Mexican Restaurant Near Cedar Park Center?

[Wally Pryor 5261]

Coming from Buda and don't know that area.  Recommendations appreciated. 

[DalTxHornFan 3101]

Dos Salsas on 1431 or Santa Catarina on Cypress Creek should do the trick.

There's a Chuys close by in the shopping center with Whole Foods and Costco.

For cheap Tex Mex it's hard to go wrong with Chuy's. Dos Salsas is also good (huge restaurant and drinks), but I dont think their food is that great personally. There's also a torchys almost next door. Theres a bunch of smaller places but those are the bigger 3. A great texmex spot in Cedar Park/Leander would kill.

Hard to go wrong with Chuy’s but Dos Salsa’s is no good? Wow

Santa Catarina.  It’s more Mex-Mex than Tex-Mex, but the food is very good.  We eat at the one in Lakeway (was there last night, in fact).  If you don’t want interior Mexican, they have fajitas, tacos, enchiladas, etc.

Another vote for Dos Salsas.  Love their Fajitas a la Mexicana.

Santa Catarina is good but it isn’t primarily a tex mex place it’s got more interior Mexican stuff. There is a place cielito Lindo on cypress creek that is very good as well, but last time I went it didn’t serve drinks. My go to in Leander is probably Jardin corona, but dos salsas is an ok alternative.

Jardin Corona is the best option and it is in a strip center on the east side of old 183 and just south of Buttercup Creek.

There are three: pond springs, buttercup, leander

The Leander store is called Jardin Del Rey.  The third Jardin Corona is in Liberty Hill on Highway 29.

[thrillhammer 683]

jardin  corona on pond springs is excellent, but might be considered out of cedar park.  I would submit for your consideration texican café, near lakeline mall.  inexpensive and good quality.  one of the few places in town with cabrito on the menu.

I'll second for Jardin del Rey.......when I am visiting my brother who lives in CP, that is usually the Tex-Mex place we frequent. My Mom lives close to Jardin Corona on Pond Springs which is also very good, but not as close to the Cedar Park Center.

Haven’t been since high school but another vote for the Jardins.

[HornOnTheBayou 8925]

If you're driving up from Buda, Jardin on Pond Springs is your best bet. It's not that close to the arena, but it's on the way.

Mayito's, a complete hole in the wall, mom and pop place, they make their own corn and flour tortillas and the food is super good. Reminds me of growing up in Brownsville. Trust me on this one, I hardly ever make it up there but always stop when I do.

The same restaurant is in Cedar Park within 2 miles of the arena at the Old 183 and Buttercup Creek intersection.

Much closer that Pond Springs.

True, but if you're taking 183A, it's out of your way. And for whatever reason, I've had better experiences at the Pond Springs location.
