El Arroyo is a constant source of great signage!

How long has El Arroyo been doing signs?

Since 1975, El Arroyo has been serving up Tex-Mex with a side of laughs on our famous marquee sign that stands on the corner of West 5th and Campbell in Austin, Texas.

What adjustments did you make to weather the pandemic?​

EW: When the news first hit, we shuttered all of our other restaurants, brought every employee to El Arroyo, and raised our front-of-house people’s pay to account for missing tips. We knew the questions they were facing—How am I going to feed my family?—were scary and real. After we had less than $200 in sales that first day of the pandemic, we came up with to-go margaritas.


PW: We put up a sign reading, “Now would be a good time to legalize margarita delivery,” and it took off. Our phones and online sales system crashed from being overloaded. Ellis was dragging boxes of internet wires through the rafters and programming phones. We did seven times our ordinary daily volume for three weeks straight and were driving to every area liquor store to load up on tequila. It was powerful to see people come out to support our employees. These times have been so hard, but it’s brought the best out in our city.

Meet the Couple Behind El Arroyo

With to-go margaritas and witty messages on their famous sign, dynamic duo Paige and Ellis Winstanley reflect on their rise as local restaurant legends.

"We are looking for an experienced Head of Cyber Security to lead a team of two cyber analysts, protecting HM Treasury from a wide range of cyber and technical threats."

Mid 50's for an annual salary? In London? One of the most expensive cities in the world? An Army of 3? That's way beyond April 1.

Mostly it says that the iRobot folks care about liability suits. I have one of these little gems and love it but the idea of having one running around in a store where clueless people don't pay attention to anything below eye level (and particularly those distracted moms with strollers - and who can blame them for having their focus elsewhere) well . . .
