Our Story
For almost 50 years, El Arroyo has served up Tex-Mex with a side of laughs on the famous marquee sign in front of our restaurant in Austin, Texas.
Sure, we like to goof around and have a good time, but ask around: Our food is no joke, and our famous salsa is no exception.
El Arroyo is more than just a restaurant, it’s a cultural phenomenon. The iconic marquee sign has become an integral part of the Austin community,
with people from all walks of life stopping by to snap a photo and share a laugh. So whether you’re a local or just passing through, come on by and grab a margarita, some tacos and a few laughs.
