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.

Solid food, great drinks. What else do you need out of an ATX Mexican joint?

El Arroyo is an Austin classic- from queso to their BBQ chicken enchiladas- and especially their Thursday Rita specials!! Laid back atmosphere- and hilarious signs I hope to drive by daily just to read. While Austin has become saturated w restaurants, don't forget this local laid back biz to hit the spot and an easy-to-get-to location as well (5th- and far west!) do it!!!
