Last Thursday my husband and I went out for a much needed
date night! We wanted to go somewhere close to home because I was exhausted!
Being 18 weeks pregnant and needing to take care of all the kids and your
husband (he just had elbow surgery) is exhausting! I think if we would have
traveled more than 10 minutes I would have fallen asleep on the way!
We decided to try Charlie’s Burgers and Street
Tacos, which is certainly becoming a local Rockwall favorite! Located in
Downtown Rockwall it is a perfect location for Date Night. Charlie’s is closed
on Mondays, but open from 4pm-10pm Tuesday-Thursday and opens for lunch Friday
through Sunday (11:00am-10:00pm and closes at 9pm on Sundays).
As we arrived we were greeted by the friendly staff
welcoming us to Charlie’s! Instantly we felt at home. We were sat and our
waitress told us all about the specials of the day! We even got the opportunity
to meet one of the owners, Wayne!
After looking over the menu we didn’t know what to order
because everything sounded so good! So we decided to try a little of everything because that’s what you do when you are pregnant and can’t decide!

| Chorizo Stuffed Jalapeños |
We started off the night with Chorizo Stuffed Jalapeños.
These were so amazing! And by me saying that it does not give them enough
credit! We then moved on to a Charlie Burger, and a selection of tacos. We
tried the pulled pork tacos, the Adobe rubbed steak tacos, the smoked brisket taco, and the special of the day: the mahi-mahi fried tacos! (Rumor has it
these will soon be a staple on the menu) I sure hope so because I can’t wait to
go back and eat them! We also had the grilled Baby Wedge Salad as well as the
French Fries. All the food at Charlie’s is served a la carte, which is perfect
because it allows you to try a variety of different things!

| Mahi-Mahi Tacos |
My husband and I both agree that the tacos were some of the
best ones we have ever had! You can tell that they hand roll their tortillas daily! Favorites being: the mahi-mahi tacos, the pulled
pork as well as the brisket, but with that being said they all were great and
we would be super excited to go back and eat all of them again.

| Grilled Baby Wedge |
The burger was moist and delicious. They grind their meat daily in the restaurant for these burgers. I have never had a
burger quite like that one before. When I am craving a burger this will
definitely be where I go! Let’s pray it’s not a Monday when this happens!
If you are feeling like a salad, the grilled baby wedge is
very filling and equally delicious! If this is your first time at Charlie’s be
sure to try a taco with it as well because they are that good!
