Funny Friday's ~ Only in Austin ~ El Arroyo ~ 1.23.2026

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'm always impressed by people who can come up with sayings like this. My mind just does not work that way. Trust you are staying warm and safe in Austin.

It's definitely a lot easier to spend money than to make money, haha.  I hope that you will have a nice weekend, my friend!

Good morning Dorie. January is January with or without resolutions. Brunch with a bloody Mary has been known to happen on rare occasions. And while I don't think of myself as a magician I can make money disappear. Sometimes I wish I had the ability to think of these puns. Stay warm as nature toys with us.

Hello Dorie - the magic message certainly includes some not so mysterious sleight of hand maneuvering.

Hi, Dorie, this is a perfect “only in Austin” post. It captures the personality, humor, and local culture that make a place feel like home, not just a location on a map.

Landmarks like this become part of a city’s identity. They create shared moments, daily rituals, and community connections that go far beyond food and drink.

Great local storytelling and a fun way to end the week with something light, familiar, and genuinely Austin.

Dorie, I think we should skip the first two months of the, and go right into March.

Hi Dorie- I agree with some of the others....how do some of these people come up with these?? I admire their creativity and humor. 

Safe travels back to Austin.
