Just happened upon this fun restaurant as I was walking the Haight Ashberry area. I was seated at the bar. They have a good selection of mixed drinks beer and wine. The bartender server was very friendly and had recommendations of places to visit. The food was amazing. I had the pepper and onion sandwich. It was very good. I recommend this as a great stop for food, people, and atmosphere.

Located on Haight Street, across the street from Kezar arena. This is a fun Caribbean restaurant is a great place to enjoy delicious food and sangria! I highly recommend their The paella mixta, which is Spanish rice with saffron, mussels, clams, chunks of fish and shrimp. We loved their cajun shrimp, which was more like a spicy, coconut-tomato bisque soup with shrimp. Served with slices of bread. Their breaded calamari was a great appetizer.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Edward Nan · Feb 2026

Very disappointing dining experience overall. The food was far below expectations. The menu highlights their “famous” sangria, but it turned out to be quite ordinary and nothing special. The ceviche had a strong fishy taste that made it difficult to eat. The voodoo pasta was extremely oily and heavy — it might appeal to some people, but it is definitely not worth the price. The service was also lacking. No one came to refill water or check in on our experience, and we did not feel the level of respect or attentiveness that should come with a restaurant at this price point. Despite this, I still left a decent tip, but overall, I would not recommend this place.

Thank you to the Cha Cha Cha team for making our New Year’s Eve night special! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a beautiful smile from our host who sat us right away. The ambiance was warm and delightful and our servers made our dinning experience one of a kind! The ceviche was soo delicious! We also ordered the steamed mussels, the bbq chicken quesadilla & the rice & beans. All of it was so yummy! Oh! And the sangria was on hit! This will be a night we will always remember! I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year’s and may everyone have a blessed 2026!!

Stopped by for lunch after a friend recommended this place. The staff were super friendly, and the bright, colorful vibe made it a fun spot to visit. The food was really good and I would definitely recommend it if you’re in San Francisco!
