    Came here right after surfing at Santa Monica beach and loved the tropical, beachy ambiance of the restaurant. The chicken was cooked perfectly and was very tender and juicy. Order at the counter and then the food gets delivered to your table. Wide array of sides you can choose to come with the cha cha chicken platter, and they let me get fruit as one of the sides which was so refreshing.

    I went here before going to Santa Monica Beach and ordered the Mulato Cubano Sandwich. I liked it a lot but felt that the price was a bit high for how big the sandwich was. There was plenty of seating and we were served not long after ordering. Overall I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for some good quick food near Santa Monica.

    Cha Cha Chicken is a Caribbean culinary delight! The cha cha chicken was incredibly delicious and moist, falling off the bone with no pressure at all. The ropa vieja was a standout as well--finely shredded and melting in your mouth with every bite. Their agua frescas are a must-try, especially the pineapple coconut, which is refreshing and perfectly balanced. The vibrant atmosphere and friendly staff make the experience even better. If you're in the mood for authentic Caribbean flavors, Cha Cha Chicken is the place to be!
