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 food brings you in, but exceptional service gets you back. That’s exactly what we experienced today, thanks to Becca. My son was visiting from out of state, and she made him feel instantly welcome while adding so much fun to our lunch
The street tacos were amazing, generously filled with flavorful pork, and the Paloma was the perfect refresher this scorching Austin afternoon.
Great food gets you in the door, but outstanding people like Becca are what...read full review
Ava and her team behind the bar in the kitchen performed like rock stars today. Don’t miss a meal here and ask for AVA by name and ask her how classes are going.

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.
