I'm slowly making my way through the Mexican restaurants in Charleston, and Las Trancas was next on the list.



This Mexican restaurant, located on Corridor G, is a bit newer and more modern than some others in the area.



The menu has the standard options, and I always try to find something that is essentially a burrito covered in queso because mmm.



Las Trancas, I believe, has a few other restaurants in the state.



First, queso and salsa.



I swear, I could just live on the queso.



Enchiladas Mar y Tierra - one potato, shrimp & crab, and shredded beef enchilada covered in cheese sauce!

Mountain Pie Company has a location in Hurricane, and another here in St. Albans.



The really cool thing about this pizza place is that it overlooks the river. So, perfect for those days where you want to relax.



I ordered some pepperoni rolls, which are served with their signature pizza sauce.



The Freaky Greek pizza with olive oil base, Mediterranean feta, tomatoes, spinach, roasted red peppers, Kalamata olives and red onions then drizzled with a balsamic glaze.

Poke has made its way to Charleston!



Bar 101 has a few poke options on its lunch menu - the poke bowl with tuna or salmon, or a tuna poke salad.



This is the tuna poke bowl! Have you tried it yet?

The Spot is the alleged area where the Flatwoods Monster landed.



I love West Virginia folklore. I love even more so that they put an ice cream shop in this place because there's no better combo than folklore and ice cream.



The Spot serves up ice cream, plus sandwiches, fried appetizers, and more. There's a little of everything!



And, they serve "Flavor Bursts," which are those pretty swirled ice cream cones.



But, it's hard for me to pass up anything that resembles a blizzard. So, I got a Reese's "Razzle."


And, an order of fried hot pepper bites.



Have you been?

Chimney Corner Cafe is a fun restaurant that sits in this intersection right before Hawk's Nest.



I've passed it many times, but only recently stopped after checking out the gift shop across the way.



They have plenty of outdoor seating and even a pavilion area which would be perfect for shows.



It's even tiered so everyone could see!



The menu is simple, but they do have daily specials.



Their daily special on this day was pulled pork french fries. That seemed like a perfect snack.



And, here are some views after I went to Hawk's Nest! Never actually made it to this overlook before!



The tram is unique.



And, I even took a jetboat ride!
