Cha Cha Chicken

Staff was very friendly and lots of options — the yucca fries were a big hit with us all and the plantains were delicious! Chicken was very good, just a little dry for my liking. We will definitely go back and give them another try.

Best Peruvian chicken in the Annapolis! We are regulars here for take out. The chicken has great flavor and is very juicy. Their side selection is awesome. I’m a fan of the Yucca and the plantains.
All things with chicken in it is amazing. The chicken tacos beat El Cabrito’s tacos hands down. The shrimp dishes are not my choice here. but anything out of that charcoal rotisserie is amazing!

The food was EXCELLENT! Called for my company at 10:30, food was ready by 11:15. Quick and friendly service, the quality is superb — my coworkers couldn’t get enough of the great food. Oscar was so helpful, as was the rest of the staff and I can’t wait to eat here again. I will definitely be back and I will recommend Cha Cha Chicken to my friends and family! Thank you so much again!

Great spot to grab quick food to go. Good options for kids and adults alike. Nice to have food options in that part of town!

If only most small businesses were this good. For what these guys do, they do it very well. And always with a smile. I usually go around dinner (7 – 9) when the daytime crush that others mentioned has died down, and the chicken is hot off the rotisserie and delicious. For the speed, taste and price, it’s hard to do better than this place.

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE. Chicken with plantains and delicious green spicy sauce. Can’t be beat for a great meal.

Great food above all, but, even better service, such a clean place, more than I can say for most places with similar menu, family atmosphere with out the loud music that doesn’t allow a normal conversation.
Give them a try!

My FAVORITE chicken spot. In fact it is the only Peruvian chicken place I have ever been to. At first I started with tacos then one day ordered the ¼ chicken. Pure heaven! The green sauce is the BEST I have ever had. Great place! Friendly staff and very clean.

I live close by cha cha chicken was passing by for over a year so one day why not cha cha never had Peruvian chicken so I when in setup was a fast food joint go up the counter an order I went with half a chicken with dark meat couldn’t wait to eat as soon as I got it on good the chicken was hot temperature an flavor was right on it give it a try

Nice and clean, friendly smiling staff, the chicken is as good as Sardi’s, green beans good, too. Rice and black beans had great flavor but could use a stickier/​fluffier white rice, mine got a little soupy. Their green sauce is spicy but lacks that creamy guacamole avocado consistency you get with other Peruvian chicken joints. Bottom line; this place hits the spot if you need a Peruvian chicken fix!

Tried this place for the first time on a Thursday afternoon. It was totally empty so I was expecting fresh food made to order. Sadly, that’s not what I received.
The interior was very clean and smelled great. The staff was courteous and efficient. Those are all the good points.
I’ve had Peruvian chicken before, at several restaurants throughout the D.C. area and have yet to be disappointed. I ordered the quarter dark meal, with rice and pinto beans and a side salad. It’s nearly impossible to dry out dark meat, especially rotisserie style, but these guys have managed to do just that. All the seasoning was on the skin, which was soggy, not the crispy skin I get Peruvian chicken for. I peeled it off after 1 bite, and then lost ALL the flavor in the lukewarm meat. I didn’t finish my chicken. The beans had a little too much bite to them and weren’t moist over the flavorless fried rice. The salad was fresh, but I wasn’t offered any dressing. I won’t be back but wish them luck.

Fresh, made to order food. I had a Torta Milanese de Pollo. Tomato, avocado, breaded chicken, lettuce, bean spread and quest fresco. I had never had a Torta roll, but I liked it.
The décor is bright and colorful. Everything appears to be clean.
I’ll definitely come back to try some more off the menu.

Very unfortunate experience. I had great hopes for Cha Cha Chicken. Will a bit spare, the interior only served to raise my hopes. It is clean and tidy and while a little industro-​cafeteria actually quite nice and comfortable. The young lady behind the counter was very pleasant.
I placed a carry out order for their ¼ chicken and roast pork entrée with fried plaintains and mixed vegetables and three shredded pork tacos.
At home we discovered no chicken in the chicken and pork entrée. The pork was extremely fatty and generally unpleasant. After a six minute drive home all wrapped up in styrofoam the pork was cold. It could not possibly have been hot coming out of the kitchen. The plaintains were soggy. The mixed vegetables were bland; they could well have been a frozen vegetable mix of carrots, broccoli and cauliflower direct from the bag to a microwave. The pork tacos were very average and even as such were the high point of the «meal.»
I will return only to get some accommodation for the missing chicken.

Hidden gem. Cheap. Quality ingredients. Nice interior. Can’t wait to go back next time in area for a quick bite

Lomo Saltado is ridiculously tasty (even though not traditionally peruvian)…and the chicken rocks. This is a real treasure with a super clean dining room, friendly staff, and fun décor.
Inexpensive, and REALLY yummy dishes. Don’t let the exterior dissuade you from trying a great spot.
And as a bonus is an ice cream joint next door that makes their own delicious ice cream.

The only reason I’m giving this place 3 stars is because they got rid of their Peruvian potato salad. I only got a chance to try it once and it was AMAZING. Their wings are pretty tasty and so are their tortas. Take out is quick (unless there’s a line at the restaurant). They give you plenty of sauces to try with your chicken. The staff is really friendly and it’s a cool place if you want to stop by for a quick ‘no frill’ lunch.

The majority of the time this place is amazing. The food is well-​priced and the roasted chicken is always great. Other things can be hit or miss. For example, one day I ordered the fried chicken tenders, and was served fried chicken cutlets. I don’t know if they were simply out of tenders, or trying to save money, but that didn’t earn them any points with me that day. The salad and house dressing is amazing, but other sides can also be hit-​or-​miss such as the mashed potatoes which tends to almost be the consistency of slop (watery). Overall, it’s great if you know which items to avoid.

Well let’s start off by saying this is not your normal Peruvian chicken joint. Cha-​cha chicken has a little bit of everything on the menu. Tonight I decided to go with a half chicken with yucca fries and green beans. The chicken tasted great but, was a little dry and one the small size. The green beans, although a large portion size, was cold to the touch and undercooked. But the saving grace was the extra-​large size yucca fries that had just come out of the cooker and were bubbly hot. The yucca fries were crispy but not overcooked and combined with the white and green sauces were the star of my meal.
This is one place I would recommend you venture out and give a shot, but deafly come after 530 when the rush makes it through the front door, this will ensure that you get warm food. I showed up around 5 o’clock and noticed there was very little steam coming off the steam table and the food look like it had been around all afternoon.
All in all it was a nice dinner in a clean environment, with little to no distractions. Great value for the dollar.

Nothing great but not bad either. im annoyed with the service. no o e was outwardly rude. but it was automatically assumed that my order was to go. I was never asked if it was eat in or to go. I pay for my food and collect my receipt. and sit in that stalls. they yell out my order. And its wrapped in a bag. its then I notice everyone else (everyone is the other individual in the restaurant) has numbers and the staff is bringing their food out.
I ordered chicken and waffles. I asked the last for dark chicken. she said it came with tenders. sooo this placebis know for its peruvian charcoal chicken. but im getting tenders. they were ok. the waffle was good. nice and buttery.
If I were in the area I may stop by again… but I might not.

New or at least in August 2014, looks just like Lima on West Street but I think it’s cheaper and has better sides to offer. The chicken ark meat was great, but the white meat was too dry for me.
Skip the mac and cheese, it was over cooked and tasted powdered, though the capatavi was a nice choice. The tostones were rocking’ even if they had sat on the line and been steamed all the way home. The obligatory yellow and green sauce like Lima came in the shame sheepish micro cups. Ask for a few, you will need them and quite frankly they are both good.
