“ Lovely restaurant with amazing service. Servers were warm and patient with our young family. The atmosphere was super fun, with lots to look at and explore. The food, arguably the most important part, was so delicious. Everything we tried was fantastic. Totally recommend. ”
“ Loco Charlie's is a cute spot located near Albertson's grocery store on Sunrise Way. It's basically a strip mall locale, but the menu is huge and everything I've had here is delicious. Service is quick and friendly! ”
“ Have been going here for 11 yrs. They never disappoint, food is great, well stocked bar, service is wonderful & it's a fun place to hang. 5***. I recently had my 70th birthday party there & it couldn't have gone any better! The owner Charlie is a great guy. And they cater too! When in Palm Springs give them a try. You won't be disappointed. ”
“ This is one of my favorite spots to eat when we visit Palm Springs. Been there a few times and the staff has always been very friendly. The vibe is fun and welcoming. Good music, but not too loud so you can still hear everyone talk. The food was delicious and has an authentic taste. We are vegetarians so my partner had a chile relleno plate and I had a cheese enchilada plate. The beans were my favorite--but everything else had really good flavor. Definitely recommend. ”
“ Best mexi in the valley, seriously. This joint has the best salsa I think I've ever had. I come every weekend to drink that salsa. Service is also stellar, super nice people here. Mole is also off the charts. ”
“ Another excellent experience. The food was good and prices were too. Our second time here. I thought I left a review last time, but can't find it. It was a really good experience. This time, we were greeted right away and told to sit wherever we'd like. It was a nice day, so again we sat on the patio. Our sever immediately came with a menu and asked for a drink order. He then promptly returned with drinks and a basket of chips and large cup of salsa (I didn't take photo until it was half empty). We ordered chorizo and steak fajitas. Both came out in a timely manner and were tasty. Service was good. We'll be back! ”
“ While eating at the neighboring El Salvador Cafe, we saw the bright colors on the patio of Loco Charlie's and decided to dine here for lunch the next day. Beto greeted us and let us select any of the tables inside or outside. After we chose one on the patio, he brought over our waters, a basket of chips and two bowls of salsa. The first serving of chips and salsa comes free, but it's an extra cost if you want a refill. The menu here is so extensive and they offer basically everything (and probably more) than what you'd expect at a Mexican restaurant. Beto recommended the fajitas so that helped me narrow down my decision. Overall, he was super personable and we enjoyed conversing with him, connecting on the topic of the Pacific Northwest. CHICKEN FAJITAS ($21.99): A HUGE serving which I'm sure could easily be two portions for many people. The chicken became a little dry as it continued cooking on the sizzling plate, but it had good flavor from a savory and slightly sweet marinade. The peppers and onions were still somewhat crisp and had developed a nice char. A separate plate contained two tortillas, Spanish rice, refried beans, lettuce, pico de gallo and guacamole. For the price, the amount of food was quite generous. I had enough leftovers to make for a light dinner. If you are in the mood for fajitas, but want a smaller serving, consider getting the Fajita Tacos. It's the fajita meat and vegetables, assembled into taco form, also served with a side of beans and rice. Throughout lunch, Beto provided great service and stopped by a couple times to check on us. The owner, Charlie, was also helping out that day and visited our table to say hello. Everyone in my group was happy with their meals, so I'd consider this a solid spot for Mexican food. Side notes: - There is plenty of parking since the restaurant is located alongside other shops and eateries. - The restaurant is not far from the airport. With planes taking off every few minutes, it is pretty loud, so the patio isn't the best place to hold a conversation. ”
