Amazing. The food was outstanding; I've eaten there three times this week alone. The owner is passionate and deservedly vocal about his food. Great vibe, delicious eats. The empanadas and homemade lemonade along are worth the trip.

I had no clue that Cha Cha Cha even existed until YESTERDAY! I walked in and felt like family. Placed our order and not one bite disappointed. The cafe con leche was perfect delicious. Will most certainly come again!

We absolutely loved this place and will definitely become regulars now. The staff was super sweet and welcoming ! We have been looking for a good authentic cuban place and we finally found it! We had Empanadas , Croqueta , Vaca Frita and the Chuelta . Everything was delicious , you also can't forget the cuban coffee 😋
