Birmingham, Alabama-based Ladybird Taco opens Sunday, Oct. 25, in Dilworth.
Why it matters: The opening adds another breakfast taco spot to Charlotte and brings new life to the longtime home of Lebowski's Neighborhood Grill, which closed last year.
Driving the news: Ladybird's Dilworth restaurant, the fifth for the small taco chain which has locations in Birmingham and Nashville, opens at 6:30am on Sunday.
What to expect: Texas-inspired breakfast tacos, coffee from a scratch kitchen. Flour and corn tortillas are handmade daily, along with three house-made salsas: patrón, verde and roja.
- The corn tortillas are made with heirloom corn, which co-owner Gabe Scott says gives them a distinct texture.
- Coffee comes from Hex, with pastries from Whisk & Wood.
Best bites: The menu includes a dozen breakfast and lunch tacos, ranging from $4.05-$5.30, along with queso, guacamole, salads and bowls.
Co-owners Brooks Veazey and Gabe Scott shared their go-to tacos.
- Veazey recommends the No. 1 ($4.30) with tender belly bacon, egg and Monterey jack. He says to add potatoes (35 cents extra).
- His other favorite is the No. 7 ($5.30) with house-smoked brisket, potato, rajas (roasted pepper strips) and queso.
- Scott says you can't skip the No. 6 migas taco ($4.25) with egg, house-made chips, avocado, Monterey jack, green onion and pico de gallo.
What they're saying: "We want to create a space where people can come together that happens to be centered around breakfast tacos and coffee," Veazey told Axios.
Stop by: 1524 East Blvd.
- Open daily from 6:30am-4pm for breakfast and lunch.
