I went to the Arlington location a couple of weeks ago.Our waitress was Sonia J and she was amazing!It was only her 2nd day & I have to eat gluten free.She made sure I could eat and not have to worry.Every question I had,she made sure she found out the answer.I highly recommend this place and Sonia!
Great AUTHENTIC food, wonderful service. Whimsical posts on the board. Relaxed atmosphere. If I'm ever in Austin again, I will definitely be there.
El Arroyo is an Austin staple for good reason, but their team went above and beyond for me. The food was fantastic and the staff was warm and welcoming the entire visit. To top it off, I accidentally left my wallet behind, and they found it and returned it to me with every single dollar accounted for. You can’t put a price on that kind of honesty and hospitality. Incredible food, great people, and world-class service, can’t recommend them enough!

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.
