Though the Charlotte area said goodbye to several restaurants in 2022, dozens more this year opened their doors across the region. Those latest additions run the gamut.
Popular barbecue joints like Mac’s Speed Shop, Noble Smoke and Seoul Food Meat Co. added new outposts in Concord, Optimist Hall and the Optimist Park area, respectively. Multiple taco spots made their debut including El Toro Bruto within Resident Culture Brewing’s new location in the Gold District, Velvet Taco and Condado Tacos in South End and Que Fresa in the FreeMoreWest area. And new-to-market pizza parlors such as Wheelz Pizza in midtown Charlotte and The Crust Pizza in Montford Park also opened.
