South Congress Café

Editorial Review

The curvy ceiling, open floor plan, and retro trim would make the Jetsons feel at ease. The menu is a fusion of Mexican, Southwestern, and seafood. Sacrifice a little style for comfort in the shoe department. You'll be standing with the masses in the can-of-sardines bar area as you inevitably wait for a table. Start with a cucumber martini and graduate to a flight of luscious reds.
