About this business

If there is a wait at this popular restaurant, order a classic margarita or a 'floater' and dip into the chips and hot sauce and/or queso. Before long, you will be addressing a plate full of the Tex-Mex standard of your choice. Or try any of the variations on barbecued chicken-the chalupas of this variety are especially tasty. Entrees make this a fairly inexpensive spot, provided you do not get carried away on the margaritas. The atmosphere is fun and lively, and El Arroyo has a sense of humor: Just check out the pointedly w... read more

Austin Classic We love El Arroyo aka The Ditch, We now live in Dallas, but when we are in Austin we have to go back. It is a classic in Austin, you have to stop. The service is great, the food is fabulous and the price is very inexpensive!!!

Yum! Earl Campbell is mentioned in the menu. 'nuff said! I highly recommend the sour cream chicken enchiladas with sour cream sauce. The chips are good, the salsa's good, the staff is great, and the T-shirts are really funny. You'll have to wait at peak hours, and the parking lot is really small, but it's worth it--and I don't say that very often about having to wait.
