La Carta de Oaxaca

Really good Mexican food in Ballard. Although I've never been to Mexico I really enjoyed my meal and the amount was just right. Also, the people were friendly and quick.

We showed up at this restaurant 20 minutes before it was to open and decided to walk around and come back after it opened. A women overheard us discussing this and said that if we came back when it opened we'd be at the end of a long line. So we came back in 5 minutes and found ourselves second in line behind a couple of former Minnesotans, who gave us all their strategies for beating the crowd at the restaurants and also gave us some real estate advice.
