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.

We visited last Saturday around 8 pm, which you'd think would be prime dining time. The place was nearly empty and a sign said seat yourself.

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.
