Cha Cha Cha

Cha Cha Cha offers all the fun of small plates with none of the fussiness: in this New World eatery, you can enjoy a pitcher of sangria beneath a glittering Santeria altar, and compliment your seafood paella with a side of jerk chicken. Garlicky black mussels, steamed and served in an aromatic saffron broth, are full-flavored without overwhelming your palate; pair them with a dish of savory plantains and a tropical beverage, and you’ll want to thank the orishas. A word to the wise: come at an off-hour, or be prepared to wait—Cha Cha Cha is proudly first-come, first-served.
