Editorial Review for Cha! Cha! Cha! – by Otis Rubottom
In Short
Deep-burgundy walls accent plain tables and chairs, while Mexican disco and salsa music make this restaurant feel vibrant, despite its small size. With such a large menu--11 taco choices alone--there's ample room for experimentation, from burritos to tortas to salads. Vegetarians have few options, but a chili relleno is among them. Pastor and carnitas offer pork lovers a Mexican version of naughty or nice, one simple and tender, the other spicy and robust.

Insider Tips
What to DrinkTry a variety of Mexican beer or a Jarritos, a super-sweet Mexican soda, bound to cut the hottest of salsas.

I go here a couple of times a month, it's close to my office, and I always get the Relleno Burrito. I find it super tasty and full of flavor, I add some of the red sauce to the inside. Sometimes I want to try something else but I love the Relleno Burrito too much. I love the quick service and the cheapness of the food. The quality isn't A+ but it is very good. The thing I don't like is that I often have to call and call and call because they ignore their phone and I don't like standing around waiting for my burrito. Also I always eat the whole thing and always want to take a nap by about 2:00 because I'm so full of deliciousness. Some of my coworkers just eat half of one but I lack their willpower.
Pros: Cheap, Fast
Cons: Parking, Service, Ambiance

Mexican food? I think not! This was some of the worst food I've had, dry meats that manage to be tasteless and salty. Little to no flavor in the beans and rice. It may be cheap,but who cares. I think they are doing exactly what another reviewer said and pumping up their reviews becasue I can't believe that this is a winner anyones eyes. The service just added insult to injury. I'll never go back and oh ya I've had good Mexican food from my wonderful Grandmother who would roll over in her grave if she tasted this food and knew it was called Mexican.
Pros: Cheap
Cons: Everything else, service, food, ambience
