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.

The beer is great and the mussels in garlic sauce were decent. We also tried sample tastes of about half the menu from all the many people we met at the bar. The focus is really on a more Caribbean (or is it Louisiana style? African maybe? Spanish, Cuban?) style menu and FUN! Ask the bartenders about the Santeria altar that they must pay homage to before every shift. Leave a Comment

 Tlhe other white
starch--plantains by madamx
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.

 Sangria and salsa whets the
appetite by jessicadf
And hey -- go for the sangria as well -- deeeelicious. They don't take reservations and it seems there's always a wait. If you can wait inside, you can forget about waiting while you down a pitcher or two of the sangria. Mmmm Leave a Comment

 Sangria... yummm by LolaSanFrancisco
Lunch served everyday from:
11:30am- 4:00pm
Dinner served from:
5:00pm- 11:00pm Sun- Thurs
5:00pm-11:30pm Fri-Sat
Some web thingie: "This wildly popular Caribbean-style eatery won't disappoint if you're looking for great food at great prices in a funky atmosphere. The bright oilcloths, palm trees and friendly staff set the stage for hearty tapas, spicy sandwiches and Cuban black bean soup. The shrimp sauteed in Cajun spices alone is worth coming for; with a side of their fried new potatoes with pasilla chile aioli and a glass of house-made sangria, you've reached heaven in the heart of the Haight. This café offers Caribbean and Cuban cooking. Expect the average entrée to cost roughly $12 to $20."

Our last meal in San Francisco was at Cha Cha Cha in Haight Ashbury for lunch on Monday, there were quite a few people there for lunch, the reviews on Yelp suggest that there can be quite a wait on the weekends and they don't take reservations. I'm sure the vibe is quite different for dinner than lunch, we had a nice quiet meal with extremely quick service, it sounds like it is much more boisterous for the weekend dinner crowd. The decor is best described as voodoo, black walls, lots of religious items on shelfs around the dining room. There is a bar where you can order some sangria if you are headed for a long wait.
We ordered two tapas, fried platanos madros, tropical sweet fried bananas with black beans & sour cream ($6.25) and pork quesadilla with salsa, guacamole, & sour cream ($6.75) and a Cuban sandwich ($8.75) to split. All of it was very good, I would say 1 1/2-2 tapas per person as the portion sizes were fairly large on the tapas. After rereading the reviews on Yelp, I'm sorry I didn't try the Cajun shrimp or the sangria, apparently the two MUST orders at this place. And the calamari, jerk chicken and chicken wings alll looked really good when they passed by our table, maybe next time!
Lunch for the two of us was $29 with tax.
