Cha Cha Cha Mexican Restaurant & Bar

Cha Cha Cha Mexican Restaurant & Bar is a casual Mexican restaurant at 32 Lorong Mambong in Holland Village. It has served Mexican food on this street for more than 30 years. It calls itself Singapore's oldest Mexican restaurant.

This is a relaxed, family-friendly place rather than a modern taqueria. Expect hearty Mexican classics, margaritas and a lively street outside your table.

What to order

The menu covers the Mexican dishes most visitors know. Sizzling fajitas, tacos, burritos and enchiladas sit alongside quesadillas, nachos and empanadas. Burritos and some other mains come with refried beans and Mexican rice.

The chimichanga is a regular favourite. It is a fried tortilla parcel with cheese and your choice of filling, such as pulled pork, shredded chicken or beef. Sour cream, guacamole and fresh tomato salsa go on top. For something richer, try the culaican: king prawns stuffed with cheese and wrapped in bacon. Fish tacos and pulled pork nachos are also popular picks.

Finish with churros. Margaritas are the classic drink here, and there is a strawberry version too.

The setting

Cha Cha Cha has an air-conditioned dining room, plus outdoor tables facing Lorong Mambong. The street is one of the main places to eat and drink in Holland Village, so the outdoor seats are good for watching the evening crowd.

The mood is casual and friendly. Groups of friends and families with children are both common here. That makes it an easy choice for a no-fuss meal after a day out.

Good to know before you go

• Call the restaurant to book or to check details, especially for a big group.
• It is a good fit for families with children.
• Pork appears in several dishes, including the pulled pork chimichanga and the bacon-wrapped culaican, so ask the staff if you avoid it.
• Choose between indoor and outdoor seating when you book.
