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.

The bad thing is we drove down from Waco to celebrate our anniversary. The restaurant was not that busy at all. A total fail from what used to be a favorite eatery in Austin.
El Arroyo is an Austin tradition. Enchiladas Del Mar is the best!
I'm not sure where are these bad reviews are coming from! After living in Austin for a long time, a friend and I decided to give it a whirl. Saw a few things on the menu I've never seen on a Tex-Mex menu including the stuffed zucchini, which I ordered. The verde sauce was tangy, the red sauce had a bit of nip to it, and the black beans were just fine (not a big fan, but these were better than most). Oh, the margaritas...mmmmmmmmm!!!

I go there for lunch every week and they are fast and friendly. Love the food
