El Arroyo is a popular Tex-Mex restaurant in Austin, known for its casual atmosphere and large portions. The food is generally well-received, with highlights like the al pastor tacos, Del Mar enchiladas, and fresh salsa and guacamole. The margaritas are also a draw, though some reviews suggest they could be improved. The restaurant has comfortable seating, both indoor and outdoor, making it a great spot for a casual meal.
The restaurant is now a favorite among locals for its delicious fajitas, chips, and fresh salsa. The rice and beans are cooked perfectly, and the smoked chicken in tacos, enchiladas, or rellenos is unbeatable. Customers appreciate the reasonable prices, especially during the weekday lunch. The patio is a great place to enjoy a relaxed evening, and the service is top-notch. While some have mentioned the queso tasting like Velveeta, the overall dining experience is highly praised.
