CHARLOTTE — This Charlotte-based hospitality group is writing a new chapter in South End. A fall opening is targeted for The Story of Mi Cariño, a gastro-cantina and the latest venture from B-Side Group.
That hospitality development group is also behind music-inspired bar and kitchen Vinyl, located in the same building in South End.
The 2,350-square-foot Mi Cariño restaurant is 1440 S. Tryon St. That space — formerly home to restaurant Vana — sits at the corner of South Tryon Street and Summit Avenue. Mi Cariño will be neighbors with Wooden Robot Brewery, Pie.zza and cocktail concept Folia.
B-Side first confirmed it had inked a deal for the 85-seat restaurant in October 2023. It plans to invest north of $1.5 million into transforming that location.
Expect Mi Cariño to deliver bold, chef-driven cuisine inspired by Mexico and Left Coast Latino, which is influenced by the West Coast and Pacific Northwest.
