For Immediate Release: Cha Cha’s Tacos & Tequila Opens in Downtown Brea

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 3, 2009 --

Cha Cha’s Tacos & Tequila has opened its doors in the heart of downtown Brea. The California-Latin-inspired eatery spotlights locally grown produce, dishes roasted in a hardwood-fired oven, meats slow cooked on a rotisserie and cocktails made with fresh squeezed juices and seasonal fruit. The result is a cuisine in which quality, integrity and flavor are always emphasized. “Our hope is to convey our appreciation for all types of Latin cuisine using the best local and regional ingredients available,” says Peter Serantoni, co-creator and managing partner. “The menu reflects lots of Latin influences – we’re not just one style but rather a celebration of lots of different cooking methods and flavor profiles.”

Cha Cha’s menu features traditional albeit diversely unique dishes, each artfully prepared and plated. Items are also affordably priced with appetizers ranging from $3.50 to $10.50 and entrees all under $17. Freshmade fire-roasted table salsas hint to the rich natural flavors in every dish. Appetizers such as Chicken Flautas are served with roasted corn, gaujillo chile, Oaxaca cheese with tangy mango-habanero salsa; Manila clams are sautéed with garlic and Spanish chorizo; and a wood-fired Queso Fundido all showcase the forward-thinking nature of the cuisine. Other delights such as enchiladas, made-to-order guacamole, marinated carne asada, and savory skillet-baked carnitas, are all freshly prepared in their open kitchen. A host of cooking methods is deployed in the preparation of entrees; Salmon Vera Cruz is seared in a 550 degree wood-burning oven; the sea bass, shrimp and clams that are featured in their Seafood Caldo are baked in a traditional clay dish with toasted fideo and served in a saffron-smoked paprika broth; and their signature spit-roasted Jidori Chicken is marinated in Yucatan spices and served fresh off the restaurant’s giant rotisserie alongside fresh vegetables, homemade salsas, and organic corn tortillas. Tempting desserts made entirely from scratch are equally appealing such as Tres Leches Cake, Flan, and Cajeta Caramel Cheesecake.

Apart from its spacious and warmly lit main dining area, which includes comfortable booth seating and cozy banquettes, guests may dine al fresco with an equally spacious and heated patio overlooking the vibrant, pedestrian-friendly promenade. The lively adjacent Cha Cha’s lounge is yet another area where guests can dine or cozy up to the bar and enjoy a vast selection of premium tequilas and original handcrafted cocktails. Those who enjoy a glass of vino will also delight in the variety of popular and boutique central coast, Spanish and South American wines.
