Weekday mix and match is a great deal! Comes with rice and beans and your choice of items (you can double up if you'd like as well). I got the flautas which comes with a mango salsa and a chicken enchilada. Everything was super delicious and $14 before tax and tip. Our server was super kind We sat outside on the patio which had heaters and was perfect. The furniture was kind of hit or miss, my friend was on a bench that was super unstable but mine was fine read more

Services was terrible today. Waited to get salt and pepper, waited to get a box, waited and waited and waited for everything! Asked for items multiple times Finally had to get up and ask for stuff because they kept forgetting about what we asked for. And it's wasn't even busy. Terrible! You guys need to do better at these prices read more

Hadn't been to cha chas in a few years but decided for my birthday to check it out with my family. All the staff was warm and welcoming as we walked in. To my surprise today (Wed) is all enchiladas are half off, such a great deal . I had the trio all so good and the side of black beans were my favorite. I enjoyed a prickly pear margarita, very good frozen and not too sweet . Would also like to note that the restrooms are really ice and clean. Cant wait to go back read more

I actually really love this place! Although I'm not a super fan of the dessert. It does look beautiful, but in general did not have the right taste. Overall, everyone here is so friendly and typically they can get you in fairly quickly. I think they offer reservations as well. The restaurant is quite big, so there's plenty of different atmospheres to sit in. Overall would return! read more

I always look forward to cha-cha's because it's a fun place but not so much this time Friday evening 5:30 we were seated on the left side of the bar area. There was a party at the door and it was very loud. I had a dragon fruit margarita. The server forgot what I had ordered and came back for clarification-Not my favorite won't have that again very heavy tasting. The waitress asked if we wanted guacamole and I said yes, but we never got it and I never asked again. I got the Carnitas platter and I think it was made the day before and someone spilled the salt shaker into it. Requested flour tortillas and got corn. Disappointing. Server nice - I just think the noise made it difficult to hear. Not sure what can be done, I think next time I will request the right side of the restaurant. read more

Cha cha's is always a solid choice when our family gets together. They have great deals during the week. We came on a Saturday night to celebrate two birthdays. Food was good, service was great, our server Zoe was awesome & thoughtful when it came to the birthdays in our group. My only complaint with the ambiance is that it's so loud you have to yell to hear each other. Otherwise we had a great time & will definitely be back! PS. The Flan & Tres Leche's cake are mouth watering delicious! And I usually don't like flan but theirs is amazing. read more

Had large party of about 15 people for my birthday and the service was excellent. Our server Eryn took great care of my party and made sure we had everything we needed. This wasn't my first time going here and the food and drinks were delicious as usual. The restaurant itself is nice and clean and my party enjoyed the table we were seated at. Will definitely be coming back again soon. read more

Been here twice already and will definitely be back again and again. Really enjoyed dining here. Great food and great drinks. The service is pretty decent too even when it's busy. Their drinks are delish with just enough alcohol and their food is tasty! I've tried their enchiladas and ceviche, sooo bomb. Their chips and salsas are good as well, the chips are served warm! Highly recommend for a weekend (or weekday) treat! read more

This location has been here for a very long time. We had reservation for 3 people 7:45pm, We got seated 7:55. Drinks and chips and salsa is served. I always order their 3 taco plate, $18. Previous time I had the fish taco and had to send it back because the fish was too "fishy", wasn't fresh or cooked right. Tonight I stayed away from seafood and mixed-match had the carnitas, chicken and short rib taco. It was good. One thing I don't like about this place is it's too loud. The music is blaring causing people to talk loudly and difficult to have a calm conversation with people at the table. We requested to sit outside in patio tonight and the same thing, too loud. Suggestion to management, please turn down the volume a tad. read more

We celebrated December birthdays with a lovely treat from our friends, who took the birthday crew out for a special meal. We arrived right at 11:30 a.m. on a Saturday and were greeted with excellent service from our waitress. They started us off with freshly made chips served alongside a variety of salsas--mild, medium, hot, and habanero. I stuck to the mild salsa this time, but it was so flavorful! We ordered drinks and two appetizers: calamari and Nacho Cha Cha. The calamari was a delightful mix of octopus legs, rings, fried onions, and fried zucchini. The Nacho Cha Cha was loaded with cheese and chicken--absolutely delicious! For our main dish, my husband and I both ordered the three-combination enchiladas, which included crab and shrimp (my favorite!), chicken (a close second), and cheese. While you can choose just one flavor, I loved trying the variety. I didn't get a chance to taste the other dishes our friends ordered, but I thoroughly enjoyed my Mango Lemonade--it was so refreshing and delicious. The restaurant had a great ambiance, and to top it all off, Christmas carolers serenaded us during the meal. Such a memorable experience! read more

My husband and I had such a great experience at Cha Cha's Latin Kitchen restaurant in Brea! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, lively, and full of energy. The menu was creative, a perfect blend of traditional Latin flavors with a modern twist. Every dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. The appetizers we ordered were perfect. The queso fundido de chorizo was yummy, the manila clam with chorizo had the right balance of spice and freshness, and the cocktails were spot-on especially the margarita with a tropical flair! For our main course, my husband ordered the braised short ribs capas and I ordered the three enchiladas combo. Both were were delicious. We did like the shrimp and crab enchilada the best. The staff was friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. It was our first time trying this restaurant and the manager Cairo, our waitress Ashley and Maria were so friendly, attentive, and genuinely made the experience special. They checked in often without being overbearing, offered great menu suggestions, and made sure everything came out perfectly. It's rare to find such warm, professional service these days, they truly elevated the whole meal. It's the kind of place that makes you want to linger, try one more dish, and come back again soon. Highly recommend if you're looking for something flavorful, fun, and a little different. read more

After a day of painting and sipping, we were hungry and headed over next door for Mexican food! Overall, the unfortunate concensus on the guac was that it didn't taste as fresh as we hoped for. But we did like their regular salsas that came free for the table! I ordered the crab and shrimp enchiladas and personally really liked it with the rice and beans and was happy it came with green sauce. read more

Holy moly!! That Carne Asada plate with the roasted potatoes and chimichurri sauce is out of this world. Pricey but definitely worth it!!

OMG! I have just barely been able to write this. I went on Thursday for my birthday. And the gift I received was flan and a case of food poisoning. I had the carnita plate my family had tacos of various meats and they felt it in their stomachs but I had the worst of it. I fear that this place is aesthetically beautiful but what you consume could bring so much harm to people who already have chronic conditions like pain and then have to go through the illness from consuming foods that look good but the chefs should know what the meat has. It's his responsibility to serve customers good quality food that has been treated with the proper standards you would want at home. I would never recommend this restaurant. And now I got to cha cha into the toilet. read more

First, I'd like to compliment the impeccable, attentive, and friendly service provided by Desiree and one of the managers, Francisco! They were constantly checking in on us and making sure we were comfortable throughout our visit on a busy Saturday night. The food was amazing! I had an incredible swordfish with calabacitas. My girlfriend had chicken flats which she enjoyed. We both had great tequila cocktails that went well with our meals. Cha Cha's has date night vibes written all over! While it looks and sounds busy, its not enough to distract or interfere with your own conversations. My girlfriend and I enjoyed ourselves so much, we actually went back the next morning for the bottomless mimosa brunch! I'll save that for another review! read more

I just want to give a shout out to this restaurant!!! My company hosted two events here and the restaurant was extremely accommodating and helpful. Service was great!! I worked primarily with Jennifer and she was so easy going and smooth to work with. Food was 100% worth it. Servers Ale, David, Perla, and Nicole did an amazing job, thank you!! read more

Went here for my birthday dinner and our waitress, Blaire took wonderful care of us! Hubby loved the carne asada and my cheese enchiladas were delicious. I was very impressed with the black beans too--they added a lot to the dinner. Truly a good meal and we hope to come here again! read more

My girlfriend and I came here before a night at the Improv. We arrived around 4:30, which ended up being perfect as the place had yet began to fill up (by 5pm it was full). Loved the carafe of chilled water. We ordered some guacamole with the chips/salsa while we weighed our dinner options. I picked out three choices that I really thought I would like, then let me girlfriend make her choice. She selected my first choice (Fresh Seafood Caldo), so I opted for my second choice (Fresh Grilled Salmon). The Caldo was large enough to share and my girlfriend kindly asked for a separate bowl for me to share part of hers. It was everything I thought it would be, so I can see us ordering this again. As for my salmon, it was great as well. I loved the sweet chipotle-honey sauce with a finishing spicy kick. It complimented the salmon without overpowering it. I opted for vegetables instead of rice and that was the right choice for me. Since we were going to the Improv, we sort of rushed through our dinner, but look forward to coming back and enjoying the other items on the menu and perhaps dessert at a more relaxed pace. Our server was kind, helpful and made for a pleasant experience. read more

Great way to end my day! Cute vibes, delicious drinks and great service! After a long day at work, I just want to unwind with a margarita. "Sara B" knows her stuff. She pitched a few options and I explained what I was in the mood for! I absolutely love that freshness of the drinks. I went with the Cha cha's Margarita & paired it with a ceviche sampler and bam! Delicious! Thanks "Sara B for the suggestions. Definitely making this place a regular. read more

First time visiting and did not disappoint. Margaritas are made with fresh fruit and you can certainly taste the difference. Staff is very attentive, outgoing and kind. Bar area is nice and open and there is outside seating. Flautas were exceptional and tasted incredibly fresh. Steak was perfectly cooked in the steak taco, but just a tad too spicy for my personal preference. Variety of weekday specials and bottomless mimosa brunch on Sunday. Definitely worth trying if you're in the area read more

I needed a place to eat in Brea and my homie recommended me this place. Parking is really no issue, its located in downtown Brea, so park in the streets or in the structure. The ambiance is casual, great for hanging out but seems like they have private sections for parties. One of the best services we received at any type of restaurant. And thats just the restaurant, the food is actually really good! Wife and i had the manila clams, Shrimp and crab enchiladas and short rib capas. Topped it off with the flan cha cha for dessert. They get my thumbs up. The manager came over to ask how they did since it was our first time. Shay, our server, was attentive and took care of us. read more

I've been coming here for at least 12-13 years and never had such horrible service until today. The hostess ignored me and helped the people behind me after i had been standing there. I made a reservation and was sat behind the bar, which is fine, but then a large group took over the table next to us and took our chairs and basically sat on top of us and when I said something I was told "well it's happy hour." Okkaaayy, so why make a reservation if you can just grab an open table at happy hour... hmmm. Our server disappeared for so long that by the time he retuned we were done with our good with no water still and we wanted to order more drinks... oh well. I honestly have loved this place for years and have never had a bad experience but wow. read more

Cha Cha's Latin Kitchen - Love their Sunday brunch! - Bars Near Me - Brea, California

one of my family's go to spots, cha cha's has a fun, vibrant atmosphere with great food and great deals that are different everyday, same every week! they also have happy hour and parking is usually open in the plaza behind the restaurant. staff are always friendly and it's always a good time with great food! Taco Sets their taco options include shrimp, grilled fish, mushroom, chicken, steak, carnitas, and my personal favorite, short rib! each set includes beans and rice. Crispy Shrimp and Calamari ($14) this appetizer is one of my parents' favorites. with a mix of fried shrimp, calamari, and some spicy serrano chilis, this dish has more variety than regular calamari. the shrimp is juicy and the frying is crisp without being overdone or too bready. here they serve this dish with 2 kinds of salsas instead of marinara. Fresh Guacamole ($9) with endless free chips, this guacamole is smooth and fresh mixed with tomatoes and tomatillo salsa. i enjoy the chunks of avocado that haven't been all mushed, adding to the texture and forwardness of the avocado taste. Shrimp Ceviche ($14) the ceviche was quite sour in my opinion, but the avocado chunks in the dish balanced it nicely. however the avocado was limited so it was nice that we had the guacamole dip to pair with it as well as the chips. Caesar Salad ($9) tbh not the biggest salad girl but i do really enjoy this salad. the dressing adds nice flavor without being too heavy or overpowering, and the toppings make the salad fun and enjoyable to eat! read more

Here's the good. The food was good. For an appetizer, we got the chicken flautas which were delicious. For mains, we got the carne asada plate and salmon plate. The carne was tender and delicious. The glaze on the salmon was a bit too sweet. We also got drinks- cucumber marg and house marg which was very refreshing after having to send it back multiple times. Now the bad: Upon arrival, the host was super rude. She asked for our reservation but never made eye contact with us. She also told us it would be about 15 mins for us to be seated but the restaurant was nearly empty! Instead of waiting, we opted to just sit at the bar, which had plenty of open seating. At the bar, the interaction with the bartender also bad. We asked for no salt on the rim of our margs, which he ignored. When we asked that he remake the drinks, he simply poured the drinks with the salt on the rim into new glasses, but of course you could still taste plenty of salt in the drinks. When we again asked that he remake the drinks, he gave us the worst attitude, even the folks next to us at the bar noticed and made a comment. All in all, the food was good but service was absolutely terrible! I would only return for takeout. read more

Great date spot! Been coming here for a bit and it's always been good service. They've renovated over the years. First, their drinks are great! I especially like their mojitos and margaritas. I usually get their enchiladas and they hit the spot. I just tried their carne asada and their chipotle glazed salmon and both were delicious. It can get pretty packed here but I went on a Saturday night and was seated quickly. Christine G was our server and she gave us 10/10 customer service. This place can get pricey. Their weekly deals are prob better read more

Very disappointing experience. The bartender ignored us for an extended period of time and seemed uninterested in serving us. We felt unwelcome and overlooked the entire visit. Hoping management pays more attention to customer service. The only employee that acknowledged us was the bar back, which had to hunt down the bartender to get our order. read more

To start, Cha Cha's offers excellent service! The staff is very friendly and attentive. As for the food, I've been here about three times and each time has been a hit or a miss. Some of the highlights include the Tamarindo wings and the Cha Cha's fries. So far, I haven't had success with the main course, I've tried the enchiladas and the chicken plate. That said, their chips and salsa are a standout! I couldn't stop eating them the last time I was here. Truly delicious. I'd recommend stopping by if you're looking for a casual spot to connect with friends or family, but be prepared for just-okay food. read more

Beautiful restaurant and excellent location. Waitress was ok but they were pretty busy. Did not enjoy the food. We had the combination enchiladas and chicken enchiladas but did not care for the meal. Food was awful and went to waste. Heard lots of good things about the restaurant and was surprised by how poor the meal was. Will not return to give it a second chance and encourage others to go elsewhere. read more

Cha Cha's is always a good time! I went last night with a few friends and their margaritas really are as good as they say! The food is solid and the ambiance is lively. I sat in Obed's section and he definitely knew his stuff. I followed every recommendation and he didn't let me down. I really liked their flautas! I come here quite often and will continue to do so whenever I feel like having a drink, great food, and an even better experience. Thank you! read more
