I'm writing this review bc MAN - tough crowd up in yelp and not taking advice from anyone that doesn't even know what a camaron is!
First, the atmosphere and interiors are great - I love that there is space to eat and bring your dog. Also, cool outdoor tables for drinking - plus if there is a long wait you can order food from the bar and it shows up 5 minutes later.
Southbound is not Tex- mex - not going to be covered with beans, cheese, and sliced iceberg lettuce ( this ain't chilis); it's so- cal so it's going to have limited ingredients. I had the carnitas, mole and veg tacos and enjoyed all. I agree that the guac would be better if it wasn't pre made and salsa bar could improve (mango salsa anyone?) Didn't try the drinks but will be back for that. All the bartenders ( who were killing them selves) - it was their first night so I think with time it'll improve but service was great!
