" Charlie's is definitely a local favorite! I ordered the shrimp burrito and it was massive and full of flavor. The ambiance is cozy, but don’t expect anything fancy. The array of salsas is impressive too, each adding a special touch to the meal. There is always a steady stream of customers, so you know the food is good here. Their enchiladas were a bit mushy for my taste, but I’ve heard great things about other dishes I haven’t tried yet! " (*Curated Review*)

" Growing up in Southern California, I’ve been challenged to find authentic Mexican food in the Bay Area. Until I found Charlie's! The first bite of their carne asada burrito reminded me of home. Their salsa is full of flavor, and I love being able to mix and match at the salsa bar. The restaurant may not be a five-star establishment, but the food quality and friendly service make it worth every penny. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been searching for a true Mexican taste in the Bay area and Charlie's Taqueria nailed it! The carne asada was tender and seasoned perfectly, and the complimentary chips with different salsa were delightful. The atmosphere is casual yet welcoming, making it perfect for families or a quick bite. Plus, you can't beat the portions; they are huge and incredibly satisfying. Definitely going back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed with my first visit. I tried the chicken enchiladas, and they were overly sauced and not as flavorful as I expected. The service was friendly, and the environment seemed lively, but overall, I was hoping for something with more zest. I might venture out to a different dish next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Nothing beats Charlie's when you're craving authentic Mexican food. From their burritos to their enchiladas, it's all good! Tried their carne asada and it was cooked to perfection. The atmosphere is relaxed; however, it can get pretty crowded during lunch, which is usually a good sign. Highly recommend this taqueria for anybody in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" A bit disappointed, to be honest. I’ve heard great things about Charlie’s, but my experience was lackluster. My fish tacos came drenched in sauce which overpowered the flavor. The service was quick, but it felt rushed. The salsa bar had lots of options but only a few stood out. I might reconsider trying a different dish next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was okay, but honestly, I found it just average compared to other taco places I’ve visited. The cilantro on the carne asada was overwhelming. Service was friendly, but I had to wait longer than expected for my meal. The chips and salsa they serve are unlimited, which is a bonus, but I believe I expected more flavor from the main dishes. I might try it again, but this is not my top spot. " (*Curated Review*)
