Came for the Memes, stayed for the food. The Place has a good vibe. Chips and Salsa were very good, maybe too spicy for the sensitive lot but I enjoyed it. I didn't know what to try so had the El Arroyo special, again it was very good. Had an Original Margarita, the first one was Very very good, so
I have seen posts of the El Arroyo sign messages for years! I was in the Austin area and made a point to carve out time to visit, not only for the sign but to also partake in some TexMex!

I always get chips and queso at every Mexican restaurant I visit, and it was okay, a little on the thick side, almost like they just microwaved
Great location, Decent food (although it has changed since I was here 25 years ago, really disappointed they no longer have blanco queso , but times change☹️), great outdoor patios, great margaritas.
