SHIRLEY, NY — Chico's Tex Mex is set to open at the South Port Shopping Center in Shirley, according to a Town of Brookhaven fire permit posted at the location.
The location formerly housed Island Empanada, which closed recently.
The chain is known for Tex-Mex fare such as tacos, burritos, and bowls.
The chain has other locations in Selden, Bohemia, Commack, and Setauket. There is also a food truck at E-Smoke and Beer Island on William Floyd Parkway in Shirley. It is not clear if that location will continue operating or be incorporated into the new one at the shopping center.
Patch has reached out for comment.
Home Goods was the last business to open at the shopping center.
It opened in October.
Other businesses include Stop and Shop, Kohl's, Old Navy, Famous Footwear, Cold Stone Creamery, and Planet Fitness.
