Sin Yolanda, a Mexico-born cantina that made its U.S. debut on San Antonio’s River Walk late last year, is bringing its all-day-and-all-night energy to Shenandoah on April 10. The new outpost will move into the former Avenida Brazil churrascaria space near the busy Research Forest Drive retail corridor, offering a menu of daytime Mexican dishes that gives way to a music-and-cocktails cantina vibe after dark.
According to Community Impact, the Shenandoah restaurant is scheduled to open April 10 and will be the chain’s second Texas location. Community Impact lists the address as 1400 Research Forest Drive, Suite 180 and points diners to the restaurant’s social media channels for updates.
Permits and Late-Night Hours
City of Shenandoah planning records show the operator has applied for a Mixed Beverage (on-premise) permit along with a Late Hours Certificate. The filing proposes Sunday through Tuesday hours of 11 a.m. to midnight and Wednesday through Saturday hours of 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. The application, submitted through a licensing representative and listed on the city’s February planning agenda, identifies the suite at 1400 Research Forest Drive, Ste. 180.
From River Walk Origins
The brand’s first U.S. location opened on San Antonio’s River Walk in December 2025, where it built its identity as a restaurant by day and cantina by night, complete with signature cocktails and late-night music. That background is detailed by MySA, while the chain’s menu and hours are outlined on its official site, Sin Yolanda.
What It Replaces
The Shenandoah address previously housed Avenida Brazil Churrascaria Steakhouse, which shut its doors last year and left the space open for a new tenant. The closure at 1400 Research Forest Drive was noted by the Houston Chronicle, which reported that Avenida Brazil had operated there for about eight years.
For menus, reservations and opening-day details, the restaurant’s official site and social media pages remain the most direct sources, and readers can follow local coverage through Community Impact. Once permits and inspections wrap up, Shenandoah diners can expect a mix of daytime plates and a party-ready late-night scene.
