a shared joy.

Wishing you endless smiles! Happy Friday!!

LOL we really did travel like pirates!  I didn't leave home with out that big map book! Those were the days I traveled all over the country and that book saved me more than once from taking strange roads or mountain passes that really were not meant for cars but rather horses!

Dorie, our summer has really been a hot one, and could use misting every hour.

Dorie it was so humid a couple of weeks ago that the middle one would have been very appropriate.

Good Gracious, I do remember those MapQuest sheets and then being confused as the markings on the roads were not clear.

Oh I had a good laugh about the third one, I remember when we came to Los Angeles 26 plus years ago and I bought a Thomas Guide.... and a year later upgraded it to the laminated version... so when MapQuest came it was already an improvement:)Endre

I remember the days of printing out directions from mapquest, haha.  GPS in vehicles certainly makes getting around a lot easier, unless you have a GPS like Endre Barath, Jr. that takes him to the wrong place on occasion, haha.

Brian England ..I don't know what I would do without GPS! Once in a great while it will route me a crazy way to get somewhere but so rarely I can't remember a time it's happened!
