Ok, maybe not a 5 star restaurant, but the best places to eat are always the small ones that are "muy auténtico". Charlie's Tacos always serves a burrito filled with robust and varied flavors and textures. The only fault may be they're too big to consume at a single sitting.A big plus is serving the best (and only, to my taste) habanero salsa, El Yucateco Green.

The ladies running the desk are always nice and polite, while the hombres are working hard in the kitchen. Food is good. People are good. Makes it, well….good.:)Let’s not forget the practically all you could eat chips and salsa and jalapeño:)Won’t find that at Pancho Villa;-)

Service is great. Food is good. Quick and easy. No complaints. The main entry to order food can get a little crowded.Parking: Street parking, can get busy during lunch and dinner.
First time I came here and on my way to our table i looked to see what others were having.. it looked and smelled delicious in there. I had the fish fillet plate. It was cooked to perfection. Even had a bit of toasty edges.. the lady there was really pleasant to speak with..and I could tell she was ready to help in anyway she could. I definitely am going back with friends and family.

I’ve been going to Charlie’s since I was really little. My nanny Bell used to take us here for carne asada tacos and free chips! The family who owns it is so lovely and kind! This place is a must.

Wow! The truth is that this place is one of the Best in San Mateo CA. Truly thought; if you are looking for a good tasting Mexican food restaurant (Taqueria) this is one has to be in your list. Some friends told us about some taco truck all the way in San Jose (I leave in Redwood City) saying that they had the best tacos and when i made it there I have to say that I was disappointed. So now, if I want a good tasting taco or burrito or what ever Mexican food that i want. This is it; Charlie’s Taqueria.RESTROOM: sadly the restrooms are one of the worse in town :( I was in there and i couldn’t literally breath; I had to get out.Please fix this it will make you a 5/5 stars if you just fix that :)
