Cha Cha's Tacos, Loma Linda, CA
Cha Cha's is a small stand in front of an RV park. The building is 50's or 60's brightly painted. There are tables around the outside to eat "in" if you wish. I am sticking to my carne asada taco and bean burrito order.
The menu offers a variety of tacos that I was expecting to be served taqueria style.
Carne Asada Taco $1.50
I was served a taco consisting of a large, thick corn tortilla. Inside the tortilla was some meat, lettuce,cheese, tomatoes and red cabbage. Appears to be a gringo version of a Mexican taco. The meat did not have the smoked,charbroiled flavor of carne asada and was a bit chewy. Cha Cha's skimps on the meat and lays on the lettuce heavy.
Bean and Cheese Burrito $3.50
The burrito was foil wrapped and of a good size. The flour tortilla was fresh and of a good texture. The beans were refried, fresh and had a good consistency. Not much cheese and no sauce on the burrito. Overall it tasted good but needed more cheese to get that burrito flavor cooking.
Overall seems like an North American take on Mexican dishes. Its nice to sit outside, enjoy your meal and watch the world go by.
Will be generous and give the taco and burrito two stars out of four.
