Hello, Charlotte! It\u2019s Tanasia.<\/p>\n

Friday has rolled around again, and I\u2019m back with the latest on few new and familiar food spots that locals are sure to love.<\/p>\n

Read more I tried the food at one of Charlotte\u2019s oldest restaurants. What I got for $25<\/a><\/p>\n

Exploring global flavors should definitely be on your to-do list this weekend. For instance, cheesy birria tacos are always a vibe. If you\u2019re looking for more Latin American cuisine, a new restaurant in uptown is serving up authentic dishes from across the region.<\/p>\n

Slurp on slow-simmered pho, or sink your teeth into warm bao buns at Steele Creek\u2019s newest Vietnamese noodle house. I\u2019m more of a ramen girl myself, but it\u2019s never too warm for a good soup, in my opinion.<\/p>\n

Catch up quick on what\u2019s coming to Charlotte\u2019s food scene:<\/p>\n

Sonrisa<\/a><\/b>, a new restaurant specializing in authentic Latin American cuisines, is now open at Brevard Court in uptown, though an official grand opening celebration is slated for early June.<\/p>\n

A brand spokesperson described it this way: \u201cAs we like to say: we\u2019re not one country, we\u2019re a whole continent of flavor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Expect coastal ceviches from Ecuador, Cuban ropa vieja and Colombian arepas.<\/p>\n

Other options include customizable lunch bowls, burritos and tacos (think: fish, steak and pork belly), plus signature mains like Peruvian chicken, shrimp colonche and vegan sofritas.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for global cuisine with Southeast Asian influences, Pho Steele Creek<\/a><\/b> may be one to add to your \u201cmust try\u201d list.<\/p>\n

The Vietnamese noodle house officially opened May 22, joining the chain\u2019s other restaurants in NoDa and University City. Beyond steamy bowls of pho, customers will find banh mi sandwiches (I\u2019ll take two!), pork bao buns, vermicelli bowls, and fried spring rolls.<\/p>\n

Tammy Pham, operational manager at Pho Steele Creek, told me the \u201cgoal is to create a welcoming neighborhood spot for both quick lunches and relaxed family meals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other menu highlights include:<\/p>\n

Multicultural restaurant, bar and hookah lounge Red at 28th<\/a><\/b> is inviting locals to celebrate its new spot in North Charlotte.<\/p>\n

The bar lounge opened the doors on its new digs Thursday, May 28. Earlier this year, I reported on community reactions after owners decided to close the Dilworth location due to what they described as a lack of support.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cTo everyone who held us down through every delay, every pivot, every \u2018almost\u2019 \u2014 this one is for you,\u201d they captioned a recent Instagram post. \u201cRed has always been built on community. Thursday is just the beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n

Customers can look forward to an \u201celevated\u201d food menu, $25 hookah and neighborhood lounge vibes.<\/p>\n
