    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!

    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.

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

    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.

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

    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.

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

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

    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!

    The chicken paillard and the platanos madernos are orgasmic, definitely must haves with a pitcher of sangria.
  • Anastasia C.
    The kitchen is closed from 4-5pm daily so plan accordingly. They'll let you grab a table and drink until the kitchen reopens.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!)
