Comments on: Charlie’s Tacos Okinawa, Japan http://JasonKimball.org/charlies-tacos/ Mon, 06 Feb 2012 04:28:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Gary http://JasonKimball.org/charlies-tacos/comment-page-1/#comment-853 Gary Fri, 30 Dec 2011 18:04:06 +0000 http://JasonKimball.org/?p=1162#comment-853 My first multiple visits to Charlie's Taco were back during the Vietnam War while stationed on Okinawa, or simply passing through. This place has always been on BC Street (Now called Park Avenue). Originally it was nothing more that a hole in the wall joint with dirt concrete floors that catered to drunk service members out on liberty. Some of those old pictures and testimonials remain on the walls of the new establishment, although the Taco's taste the same as always.

I was great duty, Marine on an Air Force Base and working in an Army Field Grade housing area, Rycom Plaza. My "Clock Watcher" program ran Monday-Friday 6 to 8 am, getting everyone off to work or school. Ate at Charlie's many times when it was literally a hole in the wall. It was great, considering the fact I was in the East China Sea. That is saying something from a "Beaner" from deep south Texas. Good luck Charlie's from you muncher admirer "Gunny" Jose Miguel Rodriguez Garcia de Hinojosa y Vela.

My wife and I ate there many times in the early to mid-70s. I can't believe it is still open. No one I tell about it can believe a hole-in-the-wall in Okinawa has the best tacos in the world.

I ate at Charlie's Tacos about a million times. It was always awesome. I think my personal record was 22 tacos at one sitting. I would love to go back just for the chance to try and eat another 22. :-) I was stationed at Kadena from 1979 – 1981. I ate at Charlie’s Tacos about a million times. It was always awesome.
