Funny Friday's ~ Only in Austin ~ El Arroyo ~ 10.03.2025

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.

The laughter doesn't stop there—they share these puns on Instagram, drawing in admirers like our very own Kathy Streib, and 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!!

Good morning Dorie. Not a brunch guy or mimosa's either but my wife likes a mimosa from time to time. As for rodeo's I am old enough to have lost count so don't ask. I have a friend who might be the example of the third one an unapologetic. Enjoy your day.

Had to laugh about the Christmas Lights.  I do see  few homes that keep their lights up all year long.....and it looks kind of odd especially in the summer.    We have a lot of lighting in  our backyard but it's not Christmas lights......just pretty soft lighting for ambiance.  Enjoy your weekend Dorie!

Hi Dorie- I love mimosas!!!  When I was staffing offices, we would have mimosas on Friday if we had a good week. We always knew someone who'd had a good week, so ...Mimosas every Friday.

Mimosas are always fun to have Kathy Streib! Good way to celebrate!

Dorie, I find them all funny, except when the Christmas lights are in MY neighborhood.  The HOA frowns on that!

Our neighborhood does too Joan Cox !

I left my house Xmas lights still strung but not to be lit until all the other decorations go up Thanksgiving weekend.  And next weekend will be the Halloween Decs going up.  Going to be another very busy week or more.  m

Hmm, that last one gives me an idea.  I wonder if there are lights that could be left up all year, but could change colors to match the theme of the season, haha.

Hi Dorie:
