Funny Friday's ~ Only in Austin ~ El Arroyo ~ 07.17.2026

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!!

Good morning, Dorie... loved the acceptance speech comment. I'm sure there are lots of politicians out there right now who have their acceptance speeches ready that no one will ever year.

Good morning Dorie. Being retired, no acceptance speech. May through the course of life checked my horoscope twice. Not pleading guilty! And while my son was a good kid, flights and the costs often spoiled a good vacation. Who writes this stuff? DO they know me? Never been to Austin, but if I ever do. El Arroyo will be a definite stop.

When you have kids, vacations are always about them. I remember Disney World...TWICE. Fun...but crazy expensive.

I like the first one, someone having an acceptance speech ready in case they get nominated for something, haha.

I enjoyed them all, Dorie, but the 3rd one resonates the most when I think of some of the memorable vacations we've enjoyed...some more than others for a variety of reasons.

Have a good weekend!
