After 13 years, Casa Santa Ana’s Seven Lakes location has added an outdoor patio.
Owner Fernando Ventura says, “This has always been the plan. I’ve wanted to do it for years.”
He wanted to build a patio area when the Mexican cuisine restaurant first opened at that location, but they hit some permitting issues and decided to hold off until later.
Ventura says customers have been excited, since outdoor seating in Seven Lakes is few and far between. The restaurant has added fans to keep the area cool during the warmer months and will eventually bring in removable weather curtains to keep in the heat during the colder months.
Casa Santa Ana worked with Grey Fox Outdoors, a locally owned outdoor furnishing company, for the pergola and outdoor seating. “They are really professional good guys,” says Ventura.
The restaurant will have specials the whole month to celebrate its 13th year. The grand opening of the patio will be Saturday, Sept. 6 and a live Mariachi Band will play from 6-8 p.m.
