Cha! Cha! Cha!

Cha! Cha! Cha! is a kinda authentic, kinda contrived little Mexican restaurant in the Pearl District of Portland.

There are a couple other links in the chain around Portland, including one downtown, on Hawthorne, in Sellwood, and on Belmont.








Their food is authentically Mexican, but also made with many local ingredients, and they keep with Portland tradition by being environmentally friendly!

I ordered chicken tamales with verde (that's "green" in Spanish, folks!) sauce.



This came topped with crumbly cheese. What Mexican dish would be complete without guava-flavored Jarritos soda?



"Um, none?" Would be the answer to that question.
