This post should be called EL MULCAJETE, instead of Cha Cha Cha.
El Mulcajete is a special that Cha Cha Cha was serving over the summer for a limited amount of time. However, when we last went there and it wasn’t listed on their Specials board menu, we asked them if they could make it and they did!!!!
Thanks for the tip, Katie!
What we ordered: El Mucajete: mixed together beef, onions and peppers (kind of like fajita mix)
How we ordered it: As is. Though next time we will order with no cheese.
What we got:
El Mulcajete
a half eaten Mulcajete
Cost: $10
Quality: Painted Hills Beef - pretty darn good for local meat. Unfortunately not grass-fed 
Quantity: It’s a good portion size for a single person. Though the serving bowl makes it look bigger than it really is.
MEAT-O-METER says!
There they are!!! That’s what was missing before 
El mulcajete (pronounced: mulkahete-ay) is awesome if you want something pretty clean. Make sure you ask for no cheese. They will give you tortillas on the side, so you can also tell them that you do not need any tortillas as well. They do give you a small size of guacamole, which is a nice touch. Would be nicer if it was bigger, but all in all, this dish is a great paleo meal if you don’t feel like cooking. I’m pretty sure all the Cha Cha Cha’s in Portland will serve El Mulcajete, but just in case you can always call ahead!
