Funny Friday's ~ Only in Austin ~ El Arroyo ~ 08.28.2026

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... that is a well known quote from Dolly Parton and very apropos for most people.

Think about the amazing life Dolly made. People will not only listen to her sing forever, they will enjoy Dollywood.

Dorie, gosh, I love them all, and one of Dolly's statements - it takes a lot to look this cheap was my fav.

My ex used to celebrate when dropping off the kids, she felt it gave her back her freedom. Not sure what she did when we got divorced probably the same.

Dolly my wife would identify with the first one.  She cried from Searcy, AR to Memphis, TN (that is about 100 miles) when we dropped off my oldest son for the first time at college.

Hi Dorie- I love these each week but especially love the one from Dolly.  No one like her!

I love them all - Dolly's would be atop my list but, that first one was appropriate for my 16-year assistant whose 3rd child started kindergarten this week. She had to hide her tears until she drove off after drop-off! My heart went out to her! Oh, how I remember those days, as I'm sure you do too!

Wrong turns on road trips can lead to some wonderful adventures, if they don't cause too much stress, haha.

Thanks for the Friday smile, Dorie Dillard Austin TX! The mix of humor and those little life truths hit just right, and that road trip quote gave me a good chuckle. Thanks for sharing a fun Austin tradition that makes the day feel a bit lighter.
