cha cha chicken

amazing! the only word that comes to mind. everything my party ordered was delicious.jerkchicken, spinach n chicken quesidillas, couconut fried chicken. service was great! there was a little bit of a wait and everytime i went by the restaurant there was a line but definitely worth the wait!

colorful atmosphere and flavors. tried out cha cha 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 thejerkchicken 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 pineapplejerksauce. 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.

they conveniently open at 10 on weekends so i went for breakfast. add the colourful semi-outdoor dining areas and reggae music and it’s a good place to hang. thejerkcombo had an enchilada and a tostada with chicken, rice, beans and cabbage on it. they both had the same shredded chicken so maybe a bit pointless as a combo but the chicken was good with a richjerksauce with a medium heat level that lingered for quite a while afterwards. maybe a bit expensive but it was a big breakfast.

on the beach is cha cha chicken. no frills place with outdoor and indoor seating. the batter fried chicken and the chicken burgers are what this place is famous for. thejerkchicken with its mustard sauce is great. cha cha 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.

yeah its a must try and be prepared to wait - nothing fancy but goodjerkchicken, plenty of food.  its outdoor section is find your own table and wait in line to order.  its not very expensive either...

famous for theirjerkchicken they also do a coconut chicken that is to die for. served with so sweet rice and those "other" kinda bananas (plankton well that's what they taste like). three big chunks of white meat and all good thejerkis wonder though.

just got back from dinner there and we had the best time. great food out on the patio! tried both the coconut andjerkchicken, both were fantastic.

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 jamaicanjerkchicken? cha cha 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 mediumjerksauce that this oven roasted, fall-off-the-bone chicken smothered in spiced jamaicanjerksauce is just divine. i chose the medium level sauce that had just enough zip to make it interesting (it's also their most recommended).

the enchilada plate included grilled chicken rolled in corn tortillas and then doused withjerksauce (a mix of scotch bonnet peppers, allspice, thyme, brown sugar, and plenty of garlic). my youngest, who is just learning to appreciate caribbean flavors, opted for the coconut fried chicken and was persuaded to dip it into thejerksauce that came to the side. the fried plantains were an instant favorite, especially when i pointed out the plantains are like firmer, less sweet banan - see more at: http://www.wanderingeducators.com/best/traveling/raising-adventurous-eaters-lesson-fusion-food.html#.dpuf

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 signature cha chajerkchicken, 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 thejerkhut, 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!

yum yum yum!!!. their juices are scrumptious, their empanadas are not only the most addictive food on the planet, but they are gluten free as well. you can't go wrong here. everything i've had here was simply delicious. great fish tacos, pork stew,jerkchicken, coconut fried chicken. their sauces are what really makes everything sing in your mouth.

thejerkchicken enchiladas were covered lightly with a sweet spicy mango pineapplejerksauce. the shredded chicken was tender and infused with the flavor of the sauce.

mouth-watering good. thejerkchicken enchiladas were absolutely delicious. don't let the long line down the side walk discourage you, it is worth the short wait (food comes out fairly quick). tables/seats limited... take your order to go and walk a block over to the park / beach.

absolutely great!! the meal was great, flavorful and lots to eat. i hadjerkchicken enchiladas and was able to spice it up with their spicy sauce, cause that's how i roll. we are already planning our next office trip there for lunch!

...plays a steady reggae groove while doling out mouth-watering portions ofjerkchicken enchiladas done jamaican style smothered in their sweet spicy mango/pineapplejerksauce or spicy black pepper shrimp sautéed with pineapple and garlic and reduced in a sweet spicyjerksauce that's served with dirty rice and black beans, plantains and red cabbage slaw. just writing that makes the monster hungry. and wish he always had such delicious d
