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. The weekend is so close I am celebrating with a margarita in hand dreaming of the turkey day and pondering turning over a new leaf of the new year. Great sign day. Enjoy your day.

I am always available to talk turkey, especially since I don't eat it! I watched a bit how long it took to cook. All I can say is everyone is crazy...lol

Hello, Miss Dorie Dillard Austin TX when my son and his girlfriend recently visited San Jose (here for a funeral), I could not remember the name of this restaurant, but when I started talking about it, she knew immediately, and said, El Arroyo.

Dorie, cute signs today, as usual. Have a lunch scheduled with a friend on Monday, so margs will have to wait until Monday.

This is definitely the time of year to talk and eat turkey and tomorrow we get our second one, first under out own roof so it should be the best, not to mention the leftovers.

These are always good, and I am beginning to think that every household in Austin must have margaritas on tap, haha.
