Description:
Cha Cha Cha serves the West Coast's best Caribbean food in a fun and funky space on the seedy fringe of Downtown. The restaurant is a festival of flavors and colors. It's impossible to feel down when you're part of this eclectic hodgepodge of pulsating Caribbean music, wild decor, and kaleidoscopic clutter; still, the intimate dining rooms cater to lively romantics, not the obnoxious types. Claustrophobes should choose seats in the airy covered courtyard. The very spicy black-pepper jumbo shrimp gets top marks, as does the paella, a generous mixture of chicken, sausage, and seafood blended with saffron rice. Other Jamaican-, Haitian-, Cuban-, and Puerto Rican-inspired recommendations include jerk pork and mambo gumbo, a zesty soup of okra, shredded chicken, and spices. Hard-core fans of Caribbean cuisine might visit for breakfast, when the fare ranges from plantain, yucca, onion, and herb omelets to scrambled eggs with fresh tomatillos served on hot grilled tortillas.

Mediocre.

It had been years since I'd eaten at Cha Cha Cha. The place is still cute. However, the food was mediocre at best. We thought this would be the perfect place to order mojitos....

solid tapas place

This was a solid place. Not sure if I would go back, but would not say no if friends wanted to go. There was nothing bad about it, it just didn't wow me.

The food is ok and overpriced. Move on to another option and don't bother to eat here, not worth it.

No idea why this place is still in business. The food is ok at best, the location is lousy and the prices are expensive for what you get.
