Doesn't look like much from the outside but don't let that fool you. Very charming inside and very Mexican in style and decor. Tables and chairs I'm sure were imported from Mexico..or at least great copies of what you'd find in Mexico. Stopped by for lunch the other day and was pleasantly surprised. A friendly greeting from the owner..Covid procedures in place and a nice table by the window. Ordered a couple of margaritas and from the lunch menu, the two of us shared the nachos, (smaller portion). They were Really good..on home made chips and all the condiments. I had the Tostada which was great and my Mrs had the Chrispy Taco which she enjoyed as much. I would say it was one of the best Mexican meals we've had in and about the area. When once we couldn't find a good Mexican restaurant, we've since found a couple..and this, Charlie's, being one of them. We plan on bringing our friends here in the near future... You have to pay a visit. You won't be disappointed.
Went to Charlie's because I wanted to have Mexican and My friend recommended this place. It's a cute little Mexican restaurant in Port Moody. The waiter Charlie is quite the character. He has that dry kind of humour, but he's quite genuine "what you see is what you get." Regardless I don't judge a restaurant by the service .. It's the food I judge.
The food speaks for itself, we loved the rice and the refried beans that comes as a side with the burrito. We shared everything. The little tacos were very nice, light and quite authentic. We had the pork carnitas, and vegetarian one. We both enjoyed the soft corn flour tortilla. The stuffed jalapeno peppers were quite spicy. I was surprised to see carrots and peas in the Mexican rice and in the stuffed peppers.
The servings are huge and generous and prices are very affordable.
I recommend sharing. Then ordering one at a time cause you'll get full.
I was walking by when I spotted this place so I thought I'd have a look at the menu as it was almost dinner time. I am so glad I did.
They made my meal from scratch so I sat on the lawn out front while I waited. I ordered the marisacada. It is easily 3 meals for me and loaded with seafood, so yay for the food tracking on high protein and moderate carbs.
It's also nice to support a local, family-owned business.
