Where's Cha Cha?

Do you watch The Great Food Truck Race on the Food Network?  I watched the first season and this Sunday night is the finale of the second season.  After seeing the awesome food that these trucks can put out, I started to look for food trucks in St. Louis and I was surprised to see that there are quite a few.

Once I found all of these food trucks, an obsession started.  Since I live out in the suburbs I haven't been able to actually be in the same location as these trucks during their day-to-day stops but I still check everyday on Twitter just waiting to see where they are.

One truck, in particular, really caught my attention with its menu a while back and I have followed and Tweeted them ever since.  

Well, today was my lucky day because the Where's Cha Cha? truck was at a private event and it was literally 2.8 miles from my house.  I hadn't checked Twitter in a bit so when I got a Tweet from my friend, Kevin, telling me that Where's Cha Cha? was right by my house I was ecstatic.  I threw the kids in the car and off I went.

 

When I walked up to the truck, I introduced myself and to my surprise they recognized me from Twitter.  LOL  I was literally jumping up and down for joy that I was finally going to be able to eat some of their amazing food.

Here was the menu today.

Today's special was a Shrimp Tostada and I ordered a side of fiesta Corn Salad.  It was so fantastic.  I can't even tell you how good  Cha Cha sauce is.  There is a hint of spice and a hint of smokey and a whole lot of flavor.  The Fiesta Corn Salad is a cold salad with cilantro, pepper, and seasonings.  Both were outstanding!

I also got the Beef Spare Rib taco and they threw in some french fries for Caleb and Grace.  This meat was so tender paired with the crunchiness of the Cilantro-Lime.  I loved this, too!  These fries were sprinkled with seasoned salt and cumin and I'm sure some other spices, too, and they were awesome. 

When I heard that Where's Cha Cha? was out by our house, I immediately texted and Tweeted Scott and told him so he headed out there, too, and ordered a BBQ Pork, a Baja Chicken, and a Beef Spare Ribtaco with fries.  He loved them all and said that his favorite was the chicken taco.

 And, he brought me back a Lentil Taco.  That had corn and the crunch slaw.  It was fantastic, too.

That's right, folks, today for lunch I ate a shrimp tostada, beef spare rib taco, fiesta corn salad, some fries, and then a lentil taco and washed it down with a blackberry lemonade.  I haven't eaten like that in forever but it was so worth it!

To most people eating from a food truck may be an everyday occurrence but, for me, this was a treat and a great day!
