Cha Cha Coconuts

We had a wonderful time for a late lunch. I ordered the shrimp tostadas and my husband had the grouper sandwich with coleslaw, others ordered the Cuban sandwich with fries, and Jamaican jerk tacos. The Cuban sandwich had tough bread. We ordered the chocolate cake for dessert. Everything else was amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The slaw has wonderful fruity undertones. Very nice atmosphere and our server Valita, was so sweet. She knew the menu and answered all the questions we had.

I went a few weeks ago and as other reviewers have said the food is mid. We ordered the chicken quesadilla for an app and it was good. I then ordered the Cuban and let’s just say not was I was expecting and not in a good way. I did like the sweet potato fries as they were awesome with the apple butter. I wasn’t going to have dessert but the waitress said it was awesome and I love key lime pie. It was solid. I will say you don’t really stop here for the food, I enjoyed sitting outside by the sidewalk with an ice cold beer listening to the live music.

After spending a relaxing morning at Lido Key Beach, we walked over to Cha Cha Coconut for lunch. The weather was perfect, so we chose to sit outside and enjoy the laid-back island vibe. We started with the Coquina Beach Fruit Cobbler—a refreshing mix of strawberry purée, pineapple juice, fresh lime juice, and a splash of soda. Light, fruity, and just right for a warm afternoon.

My family went here on Christmas Day 2025. We were warmly greeted and sat at one of Heidi's tables. She is absolutely wonderful. I wore a Mele Kalikimaka santa hat and Heidi immediately connected with me on that with both of our history with Hawaii. It was nice to be treated with such wonderful Aloha spirit and kindness. My family was impressed with Cha Cha Coconuts and we were also obsessed with the delicious food. I highly recommend you check out Cha Cha Coconuts for not only the delicious food and tasty drinks but also the wonderful customer service. Try and sit in Heidi's section if you can, you will not be disappointed!

Pros: Good, unfussy food that’s approachable for the whole family. Great location with a relaxed vibe and live music. Perfect place to show up in flip-flops and dig into coconut shrimp.Not the spot if you’re looking for something upscale—there are plenty of higher-end options around St. Armands. Cons: no real cons here, drop in and give it a try.
