About This Spot

Stepping into Loco Charlie's Mexican Grill feels like slipping into the vibrant heart of a familiar neighborhood favorite, where the hum of conversation blends effortlessly with the clinking of glasses and the subtle rhythm of lively music. This is a place that moves with a relaxed, welcoming pace—perfect for lingering over weekend brunch or grabbing a casual dinner that feels more like a shared celebration than a meal.

The atmosphere strikes a unique balance: festive but not overwhelming, warm yet lively without losing its sense of intimacy. Colors, textures, and the soft glow of ambient lighting invite you to settle in, whether you're meeting friends, sharing a family feast, or quietly enjoying a late lunch solo. There’s a rhythm here that feels instinctively familiar, as if you’ve stumbled upon a local secret passed down by neighbors who care as much about your experience as they do the food itself.

At the heart of the experience is a menu that serves up more than just Tex-Mex classics—it delivers a sense of place and story in every bite. From richly marinated fajitas sizzling with vibrant peppers to street-style tacos that invite you to savor familiar flavors alongside unexpected twists, each dish carries a balance of boldness and comfort. The thoughtful inclusion of vegetarian and vegan options alongside traditional favorites ensures that everyone feels welcomed to the table.

More than just a meal, Loco Charlie's extends the feeling of a place where the staff remembers your name, the salsa refill never feels rushed, and the drinks—whether a carefully crafted margarita or a refreshing michelada—are as much a part of the ritual as the food. It’s the kind of spot that turns routine dining into a ritual of connection and care, where the service feels personal without being intrusive.

For those who savor the flavors of Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine but also crave the warmth of a community hub, this is a destination that delivers reliably. Whether you’re indulging in a late-morning chorizo breakfast burrito, savoring fresh guacamole shared among friends, or wrapping up the evening with a robust shrimp taco, Loco Charlie’s leaves a quietly lasting impression—one that’s less about fanfare and more about coming back because it simply feels right.

Whenever I’m in the mood for some Mexican food, I always make sure to come here. The lengua tacos are absolutely delicious, and the patato hard shell tacos are a must-try. And don’t forget to order a mixed drink to wash it all down! :)

Such a great restaurant & bar. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The food was great. I had the Diablo burrito, it's not too spicy but I also lived in New Mexico (as we say there "It's Texas spicy, not New Mexico spicy"). The chips and salsa were also really good. The atmosphere was really cool, it's definitely festive but with its own style.

Even with the best planning, there are evenings when we just need to order out to get a meal on the table. We’ve ordered takeout from Loco Charlie’s many times. The food is always good (AND quick). The staff does their best to get it right. In the one time our order wasn’t perfect, a quick called settled the issue immediately and without question. We’re glad to have Loco Charlie’s in our neighborhood.

Never disappoints. Local spot, cool decor/vibe, amazing staff who remembers your face and treats you like fam. The fish taco is to die for, and the burritos could feed 4ppl. Love this place!

2nd time here and loved it as much as the first time. Had the torta both times. Bread was super fresh and carnitas were fantastic. Nora was my server both times and she is so friendly and great at her job. Looking forward to coming back again and again.

This is fabulous. I live in Mexico and I’m so happy that I came here with my friend who is in Palm Springs. The photo has fajitas, but I had camarones a la diabla and they were spicy but amazing

I live close to Loco Charlie’s so been here many times over the past year, in house and take out. The food is consistently good quality and tasty. Actually on the higher level of most Palm Springs mexi places. Best salsa and chips I’ve found in PS. Remember thou, first round is free. If you want more it’s $2.99. Service has always been friendly and attentive. You can tell they care about your experience and want you to be satisfied. If you have a large party, like most restaurants a service charge will be added. Just think of it as the tip. You’re not required to add additional. Lots of different choices. Read the menu carefully. Different drink sizes, cocktails all priced accordingly. Beers on tap as well as bottles. 3 sizes of draft cerveza. Nice patio with a fountain too for those pleasant days. Away from the tourists areas , where the locals go. Great standby when you just want it good and fast.
