Editorial Review

Step inside Califas and you’re immediately hit with a laid-back West Coast energy—a rare find this deep in the Carolinas. The room feels open, sunlight catching on polished tables, with the scent of charred tortillas and citrusy salsas drifting through. Here, SoCal street food collides with Southern hospitality: birria tacos dripping with consomé, Baja-style fish and shrimp tacos bursting with brightness, and an occasional twist like the Birria Grilled Cheese—unexpected but soul-satisfying. It isn’t just another taco joint; it’s a gathering place for California transplants longing for the flavors of home and for locals curious about authentic Cali-Mex done right. The staff move with friendly ease, always ready to make first-timers feel like regulars. Outdoor seating beckons on sunny days, creating an easygoing space where Greenville’s diverse communities mingle over plates piled high. Califas doesn’t just serve food—it connects two coasts, one taco at a time.
