El Arroyo

El Arroyo is a branch of the original in Austin, Texas. It’s great. The food is always delicious as is the service. From fajitas, to tacos, to enchiladas, to some of their specialty dishes, you can’t go wrong. One of our favorites is the guacamole appetizer. Really solid! Overall a great meal and great service. Also if you are looking for happy hour, they have a huge patio area.

I love this place, I’ve been a regular for over eight years now. The food is delicious and the service is amazing.
I just don’t understand why they spent all that time and money in 2017 to redo the patio bar when it’s always closed. The patio bar is the appeal for me and my friends. I used to come here just for the patio bar, but it’s always closed, even on nice weather days. It’s Friday night and the patio itself is open, just not the bar! My friends and I used to come for happy hour at the outside bar several times a week, but now we go elsewhere. Every year I keep thinking it will change, but it hasn’t. It’s the best outside bar in Arlington, in my opinion, yet it’s always closed.
