The Spot
Fresa's South First serves wood-grilled meats — achiote and citrus chicken, Yucatan spice chicken, chimichurri skirt steak, aji-glazed Gulf shrimp — sold whole, half, or by the quarter, each plated with charro beans, Mexican rice, grilled onion, blistered jalapeño, corn tortillas, and salsas. Tacos like La Fresa (pulled achiote chicken) and El Rey (slow-cooked brisket) sit alongside bowls, nachos, and a queso and guacamole lineup.

A daily breakfast menu runs mornings with tacos like the migas-loaded Tricky and bacon-heavy Tomas, and weekend brunch adds chilaquiles, huevos rancheros, and a brunch burrito. The bar runs a margarita program spanning classic, premium, reposado, and mezcal styles on tequilas like Cimarrón, Carabuena, and Casa Noble.

It's a Bouldin Creek spot known for its queso, citrus chicken, and margaritas, with a bar side that's built a following of its own.
