I enjoyed El Arroyo. The food was great. The atmosphere was all that I needed it to be. The staff was friendly, attentive, went above and beyond. I give it 10/10.Staff Stephen and Jason and the young lady( dark hair ponytail ) were great!!!

J’son made this first time experience memorable! He suggested we try the Cactus Kiss and it did not disappoint. We had tacos, enchiladas, a few apps etc.. Reasonably priced and the food was delicious and hot when we got it. Would recommend this location for the food, environment, and friendly staff.

El Arroyo came highly recommended. I figured I’d stop and check it out and get a meal to go.
It was in the middle of the day between lunch and dinner. I ordered a salad and a side of chips and queso. The chips were meh at best.
While the hostess was very pleasant, I cannot say that the food lived up to the expectation.
The chips & queso was like nacho cheese and the serving size of the chips was a small sandwich size bag.
The salad was okay but lack luster. The greens was simply shredded lettuce. It was a bit bland.
Perhaps dinning in is a better experience & portion sizes but I would not recommend take out.

I had never been to this place but my husband used to frequent when he was at UT when it first opened in the 70’s. He said it had not changed the food was really good and Shae waited on us and was super sweet. I would definitely visit again but we do live in Houston. This will be on our list for returns to Austin.

James was an amazing and attentive server that help guide me through the menu to help perfect my order! Wonderful food and drinks will definitely be back again!
My husband and I had dinner here while we were on a weekend getaway for our anniversary. Our food was amazing and we enjoyed sitting outside in the patio. Having never been here, I had high hopes for this Texas icon and it did not disappoint!

Friendly Staff. Food comes out quickly. There actually are 2-3 parking spots in the front (on 5th St.). Main entrance has a ramp. Restrooms are off of the back patio.

I've always wanted to come here when visiting Austin because of the silly sign. I was surprised at the quality of food and margaritas! Everything was AWESOME! I from the queso funido to the fajitas! We lived the chill atmosphere and quiet area. I highly recommend it.
