La Carta de Oaxaca

I may be the last person in Seattle to eat at La Carta de Oaxaca (sister restaurant to the newer Mezcalaria Oaxaca), but I'd say it was well worth the wait.  I had always been deterred by the long wait times, but Friday night, David and I barely had taken a sip of our drinks at the bar before being escorted to our table.  David insisted I ordered something other than tacos (my absolute favorite) so after much consideration, I settled on the House Specialty, Mole Negro Oaxaqueno with pork.  The mole sauce was out of this world delicious, and paired with chips and fresh guac, not to mention a perfectly mixed margarita, I was a very happy lady.  If you find yourself wandering around Ballard searching for an inexpensive but delicious meal, I'd highly recommend La Carta de Oaxaca.  It's definitely worth the wait :)
