Calle Sol will expand to SouthPark, serving Cuban and Peruvian cuisine in its second spot
Get ready, SouthPark — FS Food Group is opening a second location for Calle Sol Latin Café & Cevicheria next year.
The popular restaurant’s original location is in the Commonwealth neighborhood near Plaza Midwood, where it serves Cuban and Peruvian cuisine such as:
- Peruvian Ceviche;
- Ham Croquetas;
- Vaca Frita — braised shredded beef crisped with garlic, onions and fresh lime;
- Shrimp Mojo — Argentinian red shrimp sautéed with dry white wine, diced tomatoes, cilantro, mojo and butter;
- Chaufa — Latin stir-fried rice cooked in a wok with snow peas, red peppers, egg, onions, ginger, garlic, scallions, dark soy, jasmine rice and toasted sesame seeds;
- Lomo Saltado — stir-fried strips of marinated beef, red onions, tomatoes, soy sauce, cilantro, French fries, ginger and white rice;
- A rum bar with a series of rum flights, served 7 days a week during lunch and dinner hours (don’t tell your boss we told you about the lunch part!).
Chef Paul Cruz will continue to oversee the restaurant and will be joined by Peruvian-born Executive Chef Juan Albrizion. Albrizion has spent over a decade in Miami, Oakland and Lima, Peru, where he has been cooking Peruvian food for upscale restaurants.
“We have had great success with our restaurants in SouthPark and are excited to bring Cuban and Peruvian cuisine to a whole new demographic,” owner Frank Scibelli said in a statement. “Chef Paul (Cruz) has done a fantastic job establishing Calle Sol in Plaza Midwood and I am looking forward to further contributing to the culinary landscape in Charlotte.”
The 3,800-square-foot location, which will be on Apex Drive near the Hyatt Centric SouthPark, will include a large patio.
