Using only quality seasonal and organic ingredients, our Latin-inspired menu features spectacular Latin food prepared in a wood-fired oven, and a variety of fresh house-made fire-roasted salsas, which hint at the natural and abundant flavor profiles found in every dish.

The same attention to detail carries on to our hand-crafted cocktails; using only fresh-squeezed juices, house-made sour mixes, 100% Blue Agave Tequilas and fresh fruit garnishes for all of our Margaritas. Cha Cha’s House Margarita was named Critics' Choice for the Best Margarita by the Orange County Register.

House margaritas, sangria and blackberry Serrano daiquiris are always on point and delicious! 50% off on their enchiladas every Wednesday is a great deal! I recommend going on their website for daily meal deals and making a reservation as this place gets packed every day.

Amazing food and service! My husband and I stopped in on a busy Saturday afternoon and had great service from Marina. She was one of the most attentive servers we have ever had! Don’t miss the watermelon margarita - so yummy! I had the ceviche sampler – shrimp and ahi - both were fresh and super spicy. Delish! See you soon Marina!

I really enjoy ChaChas. It’s a lot of fun and great energy. The band is loud but on point. My only reason for not rating a five has to do with the bar. The new look is great and inviting, but the service from the bartenders is a bit slow. It takes awhile to get a drink order even just a beer. Also the margaritas are only ok to me. They are $20 for the larger size and the flavor is a strong bitter taste and a lot of added sweetness. I would have preferred a peach margarita but they don’t have anything peach! So as long as you go in with the right expectations, you will love it here. Just go in with the mindset to enjoy the food and the flair of a Mexican restaurant.

My first time here and the food was great. The only thing keeping me from a 5 star rating was the noise level. It was absurd like a club in Tiajuana. The music is so loud, the patrons have to yell. That alone will likely keep me from returning because it was that excessive. But the food was good. Beef fajitas were great.
