Jesus Hernandez and Francisco Cortez opened the second area location of
Santa Catarina Restaurant at 500 Cypress Creek Road, Ste. 170, Cedar Park, on June 20.
The Lakeway-based authentic Mexican restaurant offers lunch, brunch and dinner items, including enchiladas, tostadas, tacos, sopes, ceviche and fajitas. House specials include Camarones Poblanos—jumbo Gulf shrimp sautéed in a poblano sauce and served with rice, nopalitos, queso fresco and avocado—as well as the Pechuga Con Chorizo, which is a grilled chicken breast stuffed with venison chorizo and vegetables covered in salsa chipotle and served with black beans, rice and guacamole.
The restaurant's patio can seat about 100 patrons and also includes an attached children's play area, a water fountain and an outdoor fireplace. Happy hour is offered daily from 4-6 p.m and offers some half-priced appetizers and discounted drink specials.
Hernandez said the Cedar Park location will initially offer the same menu as its Lakeway restaurant but could offer different dishes in the future based on community input.
