Funny Friday's ~ Only in Austin ~ El Arroyo ~ 05.22.2026

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Apex Realtors, LLC ~ 512.750.6899 410939

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!!

I always enjoy these Friday posts and the El Arroyo signs never disappoint. Sometimes a quick laugh and a little humor are exactly what people need at the end of a busy week. Austin certainly has a way of mixing personality, food, and community together into something memorable.

The changing marquee signs have almost become a local landmark of their own. Fun local traditions like this help give an area character and create the kind of stories people remember long after they visit. Thank you for sharing another Friday smile and starting the weekend off on a lighter note.

Good morning Dorie. The signs posted at El Arroyo and offered by you on Friday never disappoint. I don't need Friday to last all weekend especially with this one being a three day weekend. May have the opportunity this weekend for dinner out with friends. Can get wrapped up happily with some tortilla research. Maybe I can combine sign two and sign three this weekend? Enjoy your day.

Dorie, you know with this post, everytime I read them, I KNOW I cannot get green chile here.  I brought 6 cans with me, but went to the grocery store, and no tortillas!
