Food: Departure from the mediocre

At Cha Cha's Latin Kitchen, the experience is ignited with its unique menu taking us on a culinary journey. The Chicken Flautas crisp exterior with a soft center, the rich and creamy flan, and the flavorful Shrimp Tacos with their salsa, all stand testament to their emphasis on freshness and creativity. However, the equally vital culinary aspects like taste, portions, value, and variety seem like an afterthought, as they don't meet the high bar set by dishes.

Perks: An exercise in patience

The service, while accommodating various dietary restrictions and pet-friendliness, has been reported to be slow with unprofessional staff.
