Latin cafe and cevicheria’s second location is now open in Charlotte’s SouthPark area

Get ready, SouthPark — FS Food Group has opened a second location for Calle Sol Latin Café & Cevicheria.

The popular restaurant’s original location is in the Commonwealth neighborhood near Plaza Midwood. Charlotte Business Journal first reported the news of the newest opening, which was also quietly announced on the restaurant’s website.

You can expect to find Cuban and Peruvian cuisine, including:

• Peruvian ceviche
• 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

“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 when the restaurant was announced in 2022.

The 3,800-square-foot location sits along Apex Drive next door to the Hyatt Centric SouthPark. For now, the restaurant will open at 4 p.m. daily, with lunch service to come later. A 40-seat patio will open later, as well.
