Hands down best enchiladas I’ve had in a while. They’re better than my grandmas but I won’t tell her that. We came for brunch and did not have to wait and in time for happy hour I’m from Corpus Christi so I didn’t know where to go. So glad I was recommended this place because I also highly recommend.

The margarita drinks hit the spot! Got me some 5th Street tacos! Perfect! I love the sign for today…”I don’t always roll a joint. But when I do it’s my ankle” haha!!
Ask for Alexander he was on top of his service and customer satisfaction! 😀

Tried this place out for the first time today and have to say the staff is amazing. Best service I ever had!
They have a pretty good happy hour menu. Cheap and tasty margaritas. We ordered the quesadilla and the nachos from the happy hour menu. Both were very good and large portions.

Happy hour weekdays 2-7 PM – $2.75 margs!! Need I say more? I will definitely be back to try more of their menu.

Plus they have a dog-friendly patio!

We had a great experience. The manager & wait staff were awesome! The beef fajita tacos were great too! BUT the best were the house margaritas. You can’t have just one of the best, smoothest margaritas around! Absolutely loved them!! Definitely recommend!

I hadn’t been to El Arroyo in years and my companion had never been. Now Mexican food in hot weather is not my first choice, so I thought I get a salad.
However, when I saw the sour Creme Chicken I had to go with that. It was delicious, but alas a lot of food. So I hadt to take homeliest ours. By the way they reheated well.
Lastly Becky, our weight person was terrific.
So go for good food and good service.

Never have had bad service or bad food there, and the margaritas are delicious! It’s not top notch Tex-mex but very, very few places are. I love it and it’s a staple in Austin. I always love the signs and I enjoy the atmosphere and layout of the restaurant. I definitely recommend it to people, especially people visiting from out of town.

I’ve lived in Austin since 1999 and have never been to El Arroyo, but my son came to visit from Baltimore and shares the sign every day on his Facebook page. He asked if we could eat at the famous place with the funny signs. So, we did. The food was pretty good and well priced. Service was decent. And, the sign was funny, as usual. I’d definitely recommend it to others.

We were coming from Twin Falls for our first time in Austin and I have to agree the parking experience was a bitch, (but don’t let that stop you from visiting the place)other than that we had a great time with my girl, she wanted some Tex-Mex and El Arroyo made it happened.
Drinks: YES! Margaritas are on point.
Food: I asked for El Arroyo Special, the plate was Texas Size and it was delicious.
