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.

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.

This used to be my favorite restaurant. Everything has changed since Clay sold it. This is usually the first place we go when visiting from Houston. We were totally disappointed in the food. My son was handed a skillet of fajitas with a giant hole in the handle protector mitt. He burned his hand pretty badly. To top it all, the bill was outrageous!!! It's such a shame!!

Thanks for the advertisement spam. You have given me a reason not to come. Also, it looks like you are doing poorly, based on the current reviews :P Maybe, change your business model to be more customer friendly?
