Santa Catarina Restaurant

Seriously such delicious Mexican food! We came on a Monday evening for dinner. There was a little bit of a wait so we grabbed some margaritas at the bar.Delicious chips and salsa (salsa has a kick!) to start.I tried the shrimp enchiladas ($18) and camarones poblanos ($24). The shrimp enchiladas were divine - the chipotle creamy sauce was rich and flavorful, and the handmade flour tortillas had a delightful bite to them. The Camarones Poblanos was beautifully plated - 5 jumbo shrimp nestled in a pile of rice, avocado, and poblano sauce.The staff were so kind :) All around a wonderful experience. Located in a strip plaza.

The restaurant is comfortable and cozy on the inside with outdoor patio seating on the walk up. I was there around 2pm on a weekday so it was only moderately busy. I was meeting a friend who was running late, so I was quickly seated to wait for her. I got a really good head start on the chips and salsa before she arrived. The chips are not made in house chips which I prefer but they were okay. The salsa was amazing because it was flavorful and spicy. Sylvia was our server and she was helpful and attentive. I was happy to find that lunch specials go until 3pm. My friend got Tacos Del Mar and it was a very full plate that she enjoyed. I got the Spinach enchiladas and I really enjoyed the rice and black beans. The spinach in the enchiladas was not cooked enough and very bland for my taste. They had great potential because the filling was spinach, onion and jalapeño. It needed cheese or a sauce on the inside do bring it all together so that it was a bit more seasoned and cohesive. I'll definitely return to this location but I'd probably order the tacos Del Mar next time.

Great interior mexican food!Chicken dishes are least spicy.Good service. Outside seating is pleasant..

Stopped in for lunch with my buddy. Food was good and service was great. New to the area and exploring to find new places to eat. Coming back here with my family so we can try this as a family.

We came here for brunch on a weekend and there was no wait! It's kind of a random strip mall location in Lakeway, but surprisingly nice inside, and some outdoor seating too. There is bar seating and tables inside.We ordered a chicken fajita plate and huevos toluqueños. Free chips and salsa came with the meal, too.The chips and salsa were good, not the best, but I ate plenty nonetheless!The chicken fajita plate was good, but somehow I felt like there could've been a bit more food for the money. The chicken was super tasty though!The huevos toluqueños were my faaaavorite and would absolutely order again for brunch. Had enough to heat up again for lunch the next day, and it was still good!Would absolutely recommend for Mexican food if in the area.

We had En Nogada Rellenos. And Spinach Enchiladas with Mole sauce added. September 2022 I spent a few weeks in Mexico City just before their independence celebration with my wife and had this dish. It took me back to that place the taste, the sounds, the colors. I absolutely loved it. Thank you for the memory! Since then I have not eaten it, not for lack of trying to find it. I try not to use the word authentic, as it can very kitchen to kitchen but I can say this was prepared the traditional way. The walnut sauce, the use of raisins, and the roasted pork. Please, please, try the En Nogada Rellenos if you want a taste of the traditional Mexico. Soooo delicious, I live in the PNW and I cant find any restaurant that serves this dish. i will have it again on my next visit.

The biggest drawback for me at Santa Catarina is that it lacked ambiance. It was just too loud inside, and not great on the patio either. That's a big reason I go out- otherwise, I feel I might as well eat at home. With the negative out of the way, our waitress was very pleasant, attentive and informative. The prices were reasonable (maybe a little high). The food quality was above average. It was a "good" evening out, but not exceptional. If you're in the area, give it a try on off-hours when it's a little less crowded. That may make all the difference.

Good is excellent! Love the happy hour prices for the nachos and shrimp cocktail ! Pork enchiladas with verde sauce were also a hit!

This is one of my favorite classy Mexican establishments. If you have people from out of state (namely CA) who aren't into Tex-Mex, take them here. The queso fundido with shrimp is epic; you'll probably end up filling up on it before the meal even gets there. Great service and decent prices. Like I said, it's a little higher end than the standard TexMex and it's true interior Mexican dishes. Great date night!

The vibe of this restaurant is wonderful. Unique dishes done in appealing presentations and all I tried tastes incredible, including beautiful vegetarian dishes. I don't think more attentive, professional service can be found.12 of us celebrated a birthday on a rainy Friday night recently. Parking is just beneath the restaurant. The place was filled with diners but treatment was like we were to only guests at Santa Catarina.
