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.

I hadn’t been to Cha Chas in brea since they remodeled. It was a pleasant surprise. Food and drinks were tasty and delicious, per usual. Noise level was a little high, however, there was a concert in downtown brea that most likely player a role. Overall, a great experience.

We have been here many times, even before the remodel and always have enjoyed it. The noise level when we we were seated was really loud. We thought maybe we should request to sit out on the patio instead. We decided to stay inside as it was rather chilly outside when we walked in. They do have heaters but we stayed in anyways. Our server was very busy but he managed to give us good service. We like to relax and not be rushed so it was perfect. We both had fish. I had the fish of the day which was mahi mahi, and my date had the salmon. Both tasted good. We both had margaritas and they guacamole with our chips. We plan on going back for Father’s Day brunch. Overall our experience was good

This was a once a month ladies night and at first the venues was very impressive. But after we received our drinks and water it took a while to get our app order in. Once we received our drinks and apps the wait staff disappeared and did not come back for another half hour. But I have to say the drinks were fabulous. I recommend the pepino martini!!!! Their guacamole was the best!!! We had that round twice. But it was so late we decided to go home.

My friends and I had a fun lunch this past Saturday at Cha Cha's Latin Kitchen in Brea, CA. When we had a problem with an entree having too spicy a sauce, the manager, Jairo, resolved the situation with professionalism and kindness. Wow! We were very impressed and plan to have more lunches there. Thanks Jairo.

Didn’t like how there was a $10 upcharge to have half chicken/half steak fajitas. My friend wanted a combo plate of an enchilada and a taco and had to buy two separate meals to do so and the overall quality of the food just wasn’t that great. We had been to cha Chas once before and enjoyed the Sunday brunch. The quality and tastiness was not the same on a Saturday?! One of us hoped for the egg breakfast and we’re told you only have eggs on Sunday.
