cha cha chicken

casual carribean vibe, you can bring your own alcohol too and the service was super friendly. seems to be busy day and night especially on weekends, but we didn't have too much trouble getting a table even if it's at the bar. tried the coconut fried chicken, crispy without the oiliness, it was tender but i couldn't really taste the coconut flavor. the two sauces it comes with though are pretty good and gives it a good kick. thechacha chicken was pretty tasty, tender and covered in their signature sauce. i'd definitly be getting that one again. lemonade was great accompaniment and not too sweet.

this place is always good and an awesome place to bring your friends who are out of town. it does get super busy on the weekends with out of towners though.
my favorite dish is thechacha chicken in mix (which is medium). i usually just get the 1/4 chicken and it's enough for me! they also have agua frescas which are worth trying, but at $3 a cup it's a little steep in my opinion especially because this spot is byob so you can bring in any drinks you want!

chachachicken rocks. have tried the jerked chicken and the ropa vieja. great recipes with unusual spices and
original tastes. "i'll be back"!!!

colorful atmosphere and flavors. tried outchacha chicken last night after living blocks from it for years. not sure why i waited so long. i like the colorful atmosphere and easiness of going up to the counter and ordering and paying first. i ordered the jerk chicken enchiladas - and one veggie one for my husband, which they were nice enough to do, as well as, the vegetarian stew and black bean soup - all really good. the enchiladas were their signature dish and were smothered in the sweet, yet spicy mango pineapple jerk sauce. we sat outside and enjoyed the warm weather while we ate. the girl at the counter also told us that besides getting drinks there, you can byob your own - wine, beer, whatever. so, definitely doing that next time to save some money. definitely going here again, can't wait to try out the some of the brunch specials next time.

on the beach ischacha chicken. no frills place with outdoor and indoor seating. the batter fried chicken and the chicken burgers are what this place is famous for. the jerk chicken with its mustard sauce is great.chacha chicken leaves you on your own and there is no concept of service. the good food and abysmally low prices makes this place a must go.

nice place to wind down the afternoon. not too heavy. i like the outside atmosphere. seems a popular place. food is good.chacha chicken was very tender but somewhat disappointed with the serving size. i ordered a 1/2 plate but it looks more like 1/4 size. overall a pleasant experience.

i came here on a late monday afternoon to avoid the crowds and i have to say, i now understand the weekend mobs that flood this establishment. so, who wants some jamaican jerk chicken?chacha chicken prides itself in serving "carribbean cuisine with latin fusion." for this review, i went with their signature chicken dish for a very filling late lunch. i will say that the medium jerk sauce that this oven roasted, fall-off-the-bone chicken smothered in spiced jamaican jerk sauce is just divine. i chose the medium level sauce that had just enough zip to make it interesting (it's also their most recommended).

nicely done, spicy fun. walked to this hole in the wall but eclectic joint from my perch at the j.w. marriott merigot. had found it on the site and inquired and was sold on it. clearly they know what they are doing.

went early, a bit chilly out and you order at the window, get a number and sit down to wait for it to come out.

ordered the signaturechacha jerk chicken, 1/4 plate, hot and it came out with rice and beans and the best fried plaintains ever. a small salad filled the rest of the plate. had a nice spicy ginger beer to go with the plate.

the chicken was totally awesome and blows away the jerk hut, who poses as a caribbean place in tampa. each bit of chicken i tried to pair with a sweet bite of the plaintain.

the plate was clean after i was done and none on my shirt. score! the ginger beer was the perfect foil of a beverage.

the chicken was so flavorful that the rice and beans were bland to me. next time double plaintains. by the time i left it was filling up as i did while there. would go back now. ;0)

a all the way. next time the coconout fried chicken is on my mind. try it mon!

makes my stomachchacha with happiness. i've been here just once, and immediately fell in love with it.
i got their coconut chicken, which was delicious.

their portions are more than fair, and quality of food is excellent.

their speed could be improved on, but the food is definitely worth the wait.

i definitely recommend this restaurant to visitors/tourists!
