Funny Friday's ~ Only in Austin ~ El Arroyo ~ 9.20.2024

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!!

Hello Dorie - some childhood experiences continue to provide inspiration.  And, at times, a giggle or two too.

Happy Friday, Dorie.
The third one reminded me of what my brother often says:
Every day is a good day. Some days are just better than others. 😊

Hi Susan Mangigian ..I wished you had let me known you were coming to Austin would have loved to have gotten together! You posted today and I tried to comment but you has disabled comments. Did you mean to?

I especially liked the third one too Will Hamm

Oh my!  Thank you for telling me!  I had no idea it was disabled!  It is one of my funnier faux pas too!

I am geographically challenged and at the time, I didn't realize you lived there! It's a fun place!  We were asking a police officer for directions to, I think it's 6th Street (sort of like New Orleans).  The police officer looked at us and said, oh you don't want to go there.  There are other places more for women your age.  Huh?  lol

OMG my older sister used to say 'There are good days and bad days'.  ALL the time!  I remember looking at her trying to figure out which one she was having.  But no worries,  I quickly learned she'd let us know right away!  Then she started a new one which was an improvement I thought.  There are 2 kinds of days - good days and better days.  Now that I could buy into!

Some days are both good and bad, but it's true that it's going to be at least one of those two, haha.
