Delicious food! The first time we went, the group decided to share the Shrimp Molcajete. I'm not a seafood fan, so despite my friends assuring me I would love it, I ordered carne asada tacos on the side. The taco was good, but I didn't need it, because dayum! That was some delicious shrimp! The sauce was so flavorful I could just have that on a tortilla and be happy. The second time we went back, I didn't bother looking at the menu- I was back for the shrimp Molcajete! The chips and salsa are great, and I'm in love with the crema that they serve also. I can't put my finger on what exactly is so good about it, but I couldn't stop eating it! read more

Charlys Place - Shrimp Molcajete! So delicious! - Tacos Near Me - Rosarito, BCN

This is a great little place! We came here twice once for Lunch and got the Shrimp Molcajete and then again for dinner and got tacos. The Shrimp Molcajete is enough for two people, we were stuffed to the gills. It's a wonderful combination of rich cheesy sauce and shrimp with amazing tortillas. We didn't go when there was Karaoke. It's not really our thing but the food is good! read more

I loved there torta carne asada. Was so delicious I had to have one more for the go. I would would also recommend the soup base food it really calms the nerves after a long stressful day. I would also be a common costumer now that I found this place. read more

I trusted the 5 stars and did not pay heed to the people that posted about the food being average and bland - and I regret it. Cute inside, great bar upstairs, wonderful energy and great staff all of which makes this review hard to write. The food is fresh and nice servings but the taste is shockingly devoid of flavor. The carne asada had no flavor- nice chunks of meat but a little dry and very bland. Spicy salsa was just hot and the regular salsa was uninspiring. I don't think Iv ever had rice and beans in Mexico that wasn't fantastic, in fact we have taken huge to go containers at other places but this was wholly unremarkable. The breaded fish was excellent - they definitely have batter down. We r pretty disappointed. read more

Shrimp Quesadilla is a definite must try. Tacos are really good. Will be back to try the molcajete.

What a way to spend Thanksgiving Day! Great food and great people! Highly recommend the Shrimp Molcajete. Karaoke DJ also very talented. Thx guys! read more

After a amazing trail ride through the hills of Baja, the owner of All the Pretty Horses of Baja rescue recommend Charlys. Not only was it right by our hotel but it was also fabulous. Charlys is a cute little locals place located on the free road between Rosarito and puerto Nuevo. I ordered a garlic shrimp taco, a fish taco and an asada taco. They were each delicious in their own way. They serve all meals with fire roasted jalapeños, creamy chipotle sauce, fresh salsa and chips. Dip the jalapeños in the sauce, you won't regret it. And the best part... The bill for 3 of us with 8 tacos and 4 margaritas? Under 40 bucks! read more

Our first time in Baja and our daughter who lives in San Diego was with us she recommended that we go to this place as she's been here in the past. We were not disappointed, it was fantastic and we got to sing karaoke, met a few surfers and shared the shrimp molcajete and brought the leftovers home for breakfast! Margaritas were flowing and made to perfection. Highly recommend Charly's place read more

Charlys Place - Shrimp Molcajete for three! Yummy - Tacos Near Me - Rosarito, BCN

Fun, fun, fun. Yum yum yum! Yes! A lil something for everyone. Our kids like it us adults love it.

This is one of my favorite restaurant/bars in Mexico. The food is great, (try the garlic shrimp quesadillas), the service is great, and the drinks and prices are great. I've eaten here maybe 50 times in the last 7 years and always look forward to coming back. Charlie's caters to a mostly American clientele and is a great place for special events like cinco de mayo, or a pay per view fight. The owner Jaime takes good care of his customers. This place is a find and worth the drive from downtown Rosarito. Highly recommended. read more

This place is amazing. From the great service to the incredible food--you can't go wrong. However, if several people are drinking margaritas, order a pitcher. read more

I find myself writing more 5-star reviews in Rosarito than in most places and Charly's is no exception. This is my first visit to the Baja so what kind of a tourist would I be if I didn't have fish tacos? My cousin is very familiar with the area and she recommended Charly's. They're more than generous with their starters--fire-roasted jalapenos (I ate 'em all!), three salsas and chips. All the salsas were excellent but the one with crema/sour cream stood out; the waitress kindly provided me with the recipe. We, of course, ordered fish tacos; I added a side of refried beans. The fish is available grilled, con mojo and the traditional fried, which is what we opted for. The fish was hot, flaky and mild--just the way it should be. I've had some state-side that were greasy and not very fresh; this definitely wasn't the case at Charly's. And the beans--oh Lord, those beans! Nothing fancy but the flavor will knock your socks off. Of mention, they have a Fanta brand sangria flavored soda--really good! So do yourself a favor and pay this funky little place a visit. Their menu is surprisingly extensive, the food's great and the staff very friendly and kind--what more could you ask? read more

Love this place. Owners very nice and friendly!! Our sever was very helpful and attentive. Good good food and drinks and they even gave us shots on the house read more

What can I say? It was just an over all blah experience. Not very eloquent but I don't want to be to mean. While we were ordering our food the server kept interrupting us and speaking to others. Very rude. When our order was finally taken, it took this restaurant literally 40 minutes to bring our order. We only ordered three meals. I ordered their house plate which was fish fillet and a few little shrimps on top. Both items had ZERO flavor. The fish came out grilled with lightly breaded egg coating (nasty). Shrimp was the same. The beans were sad and clumpy (slightly better than Taco Bell beans. If your American you know Taco Bell). The rice was also very dry. My kids ordered pancakes to share. They look and tasted like they came out of the box (just add water crap). I was very disappointed based on all the high reviews this establishment received. I do not recommend this place at all. read more

Arrived 15 mins before closing, at no time were we rushed. Very hospitable and welcoming. The food was on point, very fresh and very delicious. The portions were ginormous. Thank you, can't wait to go back. read more

You can't go wrong. They have the best atmosphere you can fine for a gringo looking for some good food, new friends and friendly people. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. Charlie always has time to stop and chat a little bit with you. read more

Charley's Place has a lot of positive's but Food is not one of them. It has a great location because nothing else is around there so your forced to go, the karaoke is lively and they have a funny energetic mc, and the service was definitely top notch. The waiter was attentive, professional and very personable. Now for the negative which is big because this is the main reason people go out to eat, the food. I ordered the chicken quesadilla with guacamole and sour cream. The chicken tasted like it was drenched in salt, you could tell this foul had a sodium fetish. The guacamole and sour cream were nonexistent and come to think of it I'm not positive there was even cheese on it. Ultimately is was the most memorable meal I've ever had but not in a good way. Basically, I paid for salt on a tortilla and the ambience... read more

Awesome view, service and food.. Best molcajete de camarones I of Baja. They have Kareoke night too. Sooo much fun!!!

When a place hits 26 reviews I'm typically pretty much on board with the overall rating but in this case I think that the review for Charly's Place is a little skewed. Average, average, average. They brought out two varieties of salsa, which were only different in color as they tasted exactly the same. This wouldn't be a problem if they were any good but they were watered down and bland at best. Knocking out a quality salsa should be priority number one for a restaurant in Mexico and it's sad to say that they've failed miserably here. On the other hand the fish ceviche tostadas were quite good. The best I ever had? Not by a landslide, but certainly some of the most affordable and the portion size did not suffer. I knocked all the fish off of the tostada, ordered some crackers and went to town. It's sad to say that I couldn't finish it all! No ceviche left behind! Jump in and help yourself, friends. All in all Charly's (has anyone confirmed the spelling of this joint?!) is not a bad place to dip into while cruising the Mexico coastline. Grab a beer, a few tostadas and move onto the next stop - there's plenty to see, eat and drink south of the border. read more

Decided on a stop at Charly's yesterday on our way down to Ensenada from Rosarito for a late breakfast/early lunch based on the positive Yelp reviews. The place is literally right on Route 1 and would be easy to miss if you didn't keep an eye out for the giant Jesus statue on the hill facing it opposite. Luckily I shrieked out "THERE'S JESUS!" and Brandon, half freaked out/half confused, braked just in time to pull into one of the tiny spaces in front of Charly's. The place is small and constructed mostly of bare ply-wood, but initial misgivings went away upon entering a festive, fairly full restaurant with a bar in the middle and open kitchen in back. We were promptly delivered homemade tortilla chips, three different salsas and roasted jalepenos, which we happily munched away on along with my Bloody Mary (skip this, it's ALL Clamato) and his Sprite while we waited for our order. I had prepared myself to dine on "Mexican time" so we patiently let twenty, thirty and then forty minutes pass for our meals. In hindsight, I would avoid going here on Sunday for brunch. It was all large parties of families who apparently arrived JUST before us. I used to be a restraurant manager...I GET IT. But acknowledge the long wait times, please! I finally caught the manager's eye and respectfully mentioned that we'd ordered almost an hour earlier. His response was a nod and "I know". It would have been nice to have been offered another drink at least but it's Mexico, service standards here are completely different. Upon finally receiving the food we were both pleased. My huevos con chorizo were delicious, especially inside the homemade corn tortillas with the chipotle crema brought with the salsa. Brandon's carnita quesadilla was appreciated, too. We had both unfortunately filled up so much on chips while waiting, we both couldn't finish. Final verdict: The food and value were good, the service was lacking. I'd advise visitors to avoid dining here on Sunday around bruch time. read more

They now have 2 bars, a new open air side patio, and a large upstairs dance floor. $1 Taco Tuesdays(and Monday) and now serve breakfast at 9 am daily. The happy hour is Monday-Thursday from 4pm-6pm daily. They even have Tecate on Tap! The Shrimp Molcajete is off the hook! read more

What's not to love about Charly's the margaritas, the queso, the quesadillas, the karaoke! Come here for a good time. Bottom line! No matter how short our trip is to the area or even we are just driving south I try and stop at Charly's. The quesadillas are huge so be warned and the chips and dips can fill you up quickly. read more

Wht a great place great atmosphere great food and great people!! They stop serving food at 9:30 pm little early but they have a bar upstairs that stays open to the wee hours of the AM with band on the weekend!! Owner Jamie is so awesome!! This is our go to place for food and margaritas!! read more

Very nice place, especially during the weekend evenings when we get to listen to karaoke. Food is very good, I am a big fan of their shrimp quesadilla. Everything fast and fresh! read more

This place is outstanding. Brush off bad reviews from spoiled Americans who don't know what they are getting into. No, the food is not the best - it's cantina food in Baja. Go somewhere else for fine dining. Where else can you get a bacon wrapped dog with fries for $3 or a shrimp omelet for $5? The food is cheap and decent. The beers are cheap and the atmosphere is fun. It's not classy, it's not elegant - it's awesome. I got a pretty good shrimp omelet and two beers for $10. The owner is a nice guy- let us park our van in back and drove us home himself when we had too many. The bartenders are cute and friendly. The service can be slow and mixed up, but relax! It's Mexico! You are gonna quibble about an extra $2 on your $50 bill for 4 people? Anyway, this place is great - the only drawback is that the tarp roof and glass walls turn this place into an oven when it's over 75 degrees out and there is no breeze off the water. So avoid the place on calm hot days or you will bake! Other than that, I'll be back soon sipping cold ones loving life. read more

Great place to listen to music and have a cold beer you're treated just like family there

This is a local crowd, with the best, cleanest, freshest, food. At local prices! I ordered shrimp enchiladas, perfect shrimp and great proportions. The molcajetes are 5 star and could have fed myself, my wife and two kids. Burritos are ginormous and my kids love the traditional bottled coke read more

This is a wonderful bar and restaurant. Q 1onderful family runs it. It makes me sad that they have been so irresponsible during the reopening with Covid. No masks anywhere and close crowds. Other restaurants are obeying the rules. Expect a huge Covid outbreak at Charlys soon read more
