Quality, flavorful Mexican fare made with some locally sourced ingredients. Great happy hour menu, yummy salsas, and friendly staff.

Muy Sabrosa!. I love Mexican cuisine and am pretty happy with a simple burrito, but I was shocked at how uniquely flavored the dishes were. For a vegetarian, my options are usually pretty limited but it was not the case at this place. My husband had pork something and said that was fantastic as well. We were very impressed and will be back.

It does get very busy around lunch time, being a popular food destination for obvious reasons, so there can be a wait, but it isn't fast food and doesn't taste like it either.

Fantastic, real mexican food. I had to write this just to say that this is an excellent mexican restaurant. I have been happy with almost everything i've ever ordered here. I think the problem with the two people below is that they are Taco Bell people. People who go to Cha Cha Cha do not enjoy Taco Bell, and I suppose vice versa. But Cha Cha Cha uses real food. Real meat, real beans, real cheese, and real flavors. Taco Belll..well...not so much.

Disappointed! Worst Mexican food ever!. First time my coworkers and I tried this restaurant and it was the most disappointing Mexican food experience ever. I think that Taco Bell is better (and cheaper). There was no spice to the food and the restaurant had no spicy salsa or hot sauce. Found a black hair in my food, took it up and they tried to tell me there was no hair! They did still give me a refund on the meal though. The atmosphere is cute; however, black and white photos of babies and children don't really go w/ a Mexican food atmosphere. The food was bland. There were vegetables in the rice (celery and peas), who does that? Don't get the beef enchiladas if you don't like raisins, peas, carrots, and potatoes. Disgusting! Who puts that in their Mexican food?

It's a Mexican restaurant and they make you pay extra for chips and they don?t have salsa. They did have pico de gallo, but that is not the same as salsa. What's up with that? That was one thing I was looking forward to going out to Mexican food! Also, the sour cream was very thin and watery, kind of weird.

They want a tip and they don't come take your order or bus your table, what's up with that?

The tables were also not very clean...

and if you HATE parallel parking, this isnt the place for you! they need a parking lot!

I don't recommend wasting your time or money on this restaurant.

Same Bland Taste as Taco Bell. I have "American" tastes so I stick with simple items like burritos. I've had ONE in five visits where the order was correct. This is especially frustrating because I get my order to go and don't find out until I'm home that they've ruined it by putting rice in it (yes, I dislike rice that much). Don't even suggest that I check before I pull away from the restaurant - what a mess! Counter staff is rude and it takes forever to get your order (a bean and cheese burrito shouldn't take 10 - 15 minutes to make). Maybe putting all that damn rice on is what takes so long, I don't know. Pico sauce isn't much to write home about either. It's mostly onions with little else. Plus it's in a plastic container that leaks everywhere and the car ends up smelling for days.

After getting my order wrong again last night, I went to Taco Bell (hey, I'm serious about this NO RICE business and tossed the one from Cha Cha Cha). Taco Bell's refried beans tase the same as Cha Cha Cha's (probably get them out of the same can) and they understand that when I say NO RICE I mean it! Plus the counter staff is polite. Maybe the staff from the Broadway Cha Cha Cha should stop by for some lessons.
