Cali Tacos, originally based in Nitro, has opened a location in South Charleston. They have this bold, red decor with calaveras and graffiti-esque art. 



We went when it was empty to try to stay as safe as we could. That meant we had plenty of space to dine and feel comfortable.



The menu is the same, I believe. I searched until I found something covered in cheese dip - so a chimichanga it was! I went for the "Santa Cruz," which is a chimichanga with shrimp, crab meat, bell peppers and onions, deep-fried and topped with queso and a side of rice, beans and salad.



It's hard to not find something fried and covered in cheese delicious. There's no way around it. It was tasty. I was excited for the tamale, but it was disappointing. It didn't have a lot of flavor and was kinda mushy instead of crumbly. Overall, a decent meal.
