Description

Lively, informal neighborhood spot, sunny during the day, grungy at night, serving inexpensive tapas inspired by Caribbean (jerk chicken), Cuban (sautéed plantains), and Cajun-Creole (Cajun shrimp) cooking. Wash down the hearty, flavorful food with a pitcher of the popular sangria. No reservations, but turnover is brisk.

    I thought I detected a hint of panic in our waitress' eye. And no wonder. From my own less-than-illustrious career waiting tables, I knew we were every waitperson's worst nightmare: two women, a teenager and a two-year-old. I wasn't sure this... More »

    Although it gets crowded, I love this restaurant... I always order the chicken quesadilla and fried banana's and of course, Sangria!

    We love Cha Cha Cha, but not for the reasons you'd expect. The food at this location is better than what's served at the restaurant's Mission District outpost, but the service is similarly spotty, the din is equally deafening, and the Afro-Cuban décor is even louder. No matter; once you dig into your tasty tapas and start on a pitcher of perfect sangria, all you'll notice is the delightfully obscure reggae on the stereo and the festive, youthful crowd. The sangria comes in both date-... More »
