Pretty standard tex-mex for the most part, but pretty good tex-mex overall. Service is top-notch.

Tucked in right where you need them to be for a quick good meal between meetings. Love to tacos almost as much as I do their signage!

Good vibes, average eats. No real complaints but there's plenty of better mexican food joints in the area. Come for the instaPics your girl needs and hang out for the decent drinks.

This is my new absolute favorite place for fajitas. Delicious chips and fresh salsa. Rice and beans are exactly the way I like them. El Arroyo is now added to Dos Salsas as my two top spots in Austin. The only thing that could make this better is if they used more cilantro. I get it though. A lot of people don't like it. I personally can never have enough. Nice job El Arroyo. 👏

We had a great time. The drinks were perfect, not too sweet. Our food was healthy, Cancun avocados. Our service was fantastic, several servers were available.

Worth the trip from ATL! Iconic.

Laura is amazing! The service was friendly and I got my food quickly. Try the Baja shrimp tacos or the avocado salad!!

We love the location, the food,and service top notch menu and a bar. Smoked chicken in a taco, enchilada, or relleno is unbeatable anywhere in Austin. And very reasonable prices. Weekday lunch is a great time, or evenings before music at Donn’s Depot a block away! We love El Arroyo!

Terrible service! Terrible food! The kitchen is filthy! The so-called party room is right next to a garbage area! Do not host group meals here under any circumstances! It’s a nightmare! The food is overpriced! There’s no service! The staff are kind but inexperienced! The food is cheap in quality but sold at a high price!we have 50people each pay $80!Not worth it.

Ordered fries with a beef taco but instead they got me a beef taco with rice and beans.

We went late Friday night and enjoyed the patio. Both my friend and I really like our food with the exception of the queso which tasted like velveeta. We had great service and the environment was really chill.

Amazing specialty cocktails!

Charles Southerland

Decent Tex-Mex food. And yes, out in front of the restaurant that is the Internet-famous sign you've seen in all those memes.
