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.

We went in around 3pm on a Monday. The place was pretty empty and we were seated right away. We ordered the loco nachos and the vegetarian fajitas. The service was quick. We expected the nachos to come with the melted cheese. But, this was with shredded cheese which did not taste as good. The fajitas were pretty decent. For the price, the quality did not feel great.

Overall good experience. Service was great, pleasant. Our server was taking care of many tables but still was attentive. Food was good . Shared the carnitas a little light on the guacamole but over all good. Wanted a draft beer but taps were down. We sat on the patio and being in a shopping center the traffic was unnoticeable and overall ambiance was good. I would go back.

A great place to relax on their patio. The Mexican dishes are a nice blend of traditional recipes and American favorites. It has more of a comfortable, neighborhood feel, compared with some of the more touristy spots. The staff if very welcoming and definitely looks after their 'regulars,' and don't be surprised if you see Charlie himself working right along with the staff. Good job, Roger Medanich
Great staff & service, great food & a nice note from Charlie in the take out bag , stating if we need anything let him & the team know :-) Garcias You guys rock

Great Mexican spot with lots of flavor and very cool vibe outside and inside. So let's start with seating interior it's a little small so if you would like to sit inside it gets busy so will be a little wait. Outside since it's still winter a little chilly but plenty of seating also bar area is a few seats. Very cool interior and exterior decorations beautiful murals and paintings inside. Very very cool vide and fun. Let's get to service it was actually really busy in there but service was still good. I think they were a bit short staffed but service was still there and very friendly. Once the food was ordered it was a very quick turn around. But if you're not patient and looking to dine in I would call ahead. Let's get to the food they serve you chips and salsa before your meal salsa very mild which I prefer. But they do have other salsas you can request and very generous portions. Now to our meals I got three combo meat shrimp, chicken and steak very flavorful and tender meat. Generous topping portions to make your fajita. The others in my group got another steak fajita they enjoyed that too. Another person got a fried fish taco she loved it is generous portion but it's one big one so if you're hungry might not be for you or order a couple. Last person got the chicken enchiladas she really enjoyed and thought the sauce was great. Overall great place huge menu breakfast lunch and dinner. I'm sure I will be back because there is plenty to try.

Pros Cute clean place Super nice staff Quick service Good variety of choices Good chips and salsa Good sized portions Cons Not a fan of their enchilada sauce. Not scoring them down for it as that's a personal taste situation.
