Funny Friday's ~ Only in Austin ~ El Arroyo ~ 07.24.2026

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... the first two are really funny. And I totally understand the need to recover from a vacation.

Good morning Dorie. Whoever thought oof the first one is a genius! Congress is a body of confused opinions and even when they occasionally get it right many still disagree. Presently in a lettuce scare, the queso wins! Enjoy your day and next El Arroyo visit.

We have several vacations we need to recover from as they are all go, go go. As for the lettuce one, not sure there has been enough time passed to consider that one funny yet with the food poisoning.

Dorie I am not convinced Congress fixed the clock.  I will wait until I actually see it.  Something tells me they are going to screw that up too.

Dorie:

I enjoyed all of these but can really identify with the first one. It's always wonderful to come back home no matter how terrific a vacation was, and some have been pretty exhausting.
