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!
