Funny Friday's ~ Only in Austin ~ El Arroyo ~ 09.04.2026

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 Dillard Austin TX I really like #1. Making someone smile put a greater smile on my face. We don't know what is going on in someone else life and offering a prayer or smile can make a big difference in their life.

Three gems Dorie Dillard Austin TX . If I had to pick just one it would be the last one. A good memory is often a curse to the Christian. Even though God forgets our trespasses and tells us to do the same with others that old memory makes it difficult.

Thank you Bob "RealMan" Timm for picking a favorite one.
