Had an early dinner here a little before 6pm on a Sunday just in time for happy hour. It was our first time here after one of my clients kept raving about it so I knew I had to try. So happy I did! The vibes and ambience were immaculate and the food and drinks definitely matched. I can’t stop thinking about the ceviche and cucumber marg also one of the best happy hour deals in Austin! Highly recommend!

Everything about this place is great. The food was excellent for both myself wife and myself. Our waiter offered suggestions on drinks when I couldn’t decide and man the one he told me was killer. The staff were all great people and the was from observation of them dealing with some extremely rude customers at two separate times and handling it great. The parking here is a little awkward but not bad. I am looking forward to stopping in at their cedar park location in the future to give it a try.

I have been a patron of the other Santa Catarina locations for a long time and I’m pleased to have found out about this location! The food is amazing and the service is friendly and attentive. The interior of the restaurant is modern yet cozy, and it has its own space in an adjacent parking garage for easy parking. It was a great experience and I can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu!

Just visited the new Santa Catarina Mexican Restaurant in Cherrywood development. It’s a fantastic addition to the neighborhood. The space is in a brand-new building as part of the area’s development, and it already feels like a lively spot for both lunch and brunch.
The food was excellent—everything tasted fresh and authentic. I tried the fajitas, chips and salsa, and the poblano carnitas, and every dish was flavorful and well-prepared. Drinks were also refreshing and paired perfectly with the meal.
The staff was welcoming and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. I can definitely see this becoming a go-to neighborhood restaurant for great Mexican food and good vibes. Let’s not forget about the great decoration and cleanliness!
I anticipate they get busier and parking becomes an issue later on.

Very good Mexican. While they claimed to be very authentic, I found the dishes to be somewhat Americanized. portions are very big. It’s a great place for a date night or a group outing. kind and considerate service.

I came here for dinner last night and overall had a really nice experience. The drinks were excellent and the ambiance was great. We sat outside since it was a breezy evening, and it made the whole atmosphere really enjoyable.
We started with the guacamole as an appetizer, and it was really good—definitely one of the highlights of the meal. I ordered the fajita combo with meat and shrimp. Unfortunately, the protein itself tasted like it wasn’t seasoned much, so it came across a little plain for my taste.
Everything else about the experience was great, though—the drinks, the outdoor seating, and the overall vibe. I’d come back again, but I do wish the fajitas had a bit more flavor.

Loved my brunch Huevos Poblanos dish. Very affordable too – under $20 for a coffee, well plated main dish, and great table service. The ceramic plates and ambiance were quite beautiful too – a good mix of traditional and modern. Would highly recommend!

Santa Catarina is serving up some seriously bomb upscale Mexican in Austin. The atmosphere is stylish and inviting—perfect for a date night or a nicer dinner with friends. The food? Total standout. Everything we had was flavorful, beautifully plated, and clearly made with quality ingredients. Chips and salsa came out fresh and had us scraping the bowl.
That said, for how quiet the restaurant was, the service felt a little too chill. We had to flag someone down a few times, which was surprising given how slow it was. Prices are definitely on the higher side, but it matches the vibe and quality. Overall, it’s a great spot if you’re craving elevated Mexican food with a side of ambiance—just don’t come super thirsty unless you’re cool with waiting for that second round.

My husband and I had an excellent experience here. We came at 11 am on a Saturday and both of us had the chilaquiles poblanos which were very good and I think one of the bests in Austin so far. They had great ambiance music and the service was great as well. Definitely recommend!

Santa Catarina never disappoints! The food is flavorful and authentic — from the crispy chips and fresh salsa to the delicious mains. Service is attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere feels warm and inviting. A great spot for lunch or dinner with family and friends. Highly recommended!
