The restaurant, which opened in 2018, has been temporarily closed since a March 16 store after strong winds partially ripped off its roof and caused other damage to the property.
“The time has finally arrived!” the online announcement reads.
“… Thank you all for your continued love and support. We truly appreciate our community and can’t wait to welcome you back.”
After months of remodeling, the Santiago’s team is excited to welcome back the community with a new menu and the “same friendly service you’ve always loved,” according to the announcement.
Fresh-squeezed orange juice also will be available.
The New Santiago’s Restaurant is located at 125 N. Third St. in Coopersburg.
