Very disappointed in the food for the price. I paid $15 for a plate of 3 tacos that were super small and so soggy that the corn tortilla stuck to the plate. The beans were half cooked and hard in the middle and the rice was the same way. Also this is the first time in my life i have... More

I had the Argentinian steak - it was SO good. My husband had the chile relleno and said his was very good too. The chimichurri sauce for my steak was wonderful, and I "upgraded" to the sweet potato fries, which I love.

We wound up in South by accident. My own version of Leavenworth is to eat schnitzel and wurst and German beer until something is ruptured and they cart you home in das veelbarrow. But...on a sunny, muggy, late Maifest afternoon...we found ourselves seated inside. Everything about South screams "YOU'RE NOT IN LEAVENWORTH ANYMORE. BE GRATEFUL." No lederhosen. No bratwurst. No...

Stopped at Leavenworth on our way back to Seattle. It's like a "Mexican" place in little German town. The food was great, we had platos fajitas and carnitas. Chips and dips are good. Sampler chips are highly recommended. Our server even gave us little history of Leavenworth. Bathroom was really clean too. I would come back again. I hope they... More

South is a little mexican restaurant right in downtown Leavenworth. The decor is bright and festive, a great place to go with a group of friends or family. I recommend starting with the chip and dip sampler, and add a side of guacamole - delicious! They offer two types of chips, a traditional and deep fried chip. The group loved... More

Calling this restaurant a 'Mexican' restaurant is doing it a disservice. If you tell most people you like 'Mexican food' they think of ground beef, gobs of cheese and heaps of iceberg lettuce. Not at the South in Leavenworth. The food here is FRESH and with flavors beyond red chili flakes (and I didn't see any iceberg lettuce!). I was... More

I have to start by saying that this is the nicest, highest class restaurant/bar in Leavenworth. They did an excellent job with the décor. We didn't have any food because we sat up at the bar so we could listen to the live band. The tap selection (microbrews) was pretty good. They had all of the top shelf liquor from... More

South is the premiere Mexican restaurant in Leavenworth. They had great food, although it was a little crowded. I had some enchiladas and they were really good. They had a Margarita special the day we went and we both really enjoyed them. My wife had gone the night before during a conference and so she wanted me to try it... More

Funky, comfortable, south of the border feel. Lots of different salsas to try. Sunny outdoor eating space. Food very good. Authentic Mexican, not "Tex Mex". We stopped for a quick lunch and were very pleased. Very good, attentive service. We'll be back for a Margarita!
