A: I first went in last weekend and had the same experience again so here's the review. The store is a nice idea but for calling itself a world market it only seems to have European styled items (except food), there may be more but the store is so cramped that is hard to get around. The salespeople walking around are pretty pushy about trying to get you to sign up for things or buy more then you're looking to get. I had someone yesterday argue with me when I said I didn't need a basket. Checking out is just as pushy, it really kills any desire for me to back a third time. Prices also seem to be inflated since it's a trendy place. Most items I had a chance to look at before I had to get out of the way in the narrow aisles were cheaper elsewhere with a better shopping experience. Overall if you want to pay more for a worse experience this is your place, at least you'll be able to tell everyone you bought it at World Market.

A: As a Southern California Mexican, my expectations on Mexican fast food are through the roof. This place didn't just meet my expectations, it exceeded them. I'll start with the service. The man in charge, I wish I had his name, was so kind and showed a real passion for his business. He didn't just sit there annoyed at my European friends being unaware of what half the menu meant. He explained every choice enthusiastically, and offered up suggestions that they'd be sure to love. The food was top notch. I was shocked, really. The carne asada muleta exploded with flavor. The beef was incredibly juicy. The al pastor was nuts, slow roasting, and cut right off the bone similar to brazilian style birria. All this for very reasonable prices. I'd go back again anytime I find myself near the area. If you live nearby, GO!

Q: positive

A: I've been to Don and Charlies a number of times starting when I was very young up to a few days ago while in town visiting. Excellent Establishment, very consistent and the ribs are ALWAYS the best in town. The place is always packed and the memorabilia on the walls gets better each year! They are very generous and start you with some amazing warm rye bread with chopped liver. Every meal comes with soup, cole slaw then let you choose a potato to go along with your main course. The rib/chicken combo was out of this world and although a tad pricey is a home run! The place has a great vibe and was filled with sports goodies that anyone would love.

Q: negative

A:
There were a couple of non-food things that bothered me about this place. The first thing that bothered me was that it felt like the place was unfinished. It was halfway between a well put together chain restaurant and a hole in the wall. As a result you just felt like the owners didn't know what they were doing. The wait staff was ok, but they seemed really flustered like they didn't quite no what they were doing. We had to ask three times for the Texas toast that was supposed to come with our meal. And finally the presentation of the food was terrible. Now that's not something that would normally bother me, but everything was thrown on a plate in a way that wasn't very appetizing. None of the above would matter if the food had been outstanding. It wasn't...at all. About the only thing that was notable were the ribs. They had a really powerful smoky flavor that I enjoy. However, that being said it was almost too much because it left me with a bit of a smoky after taste. The Mac and cheese was rich, but not very flavorful. The beans were ok, but once again not much flavor. And the potato salad, as you might guess didn't have any flavor, it was potatoes, in mayo with some celery. I probably won't go back to this place, while the food wasn't terrible; it was far from good. They basically need to work on their recipes and hire an experienced restaurant manager.
