I came here with a party of 5 on Fourth of July for a late lunch session. It was lively but we luckily got a seat pretty quickly. I think the food was solid - I shared with someone the shredded jerk chicken chilaquiles and crispy beef vaca frita potato hash & eggs, whereas the entire table shared the guava crème brûlée French toast. The potato hash & eggs was good, no complaints. The chilaquiles were okay, my friend really loved them, but I personally thought they were okay. Seems like they're prepared different (with mole rather than salsa), and I think I prefer with salsa. Not to say they were a bad dish - my friend really loved them. The guava French toast was probably the best, it wasn't overwhelmingly sweet and had great flavor. I'm giving this place a 5 not because the food was exceptional or standout, it was solid overall, but taking into consideration the good experience, service, and ambience too. We also had bottomless mimosas, and staff were very friendly and attentive. My group had a great time overall. I would come back for bottomless mimosas & grub if I came with a group. read more

came on a Wed night. Area is a bit sketch but the place is tucked away and has plenty of bar and indoor seating. Very comfortable and nice! The food was so good holy cowwwweee.... I usually don't like bbq chicken but this one was actually awesome. It's definitely sweet but has a good fruity (?) sweet to it. Chicken was so juicy and I liked the crispy skin. And the potatoes?? Again not usually a mashed potatoes person but this one tasted SO good and I liked how it wasn't 100% mashed lol, and it was seasoned too. Of course the red cabbage went so well with the chicken and was a refreshing bite. The staff and waiter were so friendly and checked up on us every now and then to make sure everything was ok. Awesome find for a place to catch up with friends or starting a night out! read more

The missus and I stopped by yesterday for a quick bite + drink before our dinner... and man... S&S is definitely one of our go-to's in the city now. We already loved it the first time and its clearly noticable that the quality is improving in all areas! read more

The food was great ! We all got cocktails and food, and my party of 4 had no complaints. It's a warm atmosphere and not too loud in the place. I would come here again. Parking can be a little challenging in this area. Not five stars because the bathroom needed some attending to and one of the stalls in the women's restroom was completely dark read more

Stopped by here while waiting for our reservations at another restaurant and ended up really enjoying the vibe. The people here were very welcoming from the moment we walked in. We grabbed seats at the bar and browsed the menu, which honestly looked pretty good with very reasonable prices, but we were just there for drinks this time. I ordered the MEZ-CALI MARGARITA with verde amaras mezcal, agave, lime, orange, pineapple, smoke bubble, chilled with a tajin rim and served on the rocks. Not bad at all, the tajin rim really made the drink and tied everything together nicely. Definitely a spot I'd come back to so we can actually try the food next time because everything coming out looked really good. read more

Really love how beautiful this spot is from the tables to the bar. The staff were so kind and friendly. We came for happy hour, unfortunately it is only at the bar, so we weren't able to talk to each other easily as a large group. Drinks were food though. We ended up at a table once we decided on some food. We got chips and guac, onion rings, and ceviche. The food was good, but nothing particularly memorable. I would be interested in coming back for dinner though! read more

Nice dinner! Reservations made a few weeks in advance, but they were pretty empty for dinner on a Wed night at 6:30pm. $56.31 per person total. COCKTAILS * Cha cha cha ($17) - 4 stars. Super fun with the smoke bubble that they make right in front of you. The bright blue is a little offputting but actually quite tasty. * Gin Fatuation ($16) - 4 stars. Really nice refreshing drink, a tad on the sweet side. STARTERS * Garlic Herb Yuca Frita ($12) - 4.5 stars. Great thick crisp to yuca fries. * Guacamole ($12) - 3.5 stars. Not super interesting, good chunky texture. GREENS * Shishito Peppers ($12.50) - 3 stars. Fine, and some peppers were bland, some super spicy. ENTREES * Creole Paella ($33) - 4 stars, a tad on the soggy side. * Ropa Vieja ($26) - 4.5 stars, really nice! read more

We went for my friends' bridal luncheon, the place is a real upgrade since it was Cha Cha Chas.. so nice inside! The food was delicious! We shared a bit of a lot! our waiter was nice but not too efficient, we had to ask for more water & for the table yo clear out dirty dish entrees.. he was a bit slow & we even had to ask for the bill; he also said we couldn't sit on the top floor because there wasn't enough help read more

Came for dinner, left full and satisfied! We can to Sangria and Salt with a big party, so first off, very happy we were able to accomodate everyone! The space itself is big and event-friendly, so if you are looking to find a spot, this might be it. We ordered a ton of dishes, but the ones that stood out the most to me was the Guava BBQ chicken and mushroom pasta. The chicken was tender and tasted sweet but savory, giving a nice balance. The pasta was a hit with everyone at the table and was a fan favorite. Small shoutout to the yucca frites too, I could not stop snacking on them the whole night, they were great as an appetizer for the table. Overall, I do think this restaurant has a great selection of food to choose from, and there is something for everyone. read more

Im a little short for the table we sat at so I was a bit of a wiggler. The place is aesthetically pleasing and the food matches the vibe. The drinks were good, we were here for brunch/lunch. The food was out quickly. The staff were attentive and regularly asked if we were good. My amiga lives in the area so this was a nice walk from her place. If you drive plan to park some blocks over. Definitely satisfied my brunch craving. read more

Had dinner here last night and it's even better than its cha cha cha days. Which seems impossible. The ceviche was so fresh and citrusy. The Cajun shrimp were so creamy and spicy, you can't go wrong getting these. The mussels and warm spinach salad were also delicious. The waiter told us we ordered the best things and we certainly did. Oh the sangria is also a must. Ambiance is fun as well! The renovation updated the place in ways it needed. read more

Great vibes for weekend brunch! Super chill experience and never felt rushed. Usually brunch is too overstimulating for me with how packed and busy some places get. Favorite dish was the Cajun Shrimp Eggs Benedict. I loved the cajun sauce on this and everything was cooked to perfection and paired well with each other. Everything else I tried was ok. I wasn't a big fan of the sauce and rice in the Jamaican Jerk Sauce Beef Steak Loco Moco. But I enjoyed the beef steak part of it. Guava Creme Brûlée French Toast tasted like a french toast to me. I'm not a big french toast person to begin with though and I'm not sure what was supposed to be guava about the dish. Did the bottomless mimosa and sangria. 90 minute limit for this. I liked the guava mimosa the most. Don't get the sangrias, I didn't enjoy the red or the white sangrias. read more

I found out about this place by walking through the neighborhood and found the name to be kinda cute so decided to check it out. Didn't have too high of expectations as I've not heard too much about it. When we first entered either the manager or owner whoever was super friendly and the vibes are really cute inside. We came to share some tapas, we got the shishito peppers, calamari, mussels and ceviche. We also ordered the creole paella. Tapas plates were actually bigger than I expected! The seafood was very fresh, my personal favorite was the ceviche but the mussels were a close second with the wine garlic sauce. The bread that dips with it is perfectly toasted but still soft. However one dish that was just okay were the shishito peppers, they were SUPER salty, maybe just a heavy handed day but the flavor was good. When the paella came I totally forgot it was creole paella so I was like ohh didn't seem that authentic, it was very buttery and great flavors, but then my friend was like yeah it's creole remember? And honestly it really changed my mindset it's definitely a highlight! Will say though the butter did make it a bit toooo greasy for my taste. Overall I'll definitely be back! read more

Sangria & Salt is to die for! We came to celebrate a late birthday and everything we got was a hit. We got the following items: Guava Creme Brulee French toast, Cajun Shrimp Eggs Benedict, and the Shredded Jerk Chicken Chilaquiles. My mouth is watering just remembering everything I ate. The Cajun Shrimp Eggs benedict was a great twist on the class eggs benedict, especially if you're a seafood fan - perfect, jammy egg and beautifully cooked shrimp. The chilaquiles were a mix of perfect flavors in my mouth, saucy but crispy at the same time, and the chicken was a hit. If you have a sweet tooth, you cannot go wrong with the Guava Creme French toast! It was the refreshing ending we needed for our meal. Service was amazing, and we received some great recommendations from our waitress. The interior is gorgeous and SO spacious. I enjoyed coming here for brunch, but dinner here would be an amazing vibe. Grabbing a drink at the bar with a friend here would be fantastic. Can't recommend Sangria & Salt enough! I'm excited to come back and try more of their menu. read more

We really wanted to like this place. The fact that they offered jerk chicken chilaquiles did us in. Everything was great in the beginning, we were seated promptly, given menus, and orders taken within minutes of walking in. Our food even came promptly! At least two of the dishes we ordered. Said chilaquiles and the cajun shrimp egg Benedict arrived promptly. But the other entrée didn't get there until about 10 minutes after we got ours. We ordered the guava crème brûlée French toast to share and we started eating that before our entrées because we didn't want to eat before the rest of our party had their food. By the time that last entrée arrived, we were pretty full. And, unfortunately, the crispy beef vaca grits entrée was very disappointing. It was supposed to come with two poached eggs that were very well done. Our waitress acknowledged it as soon as she put the plate down, and told us that the chef will be sending an order of poached eggs because the ones on the plate weren't good. (I don't know why they put it on the plate if they didn't feel it was good enough, but whatever.) Well, those eggs never appeared. They went missing just like a waitress lol Anyway, I think I liked the chilaquiles, but was un impressed with the French toast. The menu stated that it was "guava" but I didn't taste any guava whatsoever. It might have been the sauce that they drizzle over it, but it didn't taste like guava to me at all. Maybe their dinner options and service is a lot better, but I would definitely not return here for brunch. read more

Food is good and drinks are solid. Gorgeous interior, a level up from Cha Cha Cha's casual ambiance. It was a quiet evening during the holidays and the staff was fairly attentive, always checking on us to ask if we were okay. We were each impressed with our drinks, Cha Cha Cha, Sangria, and 'Ol Smokey. For apps we ordered the classic cajun shrimp, so glad they kept this on the menu, it was literally the best thing we had. While I won't say the food is not good, it's just not anything I've never had before. I probably won't run back to this place unless it's for drinks and apps before a night out.

I LOVE this place. My friends from elementary and middle school and I came here on a Saturday night in early November. Sangria & Salt occupies the space that cha-cha-cha used to be in. Wanna know one of the most amazing things about this new restaurant? They carried over a few of the old cha-cha-cha menu items and made it even better. The ambience is amazing. I love the way it's decorated and how they make the bar the main focus of the room. The artwork on the walls are beautiful. The music is amazing. Everything is such a vibe. We had the most wonderful time here. The drinks, food and everything was on point. The only thing I really think they need to work on, is their dessert menu. The desserts were good, but I think it could definitely be better. We will definitely be back! Highly recommend and the owner is incredibly friendly and the service was top notch. read more

We wanted late night eats spontaneously on a Friday night, and found that this place was open until midnight! It has a trendy, party vibe with really nice staff. The owner greeted us when we arrived and was super welcoming (and hooked us up with complimentary flan at the end! Thanks!) The creole paella was filled with seafood which was super tasty. And the Cajun shrimp appetizer hit the spot. My limonada drop cocktail was quite tasty as well. It's worth noting that the cocktails are on the sweeter side. The calamari and the lamb were okay. Could use a bit more flavor. I think, perhaps, the menu is trying to do too many things--to many types of cuisine--right now BUT they are new and I'm sure they'll figure that piece out with time based on what folks like. A fun spot with a lot of potential and great service! read more

Amazing spot with speedy service! We went as a group of 5 so got to try a ton of dishes. Favorite was the Jerk Chicken and the Lechon Asado.

Cha Cha Cha 2.0 An SF institution, Cha Cha Cha has been around since I was running around in pampers, to my first drink of alkie, to break ups, and more. Speaking from experience, it's so lively and people are sangria happy that no one notices you ugly crying. Just sayin'. While the original location in The Haight is pretty much always poppin', The Mission location not so much, having closed and reopened several times since the pandemic. But, now there's a new owner who's changed things up, giving it a new name, updated menu, and facelift so I'm hopeful it will return to its pre-pandemic times. Soft opening in early September, Sangria & Salt is the owner of Hot Johnnie's Smokehouse (Castro). Open for takeout and indoor dining. Rezzies accepted on their website. M E N U Cuban-Puerto Rican. Classic Cha Cha Cha dishes like the ropa vieja, lechon asada, jerk chicken, chicken paillard, cajun shrimp, patatas bravas, etc. are still on the menu. The owner added some new menu items including twists to Cha Cha Cha classics like cajun shrimp pappardelle and items from his smokehouse resto like ribs. Full bar. - Happy Hour: Everyday from 3 pm - 6 pm and 9 pm - midnight. Discounted apps and drinks ($3-$12) - Weekend Brunch, 10 am - 3 pm...bottomless mimosas and sangra for $25 pp (90 minute limit). 4% SF mandate. F O O D We visited during the soft opening and took advantage of 33% off our food bill while the staff were training (ended 9/18/25). Regular prices noted below. * Mussels Sauté w/ white wine, garlic, butter, fish fumet, herb, tomato, chili flake, crostini ($19): https://tinyurl.com/y68rreut Soulful broth with tender mussels and grilled bread for sopping. * Hot Johnnie's Smokehouse Spare Ribs w/ sweet & spicy chili glaze ($18): https://tinyurl.com/2xmsk3kp Crispy bark and tender meat that easily pulled off the bone. Nice smoky flavor balanced by the sweet and spicy glaze. Served with arugula and slaw. * Yuca Frita w/ cajun spice blend, lemon garlic aioli ($9) Generous portion of hot and crunchy hand-cut yuca fries with a soft interior. Served with a creamy and zesty aioli. * Jerk Chicken & Rice w/ habanero spiced raisin garlic soy sauce, spicy cabbage salad ($19): https://tinyurl.com/32sfedm5 My go-to Cha Cha Cha dish, the bone-in marinated chicken thighs were flavorful and tender but could have been more fork tender. Served with a side of rice and refreshing slaw. * Cajun Shrimp Pappardelle w/ bacon, onion, mushroom, habanero cajun sauce ($26): https://tinyurl.com/3ew85zvk Those who know, know that Cha Cha Cha's cajun shrimp sauce is like crack. I've used an entire basket of sourdough to sop up that rich deliciousness so it makes sense that they turned this classic into a pasta dish. The wide, al dente pappardelle noodles nicely soaked up the rich, creamy sauce. Generous portion of tender shrimp and button mushrooms for a savory umami. If you like it hot, ask for a side of their house habanero sauce. S E R V I C E Friendly and attentive staff. After we were finished, I appreciated the owner sitting down with us and asking for feedback on all the dishes. A M B I A N C E Trendy updates to the old Cha Cha Cha space with new banquette, swivel bar stools, furnishings, and eye catching murals from a local artist. The horseshoe shaped bar is the heart of this resto and I'm glad they kept it. There's TVs for watching the game. Large dining area with a private room in the back. Ideal for large group gatherings. P A R K I N G Parking lot several doors down (look for the El Capitan Hotel sign) and Mission-Bartlett Garage is 3 blocks way. Overall, we enjoyed our meal at Cha Cha Cha 2.0....Sangria & Salt. Will def be back to take advantage of those HH deals! read more

Our group of 14 had a great brunch here on a Saturday afternoon! The food was tasty, the service was attentive and prompt (impressive, given the size of our group), and the space was pleasant. My husband and I shared an order of the chilaquiles and an order of the chicken and waffles - both dishes were delicious. While they didn't have a kids menu, they had sides at a reasonable price that worked out well for the kiddos (my 7 year old got a $6 waffle and a $5 side of bacon strips). Our group also ordered two pitchers of sangria - they were decent, but not amazing - we abandoned the 2nd pitcher. The staff was very friendly, organized, and attentive - they did a great job handling our large group and getting food and drinks out promptly. The staff was also welcoming of the 6 kids in our party, which we appreciated. The space - the old Cha Cha Cha space - was pleasant, and not very busy on a Saturday afternoon. I was very glad to be able to make a reservation for 12 people on OpenTable just 2 hours in advance. We had a lovely brunch here and look forward to returning! read more

I went to this place on Saturday night without a reservation for a party of 8. Surprisingly, they seated us quickly and didn't make us feel bad about not having a reservation. They were very attentive right from the moment we arrived. We were all pleased with the service; both the hostess and our waitress were attentive to every detail, and they were also incredibly quick and efficient. What surprised us all the most was the food; every dish was perfect--the flavor, the seasoning, the portions. We were fascinated! We ordered everything to share. - Ceviche - Patatas Bravas - Sweet Plantains - Guacamole - Burrata - Quesadilla - Shishito Peppers - Ropa Vieja Pappardelle - Creole Paella The drinks were tasty, not extraordinary but quite enjoyable. We ordered: - CHA CHA CHA (Illegal Mezcal, coconut, blue curaçao, lime, pineapple, smoke bubble, chilled, served up) - LIMONATA DROP (Ciroc Limonata vodka, lemon, apricot liqueur, disco sugar rim, chilled, served up) - COCOMO-JITO (Flor de Caña rum, coconut, lime, mint, toasted coconut, served on the rocks). From the outside, the place appears smaller than it actually is. It's well-lit, tidy, and clean (including the restrooms). We had such a great time that we didn't take any pictures to document the visit, but we'll definitely be coming back! read more

Sangria & Salt is located in the happening Mission District. Granted you get a little of the scummy SF but also the nice vibey cool SF as well. Parking in the Mission is not easy so plan accordingly. We happened to come on an evening where the entire restaurant was booked for a private event. Bartender was gracious and helpful in letting us know and that we had to finish and leave by 7:00. That gave us about 1-1/2 hours which was fine. We came for Happy hour 4-7pm served only at the bar. Perfect! Their bar is centrally located and very big so plenty of seating. Started with their classic Sangria and fried Calamari Fritti both from their happy hour menu. Sangria was nice and tasty (bigger pour would be nice :) Calamari hot and crispy. They served us fast so we had time to eat and a comfortable pace. Cajun Shrimp Pappardelle, Creamy, cheesy and rich in a good way. Perfect pasta and good portion of large shrimp. Seafood Fettuccine, Nice combination of Shrimp, Bay Scallops, Calamari and Mussels. Seafood and pasta cooked to perfection. Both pasta dishes also came out quickly again to allow us plenty of time to eat without rushing. Thanks to the Kitchen and wait staff!! Definitely will be coming back to try some other dishes read more

Beautiful decorations, light and airy... nice upgrade. Pleasant waitress, but slightly difficult getting her attention. We came on a Monday night, but they were probably 65% full. Between the bar and tables on both sides... just hard to get her attention. Really pleasant evening until the food. The food was just painful experience. Everything took way too long.... -Yucca fries were good, - crab cakes smelled fishy (future pass) - pork dish was nice. -cioppino was good, when finally got the right dish. Was served a seafood pasta in error first. Had to question both wait staff before they agreed that what I was served was not Cioppino. Future pass ‍ read more

Checked this out during their soft opening. It's still getting its fina touches to the interior and someone was painting while we ate. It was beautiful to see the art and decor come together. It wasn't too busy when we arrived and it was still happy hour. Happy hour is only at the bar seating. We tried the ceviche, salsa, yuca frita, guacamole, shrimp, tacos, crab cake, ribs, and glass of sangria. Service was friendly and pretty good. The restaurant was pretty full but the time we left and nice to see it busy. Happy hour definitely felt like a good deal. The salsa, guacamole, and ceviche came with loads of chips and were great. Portion of the ceviche was good as well. Tacos were flavorful and loved the yuca frites and the texture. The shrimp and sauce was delicious and loved dipping the bread and even the chips in the sauce. Crab cake was ok but nothing special. The ribs were so tasty, tender and juicy, loved the sauce and pomegranates but felt like it was just a bit too much sauce. I'd definitely come back and try some other dishes and recommend happy hour. read more

I really like this spot. First off when you walk in the restaurant is really pretty and has such a good vibe inside. So much seating and a large bar in the middle with seating all around. I wish I remembered the girl that was helping us out with drinks and food. She was so cool! They have a lot of great looking option on their menu. So I'll need to go back to try these out.

Came to Sangria & Salt for brunch this past Saturday and really enjoyed it! We had a party of 6 people and sat in the front where we had a god view of the bar and indoor decor. The restaurant is beautiful and bright with flowers spread all throughout the space! I had been here in the past when it was Cha Cha Chas and while the vibe was always cool, it always seemed so dark and gloomy inside. Now, it's bright and colorful and just makes you want to be in a space like that - like it makes you feel good and happy. It was not a lot of people while we were there so it felt like we had the place all to ourselves for the most part. Our server, Sam, was awesome. She was super personable and kept checking in to make sure we were good. We also stayed awhile after we closed out the bill and didn't feel rushed like we had to get up and leave. The owner, Johnny, also stopped by and chatted with us for a while (he's also an SF native). He was super cool and we really appreciated him coming over to introduce himself. Everyone got a different item and everyone had no complaints on their food and drinks. I got the crispy beef hash and it was amazing. Very flavorful and the beef was cooked just right. Unfortunately, I didn't get any photos because I was enjoying just being with friends. I'll definitely be back and also want to check it out for dinner, too! read more

This was the old Cha Cha Cha's and this place is even better than from what I remembered. The moody Florals are just my vibe. It was so beautiful stepping inside, I was so excited about just being in this space. It was a Friday night and I was having dinner with my cousins and we were excited to try the food here. We ordered four shareable plates, two pasta plates and a dessert. There was a half pitcher of red sangria and I had a strawberry vodka. Everything that was served to us was flavorful and delicious. If I'm going to start from my top favorite, I would say that the warm spinach salad was just yummy. I couldn't get enough of that sauce, which was what we were told by our excellent server, Fernando, paillard. So good, I googled it so I can try to replicate it at home. The calamari was calamari, and it was perfectly crispy and yummy. We ordered these smoked spareribs and it was enough to share between the four of us and that was delicious with the pickled vegetables, but it wasn't my favorite. Everyone liked it. The flavor was good, but my portion was the tough and dry part of it, so as much as I enjoyed the flavor, I did not enjoy the texture. We also had grilled asparagus, which was good because we need the veggies. I would have to say that the papperelle noodles were my favorite because the creamy sauce was just to die for. It reminded me of that shrimp dish that Cha Cha Cha's had that you would dip with toasted buttery bread. The night was fun and the food was delicious and the vibe was awesome. Definitely one of my best dining experiences in a very long time. read more

In town for a wedding and had a friend suggest we stop at her friend Johnnys restaurant. He met us at the door with champagne and was beyond welcoming. Sangria & Salt absolutely delivered. We started with the calamari, burrata, and ribs, and every appetizer was excellent. The ribs were incredibly tender and packed with flavor--easily one of the highlights of the meal. For my entrée, I ordered the beef stroganoff, and the beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender. I also had the chance to sample several of the pasta dishes my friends ordered, and every one of them was outstanding. It's clear that a lot of care goes into both the preparation and quality of the ingredients. The food was consistently delicious from start to finish, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the overall experience made for a fantastic night out. I'll definitely be back and would highly recommend Sangria & Salt to anyone looking for great food and a memorable dining experience. Johnny is amazing! read more

I made no photos of the food. Quite possibly because I was so busy stuffing it in my face. From the starters (Yuca Frita fries and guacamole/chips) through the mains - Ropa Vieja (the rice dish, not the pasta), Cajun Shrimp Pappardelle, and the paella, it was all so very delicious. Seriously. Now I'm starving just thinking about it. In the heart of the legit Mission, two months old, young proprietor with his first restaurant (Hot Johnnies) in the Castro (and we will go, there is no doubt about that), wait staff and support all so friendly, prompt and attentive this has to be on your list of places to try soon. And after it will migrate off that list onto your list of places to return to again and again. Date night, casual gathering with friends after a circus, maybe even fine for solo dining with a book and your own bad self - Sangria and Salt gets it done. Go. read more

We stopped by Sangria & Salt while at SF Carnaval and we loved it. A true local gem. The decor is extremely vibey, making it a great place to go with friends or by yourself.

We ordered the French Toast & Baby Arugula Quinoa Salad which were both flavorful and fresh Joey made a stop by our table - we enjoyed learning about his inspiration for the place - definitely will be back soon. read more
