Carlos 'n Charlie's Restaurant

My hubby and I are local and celebrated our Wedding Anniversary in Cromwell... We always struggle with food around But once we found this place ... we were hooked! 3 night stay.. and we ate here 3 times!! We had wet burritos for the first time.. tried the quesadilla and loved the breakfast burrito!!! I Loved the outdoor comfy dining.. colorful spot.. Friendly atmosphere...large menu... I am disappointed there isn't a local location 😆 I think we will be back for date nights! Fast service and to ice the cake, free photos and options for buying them at a low cost. 5 Plus Starts!!!

Belated review! We went back in August, but when we went the food was very good. We were all happy with our dishes, and even though it was a busy night it didn't really take a long time to get our order which was nice. The food did seem a little over priced to me, but it is a spot along the strip so it is in par with strip prices. The inside of the restaurant also has the tables a bit close to accommodate the amount of traffic they get, so I did feel a bit smooshed in our seating area but over all we had a nice dinner together here before moving on to explore the strip more.

Happy hour here is a MUST when looking for a quick bite to eat. The 2 for 1 margaritas will get any Vegas night started off right with a BANG! 😂 Our waitress provided great service and was very attentive. Our food was excellent as well. Highly recommend the enchiladas and especially the taco bowl! But above everything else, the happy hour here is really one of the must dos in Vegas. I would highly recommend!

So go in early there wasn’t much of a wait, but it’s still took a super long time in between getting service and the food. My coffee went completely empty. Several times was never offered water. I was not very impressed. The misters were great to cool down. It was very clean. The bartenders seemed very friendly from what I could see from my table..

This is a great location. Staff is very friendly and attentive. We had the fried fish tacos and “Charlie’s bowl”. The fish tacos were crispy with a yummy sauce. The bowl was delicious as well. We sat inside which is open to the Flamingo casino. It also has an outdoor patio for dining as well. Great spot!

Amazing customer service. Brendan is a phenomenal bartender. Great conversation. Also very talented. Food was great. Drinks specials in the morning 8-noon and 2pm - 6 pm. This is a must try.

We ALWAYS have a great time at this place. We come every year and our 1st stop is to see Brenden at the bar! Great drinks, great food, great drinks prices and even better service. Shout out to Ashley for taking a great Vegas pic of us! Definitely a must visit Vegas spot.

Stopped by Carlos’n Charlie’s on a Friday afternoon around 3 p.m. and was pleasantly surprised—no wait time at all. I grabbed a seat at the bar and was served immediately. The bartenders were attentive and friendly, setting a great tone for the visit. They offer a solid 2-for-1 selection of beers and margaritas, making it a fantastic happy hour spot. I ordered the Carnitas Bowl, and I highly recommend it. The ingredients were fresh, the portion was generous, and it was packed with flavor. Pro tip: ask for their hot sauce—it’s not automatically offered, but it’s a must-have if you like heat. The noise level was medium, perfect for keeping the energy up while still being able to hold a conversation—ideal for solo diners or groups alike. The restaurant accepts both cash and credit cards, which adds convenience. Free Wi-Fi is available through the Flamingo Casino network and offered great bandwidth during my visit. There’s an outdoor patio area that looked really cool and inviting, with views of the Flamingo gardens, although I didn’t get a chance to sit there this time. This place is far from a typical gimmicky casino eatery. Whether you’re by yourself or with family, it’s a great stop. Don’t let the casino setting fool you—Carlos’n Charlie’s is a must-visit if you’re staying at the Flamingo or anywhere nearby on the Strip

Very friendly staff, great food, the micheladas are the best! The specials are great!

Love their Food! Service is very nice and the music and environment amazing! It's our second visit and it gets Better!! Thank you!

Restaurant is nice and has a nice view. Food was great and very attentive! And even better with a nice view

Overall, it was a really cute and relaxed restaurant plus a great way to start our day. They serve breakfast from 8:00am - 12:00pm with drink specials and a breakfast menu! If you're looking for a calm and tummy filling place to start your day this is it! We made it right before noon and were glad we had because the chilaquiles were amazing! Would recommend! Their drink specials are hard to pass up so it was a must! The service was really good and we were frequently checked on, thank you Juan! We were staying at the Flamingo and not only was it in a convenient location but also super good! We'd return to try other breakfast options.

came during happy hour and got their 2 for 1 beer. not a huge selection, i believe there was only 3. the beers came out not cold, i would say lukewarm. also, there is no complementary chips and salsa. the service was okay. staff seem friendly but that is it. the food is not authentic and closer to american style. the wet burrito lacked a lot of flavor and the overall taste was very odd. my friend ordered a side of guacamole for $2+ and it looked and tasted like it came from a package. there was more tomato n onions than avocado. the beef bowl was very basic and just not worth the price. i was underwhelmed and under satisfied.

Let me start this review with a disclaimer: I'm from Texas. I'm a harsh critic when it comes to Mexican food/Tex Mex. I've been told to never eat at Mexican restaurants outside of the south. That being said I'll say Carlos n Charlie's is very average in my opinion. I desperately wanted a crunchy taco and this was the closest place that looked good. The restaurant is decorated really fun both inside and out. I appreciate how much effort they put into the outside still being comfortable during the sweltering Nevada summers. There was lots of shade and misters everywhere so we never felt too sweaty. Our waitress also kept our water glasses full which was very appreciated. Everyone had nachos as we were walking to our seats, so I decided that's what I would order too. They looked incredible. They were turning heads. They looked much better than they tasted. They weren't bad, they just weren't great either. I know nachos are simple and how special can they be? They just weren't very flavorful. I did order a side of rice just to have a lil something extra and it was good. I think this is more of a place to enjoy some drinks, especially if you're coming from the Flamingo pool. We were on the last day of our trip and over consuming alcohol by that point so sadly we didn't partake in the happy hour. Don't let my review sway you. I'd say food, meh. Drinks are probably a lot better and I've walked by at night before and the place is buzzing. So maybe if you're intrigued, stop by and have a few drinks first and then decide if you want to try the food.

Just FYI the nachos are HUGE and are to share, Still Delicious though! The service was pretty good. The vibe was nice- you can look out the window and see a nice fountain! would come again.

We went in looking for happy hour and were informed their only happy hour offerings were the 2 for 1 on select drinks margaritas and daiquiris. No happy hour pricing on any food items. Disappointing , but perhaps that is the Vegas strip, can't be sure as we are from out of town. We decided to stay and split an order of carne asada nachos, it was huge and fed the three of us like a meal for $30. They offered the sour cream, salsa and jalapeños on the side, which was appreciated, however the small amounts (barely more than a tablespoon of each), did not match the heaping amount of nachos. There was adequate cheese, nacho cheese and steak. The service was friendly enough for Vegas.

Love it, , so nice to chill in the sun enjoy the outdoor And half an hour drink buy one get one free oh yeah, can't go wrong with that. Customer service was great.

Located in the casino, within the Flamingo Hotel, this restaurant offers delightful food for a casual atmosphere! Shoutout to our server, AJ, for the best customer service experience ever! A little dingy, the tables in some sections weren't the cleanest, so we moved to another table in the restaurant. I ordered Charlie's bowl, and it was surprisingly good. Great combination of flavors, that will satisfy your cravings. Portions are a little on the small side, but I'm fine with that. Prices are fair, in my opinion. I was happy!

Rotating drink specials, margarita boats, Misters on power ranger mode. What is not to like? Brandon and Rob were great, but some people from the day club made me uneasy. The vibe was great till the pool closed

the wait staff was super kind and accommodating to our party of 10! attentive service and great ambiance,thanks for having us!

Happy Hour is a great vibe and service is great! Would highly recommend if you're on the strip stopping by for some food and drinks. Staying at the Flamingo and definitely coming back again soon!

I love Mexican food, and wherever I travel, I always like to explore and try different Mexican restaurants. Last week, I decided to have Mexican food, but the service that day was terrible. It was Super Bowl night, and I ordered chicken enchiladas. At first, they brought me a plate, but then they took it back, saying it wasn't mine. After about five minutes, they gave me another plate and told me that was my order. I told them this was not the way to treat customers. On top of that, they never even asked if I needed anything, like water. I was so upset that I just asked them to charge it to my room and left. Later, I spoke to the manager, Luis, and explained everything that had happened. He told me he would check the cameras and get back to me. When he did, he was incredibly nice and respectful. I loved the way he talked to me--he was so kind, always smiling, and truly took care of me. This time, the service was excellent, and the food was hot and delicious. The last time, the food was cold, and I didn't enjoy it because of how late it arrived. But Luis completely changed my experience. He personally asked what I needed, and the food was served hot and with care. I absolutely loved the chicken fajita platter, the nachos, and the guacamole--it was made with love. Honestly, I would have given this place a -5 star rating, but only because of the Manager Luis, I'm giving it 4 stars. The food was amazing, served hot, and with love. Whenever you visit, make sure to check in with Luis--he is the best of the best!

This is a fun restaurant! This was in our hotel The Flamingo. The food is your Mexican flare, and the bartender and servers make it fun! If you're into shots or having a birthday the servers break out the tequila and everyone joins in the fun with a shot down the throat!! The look of the restaurant is super cute, inside and out very unique with different designs and props inside the restaurant! The bartender is a hoot!! Good fun! The service is spot on, the prices are reasonable, there breakfast is incredible! Give it a try!

So, the bartender has been extraordinarily generous with his pours, so I'm writing this under the influence. No, seriously, we truly enjoyed hanging out here on a Monday morning. We got here around 1130 am and took advantage of the early prices for margaritas. The bartender Dave was really cool, super funny, and poured a great margarita. It's an outdoor bar with all the trappings of a Vegas pool bar. We ordered the chips and salsa to cushion the amount of alcohol we were consuming. We got a huge bag of chips and a vat of salsa for 8.99. For wandering around without an agenda or destination in a Monday morning, I'm glad we found this place. Highly recommend for strong drinks and good snacks. The atmosphere is pretty fun, to boot.

Hey!, honestly, this place is a no brainer for anyone visiting Las Vegas. They have a really fun staff. They do a lot of over the top presentations for some of the drinks and big parties and the two for one happy hour deal is unbeatable. You can get a yard for $24 and get two people decently drunk. I'm a fan of this place. We also ordered the ceviche and it was really good. This whole restaurant feels like you are in a beach in Mexico.

The best thing was the chips/queso sauce and the service!! The pork tacos needed a tad more moisture and flavor. The birria was just ok. The place was pretty nice to chill in but the customers made it a vibe. Please go and enjoy!!

Service/decor: not the cleanest or prettiest establishment. The service was also on the slower side and didn't seem to fully understand allergies despite having many gluten free options. Good place for people watching as we saw a lot of funny things and also things we didn't care to see in front of our table on the dance floor. Food: chips and salsa were standard and nothing special. Tacos were good enough but nothing special.

Our waiter Matt and server with the glasses was so sweet and kind i would definitely come again! 10/10 recommend!

The service was decent. The food not so much. The potatoes were well done,hard and cold. I would've sent them back but the girls were so busy. I couldn't flag one down, and wanted to eat my burrito before it got cold. Supposed to have Asada chicken and chorizo. Never did find the chorizo. I would never order it again or recommend it for breakfast. The bar was closed so you couldn't even order their specials- Bloody Mary or mimosa-

My family stopped at Carlos 'n Charlie's after the pool to grab some lunch. We had an amazing server who was SO nice and accommodated us very well. She ensured we had enough umbrellas to hide from the heat and took our orders very quickly. The food was good but I've had better. The restaurant itself is really cute with bright colors. You can't miss it if you walk by it outside. If you are staying at the Flamingo, then this is a really convenient location to have breakfast or lunch. Overall, good experience and I'm glad we tried it.

Great service. Carlos'nCharlie's at the Flamingo on the Las Vegas Strip is a high-energy Mexican‑American restaurant known for its fun, carefree atmosphere--think spontaneous dancing on chairs, comedians among diners, and bartenders showing off flair tricks. I have to rave about the staff's energy, big margaritas (leveraging 2‑for‑1 happy hours daily from 2-6pm), and solid menu enchiladas, fajitas, nachos, and giant burritos. It fits comfortably under $30, with casual dining fare and vegan/gluten‑free options

Nice service, overpriced food, ambience was nice. It was not too loud, but it's Vegas so it's expect to get a lot of time we took some pictures. They were $10 each without the frame. The girl was really nice. Our server too the Argentinian guy. He was very nice to us.

So happy we stumbled into Carlos 'n Charlie's while waiting to check into our room. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating to our large group. Definitely will be back for their awesome happy hour!

Great place to visit! We had a large group and they were super accommodating. Great ambiance, service and drinks. Will definitely be back!

great service! Happy hour is where it's at! drinks are amazing. Servers are super nice.

Great margaritas great service. Would come again forsure if I'm ever back out in Vegas

Amazing customer service food was excellent drinks amazing. I will definitely be coming back 10 out of 10 service.

Came for 21st Birthday Brunch! Amazing price, food and drinks! Got the chilaquiles was very good!

GETTING HERE: Located in the Flamingo Hotel Las Vegas. REVIEW: We had such high hopes for Carlos n' Charlie's! Overall, this wasn't a pleasant experience, sadly, but will round up to 3 stars as I am hoping our visit was a one-off and not the norm here. Plus, who can be bummed about anything in Vegas, right? :) We were greeted promptly by a very nice hostess. What struck me most about her was her question to us immediately, "Are you looking to sit outside on the patio?" I LOL'd. It was like 113 when we got there. Food: No table chips and salsa. Maybe that's a new thing? Or a Vegas thing? Not sure. We ordered the nachos and a coke to share. The nachos were OK and absolutely GIGANTIC, see my picture. And, they don't have lids - odd - if you want to take your drink to stay hydrated outside. Service: Not good, at all. We were seated off to the left, in front of the extra condiments, napkins, computer, etc. That wasn't a flag for me at first. What WAS the red flag is about 1/2 way into our meal, our server and his co-worker buddy were BS'ing (loudly) RIGHT BEHIND ME. I got up and moved to a different chair at our table, and they MOVED and started up again. For the 2nd time I moved back to my original chair to eat in peace, then they broke apart and went on their way. It wasn't cool. Not a fan. I had asked our server upon ordering if the pico had jalapenos in it. He swore up and down the flagpole that it didn't; that there were no jalapenos in the entire restaurant; and that the restaurant only had serrano peppers. He was quite argumentative with this whole line of questioning I had about jalapenos. Not cool. Also, not a fan. Besides the coke being tasty, it was cute to see the birds flying in and out of the restaurant. The Flamingo habitat is right next door and these birds were hungry and smart. In all honesty, I wouldn't recommend. Again, hoping for a one-off but I'll pass next time.

Belated review! We went back in August, but when we went the food was very good. We were all happy with our dishes, and even though it was a busy night it didn't really take a long time to get our order which was nice. The food did seem a little over priced to me, but it is a spot along the strip so it is in par with strip prices. The inside of the restaurant also has the tables a bit close to accommodate the amount of traffic they get, so I did feel a bit smooshed in our seating area but over all we had a nice dinner together here before moving on to explore the strip more.

This place was amazing. We sat out side at the bar, it had sun, it had shade and it had fun! The Bartender Brendan was the best server we have had in Vegas since arriving on Sunday!! We had the Mexican Omelet and Breakfast Burrito. They both were filled with flavor and we would for shlure go back and get it again!

I came here twice - once for dinner and once for breakfast - while I was staying at the Flamingo casino for an event. Dinner (Friday 06/07/2024): We had reservations for 7:30pm. We were seated promptly. The place was not packed. No free chips and salsa. I ordered the steak fajitas - steak was not that tender, portion is adequate. My boyfriend ordered the chorizo tacos and he said they were good. Breakfast (Sunday 06/11/2024) I ordered waffles - they were okay, nothing extraordinary. Place was not busy at 9am. Price is reasonable for a restaurant on the Strip. Ambiance is casual; could get loud if packed. Service was okay - no issue nor was it outstanding.

Walking the strip, a friend I met in Vegas said let's go in and see the Flamingos. We decided to have lunch here, since the outside patio was shaded and the TVs were on the MLB playoffs. The place was not crowded yet so we were sat right away. Since this bar focuses on drinking, I was surprised to see so many children in the bar area. The beer is cold and the food is quick Tex-Mex. We were entertained by a Balloon Hat Maker who took the time to create masterpieces for the 4 of us in the table. Good time.

Place is beautiful decorated. I do like the ambiance. Not happy with food and not happy with service. I don't care about buy one beer and get one free. I did like the taquitos but the ceviche was super dry and the after taste of the lemon was not good at all.

We stayed at The Flamingo and absolutely missed this place when we stayed last year. We went here almost daily during our 5 day stay. Loved the breakfast, to go drinks and the bar nightly with a DJ! By the second night the staff welcomed us back Delicious breakfast with no wait for two and our server was on top of all her tables, quick to order and refill your drinks. Stop in and give this a try.

The location is key. We had a relaxing breakfast outside on the patio looking at the Flamingo gardens. The food was just ok... it's what you would expect from a chain restaurant Mexican breakfast. Lots of red and green sauces, gloppy cheese and beans and an occasional tortilla thrown in. It's not life-changing. But it was quick, inexpensive and served it's purpose. The outside seating in the morning was really nice. I would imagine in the afternoon and evenings this can turn into a real scene, so plan accordingly.

We just had a great lunch with Max and David as our servers. We shared the cheese. Burger and ff and had great drinks! The portions are huge thank God we shared! We will definitely be back!

Excellent food and drink, however, the one time I decided to go, I paid cash and the bar tender cheated the till, tipping himself $10. This was not a good move. Had he been honest, he would have received $15 from me, instead, I didn't tip but l did let him keep his job. I owned a bar/restaurant for 10+ years and unfortunately had to fire people for the exact same cheat. I'm not saying "don't eat there," just don't pay cash. Good luck to that guy, I hope things turn around for him; he seemed nice.

Ran in for a quick breakfast as I knew we will have a long day today and was not sure if I would be able to eat lunch. Quality/Quantity - Waffle - Good, I would have preferred it more crispy. 1 side egg - Wanted some protein to start my day. Smaller than I would have preferred, but not an issue, as I normally just drink coffee for breakfast. Oatmeal - Good and healthy. And of course coffee - Small mugs, had to get a refill. Atmosphere - Club scene/atmosphere. Reminds me of my twenties parting in Mexico... Gave my buddy and I some refreshing reminiscing from our previous lives. Copy and pasted from their website: "It's always spring break at Carlos 'n Charlie's, the Mexican bar and restaurant that transforms from a family friendly dining spot to a crazy dance party at night." Yeah, like I said, brought back memories... Service - Denise was so professional and accommodating! Got us out of here within the 30 minutes I needed to attend my next event. Price - $34 + generous tip. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1962 and at this location since 2012. Congrats also with all your successes with your 16 brands.

I can't believe I have never written a review of this place. It is one of our go to stops for some frozen drinks, table side guacamole and great service. We have never had bad service no matter where we have sat. This time we sat on the patio and Danielle was our server. She was awesome! Great with suggestions and fun to chat with. She has a great personality. We order the table side guacamole which is always a fun experience. They roll out the cart with all the fixins and mix everything to your liking. So delicious. The drinks are always fun and this place has such a great vibe. We continue to come back time and time again and never disappointed.

My family and I came here during our weekend trip to Vegas, and overall, we were generally pleased with our experience. The service was quick, the staff was friendly, the atmosphere was fun, and the food, most importantly, was good. Everything was a bit pricey, but your in Vegas, so what else can you really expect. I would definitely come back if we had the chance!!

We ate a little later (9pm) but the food was pretty good. I think the taquitos are cheap frozen ones, but the carne asada tacos were tasty and the queso was yummy. The service was a bit slow, but overall not a bad meal!

I booked this spot pretty last minute for a volleyball gathering of over 25 people, and it turned out to be perfect. The staff was incredibly helpful, welcoming, and accommodating from start to finish. The atmosphere was lively, the vibes were great, and the food was delicious! Everyone had a blast--especially with the fun balloon hats they made for the group. Highly recommend this place, and a big thank you to the team for the amazing hospitality

Two top on a Sunday night in July. Previously made a res - hostess was warm, server Kelly was awesome, definitely recommend the chips and salsa (made fresh in house and AUTHENTIC) and the boyfriend loved the caddy margarita. Great prices for the Strip and love the kitschy decor! Outside seating had misters and overlooks the habitat - super nice oasis!

Came here tonight with some friends staying at the flamingo to eat. The carne asada tacos were really good, mojito wasnt very good and the service was really bad. Finished my mojito and water and didn't see the server to get a refill for at least 15 minutes

AMAZING MARGARITAS AND SERVICE Great vibes and views love the colors and everything else love the outside seating it's nice for beautiful weather Mango margarita is the go to, you have to have it

Absolutely terrible service! Everything came out either wrong or cold! I would not recommend coming to this place, but if you want to hurt your wallet for terrible service in the kitchen go for it I don't care just don't come to me complaining! Do better next time please.
