SouthBound is a great restaurant. I went in with little expectations because I had heard bad reviews regarding the place, however I went in due to their owners other restaurant Macs speed shop being so good, I thought it would be worth it to give it a try. The restaurant does a great job at achieving the SoCal vibe not only in the food but also in the restaurant decor.
The staff were very friendly and helpful, being that it was my first time. I came with friends and we each got tacos. We had the beer batter fried fish which was very flavorful and flaky, machaca beef which is a slow cooked shredded beef taco, and the pork pastor tacos which is slow cooked pork. The pork pastor taco and Mexican street corn were our favorite, however everything was still delicious. The tacos come in sets of 2 or 3 a side of rice and refried black beans or the rice and charro. I could go out with sides but the tacos were amazing.
I definitely would come back again for dinner or lunch, the atmosphere and vibe is upbeat , casual, and eclectic. I definitely will be back in the summer time for a drink, chips and salsa and tacos. They have a great garage door they lift up in the summer.
