This Tex-Mex Restaurant Makes People Laugh With Their Funny Signs

Do you know what the fastest land mammal is? While this may not be the technically correct answer, El Arroyo seems to have gotten it right when they said that it is a toddler who’s been asked what’s in their mouth. The minute you ask them what is in their mouth, you will see them run away faster than you ever thought possible as you desperately hope it’s not something too dangerous. 

Who would have ever thought that the day would come when people would be going up to a bank teller with a mask on and ask for some money…especially regular non-criminal people? Probably no one ever thought that would become the norm, and yet, during Covid-19 that is exactly what happened. This funny sign couldn’t express better the craziness of that entire time period and how the world seemed to turn upside down. 

Alright, now this one is probably something that everyone can relate to. Who doesn’t love the sound of the ice cream truck coming around? There is something so exciting about hearing that music and knowing that you can run outside and choose an ice cream from the vendor…all right outside your door. How amazing would this same experience be except with taco trucks? They are already in trucks, so why not drive around? 

While many people were pretty sad about the requirement to social distance and the fact that you were expected to stay away from family and friends for the sake of health, there were some people who learned that a lot of their relationships weren’t the best. Even when the virus is gone, they still want many of the people who were staying away from them to stay far away. No end to social distancing. 

This one is not only inspirational but lovely. El Arroyo took a moment to shout out to all the strong woman. They want to know them, be like them, and raise them. It is truly a good reminder to everyone to support the women in their lives and to raise their children to do the same and to be the same. This is the kind of thing that would bring a smile to many people. 

Although there is lots of controversy around the fact that “phones are listening to people”, some people have decided to embrace the idea and make the best of it. Instead of trying to do online shopping on their own and spend hours looking for what they want, they will just speak aloud what they are looking for and wait for the ads to (inevitably) come to them on their own. 

Most people who have played the game Operation probably were too busy trying to remove the butterfly or rubber band that was stuck inside of the man to notice that the man’s eyes were actually wide open. El Arroyo wanted to see if anyone else noticed and was bothered by the fact that the man was clearly awake for the entire time that he was being “operated” on by the game players.  

This sign is a lovely reminder for the day. Unlike some of El Arroyo’s other signs, this one is more inspirational than it is funny. They wanted to let everyone know that “you’re only as pretty as you treat people”. It is a beautiful quote that people should really take to heart. Before becoming focused and obsessed with their appearance, they should know that how they treat others is far more important in the end. 

Can you imagine what it would have been like for the first person to have a parrot talk back to them? It must have been a pretty shocking experience. After all, you think that, like the majority of other animals, they cannot speak a human language, and then all of a sudden you hear a few words. You’re unsure if they are just repeating you, mocking you, or answering you. 

Just about everyone can relate to this sign that was outside of El Arroyo. There is little more frustrating than leaving your car, walking for a bit, and then realizing that you forgot something crucial in the car. It could be a mask or your wallet or anything that you need to accomplish whatever task you set out to do. But whichever it is, it is so frustrating and angering. 

One of the most shocking aspects of the pandemic had to be the obsession and hoarding of toilet paper that happened across the world. It was honestly crazy to see how many people rushed to the grocery stores to stock up on toilet paper instead of other food essentials. You can guarantee that those people would not survive a true emergency if that is what their survival instincts were telling them to do. 

It’s funny how your entire perspective can change in life after something like the coronavirus pandemic. What people used to think was normal suddenly becomes something unheard of and unthinkable. Take, for example, the idea of blowing out the candles on a birthday cake. Pre-pandemic no one even thought twice about doing something like this, but once corona came into the picture everything changed very rapidly and this was suddenly taboo. 

With the onset of corona and the rise of working from home, people switched all of their real life meetings to zoom ones. Zoom, which was a known platform that could come in handy in a pinch, suddenly became one of the most used things of 2020. Everyone had to take their meetings online and everyone was doing it through zoom. As a result, people were having technical difficulties, especially with their volume. 

People tend to think that coffee is the best way to start the morning, but El Arroyo seems to have a different idea. Maybe it is because they are a Tex Mex restaurant, or maybe it’s just a coincidence, but they think that tequila is a much better way to start the day than coffee. At least, if you want to look at the world with rose colored glasses it is. 

One of the funniest parts of the El Arroyo signs is that they are both accurate and funny, most of the time. This one says “a big nose isn’t an excuse for a mask. I mean, I still wear underwear”. It seems that some people were trying to get out of wearing a mask during corona times by claiming that their noses were just too big for the masks. 

This seems to be like a good disclaimer to put out there for everyone you know. Maybe it would also make for a good bumper sticker. Either way, it is a funny sign to see as you are on your way to work or about to head to a Tex Mex restaurant. There are probably countless people who can relate to this feeling of “experiencing life at several WTF’s per hour”. 

Sometimes when you think of the meaning of certain words that are spelled backward, you will be surprised and shocked by the double meaning. One of the most common ones is that dog spelled backward is god. A less known one is the word boobytrap. Boobytrap spelled backward actually says partyboob. This may not be what you were expecting but it does seem to have a funny sort of irony. 

There is something shockingly accurate about this funny, rhyming sign outside of El Arroyo. After covid, people emerged to be entirely different. Some people came out of the experience as a monk because they became religious. Others came out as a hunk because they exercised a lot. Others became a drunk because they didn’t know what to do with themselves besides drink. And lastly, people became a chunk because all they did was eat. 

There are people who are fashionably late out of choice. And then there are others who are late just because they cannot keep track of time. And then there are people who are late just because they had no desire or care to arrive on time. They wanted to come at a time that was convenient for them…and they will resonate with this sign outside of El Arroyo restaurant. 

You never quite realize how much you need or love or are used to something until you are in a situation where you are without it. People feel that way pretty often when they are in a situation where they cannot curse or swear. They think that they don’t curse a lot, but the minute they realize that they cannot, it becomes clear how much they normally and regularly do. 

Now this El Arroyo is probably one of the funniest ones that they have had yet. They manage to combine a funny saying that many people can relate to and also a concept that will attract people to their restaurant. This is the prime level of marketing as it combines humor with their product in a casual and not ad-like way. Listen to your body, they say as they lure you in. 

Some people greatly enjoy getting dressed up each and every day. They take great pride in their appearance and want to look their best no matter what the occasion. And then there are others who will do everything possible to not get dressed up and to wear the most comfortable house clothes everywhere. These people’s style is known as the “they did not expect to get out of the car”.

If there were a battle of numbers, for which number was the absolute worst, there would be a few interesting contenders. 13 may be the most obvious number that most people think is unlikely and bad. However, then you consider that there is also the 666 number that has people around the world terrified of. But, there is a number that is potentially far worse than both of those put together. 

Everyone loves a good avocado. However, good avocados seem not to love people too much. They have a timeframe of about one day when they are able to be eaten. You can wait for days on end for them to be ripe, wait half a day, and then find that you waited too long. It’s almost as if they do it on purpose. They are trying to avoid being eaten. 

The classic refrain “can’t we all just get along?” to encourage peace in the world has been around forever, though it seems it’s ready for a bit of a refresh. And where better to get a slogan for world peace than from a Tex-Mex restaurant? They do make a good point after all, why can’t we all just be more chill? Our country would certainly be a more pleasant place.

There are so many similarities between the covid pandemic and superheroes, which is actually quite ironic. Most of the similarities come from the fact that both of the incidents and people involved mask wearing. Superheroes wear masks and everyone who lived through 2020 wore masks. If you put together a list of quotes that superheroes said and the same thing that people in 2020 said, you’d be surprised how similar they are. 

If people had the chance to say something to 2020, they would probably have a long list of things that they could say…a long and angry list. However, what is written on this funny sign is perhaps the most relatable. “Alright 2020, take off the wig, we know it’s YOU”. If only the year could just take off its wig and call it a day, that would have been great. 

When you first started reading this sign, this is probably not how you envisioned it ending. You probably thought that it would just be the happy go lucky lyrics from the beloved ABBA song. However, the words took a bit of a turn to fit the vibe of 2020. Although you may be a dancing queen, young and sweet. Instead of being seventeen, you are in quarantine along with the rest of the world. 

Continuing on the theme of covid and the year 2020, this was a common thought during the excessive soap washing and hand sanitizing that took place. People couldn’t smell perfume anymore, they were too busy covering themselves in excessive amounts of hand sanitizer. Although you probably never noticed a new scent for someone (because you were social distancing), the most exciting thing was finding a new scent for yourself. 

What is the difference between a boyfriend and a boy friend? You would say that it is just that little space between the two words. But what does that little space also mean? It means the friendzone. This sign is funny while also being a little harsh. If you are stuck in the friendzone it might be hard to see a sign like this that so accurately portrays your situation. 

It’s funny to think that even mindlessly watching a Netflix show takes too much effort for some people. And they need an even more mindless option of movies or series that you can watch while scrolling through your phone. Sad or not, that is the state of the world. This feature could be very loved. Although they might want to call it “easy watches” instead of “easy to watch while on my phone the whole time”. 

A gym is an interesting place. Most people don’t really enjoy going there. They have a hard time being motivated enough to show up. But then there are some people who love it and will happily go each and every day. As the people at El Arroyo know, there are plenty of people who use the excuse of “I forgot to go to the gym”. What they often leave out is that they forgot to go for 8 years straight.

The things that pet owners do can be quite strange and difficult to understand, especially if you are not a pet owner yourself. One of the common things that pet owners do, as can be seen by this funny sign, is that they go up to a mirror and try to introduce their pet to themself. After all, they probably do not know what they look like, so why not show them? 

It must be a slightly scary realization to find out that your trash may go out more than you do, as this funny sign from El Arroyo suggests. Whether this person is just an introvert or it was during covid time is hard to say, but either way it is quite funny. No one usually thinks of trash as “going out”, but when you stay inside all the time your mind makes you think differently. 

It seems like wealthy people and average people had a very different experiences during the pandemic. While everyone was supposed to social distance, avoid travel, and stay with all of the rules, the rules weren’t quite as strict for some. For example, if you had a private jet, you were good to travel wherever you wanted essentially and could do whatever you wanted. If you have a house with a pool and tennis court, quarantine wasn’t so bad. 

Anyone who has seen a horror movie knows never to trust a clown. If there is one lesson to learn in life, it is this. Clowns may be funny, but they are not fun and they are dangerous. However, this person apparently is at such a desperate state in their life, they are so bored, that they are just about ready to follow a clown into the woods without a second thought. 

Some people simply cannot survive without their coffee. If they don’t have their coffee in the morning, there is nothing that can be done to improve their day. They will be angry and miserable and mean to everyone that they come across. As a result, many addicted coffee drinkers like to say that “drinking coffee in the morning helps others live longer”. It’s worth it even if it’s not great for your health. 

If there are two celebrities who are loved more than any others, it is Sean Connery and Alex Trebek. There is hardly a person anywhere who has something negative to say about them. That’s why this sign is so beautiful. Because they put the thought together of the two of them playing jeopardy in the sky together after they both passed. It looks like the afterlife isn’t looking so miserable in the end. 

In case you couldn’t tell, there are quite a few funny signs on this list that are connected with the fact that people do not want other people around them. They would like to keep strangers away from them at all costs and are willing and ready to do whatever it takes for this to happen. What is a great way to do this? Get a leaf blower for people. 

Have you ever heard of a crastinator? Probably not, since it does not really exist. However, there is a pro version of it…called a procrastintor which you have almost definitely heard of. In case you are wondering what it is like to be the pro version, it is not quite a cool as it sounds as it will probably put you in some uncomfortable situations where you are very stressed. 

This is a good warning to put out there for all people everywhere. If you ever see a toilet in your dream…don’t use it! It may be tempting and you may not be able to control yourself in your dream, but this is most likely a sign that you really have to go to the bathroom. If you want to make sure you don’t wake up to a wet bed, try to actually get up and go to the bathroom instead of using the toilet in the dream.
