LA Cha Cha Chá

Mexican Restaurant 4.3 (469)


LA Cha Cha Chá is a vibrant rooftop restaurant that captures the essence of traditional Mexican dining with a modern twist. Customers often commend the flavorful dishes, particularly the seafood and authentic tacos. However, there's a sentiment that while the atmosphere is lively and inviting, some items can be overpriced relative to the portion sizes, slightly detracting from the overall value.

" I recently tried LA Cha Cha Chá and it was an experience worth mentioning! The rooftop seating was comfortable with a gorgeous view, but the highlight was the food. The pescado was outstanding—fresh and flavorful. The only real letdown was the mixed service; while the staff was friendly, we had to ask multiple times before getting our drinks. On the whole, this place deserves a visit, especially if paired with great company. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem in the Arts District! This place is fantastic for group dining. We snagged a reservation for a Saturday night and it was hopping! The chips and guac were a table favorite, but the true star was the carne asada. So much flavor packed in! The cocktails were inventive too, such as the spicy pineapple margarita—just perfect for the holiday vibes. I can't wait to return with more friends. The only downside was the portion size; I felt it could be improved. Still, highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited LA Cha Cha Chá for a birthday celebration and it was memorable! The ambiance was perfect for the occasion - the rooftop setting with string lights made it very festive. The service was attentive and friendly, making it feel more special. We ordered a variety of dishes, and while the tuna tostada was a standout, the portion of guacamole felt a bit small for the price. Overall, it's a great spot if you're after a lively night out, just be prepared for a splurge. " (*Curated Review*)

" A lovely dining experience with a romantic atmosphere! The highlight of my meal was definitely the steak, which was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. I felt the portions were reasonable, but if you’re really hungry, ordering extras is wise. The drinks were refreshing, and the service was friendly and efficient. I will definitely be returning with more friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed a delightful evening! The rooftop was inviting and had a fantastic view. The tacos were the highlight; flavorful and fresh. I felt at ease with the pace of our meal, and the staff attended to us well. The only downside was the cover charge for drinks that added up quickly. Highly recommend the seafood options! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a delightful meal and a fun evening! The ambiance is vibrant and lively, while the food was flavorful. The seafood options stood out to me, especially the aguachile. The portions matched the price range, though I'd have enjoyed a slightly larger share for the items offered. Definitely looking forward to trying more dishes in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great dining experience overall! The rooftop is enchanting with great views. I was quite impressed by the quality of the tacos, especially the carnitas, which were delicious and full of flavor. The melty cheese dish, however, was overcooked and didn’t match the authentic experience I was hoping for. The pricing is decent for what you get. I would certainly return in the future!
