A popular feature at the original Brea Downtown location, the champagne brunch is now available every Sunday from 11:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m., offering live Latin music, signature dishes, bottomless mimosas and award-winning margaritas in a lively atmosphere.

These dishes can be enjoyed a la carte or guests can take advantage of the 3-course special, featuring a choice of two appetizers and one entree for $24. The Latin-inspired restaurant also offers guests the option to enjoy bottomless real-fruit champagne mimosas for $10, made with freshly squeezed juices including mango and orange and hibiscus, with housemade syrup.
Cha Cha’s Latin Kitchen also offers award-winning margaritas that starts with 100% Blue Agave Tequilas, from iconic and boutique brands, to guarantee the highest quality.
With seating options on the open air patio, the expansive indoor and outdoor bar or the inviting dining room which features floor-to-ceiling retractable windows that provide plenty of natural light, Cha Cha’s provides the perfect space to spend a Sunday afternoon.
