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.

Cliff was a great waiter. The food? A VERY pleasant surprise. Kitcky decor and big rep are all that some names restaurants have to serve you and at a premium price. El Arroyo has a good cross section of Tex-Mex and you can make it as hot as you want or just enjoy the subtle spices. Will definitely return on our next trip to Austin and would heartily recommend you do too! (Yes, they actually change the sign every night!)

Bad service, bad food, bad drinks! Save yourself the runs and go somewhere else. Place should be endorsed by pepto and then condemned and closed.

Food is like going to a school cafeteria in 1975. Where is the nearest Taco Bell?
