Houston’s Mambo Seafood continues to cast a wider net, now snagging a second San Antonio location, according to a state filing.

The Latin American seafood chain plans to build a new West Side restaurant near the intersection of Southwest Loop 410 and Marbach Road, according to a June 5 Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation filing.

The Current was unable to reach Mambo Seafood officials for comment on those plans.

Construction on the new, 8,000-square-foot spot is scheduled to begin in July and finish in November, according to the filing. Its address is listed as 1450 SW Loop 410. 

Mambo Seafood restaurants serve up a variety of seafood platters, fresh oysters and seafood cocktails along with micheladas, aguas frescas and margaritas. The chain debuted in the mid-’90s, eventually expanding its footprint to include 11 Houston-area stores and another in McAllen.

Its first San Antonio location, located in a defunct Joe’s Crab Shack at 4711 NW Loop 410, was set to open in May, but has not yet begun serving.
