History and noted menu items

Restaurante Arroyo was founded by Jose Arroyo in 1940. Although its menu has expanded along with its size, its principal claim to gastronomic fame was and is its dishes featuring lamb and mutton, such as barbacoa de borrego (slow-roasted barbecue mutton) and consomme de borrego, soup made from the drippings of the roasting lamb and sheep.

The restaurant has been featured on Rick Bayless' PBS cooking show, "". In terms of size and number of diversions for diners, it is similar to the more famous Denver restaurant Casa Bonita.
