Tacos are delicious just wish the also came in flour not just corn. Taco night ( tuesdays ) is best night for tacos half price off and tacos come w rice and beans. 3 Tacos that's a lot. Service is always great here. Also Mondays in good Price 1 entrée get 2 entree 50% off that's when I get my Salmon dish . I actually like this place

Great dinner as always!! Service was just a tad slow, but it was prime time on a Saturday night!!! Loved that they had a 3-course meal special, but we didn't think the options were great.

Everyone was great and the food was delish! They gave our friend a free strawberry flan for her birthday. Very cute decor as well!

We were seated immediately with our reservation, (which often doesn't happen at popular restaurants on a Friday night)! Excellent cocktails, appetizers and the most flavorful carnitas anywhere. They are uniquely served in a mini cast iron skillet with sautéed onions and moist where often carnitas can be very dry. To top it off. My left over box of carnitas and guacamole fell ob the floor and immediately the manager said they would replace it! In fact, they replaced my keft over with an enture take out shopping bag full of carnitas, beans, rice, guacamole and a bag of tortilla chips. Far above and beyond and I never even asked for any of it. Amazing service and manager!'

We got our dinner BEFORE our drinks. When our server delivered our drinks he didn't even apologize or acknowledge how long we had to wait for our drinks. Then, after we were obviously finished with our dinner, he came by our table several times and asked how we were doing, but never offered to take our plates/bus the table. Lazy!

Love Cha Cha's every single time! The food is great, the service is always wonderful and the atmosphere is lively!

We have been to Chacha’s many times, our server was once again Carlos great service, so far we have enjoyed every time, only this time I ordered veg. Fajitas since they make it with Mushrooms, it was more onions and oily so it was bit disappointing. Overall great happening place!!

Swordfish was tasty but too dry. Needed to be cooked less or more sauce. Tacos were all delicious as usual.

Food was not good. I had the enchiladas trio. The beans were super hot as if over microwaved. The seafood enchiladas were rubbery and super fishy. Margaritas were overly sweet and sour defiantly not fresh squeezed more of a premade mix. We only saw the waiter once. The hostess was at the table more than he was. Very disappointed.

After a particularly rough day at work, I decided to treat myself to a nice dinner. Initially, I tried visiting Cha Cha's Latin Kitchen in Brea, but the lack of parking led me to their Irvine location instead. What a fortunate turn of events! The Irvine location offered ample parking, making my arrival stress-free.
From the moment I stepped inside, I was warmly greeted by the host, who seated me immediately. I was thrilled to learn about Chef Joe's Weekend Special—a three-course meal for an incredible $29, a steal in California! I opted for the seafood campechana cocktail, grilled steak enchilada, and arroz con leche, and added Manila clams as an extra dish.
The service was exceptional. My server, Carlos, was professional, patient, and incredibly attentive, elevating my solo dining experience. Manager Isabel also checked in, ensuring everything was to my satisfaction. Their genuine care stood out, especially compared to some Michelin-starred restaurants I’ve visited worldwide, where service often fell short.
As a self-proclaimed foodie, I was impressed by the generous portion sizes. The seafood campechana cocktail and grilled steak enchilada were highlights, bursting with flavor. The Manila clams, while slightly smaller than ideal, were still quite tasty. The arroz con leche was a perfect, comforting end to the meal.
Throughout the evening, Carlos remained attentive, checking in and clearing plates promptly. Even the general manager (whose name I didn’t catch) stopped by to ensure I was enjoying my meal. Their attentiveness was so remarkable that I jokingly asked if I seemed disgruntled, clarifying that their care had truly brightened my day.
Cha Cha's Latin Kitchen in Irvine exceeded my expectations with its warm hospitality, fantastic value, and delicious food. I wholeheartedly recommend this gem to anyone seeking a memorable dining experience. I’ll definitely be returning soon!
