Funny Friday's ~ Only in Austin ~ El Arroyo ~ 06.12.2026

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!!

Oh boy, can I ever relate to the first one, Dorie. The third one totally cracked me up. As for free samples... just go into a Costco on a Saturday!

I had to chuckle as I read the center sign as the thought of a Costco came to mind and Nina Hollander, Broker  brought it out before me

Dorie, OH MY these were funny!   I found taco shells and salsa at a local store under "world foods", and was nice to have tacos!   Now, if I could just find a margarita!

Good morning Dorie. Interesting how the center signs had most thinking "Costco". Never feel like I am 1,000 but have days when I feel old. As for crunches, I won't forget that one since now I can say I workout regularly with a straight face. Enjoy your day.

Hi Dorie,
I love them all, and some days #1 is too close to reality.

I have never felt like I am 1000 years old, and I hope that I never do, haha.  I have a lot of respect for the people in the Bible who lived hundreds of years, haha.

Hi Dorie:

These are all pretty funny, especially #2. As others say, it reminds them of Costco. I try to go early, when I need to go, to avoid the lines for free samples that take up so much space. I could care less about the samples myself.

HaHa Miss Dorie Dillard Austin TX - I like the last one. Every time I read one of these posts, I start to think about and then crave Mexican food.  The good news is, I am meeting a past client on Tuesday for lunch at a Mexican Restaurant.  My mouth is watering, and it is only 7:30 am.
