Casa Oaxaca

We had the carne asada fries as an appetizer and it was amazingggg and it made us so excited about the actual food and then the actual food came and it was just blahhh. It lacked flavor, and was just not it. The service was good and the server asked us if we didn't like the food because it was left untouched and we said yes but the food still showed up in our bill. So I was just confused.Would go there for appetizers and desert but not food.

Hola! Experiencia Maravillosa !Just 4 of our group of 6 were available tonight (8/2) and the 2 who missed it missed out. Jordyn served us well. We started with chips with 2 salsa , both special. Ginger beer, and margarita, other bebidas I waited knowing my meal would be good. I was hungry. There it is Enmoladas. Chicken stuffed tortilla with dark mole sauce. Ah, smoky, quietly spicy, and smooth with hint of chocolate. I'd like to kiss the chef.

The worst shoe leather carne asada I have ever had. We had one carne asada. One chips and Guac. 2 margaritas 70.00. An absolute waste waste of money for the absolute worst shoe leather ever. We will never be back and we are Edmonds people. Sorry Casa Oaxaca after I showed you what we never ate you did nothing.

Wow, so delicious!! Small place in a strip. Very friendly and helpful staff. Oaxaca-specific menu, and some things new to me. Chips came to the table drizzled with their mild red mole. My other had chicken tacos smothered in black mole and rice, and loved it. I had Tlayudas, and I picked the house-made chirozo for my meat (among the 6 or so options). It's a large crispy tortilla covered with black beans, meat, cabbage, avocado, and tomato, and served with a delicious salsa. Different from what I am familiar with, and crazy good. Can't wait to go back!!

This has become our go to spot, to walk to for dinner. The staff are so kind and friendly. My little girl is learning Spanish and she loves coming here, trying her best to communicate with them. The food is fantastic. The burritos are amazing and good sized. The fries app is now going to be difficult to beat. It's my most craved item, to order. Delicious meal all in itself, if that makes sense. Margaritas are tasty. This place has replaced our "local" fav that we use to visit weekly, as our favorite. Even the dessert (guava donuts) $5 are so incredible.

We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch here, the fajitas were delicious and we had enough for another meal the next day. Will definitely return

I was super blown away by how good this place was. The inside is small, but there's plenty of seating. The service was kind and quick. The food was excellent- they serve some of the best Oaxacan food. Everything we ate was amazing!!!

In short:The most-gourmet Mexican place I've visited. Dead serious. Killer spirits list, too. In long:No, I haven't tried Mexican places all over, and, no, none outside the U.S., either. But this is easily the most-impressive spot so far. I still love my taco shops/trucks, Mexican sports bars, and family-style places, and will keep hitting them and trying new ones. But this one is firmly in that #1 spot for pure food love.It's in an old strip mall at what used to be Five Corners. I guess it's still Five Corners, though the corners became a big roundabout some years ago. There's a super-hot place next door that gets packed (for very good reason), but even though we scored the last parking spot last night, there were still a couple tables open here. Not only is this now the spot I'll happily visit when I can't get a table next door, I'll be coming here first quite a bit, too.There are plenty of windows on two sides, giving it that nice bright corner-suite feel. The booths run back farther around the corner if you want a bit more privacy. You walk in past a decent-sized bar with an extremely-impressive selection of tequilas and mezcals. Service is warm and friendly from the second you set foot inside. The owner's on the floor working, wearing a house t-shirt like everyone else. We had waters and menus instantly, and drinks not long after that. They have over a dozen cocktails, heavily focused on mezcal, and over a dozen margs, too. We tried a tamarind marg, a taranjol (mezcal with grapefruit and Squirt...yes, Squirt), and a curacao mezcalita. The mezcalita was that cartoonish blue from the curacao, but it was shockingly delicious with the smokiness of the mezcal. I could very easily overdo it on cocktails here. I didn't even start messing with neat pours of the good stuff yet, either.Chips and guacYes, you have to pay for them here. They're amazing. Get them anyway. The chips themselves are fresh and light, though almost no place around makes their own tortillas to turn into chips, so I'd be shocked if they were 100% house-made. Warm, fresh-tasting, and crisp, though. Two good green salsas on the plate, plus a dish of excellent house-made guac. TlayudaWe had to Google this. A lot of American restaurants serve something that might look vaguely similar to this and call it "Mexican pizza," but it's just a passing resemblance. Yes, it's a large toasted tortilla laid flat, covered with stuff, and sliced into quarters. They offer it with your choice of meats, a couple of which are not on menus elsewhere around here AFAIK. We opted for the cecina, which is cured pork, and it is delectable. Some veg, some crema, some amazing orange salsa with a bit of warmth to the spices. Really good.Mole negroI ordered this with chicken, and it was fantastic. Two house-made chewy tortillas come with it, along with some rice with veg in it. Tons of sauce. Sweet, savory, irresistible. Black bean sauceThey kinda imply it's amazing by featuring it in lots of dishes. We ordered a cup on the side out of sheer curiosity, and immediately started combining it with bites of everything else. It's amazing--great texture, adds depth of flavor to everything. No clashing flavor profiles anywhere on the table.A childhood friend of mine saw photos I posted while we were eating, and chimed in to say that he's never been in a bad mood while eating Mexican food. I like that. This meal made me feel like I'd kinda lifted a veil from my eyes by trying new things. I want to keep coming back here until their food turns into comforting old favorites for me. Might not take long.

Food is spectacular, fresh ingredients with that authentic taste. Friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere, this is one of our favorite spots for sure!! Love it!

Menus limited. No substitutions. Ordered a cocktail, it was perfect, shift change occurred & order on more cocktail, this one was sooo sweet thought I'd have to see my dr for a diabetic screening! I got another drink that was good, got the bill, charged for 3! Neat huh, I will not be back, waitress tried justifying. I didn't argue. They lost a customer.
