Charlie's Place — Restaurant in San Luis Obispo

There was no way I was going to test that point. We got mimosas with our breakfast. While I was enjoying my mimosa, I saw a sign that said, "No alcohol beyond this point".

Once I got my meal it was worth the wait. The bed was melted shredded Jack cheese. They piled the fries on the covered them with nacho sauce. There was a generous helping of meat covering the cheese. Cilantro, white onions, a large amount of sour cream and guacamole finished it off. I added jalapenos on it and that was a great choice. They were fresh cut and grilled with a flavorful smokey taste. They offer a full size and a half of this meal. So if you're not really hungry go with the half because I only ate just about half of...
