La Carta de Oaxaca is one of the few places to...

La Carta de Oaxaca is one of the few places to which I would possibly confer the phrase ‘authentic Mexican’. This is definitely not like eating in Oaxaca City’s market, but considering the 3000-mile gap, is gets fairly close. I love their pastor tacos because they are more Jalisco-style than what you usually get around the area (this is, the meat is juicier and has a lot more adobo sauce on it). Their mole is a trip back home to me, although if you’re serious about mole you might find it more Pueblan than Oaxacan. My suggestion, go there and try a little bit of everything! Buen provecho!

La Carta de Oaxaca (wahaka) is a great Mexican...

La Carta de Oaxaca (wahaka) is a great Mexican restaurant with good quality eats from the Oaxaca region of Mexico. The atmosphere is very charming with photographs and regional displays on the wall and the staff is friendly. Sitting at the counter is a great experience since you get to see your food being made.

Needless to say, the carne asada taco here is great! Some would say the best in Seattle. But what really makes this place special is the Mole which I hear is a Oaxaca specialty. It’s not for everyone, but the dish is definitely unique as it’s prepared with chocolate as one of the main ingredients.

So next time you’re in Ballard and you’re craving great Mexican food, try this joint.
