The eagerly anticipated South Bound restaurant opened up this month in Southend, and it has easily become one of the most whimsical restaurants in the QC.
With an awesome design scheme paired with fresh house-made, Cali-style Mexican food, this place has become an instant hotspot and we can see why!
South Bound was designed with a unique open air concept.
South Bound/Yelp You’ll enjoy the fresh air whether you are seated indoors or out, and the Southern California vibes will make you feel like you’ve been transported to a taco stand beside the Pacific.
South Bound is owned by the management team at Mac’s Speedshop located right next door.
South Bound/Yelp When designing the space, they wanted the restaurant to be a welcoming, summery getaway for Charlotte locals even in the colder months. This is why the restaurant features cool colors, warm lighting, a walk up taco bar, and large ceiling fans to keep the air moving and the environment breezy.
Basically, they want you to feel like you are somewhere like here…

The restaurant has a fully stocked bar with the most premium tequilas and Mexican liquors available.
