I dined there with my family for dinner. The restaurant was so cool and has an excellent vibe. The setting was so good and wonderful. They have huge options of menu. I had the Chicken Wings and Jerk Chicken were really good and very delicious. The food was really appetizing. Great quality food. Lots of delicious salad. The meat was so tender and well-cooked. The bar area was so cool too. Great cocktails! It was a great service and great food!

The first things that caught my attention was the colorful and cultural decor. I loved it. My first time here and I took the recommendation of my server and tried the Ropa Vieja and it was delicious. I thought about getting the chicken wings too but the server said my first choice was a lot of food because it came with bread. I'm sure glad I took his advice. I look forward to returning:)

If you love tapas, this spot is the one! I came with 3 of my family members, and the tapas were enough to fill us all up. My favorite of the day would definitely have to be the plantains with black beans and sour cream, as well as the ropa Vieja (I recommend eating the beef with the bread)! Sangria was decent, not the best my family and I have had but still good. Lastly, my family and I wanted to try their Cubana sandwich but keep in mind 4 pm they stop serving any of their sandwiches and strictly only their tapas. Despite missing out on the Sammies the staff were kind as, and I loved the atmosphere of the spot!

A MUST when you're looking for a fun place for drinks with the girls or a cute dinner. Sit in a moody environment or chose the sangria patio have features community tables under colorful umbrellas. Of course our party of three got the pitcher of sangria and it was so delicious l. Packed full of fruits we all were able to have 2 cups each. Not to mention the food pairs perfectly. We may have gone over board but we enjoyed all the dishes. The standouts being the warm spinach salad, jerk chicken and the canjun shrimp. That Cajun shrimp sauce is to die for, it's creamy and rich while being seasoned to perfection so of course we wilder dipping our bread into it. Although the dish doesn't come with too many shrimps the sauce makes up for it. The jerk chicken is a pretty big portion with a chicken thigh and side of rice. Again cha cha cha really knows how to make a sauce because it was delicious! Would highly recommend for a lively atmosphere to chat and catch up with your friends.

It's been a while since I've been to Cha cha cha's. I want to say like, I dunno, 19 odd years. Anyhow, saw this diamond in the rough! Sangria garden on the side of cha cha cha's. Slightly gloomy day, but I can only imagine how great this side patio would be on a sunny day. Service is always great. The servers were delightful and attentive. Came here for a pitcher of sangria, chips and guac and some yucca fries. Nom nom nom! Off to amoeba to get some records!

Fun spot. We were super hungry so ordered a bunch of things: potatoes, plantain chips, mushroom, arroz con pollo, shrimp, bread and salad. The sauce with the shrimp was sooo very good and went well dipping bread or the plantains in it. Service was friendly, quick and attentive. We enjoyed our lunch with a half pitcher of sangria which was tasty. I'll be back!

Bread $0 - decent, fresh, nothing special. Good for dipping in the saucy dishes Cha3 Jerk Chicken $14 - good. Perfectly cooked chicken and white rice went well with the tasty sauce. Good portion Cajun Shrimp $14 - good/decent. 6 pieces of normal medium sized shrimp. Sauce was very good and flavorful Chicken Paillard $14 - decent. Good portion of normal chicken breast. Sauce was creamy and tasty, but salty Paella Mixta $24 - very good. Our favorite dish. No soccarat (not cooked on a pan until crispy), but still good. Generous portion of rice and variety of seafood and meat Glass of Sangria $9 - good, can't say I tasted anything special about it, but almost every table had a pitcher of it Surprisingly not packed on a Sunday at noon. Walked in with a party of 4 and was seated right away. They don't take reservations (other location in the Mission does). They were consistently busy with people going in and out, but never a full house. Decent size restaurant. They have several small tables outside as well. Full bar. Service was good. Parking was free and plentiful along the Panhandle Park 2 blocks away. No issues at all. Overall, great food and service, very reasonable prices and portions. 5 stars

Located in the Haight/Ashbury district, this eatery is a great stop! We ordered a Cuban and the Ropa Vieja for our meals and we could not have been happier. The food is so fresh and flavourful! If you're looking for a great spot to have Lunch, stop in. Oh! Their Bar is amazing!
