Was there tonight and cannot complain about anything. Got table, service, drink, food timely. Liked my El Arroyo Special plate. TThat ain't a gourmet parlor, but, hey, it's more than just allright. So, wanna taste real bad tex-mex food? Go north of the Red River!

I am so glad this place is still going! I loved it when I lived there in the late 90s!

Slow to no service. Tea not refilled the glass picked up and not returned. No refill on chips. After ordering drinks were not asked if we wanted another. Glass just picked up!
