I have been wanting to come here since it opened but had stayed away based on reviews and to give them time to work out "new restaurant kinks". Stopped on Saturday afternoon while out running errands. It was not busy at all so I grabbed a seat at the bar. I was quickly greeted by the bartender. I ordered a beer and guacamole and chips. They came out within a few minutes. The chips were warm but missing enough salt. The guacamole was good, with small chunks of avocado. I prefer mine to have a bit more zip from jalapeño.
I ordered the Baja fish and the carnitas tacos. You have a choice of flour or corn tortillas. They also came out fast. Baja Fish taco had good flavor, with the pieces of fish being very lightly breaded. The Carnitas taco, also had good flavor but it consisted of one very large chunk of meat. That made it very hard to eat. They have a salsa bar with five or six different salsas you can choose from. They offer small soufflé cups to put them in, and a little metal tray to carry them back to your table on. I see they have made several adjustments since all of the reviews from when they first opened. To include menu item descriptions and also the little metal trays at the salsa bar.
The atmosphere at Southbound is very cool. Very open concept with a huge outside patio and open garage doors at the inside bar. When you first walk in the main entrance, there is a taco window. Not really sure what that's all about but I think you could order food to go from there. I will definitely go back and try some of the other menu items.
