I think it’s fitting to celebrate life with food. So when my very good friends Mario and Maria, the most ridiculously cute couple I have the pleasure of knowing, wanted to take me to dinner to celebrate my Twenty-cough birthday I was ecstatic. When they told me they were taking me to Cha Cha Cha I was truly elated.

Cha Cha Cha is nestled in the artsy/hipster community of Silverlake. Its innovative Caribbean/South American fusion cuisine has made this family restaurant a beloved part of the neighborhood for over twenty years.
What gets me most of all is that Ruth Reichl, a culinary rock god in my eyes, gave it an absolutely rave review upon its inception.
So yes a very happy birthday to me!!!
Jerk Pork shredded pork tenderloin grilled with a spicy jamaican jerk sauce.
Banana Boats plantain boats filled with ground beef and vegetables served with pina salsa.
Yucca Con Ajo (Fried Yucca) fried yucca served with mucho garlic.
Black Bean Tamales sweet corn tamales with black beans, tomatillo salsa and golden caviar
On a hot sunny day in California, this sangria and some ceviche; it's like glimpsing heaven.
Mario admiring the menu.
Maria <3Good food and good friends I can’t think of a better way to celebrate being alive!
