EAST AUSTIN, TEXAS — Chuy' Tex Mex restaurant, one of Austin's most prominent eateries, is slated to open its first location in East Austin at the developing Plaza Saltillo mixed-use development, according to a published report.

The restaurant will be part of a tenant mix that includes JuicLand, Tarka Indian Kitchen, Dolce Neve gelato, Hopdoddy and others at the complex encompassing six blocks east of I-35 between East Fourth and 5th streets, Austin 360 reported.

“We are thrilled about the opportunity to bring Chuy’sto East Austin," Michael Hatcher, Chuy's vice president of real estate and development, told the outlet.

We are also very excited to continue our partnership with Endeavor Real Estate Group in our hometown of Austin where Chuy’s was born over 36 years ago.”

An opening date has not been announced. Once it opens, it will be the eighth such restaurant in the Austin area and one of almost 40 statewide for the chain that launched in Barton Springs Road in 1982 and now counts 18 states across the country as part of its territory, Austin 360 reported.
