Funny Friday's ~ Only in Austin ~ El Arroyo ~ 01.02.2026

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.

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... I can relate to the Christmas movie one. I've recorded some but never seem to have time to watch them. It might take me till next Christmas to get through them. :)

One of the bright points of Fridays is reading what the Arroyo has posted over the last week!  We all need a chuckle as we start to focus on what 2026 will bring to us!

I’m told I overthink too much, so I’ll keep this simple and say the first speaks to me!

I officially do not allow Christmas movies to appear on my TV after December 25th. The only exception is Die Hard (which is not a Christmas movie)...bahahaha

Hi Dorie,
I try to laugh at myself before anyone else does, so they know it's ok.  😂

Hello Miss Dorie Dillard Austin TX - I have not seen a movie of any kind in YEARS - yet I do from time to time tend to overthink stupid stuff and laugh at myself a lot! 🤣

Dorie, hope you are enjoying some Christmas movies!   I recorded MANY, and watched some in AZ, but now that I am back, don't have much time.

Dorie the first one is very descriptive of many people.  People tend to overthink things instead of keeping thing simple.

I love that last one since I am definitely that type of person who enjoys laughing at someone who is unable to laugh at themselves, haha.
