Went Cha Chas tonight for dinner for Mexican food. OMG it was yhe best Mexican food I have had here in Arlington area. The young lady Yohanah that served our table is absolutely amazing. She is very attentive, not only with the adults but the children that are at the table as well. She makes you feel right at home. The food was also very good.We had chicken chimichanga, chicken and steak fajitas, and the quesabirria. We highly recommend this Cha Chas. Sorry no pitures. read more

This place is a go-to, in our family. Food is always great and we order it, every time. I tired the birria tacos, this past time, and they were excellent -- my only wish is that it came with 3, instead of 2, and that they were a bit bigger, but the meat was perfect on it!! We all love their charro beans, and the margaritas were delicious and refreshing!! Clean restrooms, and great service, at the table, especially since there were six of us!! Again, we enjoy this place!! read more

Barely got service and I ordered a to-go soup for my mom who is extremely sick. If you wanna spend $7 on a to-go soup the size of a tortilla chip this is a great place to go. Tried to get the manager but after waiting 20 minutes for the to-go sample we decided to leave. Otherwise food was good. read more

Our first trip but won't be our last.......Saturday all-day happy hour was a bonus.......the food was delicious, the margaritas were perfect and the staff was incredibly friendly......we recommend the quesadillas but also loved the chips and salsa, chicken soft taco and chicken enchilada with the green sauce read more

My wife and I went in early and were seated right away. Our server was super quick and friendly. Took our drink order and then came back and took the food order. No stress or hurry up attitude. Food came out quick and hot. Very tasty. I had the Mexican Pizza (awesome) and wife had chicken fajitas ( very very good). [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was not crowded and the volume was just right for talking.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restroom was clean as was the rest of the place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Very good and would definitely recommend. read more

We visit this Mansfield location very often. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Tonight was a very busy night, of which we had no problem with.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The problem came when our buzzer went off and I took it to the front and handed it to the young lady. She took it, sat it on the counter and proceeded to help others who's buzzer had gone off as well. After about 5 minutes I asked her if she planned to seat us. She replied that there was still 8 people in front of us. I asked why our buzzer went off. And she explained to me that she must have hit it on accident. No remorse, no apologies, nothing. I did speak to the manager and she offered to seat us. Unfortunately at that time I was too irritated to even eat there. I lost my appetite due to the poor service. read more

Cha-cha's is classic Arlington, I mean it burned down once and they had to rebuild it because everyone here freaked out what are we gonna do without our cha-chas... The nice thing about it is the food is large portions very tasty. The staff is very helpful and always keeps you refilled, and their sopapillas are huge... [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a cute little restaurant and a classic.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's my favorite place for Chile Riano's, sometimes I just get them à la carte. I also really love their empanadas... They are very tasty, crispy outer crust wonderful gooey centers with beef and cheese and tastiness. You can also get it with the chorizo if you want. And then, of course the standards are perfect there whether it's enchiladas or tacos. And of course, their margaritas they're also plentiful. Maybe I'll see you there. read more

Love the mexican pizza and the spicy jalapeño that comes with it. The kids like t)3 "baby" salsa.

I'm really disappointed writing this because I didn't expect to leave in pain from what should have been a normal dinner. During my visit today close to 8pm, I was mistakenly served hot oil instead of consommé, and it burned my mouth immediately more of a thermal burn. I was sitting there icing my lips and mouth because of how painful it was, and I let the staff know right away. I asked if I could replace the original "consommé" bowl for a new one and she said she would go exchange them for us and tell her manager to come speak with me, but no one ever came. I was honestly so upset and uncomfortable that my husband ended up asking for to-go boxes and our check so we could leave. We were there in total maybe 30 minutes mainly waiting on food. When my server went back to the kitchen to explain what happened, I could hear a male staff member talk to her in Spanish. He didn't seem to bother, almost sounded like he was laughing over his mistake. I am fluent in Spanish, and hearing that tone in that moment was very upsetting, especially knowing this situation happened because of a mistake that caused me harm. Since then, I've been dealing with pain, irritation, and loss of taste, which has been really concerning. I have documented visible irritation to my lips and tongue following this incident. I understand that mistakes can happen, but what made this experience so disappointing was the lack of response from management. I didn't feel acknowledged or taken seriously. Our server sweet as can be but I felt I had to leave to avoid crying and anger because I was really excited to eat my usual plate of quesabirria quesadillas with my side of rice. It made me so sad knowing I waited all day for it for my first bite to be my last that night. read more

We like coming to Cha Cha's for their lunch specials during the week, they have good prices and really fast service. We have come many times and each time the wait staff we get are always pleasant and helpful. Never had bad customer service here. We also come for dinner and on the weekends. I usually get the beef stuffed empanadas, as my meal. It comes as an appetizer or a meal, but the meal is so much food there's always leftovers. My sons get enchiladas or fajita topped enchiladas and my husband switches up what he gets but has always liked what he gets. It's good food, not our absolute favorite, but it is good. I would say don't come an hour or so before closing, they like to wrap up and get out of there. First time I ever felt rushed here. We arrived at 7:40 pm, ordered our queso, drinks and food and got it right away. They close at 9pm. But at 8:23pm our waitress came over and said the kitchen was closing in 5 mins so if we wanted dessert or anything else we had to order right then. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They had been mopping floors the entire time and putting chairs on tables the entire time we were there and while we ate. It felt as if we were doing something wrong and keeping them late when they still had almost 40 mins till close.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I've never been a fan of restaurants putting chairs on tables while open for business, I'm used to doing closing things after closed and adjusting schedules and work hours of staff to reflect that.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I definitely understand working non traditional hours. read more

We are new to the area and are looking for that special place that we would enjoy going to eat our favorite food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We stopped by after church and it was a good thing that we got there early as it progress progressively became very busy. The parking lot was empty when we got there, but it was full when we left![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We brought our two grandchildren with us and the waiter that we had was absolutely wonderful with them. They could not get over the fact that he brought them ice cream and they did not even order it! But even more impressive was the magic trick with the coin that he did . They can't stop talking about it. Please understand we are extremely extremely picky about our tex-Mex food! I had a half order of chicken fajita nachos and my husband had a half order of chicken fajita quesadillas. I really appreciate it that the nachos work just covered deep with cheese on nearly every chip! Both for Hardy enough half plates to satisfy us both. The chips were light and crispy and the salsa was a good balance of mild with a little kick. The most important item for us is queso and ironically, we did not order it. We plan on going back to try that out. It's ridiculous as it sounds. That will be the make or break item, lol! However, we really enjoyed it and we will definitely be back! We will probably ask for the same waiter! read more

After living in the area for over two years, we finally made it to Cha Cha's. We have been hunting for a Mexican restaurant that might come close to the Mexican food we are used to in Southern California; unfortunately, this was not the place. Our experience wasn't all bad. Cha Cha's has a decent ambiance, our server Emma, was wonderful, and their chips and salsa and margaritas are great! Our entrees is where it went wrong. I ordered the grilled shrimp tacos and my husband ordered the carne asada. We agreed that the only thing good on each of our plates was the beans and rice. They were delicious. My shrimp tacos had only 3 shrimp on each taco with a PILE of shredded cheese and lettuce mix. I didn't taste a hint of seasoning and there was no type of sauce. My husband, who never complains, sent his carne asada back stating that the meat tasted bad. There were two slices of skirt steak, also without any hints of seasoning and he said one tasted like it was old/spoiled and he stopped eating. It was overall, disappointing, except for what I mentioned above. I am doubtful we will return. If you are looking for delicious grilled shrimp tacos, head over the Chuy's (yes, Chuy's). We have yet to find good carne asada. read more

I've heard alot of things about this place and I've wanted to try it for awhile. I'm not sure that it lives up to the hype. The food and drinks were decent. We got the birria tacos and they were good just a bit salty. The charro beans were really good though. Our waitress was great. The inside is pretty spacious with really long booths. The bathroom was a tad bit dusty but a decent place to eat if you're wanting some quick Mexican food. read more

It's still a great place to eat out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Yes they stay busy but they are definitely skilled at turning tables.

Cha Cha's Mexican Restaurant has been a special part of my life for as long as I can remember and is truly a Mansfield gem! I've been coming here since I was a kid, and at 17, I was lucky enough to start working here--first as a hostess, then as a waitress. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere has always been warm, welcoming, and truly family-based. It's more than just a restaurant--it's a community.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've noticed some low-star reviews recently, and frankly, they seem to come from people who are bored or looking for something to complain about. So I wanted to take a moment to recognize the incredible work that actually goes into running a business and making this place run every single day. Freddie Trevino, the manager, and his hardworking staff are the heart of this restaurant. No matter the time of day or how many hours they've worked, the entire team consistently delivers delicious, authentic Tex-Mex food with care and pride. It's a family-owned business that's been through its share of hardships--including the heartbreaking loss of their main cook to cancer years ago. Yet, the team continues to honor his legacy by keeping the flavors and heart of Cha Cha's alive. No restaurant is perfect, but the memories I've made here--since I was 9 years old, through my teenage working years, and still today--are unforgettable! The food, the people, and the energy are a true reflection of the Trevino family and their deep connection to this town. Thank you to Freddie and the amazing kitchen and waitstaff for keeping Cha Cha's going strong all these years. Mansfield wouldn't be the same without you!! read more

Our old favorite, Cha Cha's. [sigh]. Always a favorite. Superior Tex-Mex. Insider tip-get the charro beans . They are unbelievable. So, you ask, why another review. Well, it's because I tried something new. Well new to me. The Mexican Pizza. Oh. My. Gosh. It is sooooooooo good. I've never had it before! Why not? I've wasted all that time . Crispy flour tortilla on bottom. And a TON of beef, beans, cheese, the mysterious ranchero sauce, cheese, lettuce and tomato. Perfect appetizer for a group of six or dinner for 2.. Topped with a giant jalapeno pepper. (Eat as is or scrape out the spine and seeds for a tamed down version. ) Just had to let you know about this new find. As always, great chips, hot sauce and enchiladas, nachos and really everything else. Oh! Don't forget the flour tortillas. Aye their is not enough room!!/ Dios mio! read more

We were finally visiting this local Mexican restaurant, we drove by all the time and the parking lot is always full, so we wanted to see what was attracting so many locals. We were seated right away, the place is dark, lack of color typical of Mexican restaurants. Our drinks came right away, and we ordered Guac and Queso to snack on with the chips and salsa that arrived at our table. The chips are thin, so they break when you grab any salsa, the salsa unfortunately was runny and plain, kind of the bottle or can salsa, no chunks, no cilantro, no spices. The Queso was probably can cheese, probably, no real butter or cheese in it. The Guac was fresh but plain. The beef fajitas were smoky and tasty, came with commercial package yellow corn tortillas (not homemade), charro beans (kudos to the chef: the best charro beans I had in a while), and Mexican rice, but no effort was made in the rice (was flavorless). My wife had the Chicken Pechuga (baked breast) it was very dry and lacked seasoning. The beef fajitas get one star, the charro beans get one star, so I gave the restaurant two stars. I do see how this place would come here often, this is a slight upgrade to fast food taco places. read more

The chips and salsa are so good, I would come just for that alone. I got the Molcajete and it was very flavorful and came out quickly. The server checked up on our frequently and kept refreshing our drinks. The queso was not good at all and the parking is horrible. read more

Parking is intense here. Learned that if there are no spaces in the parking lot that guest park in the parking lot near the H&R Block. There are multiple signs warning you not to park in front of H&R Block so park near the street or middle spots. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself is cute.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is pretty noisy so if you're with guest who may have a hard time hearing I probably wouldn't suggest this place during their busy hours.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The menu prices were reasonable. My friend liked that they had a create your own plate. Gives you a chance to try menu items you prefer. Service was pretty good and the server was friendly. I ordered combo fajitas and they were decent. Portions were generous in my opinion. I was satisfied with the quality and flavor of the food for the price I paid. Give it a try and explore the menu! It was good. read more

I want to start by saying "Our family has loved and dined at ChaChas for the last 10 years." My husband and I are empty nesters who just want to eat out at a casual restaurant with consistently good food. It's not fancy, but consistently good food. Last night we dined. They nickel and dimed us last night with tortillas (we ordered guacamole) . But after all that- we were charged $24 for FOUR (4) sopapillas.. if you don't know, it's just a little fried dough with sugar . We are NOT GOING BACK. It was a grotesque display of price gouging. Get yourself right ChaChas . PS if you still go after reading this...ask for Adam. He's a great server. read more

Our friends made us this our first stop directly from the airport for lunch. We we're seated right away and the food started to flow shortly afterwards. I ordered the Spicy Brisket Tacos that was tasty but it wasn't as spicy as I had expected but good nevertheless. The server was great and the prices was reasonable. I'm going to go back and try the fajitas next time. Definitely worth giving them some love. read more

Came here on a recommendation from work and was not disappointed! Menu has all the classics plus some original dishes.... I was thrilled to see Molcajetes on the menu! So much flavor and absolutely delicious. Chips and salsa hit the spot and the service was super.

Margaritas on special! That should grab your attention! This place is well loved by its local fans! I'm guessing if you eat here all of the time, you, too would love it. I didn't find it all that good, but remember, I love deep fried tacos from a drive through place so that may tell you to not trust my review! I'm being generous with 4 stars as the local folks swear by this place and 2 at the table lived nearby. I ordered the brisket enchiladas. Think about that for a bit. What came out were cheese enchiladas with thin sliced brisket smothered in nacho cheese sauce. It was an okay flavor, but not quite what I was hoping for. The chips are pretty good, but the sauce was searing my tender tongue. Service was pretty good and prices even better! Again, the rest of the folks at my table loved it! read more

Always great food and Cameron was amazing all three times we were there! The food brings back the nostalgia of living there. Love it

We pass by this place a lot. The parking lot is always packed, that's not an exaggeration either. We figured it must be good, so we decided to stop in. The packed parking lot must be out of location more than experience. It was super busy, but in 10 minutes we were seated. Nice enough place, full Mexican deco. Chips and salsa, chips were harder than I'd like but my wife likes them. Salsa we both agreed was lacking spice. All tomato, no spice. We did ask for something spicier and they eventually brought some green sauce, basically jalapeño salsa. it was good. Wife had thenCha's Cha's special and I had the Maria's. The tacos were great!!!! The flavor on the sauces over the enchiladas was good. The insides of tue enchiladas (cheese and chicken) was flavorless. Wife's enchiladas came out cold. They did replace them quickly. Waitress seemed distracted or busy. Kept forgetting what she was going to do for us. Overall, the food was ok. Standard Tex Mex fare. Won't be a place I'll go after just to have Mexican, but could stop back in if I'm the area. read more

My Sis and I went to this restaurant around noonish on March 16,2024. We visited a couple of times before and were very satisfied. but on this past Saturday I have to say the food was no where near what we expected. I was excited to know they served Menudo a Mexican soup and for me to say it was terrible is a big deal. There was not enough flavor in it , it was very bland the meat was very mushy and not firm I ate a 1/4 of the bowl and could not finish it. My Sister had carne guisada and again no flavor you could taste the flour that the gravy was made out of and the meat was very fatty. So we ordered a couple of carnitas tacos and to me the meat was good but not shredded and the corn tortilla was very greasy. Again I was very disappointed because we had been there before and it was very good I don't know what happened that day read more

Cha-chas is one of those consistently good Mexican restaurants that you know that you can go and get great food, great service and be in an out in record time. We come here a lot for work lunch because we know that we are going to enjoy it and easily be back to our desk timely. I love the lunch combo chicken enchiladas with sour cream sauce and a soft beef taco. When I'm not feeling that, I will often choose the nachos (which are so delicious) or a plate of bacon wrapped shrimp. Don't miss out on the Charro beans. read more

Cha Cha's Mexican Restaurant - Lunch special - Tex-Mex Near Me - Mansfield, Texas

Wow. So. Much. Food. We've driven past this place a few times and the parking lot has always been packed. That piqued our interest and tonight was our night to check it out. We couldn't eat everything as we were getting so full halfway through. This is definitely the epitome of Tex-Mex cuisine and it was delightful. The ladies up front were so busy with to-go orders, helping everyone get seated, the wait list people, etc but they were all so welcoming and kind. All were presentable and attentive, I noticed while waiting for my order. The restaurant itself was bustling. So many people seated and a few couples waiting to be seated. People eating and conversating happily on a Friday night. Got our food home and everything was packaged nicely. The queso with meat was my favorite! The banana nut bread and praline was a nice surprise at the register. I couldn't tell if the praline was a cookie or a soft brittle. Nonetheless, this momma enjoyed it a great deal. Hubby liked the sauce on his seafood enchiladas. The babies enjoyed the rice and beans. Next time, I hope to try the empanadas! read more

Margarita mix is horrible, so it doesn't matter if you substitute for Patron. Had 1 sip and sent the maragarita back. It had a weird dark yellow color. 2 waters were better than a disappointing margarita experience. They really need to upgrade their margarita mix. Restaurants cutting cost doesn't matter when you waste liquor, or people don't order them because they don't love your Margarita. Hacienda Ranch has a great example of a margarita. I always get their top shelf Perfecto or some name like that. The rest of the chicken fajita dinner for 2 was good. Good amount of chicken and onions, but sorely lacking on bell pepper. There might have been 2 bell pepper slices. Hostess was smiling, waitress was ok, but not happy or friendly upon initial arrival. Tough to tell if it's worth coming back. 50/50. Good looking outside patio and large flower bed areas. Average inside looks. Good hostess, Mediocre waitress, horrible margarita, and pretty good food. Hmm, what to do? read more

Great food and the people are wonderful! There is always plenty of seating with a wholesome atmosphere.

Went to Cha Cha's for some much needed girl time. The was great at first but once the place started getting busier his attentiveness went down. There were 5 of us and 2 meals were brought out extremely fast after ordering, but they finished before the next meals came. The last meal was delivered probably 25 mins after the first 2. It was just weird that one of the first meals and the last meal were the exact same ‍ Now the food was delicious! I got shrimp tacos and there was a nice amount of shrimp with nice big slices of avocado. Very tasty. I would have given 5 stars if it wasn't for the food issue but overall it was great. read more
