Decided to venture downtown for dinner with friends this past week after hearing good things about La Cha Cha Cha, especially its outdoor atmosphere. We booked for 7:30 PM on a Saturday.
When we arrived, we weren’t seated right away because our entire party wasn’t there yet (even though most of us had arrived). At first, we were placed away from the main outdoor space, which felt quiet and a bit underwhelming. Luckily, we convinced the host to move us to the main outdoor area — much livelier, and honestly the main reason we chose this spot.
Overall, the food and drinks were solid. Most dishes weren’t overly spicy, so they worked well for everyone. The cocktails were enjoyable, but I’d skip the Mexican Martini — interesting concept, but it didn’t quite land. They also had limited juice options (only pineapple and cranberry).
Our server was friendly, but I wish he had written down our order instead of trying to memorize it — one of our mains was served incorrectly. The menu is best enjoyed tapas-style, with small and large plates to share.
Expect to spend around $100 per person if you’re sharing dishes and having a couple of cocktails. Parking can be tricky if you’re hoping for free street parking, but valet and nearby lots are available.
We ended up having a good time, and I’d recommend this spot for a sunset catch-up with friends over drinks. Just note: it gets chilly in the evenings, so bring an extra layer. Enjoy!
Had the opportunity to try this place during Dine LA, and it is definitely one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. The food was absolutely delicious and the portions were huge. 4 course meal for only $45, and we had to get to go boxes since we were too full. Everything was made to perfection with so many unique flavors and textures. The atmosphere is so nice with plenty of outdoor and indoor seating on a rooftop. Immaculate service and great vibes, definitely worth checking out.

I stumbled upon La Cha Cha Cha in the Arts District and was so pleasantly surprised — what an incredible experience! The vibes were absolutely vibing — the space is full of lush greenery and has such a relaxed, welcoming energy. I loved that they even provide blankets if you get chilly (such a thoughtful touch!).
Our servers, Juan and Oliver, were incredibly sweet and attentive — they made us feel right at home. And the food? Delicious. Every dish was flavorful and beautifully presented, and the portions were large, which makes this an awesome spot to share plates with friends or a group.
All in all, this place totally exceeded my expectations. I can’t wait to go back!

The atmosphere was the highlight. The space is beautiful, and the vibe is great, definitely a cool spot if you’re looking for a chill restaurant. Our server was super nice and made the experience better.
That said, the food was just okay for me. Nothing terrible, but nothing that really stood out either. Pretty average overall. I think I’d come back more for the ambiance than the food itself.
