Very good posts about Carlos & Charlies! Steph - I'm sorry you weren't aware of the nature of this place before you went, and glad you did find a place to eat with your family. I've been there with our adult crowd, and had a great time, but definitely wouldn't recommend it for families with kids! I actually have seen families in there with kids...parents drinking, and kids being "tempted" with booze, and I don't like to be judgemental, but I couldn't help wondering why they thought that was OK. No prude am I, but it did bother me to see young kids in there for several hours.
