According to their website, they're the "last queso stop before a bunch of yoga studios," but they aren't just famous for their food. Oh no. What really puts El Arroyo on the map is their brilliant sign. As the restaurant itself points out, "it's kind of a big deal," and it even has its own Instagram account with over 34k followers. The sign, which is changed on a daily basis, features everything from popular culture references, satirical statements, quirky observations and more than a few jokes. Check out some of our favorites below, and don't forget to vote for the funniest. You can even suggest your own by emailing them at sign@elarroyo.com.

This one is my favorite. I'm very close to my nieces and up till about age ten, I'd be run to and called mommy once in a while, and they would catch themselves. I tell you, as a person who couldn't have kids, it was THE best feeling ever. It was an honor and my heart never felt like that in any other situation in my life.
I love how this is a thing that pretty much everyone can relate to
I once called my female teacher "daddy" by accident when I was 5.
I'm a teacher and my students called me "Mom"(behind my back)...So funny!

No, dogs see each other equally. I'm guessing they think "how does his bum smell?" "Does he play tag?" "oh, there's a new friend, I should say hello" we humans have a lot to learn from dogs.

One of my favorite taxi rides ever was in an ex-Soviet country where the driver couldn't speak any English. And I still couldn't understand spoken Russian. He just chatted away and told me about the city. And when I actually answered one of his questions, he was so tickled I thought he'd wreck the car.
Buuuut.....wait. what? Him: speaks no english, you: understands no spoken Russian, also you: answers question from man speaking Russian. 🤔🤔🧐🧐🤯🤯

Every one of these are so clever! Great job, comedy is not easy, I'm impressed!
I really like this one, having lived in Germany I know children are kinder... lol
These are witty and unusual. Anyone would enjoy passing there to see what the 'word' (not just soup) of the day is! Enjoyed reading their signs! <3
I feel like whoever made this really loves tacos I love it but the PUNS have to go!
