Cha Cha Chicken is a hoot. This kitsch Caribbean hut does fried bird any which way, with a special emphasis on coconut chicken. Located close to the Santa Monica Pier, the super relaxed vibe along with BYOB and outdoor seating makes this place a great way to start an evening out with larger groups.
