This Upper Haight restaurant has a lot going on, serving killer sangria and being a party people-watchin'- happenin' kinda place. Having arrived around 6:30 pm, it was quite subdued and relaxed while we were there, and we had a very nice dinner for our first night in San Francisco. The place is decorated in bright colors, with loads of tropical plants, and as you guessed by the name, the food is latin-themed. The service was excellent; but with all of San Francisco's restaurants beckoning, we just somehow never made it back there.
The portions are BIG; so make sure you are hungry when you go, or someone is willing to share. We only ate there once, so I don't have a favorite dish, but I thought the food there was really good. I never had fried plantains before, but I fell in love with them! They do not take reservations. Our waiter did inform us that later in the evening it gets very noisy and crowded with long waits. So if you're into that, arrive after 8:00 pm.

| | | | Cha-Cha-Cha: One of SF's best! | Tip Rating: Satisfaction: | | | | |
Living next to a place for so long sometimes you forget how cool it is. Cha-cha-cha's heyday was about 12 years ago,when this was a thriving area teeming with nightclubs. Most of the clubs - like the Nightbreak and the I-Beam - are long gone, but the good news is you'll only have to wait one hour to get into Cha-cha-cha insted of two! Before anyone had heard the word "tapas" there was Cha-cha-cha. I suppose that, technically, the portions are a little too big to be considered tapas - so call them what you will. As to what style it is - I would say Caribbean/Cuban with some really great sauces. Also a great selection of Mexican beer and their famous Sangria. Try to get there at opening time or close to it, and be prepared to wait. Best on a rainy day! A quintessential San Francisco experience - don't miss it!
The Calamari with Lemon Aioli is worth the trip... to San Francisco! Other notables - the warm spinach salad,the chicken paillard, the shrimp, the fried potatoes with chili aioli, and, of course, the Sangria.

Located at the corner of Haight/Shrader in the Haight/Ashbury one block east of GG Park.
