Great customer service and probably the best chicken tacos I’ve ever had. The food is worth the price. My only regret is not getting more.

Y'all. They know what they're doing!!! My eyes bugged out of my skull when I first tasted it- I wish I was joking. They are super kind and have great business practice. The food is worth what you pay for sure- just make sure to not make any plans after eating because it's a heavy meal.

Quick and fast service. Was able to try their four OG chicken tacos, what a great flavor and combo. Affordable and awesome staff ! Can’t wait to try their oxtail tacos next.

Five star kitchen here! I told them I had been craving to try their food for years but never could because I'm vegetarian. Head chef made me a special order of birria tacos stuffed with carrot and cheese mash and topped with their exceptional pico de gallo and sauces. It was a 10/10 meal. Food & hospitality out of this world.

Birria Tacos were great! I think 18$ is a bit much for 4 small tacos but I would eat here again , great flavor ....

recently stumbled upon a hidden gem of a food truck that left my taste buds dancing – the Birria Brisket Tacos truck. The experience was nothing short of phenomenal, and I can confidently say that I'll be a repeat customer. The star of the show - the Birria Brisket Tacos. The flavorful and tender brisket, infused with rich birria spices, created a mouthwatering symphony of tastes. What sets this food truck apart is not just the exceptional food but also the friendly and passionate team behind it. The staff was welcoming, and their enthusiasm for their craft shone through in every interaction. It's not just a meal; it's an experience that leaves you wanting more. If you're a fan of Birria or simply crave a taco experience that transcends the ordinary, do yourself a favor and track down this food truck. I'm already planning my next visit, eager to indulge in another round of those phenomenal Birria Brisket Tacos.

Our food was so good, the fish was so fresh, crispy and hot, the Mexican pizza was great also and my son absolutely loved his shrimp tacos (forgot to take of pic of them and the lemon pepper wings) he wanted to go back for more and we loved the wings they were seasoned just right

The best brisket tacos I’ve ever tasted. The service was immaculate. Greeted with jokes around a great atmosphere. I highly recommend the entire menu.

The food and customer service was so superb! They deserve 10 stars literally. My lunch was over so Chris walk from his food truck to Kirklin clinic building to bring me my food! I was so appalled and appreciative of that! I pray the business keep striving for excellence! Thank you so much again!

I'm trying to get summer time fine but Fat Charles got me in a chokehold. The food is so good, and full of flavor. My new spot for sure. Their customer service is a 10/10 as well. Its never hard to get any one on the phone or to resolve a issue.

I visited the Food Truck today. I must say, the food was better than I had anticipated. I had something called the OG Tacos (I had beef and steak tacos, 2 each). They were really good and flavorful! They were topped with a homemade Pico and some kind of sauce that added a great touch. I also ordered a chicken quesadilla. Spent $15 on the tacos (4 in a serving, very filling) and $12 on the quesadilla. I'll definitely return to try additional items. 3/11/23 Yall... I went back for a second time and tried the Mexican Pizza!!! It was AMAZING!! This food truck never disappoints!

Fat Charles never disappoints. I’ve had everything on the menu ATLEAST twice now. Best food truck in the city. Dont wait because he does sell out.

Delicious brisket tacos. The tortilla they used didn't get soggy and fall apart while I carried it back to my office as well, so it still tasted very fresh. Will definitely come by again if I see them

Don't be deceived by the photos on DoorDash if you get this delivered. The portions are much smaller and still pricier than a lot of places with tastier tacos. They were just a greasy mess. Yes, I realize the place is literally called "Fat Charles," but when there's so much grease that any distinct flavors are nonexistent, that's just too much grease. Couldn't even grab a taco to consume because none would stay together. Had to use a fork which wasn't provided to the DoorDasher. Oddly, even though they were smothered in grease, the brisket was still, ironically, dry as a bone.

Went here for the first time today just to be disappointed I literally spent $20 for four small tacos that the meat look like it was literally like pulled chicken out of a can had no flavor to it absolutely at all and just let me just say this the presentation on their pictures look amazing but this is one of those what look good ain't always good the food itself was terrible that there was no flavor the services was pretty good overall me personally I will not be buying food from this truck ever again because I was so disappointed and they are so overpriced only thing I can say for anyone that reads my review is please try at your own risk

I called in to attempt to place an to-go/takeout order, and was rudely hung up on less than 15 seconds into the call. I was attempting to support a black-owned business and have my family and I try their food for the first time, however we were disgusted with the customer service.

Don’t believe the pics. This is the pic the company uses of the quesadilla that made me drive very far to try this truck. The other pic is the limp, flat, non crispy, half effort quesadilla they ACTUALLY give you. Disappointed is an understatement for $21. Also i have a feeling this is can chicken. Can chicken has this weird taste no matter how much you try to drown it in salt or sauces it does not go away. They are misrepresenting themselves online AND overcharging.
