After much prodding from friends, relatives and colleagues to check out Charlie’s, we finally decided to head out to Kapitolyo, Pasig to give the burger joint a try. And given the volume of recommendations we’ve received, expectations were set remarkably high.
Upon pulling up to Charlie’s, we notice the obvious disconnect between the establishment and its location. Imagine a gourmet burger joint serving Stella Artois nestled within a car wash place (we kid you not, inside!), inside an un-gated middle-crust residential community. We reckon that Charlie’s target audience is composed of either Kapitolyo-based pedestrians or chauffeur-driven diners; because parking here is not just a challenge, it’s a reason to grab a Quarter Pounder instead. Upping the risk factor is the fact that these parts are notorious for petty thieves who break into cars in search of laptops, cameras and other gadgets. So, unless your vehicle is one that thieves would not take an interest in, we suggest that you have your car washed instead of parking along the street.
