Grew up in Englewood. Have been going to the (Holly South) The South since I was in High-school. Celebrated my 70th birthday day yesterday on the patio with a close group off loved ones. Also had part of our 50 year highschool class reunion at the South a few year back. Needless to say the South has been a anchor in my life. Thank you all. God Bless .(Miss seeing Jerry sitting at first table. RIP brother)

It was super good and attentive service. Food was pretty good! Definitely a nice spot to hit if you're in the area. The environment is super relaxed but fun. We will be going again. They are pretty cheap considering the area

Unbelievable experience, I invited my closest 30 friends out for a night at The South based on how incredible it looked on their website. We ordered the Mega-Quesorito Supreme, all I can say is K-POW!!! One of the best nights of our life's!!!!!

This is a great place for food and drinks. Margaritas are great! They have awesome Mexican food specialties. The Chile Rellenos, the White Chicken Enchiladas, and The Steak Quesorito are all . The staff is top-notch, and the service is excellent even when they are slammed.

Such a treat to come back here after living here in the 90’s and see it still going strong . Authentic, tasty and fresh always . Margaritas are great and it’s also awesome they offer Coors NA that’s ice cold . Everything you order will be good I promise . Staff is always a delight and it’s clean too .

I had a wonderful second experience at The South Restaurant! What a vibe. The bar is filled with locals and regulars 24/7 who are always engaging with the bar staff and return time and time again for their hospitality, strong drinks, reasonably priced beers and exceptional comfort food. Lainie was awesome. I manage fine dining restaurants and have a background in high-volume concepts for michelin restaurant groups. She knew the products, personalized the experience to me and my preferences, and was spot-on with checking in, despite a very crowded bar and a full restaurant when I arrived. I see why the locals returns time and time again for her attentive and down-to-earth hospitality. The food was awesome. I never would have ordered a burrito with French fries, but alas this was Lainie's favorite and it really worked! The texture was spot on, the fries weren't over or undercooked, and actually added a lot to the "everything" burrito. I imagine this is actually not that easy to nail, especially at the volumes they are doing. I really enjoyed it. Chips & Salsa: delicious! And a huge indicator of what the food is going to look like. Attention to detail and flavor, but approachable for everyone (the hot salsa wasn't too hot, the mild was actually mild and had a lot of flavor). I eat a lot of salsa and finished two salsas... so if you're like me (salsa lover), order a second one! I'm a bit of a cocktail snob, and during my first visit (not with Lainie) was a bit sticker shocked on the price jump for a sweet and sour marg with Corazon. I had asked for Casamigos, but was given Corazon (they are the same price here). During my second visit with Lainie guiding the experience, I decided on a bartender poured rocks margarita (still with sweet and sour) but they were strong and $7. Their well tequila is 100% blue weber agave and not bad, so I wasn't excited to upgrade again. I prefer fresh squeezed lime juice in my margs and I'm always willing to pay more for it with a mid/decent Blanco tequila. At this place they do what they do really well, it's not a craft marg bar, so I had a better experience embracing it for what it is. I wish there was at least one mezcal in their bar program. It's my go-to. I get it may not be popular, but at least one bottle would be nice. Price isn't of consequence, but it is a growing category and there are a lot of fun/creative things that can be made with the spirit. Really great experience, genuine hospitality and fun sociable locals. Thanks Lainie, I'll be back... New Local fan :)

Great Mexican food... I’ve been coming to the South for 20+ years and the food is consistently good. The atmosphere inside has definitely improved over the years from a smoky bar to a comfortable Mexican restaurant. The service could have been a little better when I was there but it was memorial day weekend and I believe they were shortstaffed. The food was good and we hope to be coming back for years to come.
