Food is pretty good! But the entertainment provided by the staff (&customers) makes it fun. Not a place for you though if you are too shy/reserved and don't want to have some fun.

Great place to go outside of your resort. Service is great and the food is fantastic. The portions are very generous so go hungry!

Dont let the fun/silly at times atmosphere fool you, the food is seriously good and so its the service and attention we got. Charlie's Taco and Charlies Burrito were good enough we went back a second time; the Tortilla Soup is very good too as was the guacamole made at table side. The only complaint is that the Mother Margarita... More

Service was very slow and they weren't even busy. Chips were stale and when we told the manager he didn't believe us until he pulled one out and ate it. Then he said sorry and brought us some fresh ones. We only drank water because we had been walking all day and it took forever to get a refill.

We've visited Carlos and Charlie's in other cities but this was a POOR experience. To start if you're attractive expect to be groaped and touched without being asked. I'm a blond with a half sleeve (tattoos) and half my back also has ink. Immediately a waiter comes up with a flashlight and starts moving myntanktop off my shoulder to see... More

Our family really enjoys the action at Carlos and Charlies. The food is decent, but the atomosphere is fun. Don't expect to have a lot of conversation, as there is a lot going on.

If you want a little fun this is the place the friends we were with had a birthday coming up and we told our waiter and he took care of the birthday boy at the end of the meal---ribs were excellent and the balloon man was awesome.
