I’ve been going to Loco Charlie’s in Palm Springs for 10 years. Full menu with reasonable prices, full bar and the food is fantastic. The staff warmly greets you and is sure to thank you when leaving. Less than a mile from downtown and none of the headaches of traffic. The owner personally greets you and makes you feel at home. You can’t go wrong with dining at Loco Charlie’s.

This is our go to Mexican place when we are in town. The staff are friendly, Nora especially shines. The food is consistantly great; favorites are the Quesabirria and Fajitadilla. The food comes quickly. They have kept their prices reasonable. The large, well lit patio with heaters (or shade) is so much better than most.

I was born on the Arizona, Mexican border. I know mex food, I cook it! Loco Charlies in P.S. is really good, authentic food, and it is consistently very good. Friends and I eat there on a regular basis. I prefer their patio. Service as always been good, attentive and quick, but not intrusive.

I have been craving fish tacos lately. I did not want cheap takeout, just authentic Mexican food. Pulling into the parking lot, I was happy to see that the Disabled spots were directly in front of the business making an easy straight forward walk into Loco Charlie's. Some eateries provide parking spots but over to the furthest side. Walking up to the patio was an entertaining view of dummies and signs that were very welcoming. The patio area had water misters and seating under a cover. I heard that they recently did a makeover and I was impressed by the colorful characters and writings on the walls. The bar was inviting and beautiful and in my opinion, should have been full of patrons. I am sure it is in the evenings. My server was Michealla and she approached my table promptly. She asked if I wanted chips and salsa and if I wanted mild. I said yes so before I knew it she brought the chips, salsa, water, and a menu. I ordered the fish taco but was not certain if I wanted the grilled or fried fish. She had a friendly personality and was eager to help me decide and recommended the fried fish. So I ordered one fried fish taco and a diet-Pepsi. The fish taco took a little longer than expected, but people in today’s fast-paced world, are so used to order and receive almost immediately. Realizing that the food here is made of fresh ingredients, I was patient. It was definitely worth the wait! My server was right about the fried fish when she stated earlier that it was “really good.” I was not disappointed. The taco was large in size, crisp but eatable tortilla, fried but not oily fish, a ton of slaw on top which had a perfect splash of taste to satisfy anyone. Kudos to the chef!. They are following pandemic social distancing with masks and the staff wore them. This was a very welcoming establishment and I HIGHLY recommend this bar and grill for anyone who craves the best in Mexican food. All in all, it was a good relaxing experience and I will be returning!

This is for the Palm Springs store. STOP PREMAKING YOUR TACO SHELLS!! YOU'RE RUINING YOUR TACOS!! Half the time, you can't chew the tortilla! I know it's probably faster to do it that way, but the QUALITY is HORRIBLE! Make them like you did when you first opened, they were GREAT! Put the meat in the tortilla, close it with toothpicks, and DROP THEM BABIES IN THE DEEP FRYER, LIKE TACOS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE MADE!! Honestly, I'd rather pay extra at Las Casuelas, THEIR TACOS ARE DELICIOUS, AND MADE CORRECTLY!! BTW, the renovations to the PS store came out GREAT.

The local radio stations sell coupon for different restaurants and this was one. My wife and I stopped in because of this and boy am I happy. It’s in a strip mall and it’s much bigger than it looks. It was Saturday night and there was plenty of room. We both ordered the local fajitas and Wow the food was great with plenty of it. The meat was tender and the shrimp was perfect. I hope they don’t change a thing because I will be back

Nobody looks like they want to work here it's such a turn off. Don't go for the older gentleman. He's grumpy or something

Manager Chuck has a hands-on management style that results in quality foods with above average service. The restaurant is clean and attractive and has ample seating both indoors and on the patio. Try it and you will like it. Welcome addition to area under served with nice dinning.

Just opened so had to try it. They have a great selection of menu items at a decent price. All of the staff is very nice and friendly. Located id a shopping complex with good parking but watch the cross traffic in the parking lot. Serve beer and wine but our limited on other drinks. Prices on beer and wine are very good.

Great food and good service. Lots of choices.Had the burrito and nachos. Kids enjoyed it. I would not say it’s the best Mexican restaurant I’ve been to but it was pretty good.

I suppose I could attribute some of my disappointment in this spot because of the fact that they have not yet received their liquor license. They could not even offer virgin cocktails. Only sodas or water or lemonade or iced tea. Thankfully they have a salsa bar here which can be used to brighten up their otherwise very bland offerings. My wife and I both agreed that her cheese enchilada and chile relleno, and my chicken enchiladas verde, all lacked flavour, as did the rice and beans. The highlight of our visit was the chips. They are very tasty and nicely thin and crispy.

Ate dinner during soft opening period so they were not serving alcohol yet. They will soon offer a full bar. Very extensive menu and food is excellent. Staff is friendly, attentive and truly concerned that you have a great experience. Close to Tesla chargers so a nice place for a meal besides fast food!
