El Arroyo is an iconic local spot in Austin. They make the best hand-squeezed margaritas and serve Black Angus beef tacos (along with many other Tex- Mex offerings) and have since 1975!A quirky marquee is out front on the corner of West 5th and Campbell. Every day they change their bill board with a new pun (everything imaginable). They encourage you to submit your pun on their website and of course have permission to post them. It’s one of those “Keep Austin Weird” things that we all love!They post them on Instagram because everyone loves them. We all need some laughter or a chuckle each day! I always check out to see the new pun for the day.  Hope you enjoy these! Happy Friday!!  08/05/2022

Sellers’s the more you do preparing your home to bring to market the stronger your positi... 08/02/2022
