Fonda Oaxaqueña translates to "a small eatery specializing in Oaxacan-style fare". Oaxaca is a…read morestate in southern Mexico with its roots in Zapotec and Mixtec culture. "Mole negro" is the regional specialty of the Zapotecs and the signature dish at Fonda Oaxaqueña. The sauce gets its blackened color from the charred chilies and seeds from which it is ground. Add to that the chocolate, nuts and spices of later Spanish influence , and you have a sauce that is unique to this restaurant. I had Enchiladas Oaxaqueñas this evening (see the menu)--chicken with mole negro, garnished in cilantro, onion, radish, and queso fresco. If you're a fan of mole negro, this is the best in Wenatchee! ...definitely 5-Stars.

Chips were crispy and flavorful, salsa was tasty but not spicy; a spicier option would be nice. The meat was tender and juicy, but next time I'd ask for medium-well or well-done. Shrimp were a good size but needed more cooking to bring out the garlic flavor. Refried beans were good, but the rice was too oily and off-tasting. Handmade tortillas lacked consistency in size and thickness. Least favorite part: a tiny portion of lettuce and an unappetizing scoop of "guacamole." Would've preferred they left it off. Overall, it was good, but next time, I'll try something different.

Portions are huge, service was excellent and swift, and food flavor was 9/10. Staff was friendly and everyone looked like they were having a good time. Many guests were recognized by staff. Seems like a nice family friendly atmosphere. By the time we left, parking was overflowing and line was out the door. This is a local hot spot and I'm glad we checked it out. Bathroom was clean too.

I stopped on Wednesday Oct 9th, 2024 for a quick snack--I hadn't eaten all day, but didn't want to…read moreruin my upcoming dinner. Well forget that (sorry Sweetheart). The little snack was Taqueria's "Quesabirria"--sort of a taco on steroids! The Quesbirria amounts to a corn tortilla sandwich filled with cheese and beef brisket. It is served with a soufflé cup of consumé for dipping (think French dip beef au Jus)! See the pics. I swear, the consumé could be a meal in itself (maybe it is, I'll have to check the menu next time). I watched the kitchen chef ladle the consumé out of a huge caldron on the back burner, fill the foam cup and snap a lid on it. I had no idea that was going to be such a highlight of my to-go order. The corn tortilla was folded over in half like a quesadilla, but the meat filling was huge, more-so than the cheese. And the tortilla itself was supple--wet from dipping in the consumé--I think. The bbq'd taste of brisket, slow-roasted in onions and cilantro, took the flavor profile of the Quesabirria over-the-top of anything you would expect of a quesadilla pretending to be a taco. And as if that wasn't enough, the entry consists of TWO Quesabirrias with another soufflé cup of hot sauce. So here's what I did: I took a bite of the Quesadilla, sipped a small amount of consumé, then took another sip of hot sauce. I was able to make the consumé and the not sauce last through both Quesabirrias. Ask me if I'm ever coming back here again! HA! Taqueria la Cihualteca has won me over! I wish they had Tecati, but I'll settle for Modelo!

The main salon has opened up with the central wall removed and booths turned into tables and chairs. Very nice art on the walls, and excellent lighting, create a very inviting, warm atmosphere. The back wall of the restaurant is now a fully visible open bar with every drink you can imagine. I settled for the Michelada (the Hispanic version of a Bloody Mary with beer, not vodka-- absolutely delicious!) I had the chicken enchiladas with rice and beans, and I took shrimp in garlic butter sauce home to Sherrie-- my dish is shown. The red enchilada sauce was really excellent-- it made the dish! And the rice and beans were hands-down better than anywhere in Wenatchee. I posted photos of the menu, I hope that helps. They clearly have many more food options than the other photos imply. Search the menus and you'll find something you like-- including steak and seafood. I was told the owners are from the coastal area of Mexico and the menu options reflect that. What's not to like? 5-Stars!

When traveling this is usually a problem. 4 basic carne asada tacos were perfect little street tacos, although my husband then wanted more afterwards it was enough food with the free chips and salsa. They gave us 3 types of salsa. 1 was to bland for us, I loved the verde and my husband loved the spicy red roja. Seems like something for everyone! I had the pork, el pastor, quesadilla and the pastor's sauce really just made this perfect once I removed the lettuce, sour cream and guacamole that I asked for, because I don't like it on top, added my green salsa and ate it with chips!
