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. Having lived in Florida and being a bit older and liking a quiet happy hou, no invitation from me. Based on my tecj=hie skills, number two might apply. Finally, being retired, number three does not apply. Kudo to those who decide on the sign choices weekly. Enjoy your day.

Good morning Dorie Dillard Austin TX I like #1:) Some customers by mistake call me Katrina, I correct them by saying " I may look like a hurricane, but the name is Katina, no R" One of the big names that hit here in Florida was named KATRINA, LOL

They always remember my name🌪

I wouldn't be surprised if they named a hurricane after Candice A. Donofrio and I enjoy happy hours with her, haha.
