Austin Restaurant Fresa’s Opens New Restaurant in Westlake | Eater Austin

"Opening Tuesday, October 3, this Westlake outpost of Fresa’s Chicken al Carbon will be located at 3600 North Capital of Texas Highway, Building A, Suite 110. The menu mirrors the downtown and Bouldin Creek locations, featuring wood-grilled meals including two chickens (achiote-and-citrus and Yucatán-spiced), a chimichurri skirt steak, and a variety of tacos, bowls, and salads built around those meats or vegetables; desserts include ice creams and churros. The Westlake spot will serve cocktails—margaritas in regular, frozen, frozen prickly pear, and frozen avocado varieties—alongside beers and wines, plus nonalcoholic options such as aguas frescas, iced teas, cold brews, and Arnold Palmers made with lemon aguas frescas. Designed by Austin studio Levy Dykema, the space offers indoor and outdoor seating with a patio facing the West Lake Hills and a to-go window for takeout; it sits in a plaza neighboring Jack Allen’s Kitchen. Hours are 11 a.m.–10 p.m. Monday–Friday and 10 a.m.–10 p.m. Saturday–Sunday, with the takeout window open daily from 8 a.m.–10 p.m. Fresa’s began in 2012 as a North Lamar drive-thru under restaurateur Larry McGuire, saw partner changes in 2013 when chefs Rene Ortiz and Laura Sawicki joined (they and Tracy Overath later opened Launderette in 2015 and a South First Fresa’s with indoor/outdoor dining in 2016), and Sawicki left in late 2021; the group is planning a fourth location in Mueller in September 2024." - Nadia Chaudhury
