No thanks! I've ended up at charlies way too many times, because the \"boys\" always wanna go! But In my 15 visits to charlies I cannot think of even one time where I actually had fun! Never! Stupid music and just all wrong! No thanks Charlie!

I have mixed feelings about this place.. Its very clean, spacious, and hosts tons of fun activities.. The other patrons were very open and friendly as well which was nice. .

Wasn't particularly impressed. But maybe that's because I am from SF.

Really great food, really terrible ambience. I recommend getting it to go because sitting down to eat will just depress you. \n\nWhen we walked in I thought that the place was under construction as it was nearly empty, consisting only of a few cheap table on a concrete floor.

Ok I'm just going to break it down:\n1. What mexican restaurant doesn't have carnitas?\n2. No complimentary chips and salsa with order.\n3. Rice is very bland\n4. Tamales covered in a green cream sauce, I'm used to the chili verde type. I should have ordered the 'sauce' on the side.\n5. Beans were good.\n\nI don't thin...

Today my daughter went to the LC and they lost the order and she did not get the food for over 45 minutes. The said the order was not placed in 'it was lost for a few minutes'.

I'm from out of town and always want to find a place to get my sopapilla fix, since you can't get them in California. Found this place on YELP and was not disappointed. \n\nNot super fancy, but great traditional options and very yummy tamale with a unique creamy sauce.

For the money I guess it's pretty good. Not really identifiable as Mexican food though. When food arrived it was a mystery. Tamale? It's hidden somewhere under the gluggy white sauce. And enchiladas the same but with a strange red sauce. First bite was surprisingly good but then subsequently lost its appeal. I guess I...

Food was awful! I had a chili relleno and the cheese enchiladas. The chili relleno was caked under a mess of cheese, ground beef, and what looked to be a green chili concoction.

It was okay. The beans were good. The rice was undercooked and a bit dry. My ground beef burrito was mostly tortilla and red sauce. The shredded beef taco was dry and underwhelming. \nI will not be spending my money here again.

Like most places reviews on Yelp in Phoenix, this place is over rated. Okay, it's cheap. Which is great if you just want to eat, but it's nothing special. Found it pretty boring and plain. The interior resembled a jail cell and felt dirty. Won't be heading back anytime soon.

I used to go to First Watch once a week and I strongly recommend this place. The pancakes are to die for and the service is first rate. It i one of the few breakfast places that keeps it real with the sausage, and serves it up many ways (links, patties, chorizo, etc). One of my favorite places in the valley.

This is near my downtown condo, which is convenient since I can eat here multiple times a week without tiring of it.\n\nFree newspapers, great service and friendly staff who remembers their \"regular\" customers, breakfast all day and huge glasses of iced tea - adds up to a very enjoyable, affordable meal.
