    Really nice patio area & good drinks, but the food was a bit overpriced and not good enough to return in my opinion.

    The guacamole was good because it was cold and fresh. The chips were crunchy. The bluefin tuna tostada was colorful because of the two different colors of fish. The churros were soft and fluffy. I am definitely coming back.

    Amazing as always! It was our first time taking our kids and it was a pleasant and smooth experience. The hostess was awesome and even brought out a coloring sheet and crayons for our daughter to color. Top notch experience…we love La Cha Cha chá!

    Great table and ambiance. Food was delicious. Recommend the chipotle potatoes, tamale, chicken taco, and scallop tostada. Decent portion sizes even for the small plates. Patio was lively and cozy.

    If you’re looking for a place that combines stunning views, great food, and an amazing vibe, this spot is a must! It has a garden terrace that feels like you’re in a hollywood party, perfect for a night out or a special celebration. The terrace is spacious and chic, with plenty of greenery, and there’s a lively bar adding to the vibrant atmosphere. The menu is anything but ordinary – from the appetizers to the cocktails, we wanted to try everything! it was clear the chef balanced innovation and tradition. We went for a special occasion, and the service didn’t disappoint. The staff was attentive and made us feel welcome without being overbearing. And the music? Let’s just say it had us wishing for a dance floor! If you're looking for a restaurant that offers more than just a meal, this is it. Beautiful views, delicious food, great drinks, and a vibe that will leave you planning your next visit.

    Second time - the first time was years ago when it opened and it was very hard to get reservations - and I'm happy to report that the food is as fabulous as ever. I feel like back in the day, they had more taco options - which, though still delicious - they seem to be more limited. The ceviche is {chef's kiss} - heavenly.
