From the Restaurant

Toribio Prado & Mario Tamayo opened the original Cha Cha Cha in Silverlake in 1986. The restaurant’s Caribbean food & festive atmosphere was inspired by their travels & became a quick success. Cha Cha Cha has always been a family-owned & run business & three of Mr. Prado’s nephews, Miguel, Jorge, & Javier Anaya became part of the team early on. They honed their skills at other restaurants, such as The Ivy, Cava Restaurant, The Ritz Carlton & California Pizza Kitchen & were part owners in Confete. In June 2003, they became the principal owners of the Silverlake Cha Cha Cha. Cha Cha Cha is a place for celebration & when someone steps through the doors partner Miguel Anaya says he has one goal in mind. “We want a place where someone can come in to enjoy the great food & forget about the outside world.

Amazing hidden spot!

Love the Caribbean cuisine! Fun restaurant in the Silver Lake area! Everyone loves the jerk chicken, but the menu has lots of other tastey items. Order a bunch of different items and share! Make sure you grab a pitcher of sangria while you’re there!
