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... love the bad hair day one. Of course for me, as I don't own any hats (hate having anything on my head) I work hard at having a good hair day every day.

Hi Dorie,
I love the Bad Hair Day one. I don't really look good in a hat so I rarely wear one. I do on special occasions, such as a theme day (4th of July, St. Patrick's Day, etc)

Happy Friday, Dorie!

Expert guidance. Exceptional results.

What a fantastic, fun tradition to share with us for Funny Friday, Dorie Dillard Austin TX, and it’s truly humbling that a quirky little marquee can bring so much consistent joy! Your pictures make me think I need to book a trip to Austin just to see what kind of hilarious, pithy pun El Arroyo is serving up today, which sounds like a great excuse for a margarita!

Hello Miss Dorie Dillard Austin TX The signs always make me smile; some make me laugh.

My son is on his way to Austin, Texas as I type. I've been invited to visit him later this month, but doubtful I'll visit in October. When I do, we need to meet up... maybe at El Arroyo.

Hi Dorie:

I enjoyed all of these but #2 is my favorite even though I rarely wear a hat.
