Cha Cha's Latin Kitchen

We came here for a work meeting and had a great experience with wonderful salsa and chips followed by some incredible fajitas that were not on the menu. We also tried a couple of the drinks included mezcal sour and a house Margarita that was nice and refreshing using grapefruit juice.

Nice vibe, wonderful service (Miguel specifically), and great food. Pretty reasonably priced too!

Love this place! Meet my boyfriends daughter there for dinner & was a lot of fun. It was Taco Tuesday 1/2 off Tacos & premium Tequila 💯% great food. Try the cheese dip fondue as well!
Cheers! Elise Macaulay, Realtor, that works for you!

So impressed with the service & food😋 even though it was Father’s Day and it was very busy, me and my friend had a great time and were able to find a bar stool table and enjoy their happy hour menu. Our waitress was super helpful and kind. Can’t wait to come back!

If you’re in the mood for some Latin flavor, head out to this fun restaurant in The Market Place of Tustin/Irvine. Loved the ambiance and the food was so flavorful! The flan dessert was delicious. They also have weekly specials, like 50% off tacos & tequila on Tuesdays, which is a great deal. The tacos were not my favorite, but giving 5 stars for the top notch service. Thank you!

One of the best Mexican restaurants in Irvine. Had a watermelon Margarita and the Carnitas plate with rice and beans and sat out on the patio. The warm house made tortillas are fantastic and the carnitas smothered in onions were amazing. Good pricing for the experience and they always have good music for the mood. I’ve been there on a night with live music but not sure the night. The bartenders are great and good seating outdoor or indoor at the trendy bar. Love this place and if you are in Orange County, definitely a good Mexican lunch, Happy Hour or dinner spot to check out!

Went to this place for our Christmas gathering. Since we're in a big group, we had a set menu. I had crab and shrimp enchilada with rice and beans. It was really good. Flavor was just right. Highly recommended. Our server Paul was great. He was very attentive and took good care of our table.

Tacos were good and had variety in them. They weren't greasy and had amazing taste. Definitely recommend going on Tuesdays for Taco Tuesdays when they're half off (original price was 3 tacos for $17 when I went).

First time trying this place even though it's been open for a few years now. All I have to say is wow! The food here was surprisingly good! I rarely go to any fancy Mexican restaurants so I don't have a lot of experiences from other restaurants to compare to, but this place was unassumingly impressive! We came here on a late Friday night, trying to find a place that's still open in Irvine after 9pm. This was one of the few places close by that was still opened. The staff were all nice and we didn't have to wait more than 5mins (BJs had 30min wait). I ordered the guajillo short ribs, and my wife ordered the seafood caldo. We also ordered the churros for dessert. All of them were tasty, savory, and full of flavors, yet not overly greasy or heavy to my surprise. I will definitely come back again to try other dishes! The only thing I might not recommend are the clams appetizer and maybe the flan (unless you like the thick creamy consistency and texture rather than the softer type of flan that's more like pudding)

Incredible dining experience! From the moment we stepped in, the welcoming ambiance set the tone for an unforgettable evening. The attentive staff provided impeccable service, ensuring our every need was met. A must-visit for anyone seeking a perfect blend of exceptional cuisine, top-notch service, and a charming atmosphere. A true culinary gem that exceeded all expectations. Taco Tuesday at Cha Cha is an absolute highlight for us.

I try not to grade primarily by atmosphere or service so will give this place 5 stars. Was a last minute Valentine's Day dinner choice and was pleasantly surprised. Got the short rib enchiladas which were solid but not spectacular. But my fiancée got the salmon and it was AMAZING. Truly blown away by it. The potatoes with the salmon were surprisingly pretty spicy though if you don't like spicy. Ambience was alright, pretty loud including music which is somewhat understandable given the club/bar vibes, but that made it hard to hear one another from discouraged conversation. Overall, would come back for the salmon. It was a V day menu so hopefully it's the usual salmon on the menu.

Good food. They have live music. The atmosphere is festive and casual. They have a nice modern interior. They do have a happy hour. The clams are amazing as is the molten cheese especially with mushrooms. The carne asada is flavorful yet tender. I would recommend.

The place to be for Taco Tuesday! The ambiance was on point with the live band last night I wanted to jump up from my seat and dance 💃🏻 the taco Tuesday deal was great too and the tacos tasted amazing! Drinks were just as good and the service was great! Great time over all for a Tuesday. I see why it was so full!

My husband and I was our first time here and I absolutely would highly recommend this place. We definitely will come to eat here again. I ordered the trio tacos, wild mushroom, steak MOJO, short rib tacos. For appetizer we ordered shrimp ceviche. The flan dessert was absolutely delicious!!! And of course our waitress KIMBERLY was awesome! Very friendly and took care of us. Next time we come, we'll definitely ask for her!

Great food with great flavor and good service. The place is also very nice and clean. You can't beat the lunch special that is by far the best deal around anywhere. I can't believe the portion sizes for the lunch special. The complimentary chips and salsa are good and freshly made.

First time to Cha Cha’s in Irvine. Our server was super sweet and gave some excellent recommendations. Food was really good - my husband had the carne asada and I had the 3 tacos. Our server told the manager it was our first time to the restaurant and they gave us a complimentary flan which was amazing (the gesture and the dessert). Definitely coming back to Cha Cha’s!

This place is incredible! The service was the best ive experienced in quite some time. Not to mention the atmosphere being so fun, vibrant and welcoming. Our server Carlos was an absolute gem. So friendly, knowledgable and attentive. If you find yourself in the area and craving Mexican/Latin food absolutely pay this place a visit.

Note: Their margarita will change your life .. for the better ◡̈

The food lacked flavor - could have had more zest, maybe a little spice. The margaritas were great. The menu said ‘20% gratuity will be added to tables of 6 or more’.
We were 5, and were still subjected to this gratuity when the bill came in. That was a bit disappointing.

Great atmosphere and background music for this chick Latin Restaurant. We tried the clams and the Ahi Aguachile and they were both yummy.

We had a great time here, food and drinks are very tasty, fast and professional service. Excited to book table on patio next time…
