| - I have heard the good, the bad, and the ugly about Southbound... well maybe not ugly, but definitely the good and the bad. From what I know they had a rocky start, but I went with a co-worker last Friday and our server informed us that they had overhauled and broadened the menu with more tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and salads.
Kicked off of course with the chips and salsa, good spice, not overwhelming. Chips were great. Typical. For lunch I went with the California burrito - carne asada, guac, pico, cheese, and... french fries (and a side of refried black beans)! It was a healthy-sized burrito and packed to the gills with goodness. Meat was perfectly cooked and there were enough fries for you to know that they were there, but not enough to make you feel like you were eating a Happy Meal south of the border. They also have a DELICIOUS smoky hot sauce. The flavor was how I would imagine a spicy campfire on a beach in Cabo San Lucas would taste like - without the Corona.
If Southbound was as bad as early reviews seemed, they have definitely turned it around. Worth a shot if you're craving Mexican without the mariachi band.
