    It was my first time at Cha Cha's Latin Kitchen to celebrate my colleagues' birthday, and the service was impeccable. Literally very attentive... even though it was during the lunch time rush hour! For example, my colleague dropped a knife, and immediate it was picked up and replaced... the staff stealthily showed up out of nowhere! They checked in with us throughout the meal to ensure that all was well, then, as we were finishing up, they arrived with exactly the right # of take-out boxes and bags in hand to offer, without being asked, and seemed to read our every move. They were furthermore sensitive to our 1 hour business lunch time constraint but managed to help us fit in appetizers, entrees, and even a birthday dessert without feeling rushed because they shouldered the rush upon themselves. Amazing. I've dined at Michelin-starred restaurants and those on the "World's Best List," but this team could rival any of them on service and astuteness!

    Most people who go out to eat with friends want to be able to talk. When the music is too loud, it makes that more difficult

    Taco Tuesday night was enjoyed by my son and best friend! I happen to love the large Caesar salad with added chicken breast. Megan’s service was outstanding, and it was great to say “Hello” to managers Omar & Michael again. The ambience was definitely full vitality with lots of people around us celebrating! We highly recommend Cha Cha’s Latin Kitchen!

    Always good food and service. We enjoy the complementary chips and salsa with our alcoholic beverages. One of the managers usually stops by our table to check on us.
