Cha Cha Chicken

Cha Cha Chicken is a beloved, brightly colored Caribbean shack located just a stone's throw from the beach on Ocean Avenue. For years, it has been a go-to spot for locals and tourists seeking flavorful, affordable, and unpretentious food in a fun, laid-back setting. The restaurant is entirely outdoors, with a vibrant patio shaded by tropical plants and brightly painted umbrellas, instantly transporting diners to an island state of mind. The menu at Cha Cha Chicken is a celebration of Caribbean and Latin American flavors, with the undisputed star being their signature oven-roasted jerk chicken. It's perfectly spiced, incredibly tender, and served with generous portions of rice, black beans, and sweet plantains. Other popular items include the crispy coconut fried chicken served with a tangy mango sauce, and the inventive Jamaican jerk enchiladas. The portions are large, the flavors are bold, and the prices are remarkably reasonable for a restaurant so close to the ocean. One of the biggest draws of Cha Cha Chicken is its BYOB (Bring Your Own Booze) policy. Guests are welcome to bring their own beer or wine to enjoy with their meal, making it a highly popular and budget-friendly option for group dinners or a casual date night. The atmosphere is always lively and relaxed, with reggae music playing in the background. It's the perfect place to grab a satisfying meal after a long day in the sun or surf.
