    Grande Tamarindo Margarita
    Doug B.

    We dine at Cha Cha's Latin Kitchen in Brea frequently. We usually dine inside, but it was such a nice evening that we chose to dine on the open-air covered patio this time. We love their chips and salsa. The complementary chips were very fresh, and both the red and green salsas have a medium heat level. We also always enjoy their grade size margaritas. They are not boozy, but definitely pack a punch. I usually have the mango-habanero margarita ordered extra-spicy, but I felt like trying something new, so I tried the Tamarindo Margarita (El Jimador 100% Blue Agave, Ancho Reyes Chili Liqueur, Squirt, tamarindo, fresh lime, grande size $27). It was good, but was a little on the sweet side, and I barely got any heat. I'll go back to my mango-habanero next time. She had their limited time pineapple-poblano margarita (grande size $27). This was an off-menu special offering. It was excellent, with a great mix of fresh pineapple and a light heat and pepper flavor from the poblano. It was perfectly balanced and the sweetness was very light. I was jealous and wish I had ordered this also. We happened to visit on Thursday night which is fajita night. The deal starts at only $20 for veggie fajitas, with various proteins available for an additional cost. I had the steak fajitas ($27), and she had the achiote grilled chicken breast fajitas ($22). The meal starts with a big Mexican Caesar salad. It was very good, with the perfect amount of dressing, it was very filling. The picture doesn't do it justice, it is a large salad. The proteins arrive sizzling hot in a cast iron skillet. Our dishes had a generous amount of steak and chicken on top of a bed of peppers and onions. I got flour tortillas and she got corn. It's nice that they give you four warm tortillas wrapped in a cloth napkin. Most places usually only give you three. The standard meal comes with beans and rice but we both opted for all rice. The rice was barely warm, but we were already pretty stuffed so we barely touched it. Our server Nicole was great. She was very friendly and provided great service. My girlfriend only had a few bites of her salad and wanted to take the rest home. When they delivered our two fajita orders, spread across eight plates, they inadvertently took her salad away. Nicole made it right and brought her a full salad in a to-go box and bag. Excellent service! They often run a summer promotion where purchasing $100 in gift cards includes two additional $20 bonus gift cards. Hopefully this deal will come again soon. We will continue to dine at Cha Cha's frequently.

    Shrimp Ceviche
    Caes F.

    Cha Cha's Latin Kitchen serves up Hispanic Cuisine and the prices are not bad either! Thanks Breastie for the invite to Family Dinner Night. I opted for the Shrimp Ceviche after an entire day of eating. It was more on the Tomato Side and there was a kick from the black pepper. Not as good as Shrimp Ceviche from a Madre but not bad interpretation either. The chips that accompanied it were not bad as well. Solid place, great for Happy Hours!

    Updating my review since it's been a while. I love Cha Chas! They excel at everything, from food, to drinks to service, you name it and it's 5 stars. At our most recent visit, we tried the queso fundido appetizer and it was absolutely delicious. I also tried their limited time hibiscus margarita and it tasted so good. Our server was excellent and provided great service, and excellent recommendations, including the new margarita. Needless to say, we will be back here in the future.

    *Chicken Flautas Chicken Enchilada

    This is a great spot to enjoy Mexican fusion cuisine during lunch time. On weekdays, they offer an amazing lunch special for $14. You can select two dish from their lunch special menu: -1 chicken OR cheese enchilada -1 chicken flautas topped with mango salsa (very mild) -salad -1 taco (chicken, steak, carnita or wild mushroom) This will come with a side of beans and rice. I ordered their chicken flautas and chicken enchilada. I honestly couldn't finish it so I had to take it home to finish. The value is amazing, especially during these inflated times. The staff is very attentive and welcoming. We were taken care from the moment we walked in, to the moment we left the door. Lively decor and a beautiful bar right in the center. Great to start a lovely date night

    Happy hour chicken enchilada + chicken flauta
    Sophia Y.

    Came here for the first time on Wednesday and had their happy hour menu at the bar, it was good and they offer chips with 2 salsas! I'll be sure to stop by more to experience their dining/dinner service, as i loved the enchiladas. I will say, my flautas were not crispy so I didn't enjoy them as much, but still really excited to come here again! A lot of people were there, clean and tidy, kind staff.

    Carne Asada Chimichurri
    Kimberly S.

    We came here a second time. I got something different this time. It was the Capas which had goat cheese on it. It's very heavy on the sauce. I wish it was a little lighter but I still loved the flavor. The carne asada, amazing as always. The potatoes are just the perfect crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. We also were given the flan and churros for dessert. The flan was our favorite. I've never tried flan this good before. I really liked the texture of it. The churros were delicious. I didn't really like the raspberry sauce that came with it. It was more sour and tart. I also want to give Sara a shoutout for taking care of us this night.

    I enjoy Chachas they offer great food, drinks and a great happy hour! BUT the only thing that they continue lacking in is the service. Our server seemed to keep avoiding us and was always passing our table looking at us and would move on to another table. Other than that, our food and drinks were delicious.

    ERYN was great server. Attentive & knowledgeable of what to order. Thank you so much. The outside dining was refreshing & calm. Def recommend.

    Had such a great experience the last week, so we decided to go back again. We definitely were not disappointed as the both the service and food were great. Both our servers and even the managers were very attentive checking on us through out the night. Decided to try some other dishes like the chicken mole and seafood enchiladas that were great. We were able to try the other deserts but I still feel the tres leche cake is still the best. Hint: on the weekends the restaurants here get pretty busy so I highly recommend making reservations.

    Habanero margarita
    Tia K.

    Came here to try the OC Restaurant Week special and loved it! The vibe is upbeat, but not chaotic. The service was great from the time we walked in until we left. Everyone was very attentive and friendly. My friend and I tried the potato taquitos to start - they were perfectly crunchy and flavorful. For mains we had the carnitas which were good and not dry, as well as the crab and shrimp enchilas. Those were my favorite! Took the desserts to go, but I did enjoy the flan when I finally got around to it! Oh, we also ordered drinks from the regular menu and enjoyed those as well. I would definitely come back and recommend this place.

    Cha Cha's is a favorite when choosing a fancier restaurant for happy hour or dinner. The decor adds energy and was thoughtfully selected. The service is excellent and each person we encountered was friendly and welcoming. They truly care about the customer experience and welcome feedback. It feels like they have the right amount of menu options and everything we ordered was well made and delicious! I've been here a few times and each time has been a great time.

    Shrimp Ceviche!
    Franklin B.

    We went on a Monday evening, and it was fairly busy, still they said the wait wasn't long. The bar was wide open though so we opted just to sit there. The bartender acknowledged us right away and brought us menus. They had the hockey playoffs on the TV which was great cause we've been tuning in lately too! My fiancé decided on the house margarita and said it was delicious. Even though it was a "small" (they also come in "large") it was a very reasonably sized marg. She said it was pretty strong, so props for that haha. We stuck to the appetizer menu and went with a steak quesadilla and a shrimp ceviche. The Quesadilla was amazing: tons of queso, poblano chilis, and the steak was so juicy. You could really taste every ingredient in this thing. If we go back, I would definitely order it again. The ceviche was my fiancé's favorite, tasty shrimp, peppers, and avocado in a bomb orange/lime juice. I had to stop her from straight up slurping it up like a soup. She was a big fan, and she orders ceviche often. This was our first visit to Cha Cha's and we really enjoyed it. We've seen it a bunch of times while in downtown Brea, so we thought we'd give it a try, and I guess we've been missing out! The ambience was nice: not too loud, strong drinks, long menu, friendly staff, sports on the tv, and I was shocked when I saw the bill, very reasonably priced. We'll be back, for sure!

    Walking into the restaurant before 12:00 pm was smart we were kindly greeted by the hostess . Erin was are waitress and she really added to the whole experience. The restaurant is nicely decorated and it has a large outdoor patio area if you want to sit outside. We had the brunch we normally never get brunch, but I would definitely recommend that you try it out. It was a lot of food and super tasty!

The coleslaw tasted like the big buckets you can get at a grocery store. Such a shame, because I think a great coleslaw can make a meal. The bread was just also a grocery store dinner roll.
