Finally got to try this spot.I was hungry and did not want a burger or bagel.And oh my, the food was delicious!! I got the steak fajitas bowl and the horchata drink.Every bite went beyond my expectations.It had a homemade touch that I felt like my abuelita was cooking.I loved the salsas they def pack the heat and the ladies were beyond nice and courteous.Will be coming back for sure on my next flight out of PDX.
Food has the promise of being tasty...but the carnitas were drenched in grease and poorly trimmed.Huge chunks were inedible with fat, veins, and other sinew.We asked for no rice, extra beans...We got rice and beans.Chips were fine.Salsa was OK.The food must have somehow spilled in our bag between the counter and a table in the concourse because grease was soaked through immediately and it left a huge puddle on the table.Either that or the molten pig fat permeated the cardboard clamshel like it was tissue paper.No way to know without eating there again and with so many options at PDX that is unlikely to happen.Washed my hands up to the elbows to rid myself of the sheen of carnitas when I was done.Jay had stomache distress afterwards and wanted me to rate this even lower than I did.
I adore Cha Cha Cha! But my two airport Cha experiences were sub their normal standards.Delicious food as usual but the carnitas tacos were swimming in grease.I had to transfer the tacos to another plate and look what was underneath!
