Fantastic Sangria , good selection of draft beers , and delicious eats. The atmosphere, decor, service, and music are fantastic; very clean restrooms . Great place in the heart of Haight St!

Josh Whelchel

You'll come for the sangria . Don't miss the Chile glazed wings , smoky rich flavor fitting for a Spanish king. Cha cha cha also has the best guacamole you can get. Great balance of flavors.

Pooja

Good portions, great to share. Jerk chicken over rice was well-spiced and tasty! Super crowded on weekends, long waits .

Jerk Chicken , Spanish rice w black beans , seafood paella , Cajun shrimp , ceviche . Great portions. Service could be a little more attentive.

I totally love this place. There is one located in the Mission but energy is totally different. This is the place to be. It's still get crowded but we'll worth the wait.

Leah Bellerjeau

the sauce on the Cajun shrimp is so so good. be sure to ask for extra bread . and the warm spinach salad with bacon is another favorite. wash them down with sangria .

Mike Ottavi-Brannon

Cajun shrimp is exceptional. Skip the chips and guac and save some room for the Ropa Vieja or the Vaca Frita

Anna Hargreaves

I love the crazy wall decorations. The Sangria was a bit like mulled wine . We had main meals instead of tapas . The pork with beans is good and hearty.

Nana

What others said >> Cajun shrimp is deeeelicious, arroz con pollo is really good and the portions are huge. And the sangria ???? ???? ???? ????

Alex Silarajs

Always get the sangria , and then cancel your plans for the next day. Staff is great.

Nice tapas ; jerk chicken was tasty as a main course. Long wait times on the weekend, which is not surprising.

Elizabeth Barelli

mushrooms , plantain cakes and cajun shrimp were delicious. A bit loud , so you have to be in the mood for some exotic music !

Matthew Wheatcroft

Excellent fare; had the cajub shrimp , pork quesadilla , chicken pailliard, and a mini pitcher of sangria . Perfect combo! As you can; TASTY!

David Mark

If you live here then this is a "duh" statement. Hit Amoeba Records before or after your meal. While here at Cha Cha Cha, try the Cuban. Perfect!

Wolfgang Gründinger

great place for dinner & drinks. Usually very busy.

Yezel R

The Cajun shrimp sauce is so amazing, along with the rice & black beans & you can't forget the plantains . So delish!

Everything I ate was good...down to the sauce. Try it all. This is a rare recommendation from me.

Sangria is good, many options to choose for tapas

Cristina G

Kitchen is closed from 4pm to 5pm. However, you can enjoy a delicious glass of Sangria while you wait for kitchen to open.

Sarah Silva

Has a very Cuban feel! Food came out very quickly and piping hot. Try the plantains , they were a group favorite!!

Sherilynn Macale

The warm spinach salad is one of the best things on the menu. Seriously. I know it sounds crazy, but you have to try it!

Eric Wuebben

Stick to the Cajun shrimp , ceviche and mushrooms . Plus a pitcher of sangria . Decently priced and tasty. Good atmosphere.

Bill Kennedy

The paella and warm spinach salad are must-haves.

M Aldoss ♏

I Loved the Atmosphere of the restaurant , but I wasn't Really Happy with the food. The Cha Chicken was not bad.

kelly fig

cajun shrimp is spicy ! too hot for me to really enjoy. sangria helps cool your mouth off. the warm spinach salad is good.

Chelsaur

Fantastic food. Mussels were delicious, and the sauce they were in went well on some plain rice . Great little place.

Sarah

The chicken paillard and the platanos madernos are orgasmic, definitely must haves with a pitcher of sangria .

Ali Anderson

Fried plantains , shrimp , and the deadliest sangria in town . One of my favorite spots.

Anastasia Coussoulis

The kitchen is closed from 4-5pm daily so plan accordingly. They'll let you grab a table and drink until the kitchen reopens.

Esther Ng

Grab a couple friends and head to Cha Cha Cha in the Haight for pitchers of sangria . Order a variety from the tapas menu and share. Cajun shrimp and calamari are must haves.

Jillian Smith

Platanos and paella are must haves. Paired with a pitcher of Sangria , of course.

Stacey~Marie

Tapas are amazing! Such a fun atmosphere in here too!!! Good times. Great eats.

Mark Kozlowski

The salsa and guacamole are so fresh!! We ordered an extra helping.

Najeed Khan

Two bronze colored cupids hanging from the ceiling above the marble bar ! Other interesting decor as well !

Rose Vasta

Yes! Listen to everyone and get the sangria ! !its actually made right. Strong but tasty!

Mary Austin

Don't bother ordering the entrees, get a variety of tapas plates and share. Don't forget to get extra bread for the broth with the mussels !

Eulalia Stephenson

It was delicious! Food is so tasty and the staff is very friendly .

Elena V.

Like the fun, kitschy space but let's be honest- food is very average. Sangria is subpar-think people rave about it as its only $5... Guess it's ok for price but nothing special, cheap ingredients.

Aaron Shaw

The warm spinach salad , the Cajun shrimp , the wings , and the sangria are musts.

Jessica Taylor

Good sangria , fun place to share tapas with friends.

Tye Chait

Get a pitcher of sangria and split some small plates for a good time

Peggy Li

The sangria is great. Half pitcher is about 4-5 servings.

Donal Carroll

If you like steak , get the excellent steak + black beans and chimichurri (It may be a special, but it always seems to be on the menu -- very tasty!)

Hayley

Funky place for a meal. Sangria and small plates were great.

Janelle

Caking shrimp & wings are a must; also dip your bread in the cabin shrimp sauce
