I wanted a quick lunch and decided to try out La Carta de Oaxaca in Ballard. I heard they had really good tacos. We got lucky and found parking immediately right in front of the restaurant. (unheard of on a Saturday at noon!) However, there were no seats available so we had to put in a to go order. The menu wasn't too extensive, but I saw a few good options....I ended up ordering the BBQ Pork tacos.
The interior of this restaurant was cute. They had framed photos covering one wall, a small bar in the back and an open kitchen where you could see the cooks preparing the food.
After a 15 minute wait, we had a our food in hand and bill to pay. $7.00 for two tacos? Yikes! The to go package I was carrying was tiny. No chips and salsa. No other types sides. Nothing. Just two small tacos. Hmm...these better be the best tacos ever!
After getting home, I complained about the size once more before diving in....but I'll admit, they were good. They were damn good! Fine, fine...the next time I'm craving *good* tacos, I'll shut up and happily pay the $7.00 again.
