Cute local place. Karaoke. Friendly wait staff that spoke English. Menu was bilingual as well. Strong margaritas. We were given house-made chips and three (!) dipping sauces (2 salsa and 1sour cream based one that tasted like garlic and onions. Num!) and a bowl of roasted chilis. We ordered the chicken torta and garlic shrimp burrito. They both were good. Two margaritas, two beers and two meals cost less than the taxi from TJ! I was really surprised when I saw the check. :) They take credit cards with ID. The walk from our hotel (Las Rocas) was a short but dark and along the highway, however if staying here again I'd definitely go back to Charly's. read more

Loved this place. Burritos were good but the fish ceviche was off the charts delicious!!! I'll definitely revisit this place on my return trip. read more

I sure the place will be more for drinks and karaoke. We went for dinner I wish they have a window or a vent in the kitchen because the smell is overwhelming. The food was okay husband loved his tacos I wish I ordered quesadillas because their tortillas are unbelievable good the chips with salsa was way oily so I pass their house shots are a must is really fun and make the group laugh really hard. Service was perfect their Margaritas are delicious, Coca Cola on the glass bottle and prices are great so we will come back for drinks and music read more

This is our favorite place to come on a Friday night! They not only give you chips and salsa, but a yummy queso dip too! They have karaoke and an upstairs bar. We have never not had a great time here. Come here especially on a holiday and you won't regret it!! read more

Such a fun atmosphere. The owner and staff is incredible. You will absolutely have a blast when you come and hang out here. The food is delicious too. I see why the locals love it!! read more

Saw good reviews for this place and decided to check it out. I was very disappointed. The food here was pretty dry and extremely salty. Not only that but there was ants on some of the chairs at the table we sat at. My family and I left feeling bloated from the salty and uncomfortable from the ants. Not the best experience and we will likely not be returning. read more

I won't ever go down to Baja again without making a stop at Charly's. This place is classic. The food was delish, especially the sizzling rock bowl of shrimp goodness. The staff was super dialed in, the vibe was really fun and it was affordable....plus, karaoke. We rolled in with a group of 12 at 5:30pm and ended up staying til 11 or so. Really great time. Charly's staff - if the one of you who took video of our group singing Piano Man on the 4th of July has the video, send me a link!! read more

Solid spot for lunch on the free road. The wet burrito was good, as was the shrimp molcajete. Took a star away for the small margaritas amd shots. Charly is a cool cat and we will definitely be back. read more

Try the molcajete! It comes in the typical Mexican stone bowl and the shrimp is added raw to the boiling tomato and cheese sauce, delicious fresh fried tortilla chips to start and good margaritas. Will go back every time I'm in the area read more

Great food, awesome environment, cool owner!!! Impressed and definitely will visit again... for that shrimp molcajete and a spicy shrimp quesadilla read more

I came here and it was dead. Hardly any customers, low key vibe. I think we were the only customers. Still got treated well. Food was ok. I had a chille relleno and it was all right not the best. The drinks are nice and stiff, happy about that. It was cool I guess read more

Good food and prices. Looks like family restaurant. Nothing really fancy. +16% tax. read more

Friendly place to stop for tacos with a brand new patio upstairs! Super inexpensive with good margis to boot. Just remember they're on Mexico time, aka the time of relaxation. So just sit back order another drink and take your time. read more

This is a great place for the fam. It has an authentic feel. It's must when in Mexico!

If your CA visit takes you a short drive across the border, stop by Charly's for some authentic Mexican Food and some strong cocktails! Take a visit to the newly added upper level - admire the the ocean views and how only in mexico plywood walls and ceilings fall within code. The Shrimp Skewers rock and whatever is in the pink dip, be sure to get lots of chips because if you share me and my friends love for food, you'll possibly be taking some with you as you wait in the border line back home. read more

Was in the area on vacation for a few days , locals recommended this place and I have to stay it lives up to its hype. I had stopped in for a take out order 10 fish tacos and 10 shrimp tacos all fried of course . Had some time before the meal was ready so the owner came over and we chatted a bit I drank a couple Indios and soon as I knew it food was ready. Let me go back a bit, the atmosphere is definitely Mexican but with some what of the American tourism as there clientele as it was Monday and they had the football game on several Americans in the place watching the game which was awesome. Now back to the food took it back to the house and opened up the boxes and BAM! .. Pure deliciousness, the food is mind blowing perfect crunch and cooked just right , seasonings and sauce on top just make it that much better , they serve it with what seem to be lightly fried jalapeños and many they pack a punch. Will be back every time I'm in rosarito with out doubt . read more

Charlys Place - Info on shop phone number and emails - Tacos Near Me - Rosarito, BCN

We came here 2 years ago on vacation and we fell in love but after coming today we are never going back. They got all our orders wrong and got mad at us for saying something about it. You could clearly tell the server was not happy with us saying something about our orders. Then our car's battery died and the owner or manager decided to laugh at us. It was very disrespectful. We will never come here again. read more

Hung out poolside at Las Rocas all day then went to Charlys place next door for dinner. Cool patio upstairs with ocean view. Place was busy but service was still fast. Fish tacos were huge and tasty. Beers were cold. Prices were cheap. Will def go back again. read more

Good food, good drinks. A favorite amongst the local ex-pat americans in Baja. I always try to stop in at least once per trip.

Absolutely a must for our family every time we visit Mexico. We save ourselves all day long for the molcajete. Wonderful!!!

We had a great time at karaoke. The waitstaff was super nice and the karaoke dj helped us have a lot of fun. When it was time to go home our cabbie didn't answer his phone. Two of the waitresses took us home to Gaviotas in their personal cars. It was an incredible touch of hospitality for which we are incredibly grateful. Thank you Charly's! read more

Super cheap and delicious. Most tacos were around $1 . There is a new patio bar upstairs with a view of the water. Server wasn't as friendly as usual wait staff in Rosarito. read more

Charley's was a pleasant surprise. Don't let the exterior mislead you. The place is pretty nice inside. The great food and people make it what it is. The best fish taco we have had. read more

Delicious food! Best place to eat near Rosarito. The owner went above and beyond to make our experience amazing. The authentic food is out of this world. Any time I am back in this area I will come here for sure. Only regret that I don't live closer so that I could eat here more often. read more

Charlys Place - Tacos Near Me - Rosarito, BCN

See all

This is the most authentic Mexican food I've had in my short time out here in Rosarito. We went to El Nido the other night on the recommendation of our hotel concierge, and while more expensive, with venison, rabbit, quail, and other rare meats, it doesn't beat the home-cooked, down to earth, simple-yet-delicious authentic Mexican of Charly's Place. My wife and I sat down and we're greeted with generous portions of just-made tortilla chips, cream dip, bowl of key limes, and, and thick salsa. Neither one of us we're especially hungry, having had a late lunch, but, but the chips we're great. I ordered a Michelada and the waiter schooled me on the different types of savory flavored beers (I had the spicy version afterwards). My wife ordered a bean and cheese burrito, and raved about the homemade tortilla, and ate the whole thing despite being stuffed. My eyes we're bigger than my stomach when I ordered the fish soup and the garlic fish burrito. The soup was rich - tasted like it was being cooked all day, and the white fish was plentiful and fresh. I saved the burrito for the meat day at our hotel, and even though I heated it in the room microwave, it tasted great. I'm used to fish burritos with tiny specs of fish, but this thing was enormous, and it was 90% huge chunks of whitewash fish - sooo good. All this, 4 beers, burritos and soup for $32. Oh, the guys running karaoke was super nice too. Go here. read more
