About Cha Chi's Mexican Cantina

Generous combo platters, icy margaritas, and a charming little footbridge over an indoor fountain make this Glenunga cantina an easy family win. Glenunga regulars head past the timber entryway for hefty plates piled high with beef flautas, enchiladas, and house combos. The kitchen handles vegetarian and dietary substitutions without a hitch, while toddlers get their own menu staples and crunchy bowls of chips. Tables fill up with shared fajitas and cold Mexican punch before wrapping up over plates of chocolate nachos.

  • Indoor bridge entrance: A decorative footbridge crosses an indoor water fountain right at the entrance, setting a playful tone before you hit the dining room.
  • Abundant cantina combos: Hefty servings anchor the menu, from stacked enchiladas and sizzling platters to crisp flautas and jalapeño poppers.
  • Chocolate nachos: A signature dessert course of chocolate nachos caps off shared dinners.
