SouthBound

Taco Tuesday at South Bound!!!This is my second time visiting South Bound, and once again, it did not disappoint. We came specifically for Taco Tuesday, and the prices were incredibly affordable, especially considering the quality of the food.Phat Gurl Highlights!Street Corn : The street corn was tasty and flavorful...perfectly balancing sweet and savory notes. It was just so much yummy goodness!Nachos: The nachos were not only packed with flavor, but the toppings were thoughtfully layered. There's nothing worse than ordering nachos only to eat all the toppings off the chips, leaving just plain chips behind. Here, the meat-to-nacho ratio was excellent!Tacos: The tacos were outstanding. I'm a fan of authentic street tacos from certain food trucks in the area, and South Bound's tacos definitely passed the vibe check! The Carne Asada taco was a delightful surprise--so delicious that it sneaked up on me like a thief in the night. My boyfriend ordered two extra tacos because I always want "just a bite," proving he knows me well. He chose this spot because it's one of his favorites, and he wasn't wrong.Service:Our experience was further enhanced by the excellent service. Trevor was very attentive and had a great personality, making our visit all the more enjoyable. It was an all-around great experience!

Decent food, horrendous service.Ordered mimosas and drinks, our mimosas stayed empty waiting 15+ mins for each round.Everything we would ask for took 15-30 minutes to get. Probably wouldn't go back just because of the service.

Overall, the tacos were small and the corn tortillas were very disappointing. I wish they were flash fried so that they weren't so brittle. Unfortunately, the tortillas broke apart and lacked the texture and flavor I was hoping for.Jerk Pork Taco (4/5): Nice blend of flavors. The jerk spices paired nicely with the acidity from the pineapple salsa and the sweetness of the plantains. Shrimp Taco (4/5): The shrimp was juicy and the aioli was nice (but not spicy). Brisket Barbacoa Taco (3/5): Tasted like a standard barbacoa taco. Pretty one dimensional. *Service was VERY slow on the Sunday afternoon when I went. RATING SYSTEM5 - Great (Need to get this again)4 - Good (Would get this again)3 - Ok (Might give this another shot)2 - Not Good (Won't get this again)1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this)

We sat at the bar and there was a musician singing and playing guitar on the patio. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming! We got some yummy margaritas and our bartender created a coconut marg on the rocks from scratch (off the menu ). He made us two different ones to try, one that was more sweeter, and one with more sourness! They were both delicious! The food was phenomenal and they have a lot of Gluten Free options. They were all great portion sizes and the flavor was great. The tacos were great heated up the next day (which you don't find to be true often)! Super great place, free parking, great food, yummy drink specials, and tons of space!

I don't understand the low reviews. We had a good experience both with our food and the staff.We stopped in for lunch. It was not busy but it looked like a cool place to hang out. Great outdoor patio and a cool covered patio section. Cool vibes throughout.This is a SoCal inspired restaurant. I had the Brisket Barbacoa Burrito traditional style (fries and all). It took me right back to a typical burrito stand in Southern California.It was very good with $4 beer specials. Definitely worth a try.

2nd time coming here in years and no complaints. Arrived right at 12 pm. on a Sunday, and we were seated immediately. Our waitress Olivia was awesome. Gave great recommendations and was super patient with us. My friend and I ordered from their brunch menu, and she got the cinnamon French toast, and I got the breakfast burrito. All was delicious. The French toast had the right amount of crispy sugar to it, and the breakfast burrito had everything from eggs, bacon, chicken, French fries, beans, and rice. All was delicious and there were no complaints. There was a DJ spinning all the latest in music. I thought it would be much busier when, in reality, it was not, and it was nice to be able to have our little private conversation. Definitely will come back maybe during lunchtime and try other things on their menu.

Tried SouthBound today for the first time for CLT Taco Week! Can't beat $4 tacos. Tacos were delicious! I think they can do without the lettuce and tomato on the side, unnecessary and doesn't go with the flavors of the tacos. Inside is so cute. Feels more casual but not too casual, the perfect ambiance. Love the outdoor area. We will be coming back for brunch on a sunny day for build your own Bloody Mary bar and bottomless mimosas! Margarita was really yummy, and it is hard to find a good marg in charlotte... Queso was good! Tasted like they thicken it with flour, so if you have a gluten allergy be sure to ask (I did not ask). The corn tortillas are really good, not flimsy or soggy or crumbly.

Came here with coworkers for a late lunch. Parking was easy to find in the large lot next to the building. We had a big group and were sat down quickly. Service was great and we got our food within 5-10 minutes. I ordered two tacos and a side: brisket barbacoa, carnitas, and a side of fried plantains. The carnitas were juicy and flavored well with the cream sauce to contrast the savory flavor of the meat. The fried plantains were great and exactly what I was craving. I was really hungry and felt full with this portion of tacos, plantains, and chips and guacamole. I will definitely be back!

Came here on a slow Friday night (which seems like an oxymoron). This restaurant is located in a building that houses other businesses as well, so even though there is a parking lot beside it, it is small. However, there was plenty of street parking. We were seated immediately in a booth towards the front of the restaurant. We ordered chips and salsa for an appetizer and for an entree I ordered the grilled chicken burrito. Our entrees came out before the chips and salsa. As far as food, everything was just good. It did seem a little overpriced for what it was. Overall this was a fine restaurant, which is why the 3 stars. Nothing wowed me, but also nothing horrible. From the service, to the food, to the value everything was average. Will I come back here again? Probably not, but that's just because there are so many other restaurants in the area that I would want to try out first.

Southbound offers a charming retro atmosphere and fresh Mexican dishes. The chicken adobo and carne asada tacos were solid and satisfying, and the queso is delicious. There's plenty of patio seating and space for large groups.
