Heather and Mark Nehlich have been familiar faces in the Coeur d’Alene area for a while, and when they opened the Oh Baby! Food Truck on October 3, 2022 with partner and Seattle restauranteur Stan Moshier, they had a lot of support. The big teal truck graced the Silver Lake Mall parking lot serving scrumptious Tex-Mex BBQ until August of this year when it tucked its big self into the back of Chalice Brewing in downtown CDA.
While I’ve been a long-time fan of their quesadillas, birria tacos, and O.G. Taco with their melt-in-your-mouth pork belly (best breakfast taco, anyone?!), I have been excited to explore more of their new menu. The most notable addition has to be Crunchwraps, stuffed with their smoked meats, made-from-scratch sauces and so much crunchy flavor. I have also grown quite fond of their BBQ Pork Taco—also known off-menu as the “Pickle Taco.” The crispy cheese layer adds a nice crunch to the smoky pork, coleslaw, pickles and sauce.
Can’t decide on a taco? Get a “Fistfull” of three tacos for $12, Chef’s choice. Their burritos provide enough food for two meals—or to share! And, when they have it, you have to try the birria ramen. Oh, baby, seriously!
Located through the back door of Chalice, right on Sherman Avenue, or off the alley behind, this is the perfect place to grab a bite (and a pint!) post Tubbs Hill hike, beach swim, or Higgin’s Point bike ride. Find more at Ohbabyfoodtruck.com | @ohbabyfoodtruck.
