Caadxi Oaxaca

The food at this Mexican restaurant is fantastic! One of the highlights is their homemade salsa and chili sauce—both are full of flavor and really elevate the meal. You can tell everything is made with care and authentic ingredients. It’s a great spot for a satisfying and flavorful meal. I’ll definitely be coming back!

I called about an hour ahead for a party of 8 on a Saturday night. Thankfully they made it work for us despite the restaurant being packed. Everyone was very happy with their food and drinks. The team made it a fun, lively, and it a special evening for the birthday boy. Honorable mentions were the chapulines (with the lime squeezed over - yum!), red pazole, and the barabacoa. We will be coming back again for sure! UPDATE: We have been back several times in the last few months and it continues to be great food! HIGHLY recommend the ceviche, I have ordered it 3x as my entree because it is a good portion and delicious. Perfect for a hot afternoon with a drink. The only thing that I feel has lacked since our first visit is the service - specifically when sitting outside in their patio section. Sometimes I find myself wondering if I have been forgotten about a little bit. I will still come back but maybe just sit inside.

My sister and I shared guacamole, chips, and the restaurant's signature appetizer: sopitos oaxaquenos. That was plenty to fill us up, and it was delicious! Neither of us had ever tried anything like the sopitos before, and we both loved them. The service was great, and there was dining available inside and out.

Fantastic and wonderfully prepared food. This was our second time here, but the last time was more than 5 years ago, located in old Snoqualmie, right across from the train station. We started with chips and guacamole, salsa was not provided, until we learned they have a salsa station where you can serve yourself, the green is hot, red mild, and there is pico de Gallo. We ordered an appetizer, the Enmoladas which were flavorful and delightful. I had the carne a la Mexicana, which is sauteed flank steak which had a wonderful flavor, highly recommend this dish. My wife had Molotes which is potatoes and chorizo wrapped in a crispy tortilla. My friend had Tamale de Mole which is a chicken tamale wrapped in a banana leaf. All the food was fantastic, I felt the prices were higher than other Mexican restaurants, but the authenticity and flavor profiles certainly sets this place apart.

I’ve been living in Seattle for three years, and with all due respect to the many Mexican food spots around, I had never tasted anything as authentic and true to the flavors of Mexico as this small, cozy place I found in Snoqualmie, Washington. I had the pleasure of trying enfrijoladas with a fried egg, tamales wrapped in banana leaves, red mole, black mole, plantain sopes with homemade red mole, pozole, café de olla, and a tres leches cake that perfectly rounded out an unforgettable culinary experience. I’m not exaggerating when I say this place is a little piece of Mexico brought all the way up here. From the very first bite, the flavors transport you to a roadside eatery in southern Mexico—the kind where truck drivers stop for a comforting home-style meal. SOUTHERN MEXICANS WILL KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN. The atmosphere is warm and familiar, and the service makes you feel right at home. The owners are proudly Oaxacan, and you can taste it in every detail: the seasoning, the ingredients, and the unwavering respect for their culinary heritage. I’ll never forget what the kind waitress told me when I asked her what the secret was behind such authentic flavor: “We’ve been doing this for 20 years, and I think the secret is that we don’t change our sauces to please tastes. The idea is for people to get to know the true flavors of Oaxaca.” And that’s exactly how it should be. Mexicans preserving their culture, even far from home. That, without a doubt, is the key to success. I wholeheartedly recommend this place. If you want to experience the true taste of Oaxaca without leaving Washington, this is where you need to go.

As for food, it was middle of the road. I just looked at the menu again (8 hours later). Looking back at the picture of my enchilada, I realized that they only gave me ONE enchilada. The menu says TWO (see the pic). Overall, it looked like Mexican food, but I don’t think there was anything special about the flavoring itself. The taco fritos (taquitos) weren’t flavorful, I found myself adding LOTS of salsa to give it some flavor. Also, we ordered it as an appetizer and it came with the meal. Not sure how to explain the place. Everything was mediocre. It really wasn’t THAT busy in town. There wasn’t a wait for seating. The staff seemed bothered and uninterested (or unengaged). We had to ask after our meals were delivered to get napkins and silverware. They were attentive at our water levels, but that’s it. There’s gotta be better in town. I don’t see how it gets high ratings.

Just ate at this cute little Mexican restaurant and I’m seriously impressed! It’s a small, quaint place with a cozy vibe, and the staff were super friendly and on top of everything. Our server was really attentive without being overbearing, and you could tell the whole team was working together to keep things running smoothly. They were constantly pre-bussing tables, which made a huge difference—we didn’t have to wait long at all, even though the place was busy. Everything felt clean, organized, and well-managed. Plus, the food was so good. Definitely coming back!

The food here was ok. I ordered enchiladas which came out in crispy thin tortillas almost like taquitos with enchilada sauce on them. Also, my personal preference when eating Mexican is Spanish rice, not white rice.

This is a cute, small restaurant near the falls. Indoor and outdoor seating. The options are good, the food is traditional tasting. They have a good choice of alcohol and the waiter is quiet but attentive. Everyone was nice. The carne Adams was tender and well made, will definitely revisit if in the area again.

Went here with my wife this past weekend as I was really excited by the reviews and food pictures. The food definitely matches the pictures shown but we both found the food sort of without flavor. It wasn't bad by any stretch but having been to mexico many times in my life, I was surprised it was missing such fun and colorful flavor By far the biggest downside for the restaurant is the service. We were never checked on or asked how we enjoyed the meal, we were sat at a table by ourselves in the middle of the restaurant with the sun going right at my face, and at one point I was even accused (maybe teased?) about spilling a bunch of crumbs on the floor. Uh... the crumbs were on the chair at the table next to me? Just really weird service.

This Mexican joint is just a quick drive from Snoqualmie Falls. Inside's cozy and they've got covered outdoor seating too. Friendly and attentive staff. Empanadas? Skip 'em. They're more like filled tortillas. Stick to guac and chips. For our table, we also ordered some tacos, chilaquiles, grasshoppers, and some drinks. The Al Pastor tacos - nothing to write home about; the chilaquiles were just okay - good portion size though; chapulines - nicely seasoned if you can get over the mental block. The salsa bar didn't offer much variety this time, but the green salsa definitely brought the heat, while the pico de gallo stayed fresh and flavorful. Their drinks were winners - Jamaica drink was refreshing, and so were the mezcals and margaritas! Food's hit or miss, but worth a visit if you're in the mood for Mexican without breaking the bank. Do note - They have a 3% convenience charge for credit card

Tacos were pretty good, the meat is the star, as it should be and was well prepared ; rice and beans were also high up there in quality. The tamale was decent. We got the molletes off the recommendation of a friend, but they were a miss for us. Ambiance was as expected and I liked the salsa bar.. the service though, was fast food like. There was no real talking or banter, I have absolutely no impression to give on the server. It seemed like a turn and burn kind of establishment.

The chips are thick and crispy and the salsa bar has bomb salsas. Guacamole ($7) was creamy and delicious. We got the street tacos ($12 for Al Pastor, $12.50 for Carne Asada) that came with 3 tacos and a sizeable amount of filling. They hit the spot but I'm don't think it's their specialty. I'd get the mole if I came back since other patrons ordered that and it looked amazing. Polite, attentive staff.

Visited right before closing on a Saturday night, and they were absolutely packed! They were able to seat all of us within about 10 minutes. I enjoyed the enmoladas but found the chicken to be dry. The theme for all the dishes my friends ordered was bland.

Authentic & simple Southern Mexican food for a mid range price Everything was fresh and homemade! Decent sized portions. Very simple, you get what you get! Nothing fancy or Americanized about it. The mole sauce was the best item flavor wise. Inside there's a good amount of seating, a little bar space, and a tiny salsa bar. Outside covered/heated seating too! Located on the main Snoqualmie strip, 5 minute drive from Snoqualmie falls. Plenty of parking around. Accept tap/Apple Pay (card & cash too ofc) and were able to split our checks easily. Nice and easy stop, nothing to call home about, but conveniently located, has something for everyone, & would come again.

Service seemed really really slow for what we got. Like an hour long wait when they were at half capacity... for an order of nachos and three enchilada smothered in mole. I got the pollo enchiladas in mole. The chicken inside tasted like it had been boiled in water and shredded. No spices or anything. The amount of salt I had to add was pretty ridiculous. The mole was tasty! I liked it enough to bump the review from two to three stars. The nachos were soggy within 5 minutes of getting to the table. Like having to use a fork to eat them soggy :( The horchata was pretty obviously a mix from the fact that it was all at the bottom of the glass and we had to mix it up ourselves... For the price, quality, and time commitment - I'd definitely recommend somewhere else.

We ended up here after an afternoon at Snoqualmie Falls. Wife and I love Oaxacan food, so what a treat to get to introduce my brother, and he was not disappointed. We sat outside and the service was very quick, attentive, and helpful. Sitting outside was nice with the mild weather, and we found a froggy sitting on the plant next to our table! I got enfrijoladas. They were very good, and the asada was perfect. I only wish the beans were a bit less watery. I like when they're more sticky. My brother got the enmoladas and loved it. Great flavor, and the mole was spot on. Wife got costillas en salsa verde and they were amazing. The meat was cooked perfectly, and the salsa was so flavorful, bright, and fresh. Great rice and beans. Honestly the appetizer flautas we got were meh - I'd say get something else unless you really need flautas haha. Would definitely love to eat here again. The menu was diverse and there were a lot of tempting items.

How does this have 4.3 stars? That got us. The ambience is nice, and service is polite but it ends there. They don't seem to care about customers. Not reviewing the alcohol, but the horchata was blah. Ordered enchiladas and the server was positive the red sauce was better. Quite tasteless and may have added food color. Chicken was dry and chewy and even the tortilla. Rice did not have lime or herbs. Our other order, veggie burrito, was also tasteless and bad. Food presentation was fancy but it's gotta taste good too. Prices are high. Not worth returning.

Checked out Caadxi Oaxaca - a cozy spot with a bar for lunch on a weekend. The vibe was lively, but a bit too loud. Our server was friendly, but her voice got lost in the noise. Loved the option for sides - perfect for trying different things without committing to a full dish. We tried empanadas fritas, Tamale, Chili Releno, and an egg and beans dish. My top pick? The Chili Releno - absolutely delicious! Everything else was a hit too, and let's not forget the Margarita. Definitely coming back for more.

So strange to find out I've never written a review for this wonderful restaurant, despite hitting it up so many times with family over the years. It's almost a go-to when we're in the general area. Food is a really good value - and a nice change of pace from over-Americanized Mexican offerings. It's also nice to see the basics like horchata (with refills), and a decent pozole or albondigas soups, when I'm in a comfort food sort of mood. And their tres leches - my goodness! Perfection.

My family went to eat dinner here, excited to find our go to Mexican restaurant in our new town. I was so disappointed in the food. The service was excellent, I took no issue with that. I personally ordered Horchata and Enfrijoladas. While we waited we were served tortilla chips and very watery salsa. The Horchata was too sweet and no cinnamon flavor to be tasted leading me to believe that this was made from a mix. Even my 6 year old said it didn't taste like Horchata. For my food, the Pork Chop that came with it tasted good, perfectly cooked and excellent presentation. But for the rest of the plate, which was the main/majority of the plate, it was very bland and tasteless. I took one bite and I couldn't go any further. I felt terrible when the waitress asked if she could pack it up but I had to refuse. My 18 y/o had the same problem with her Carne Asada tacos. As far as the atmosphere for this place, it does feel warm and cozy as if you're in a small village cantina with really nice ladies and gentleman serving you. They also offer a salsa bar.

Oh boy, oh boy. This is a very good Mexican restaurant. Their specialty is Oaxacan region. We felt as if we were there. Music is 90s-early 2000s mexican rock. Ambiance is very family friendly. There are spots outside too. Heaters for winter :) Staff is fast, friendly and really helpful. I wanted one more nanche (mexican tiny fruit) on my drink and cream for my mole and they gladly help. Mezcal drinks are really good but our favourite was the special margarita. We ordered tostadas, sopitos (small sopes with beans and plantain yummy!), enmoladas, mole tamal, the mango sorbet, flan, and tacos. Everything was wonderful! Plenty on your dish. We had to get some back home. We've come back and it has been always a positive experience. They are open since 11.30am and they have people at that time, and some orders to go. They have parking lot but there are more spots by the train station and another parking lot.

Reading through the reviews and only seeing opinions about the guacamole and chips was a concern for me but I've been wanting to try this place for a while. The carne asada street tacos were pretty good but really helps to pour their salsa all over it and add some of their roasted jalapeños. I did yearn for more salt on the guacamole and tacos though. To be fair, I don't know enough about what the flavors should be like. I'll probably go back to try other dishes though.

Very nice outdoor seating and great service. The food was good, though we thought everything needed more flavor. Except all the salsas in the salsa bar - they were all great! Nice homemade chips (at least tasted that way). I had the shrimp cheviche. Nice presentation and lots of shrimp. Needed some lime or something to wake it up. My other had the chicken mole. Had nice flavor but a little bland. A friend reported really liking the chicken enchiladas. Would go again and try something different. Nice to have a pretty good Mexican place in Snoqualmie.

The actual prices are significantly hire than what's listed on website. Also, chips are not free -- they're $8. The guacamole is extremely cold and molded into a half circle (seemed frozen not fresh) and one appetizer lists a black bean and pork sofrito but there was no pork and no sofrito. One chicken mole, one appetizer, chips and guacamole and one beer = $69. Wanted to support a family business but was disappointed.

Drove a bit to check out this place for lunch after seeing the yelp reviews. The place is nice and the interiors have cool Day of the Dead statues and decorations. That heightened my expectation about the food. My wife and I ordered the Tamale de Mole and Tamale de Amarillo, both chicken. The food arrived within a few minutes freshly prepared. The taste was not up to par though. I've been to quite a few Mexican restaurants, this one just tasted a bit off. Maybe it's authentic Oaxacan food, but it just didn't appeal to my palate. The banana leaf flavor plus the mole sauce made the tamale taste unappetizing. Not to mention the server maybe checked on us just once despite it being not that busy. Plus the salsa and Pico de Gallo cost extra according to a sign posted there (if it was free, it was never mentioned to us). I know the pandemic has affected restaurants, but c'mon man, at least you could give a small side of chips and salsa with each order.

After a rainy hike this was perfect place to warm up. I'm gluten free and the menu had several options. No headache or stomach troubles after. Everything tasted amazing. The vibe was really friendly with great service. Will definitely visit after hiking in area again.

Growing up with my mothers cooking whom actually comes from Oaxaca, I can say with certainty that this establishment is authentic. Among the dishes we ordered, we got the Posolé, barbaqoa, chilaquiles, the grasshoppers, Al pastor tacos, melmelitas, Jamaica drink, and the hot chocolate. All of these dishes were delicious and rooted in the dishes I grew up with. I would recommend this place if you are looking for true Oaxacan experience!

It's not everyday you find a Oaxacan restaurant, especially after taking in the beautiful views of the Snoqualmie Falls. As soon as we saw grasshoppers on the menu, we knew we had to order it and it was phenomenal. Don't let it freak you out - it's crispy and the seasoning is super delicious (citrusy + slightly spicy). The tacos with carne asada were pretty standard, while the mole sauce on the enmoladas and the mole rojo dishes were quite interesting - smoky, nutty taste. The shrimp were plump, juicy and very tasty. The coffee came in a cute clay mug and had a slight hint of cinnamon. After eating, I recommend visiting the train museum and having some ice cream at Snoqualmie's Ice Cream.

Food tacos and tortillas were heated in the microwave. 3 for $12.50 should have been $6.00, certainly not worth $4 each. Chips to thick, with guacamole not worth $7. Don't bother, you'll be happier looking elsewhere.

This place was unexpectedly delicious. Who knew a little Oaxacan place in North Bend would be so good? The food was fresh and delicious and very well cooked. I had the chili relleno which was fantastic, and came with really good corn tortillas, beans, and rice. I also had a mojito. Portion sizes were perfect, not too ginormous. The staff was very polite and friendly.

Came in during lunch time after a stroll along the river. Ordered the Molé, Barbacoa de Borrego, pork chile verde, chicken torta, and Asada/ pastor tacos. Everything was delicious. The chips and salsa were very flavorful and fresh because it was homemade and perfectly salted. Best part was the coconut sorbet and my rack of lamb (Borrego). Horchata was ALSO homemade (you get 1 free refill, so I had to get ANOTHER order because it was THAT good).

The food was as bland as it could get. Perhaps that's what Oaxacan food like ??? I don't know but nothing close to the Mexican Mexican food. I ordered the fried tortilla and was looking forward to it but it was rolled in literally nothing but boiled chicken. And the chicken was rubbery as I chewed. I will skip this here after.

Being Hispanic and rarely finding authentic Mexican food in Washington, this place is by far is really good ! The food is VERY authentic and so delicious. The service was quick and great! I ordered the horchata with Mole Rojo, soo gooodd! Really reminded me of my grandma's mole. & the horchata is very refreshing and free refills! I got one to-go haha! Definitely going to be coming back a lot. A MUST TRY.

Let me first off say I currently live in Los Angeles, like born there. I'm visiting snoqualmie and my friend says let's try this place Caadxi Oaxaca I said absolutely not. Im not super picky but I'm not about to have mexican food in this one horse town. I've had mexican food in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and I'm not trying to eat that above the 45 parallel. Well we pulled up Friday night, line literally out the door. The smell and plates passing me I was like what?!! This place could easily contend with any of the best places where I live. Tacos al pastor, chili relleno even the salsa was spicy!! So surprised. The menu was big with all the usual suspects. Chips and guac was fresh and perfect. Staff hustled, very friendly. Outdoor seating was lit beautifully. Nice place

Best Mexican I've ate in Washington state ! I've been to probably 10 Mexican restaurants in Washington and this one was the best

Very authentic Mexican food. Popular place, get there early! Great salsa bar to load up on pico and your favorite hot sauces.

I wasn't expecting such good Mexican food in Washington. The servings were generous and the taste was fresh. I don't know if it was "authentic" but my husband from San Diego couldn't stop raving about how good it was. I'm not sure why their corn tortilla tasted so good. It was fine, I thought it was flour tortilla. My only complaint is that everything was spicy (but so tasty that I couldn't stop eating)

My first time here and I loved the vibe of the restaurant! Small and cozy; felt like a great spot for date night and I saw a few happening too I think. The cocktails looked beautiful coming out from the bar, although I didn't have one myself. I tried the chipolines (grasshoppers) for the first time - it's a new food to me and I was excited to try! Delicious and amazing flavor with great spice levels, although it was hard for me to get past the mental block that it was grasshoppers lol. The entomatadas dish was delicious too - the steak was perfect. Overall 10/10, I really enjoyed the food here and service was quick and friendly! Bathrooms also have changing tables for your little ones.

The food is good quality and service is great! Seating is a little tight, but worth coming back to repeatedly.

One of the best Mexican food places in the greater Seattle area. Homemade tortillas, yummy carne asada tacos, salsa bar. A la familia le encantó.

Honestly not sure how this place gets as many stars as it does. We tried it today for lunch based on the great reviews. Three stars is generous. I want to give Caadxi Oaxaca the benefit of the doubt. The chips were good. Probably the best part of our meal. Oh, and the table salt is premium. I know this because EVERYTHING needed salt. One of the worst things I think one can do in a review of a Mexican restaurant is use the word 'bland.' But that is the best adjective to describe everything we had - bland. I hate spending money on mediocre food. Granted, the ingredients for everything were clearly fresh; but the execution of everything was mediocre. Later in the day, we passed a fast-food taqueria type place - I wish we'd gone there for lunch. We won't be going back the next time we're around Snoqualmie.

Forgot our order! We made it through our chips and drinks and waited while they brought our food for people that arrived after us. Finally our server came over and asked if we wanted dessert. We hadn't even eaten yet. She went back inside and after twenty minutes I went inside and asked if they forgot our order. The manager came out and apologized for the hour wait and said it was coming up and that the people who got to the restaurant after use had "easier" orders. We ordered fish tacos. When our food came we asked for a side of sour cream. Never came. The Manager came out again, we mentioned the side. She left to go get it and never came back. What a disaster

Restaurant is very small and food is not exceptional. The servers don't act very professional or helpful, and the food was bland both times we went. Can't recommend.

How is it possible that after visiting Snoqualmie Falls and Snoqualmie downtown so, so many times that I am just now eating at Caadxi Oaxaca?!? This place might become my must-go during future visits. The food: Camarones Oaxaquena, $19 - 5 Stars Menu: Sauteed prawns, onions, garlic, mushrooms in a spicy salsa served with rice So, so good! I love a spicy tomato sauce, and this is great. Serving size was plentiful considering I was also eating too many tortilla chips. I took home leftovers. Mole Rojo Chicken, $17 - 5 Stars Menu: The house specialty, homemade rich mole rojo with tender chicken or pork, served with rice & tortillas My hubby is not a big mole fan but decided to order it since it's the house specialty. Zero regrets. It was delicious! Mexican Hot Chocolate, $4 - 5 Stars Velvety rich, this was a hit. We shared just one cup because it was so rich. Tortilla Chips & Guacamole, $6.50 - 5+ Stars The server said they don't give table tortilla chips, and suggested we order the chips & guac. So, so glad we did. The chips are so incredibly, freshly fried. They just might be the best I've ever had. The guac is of course excellent, too. Salsa, including pico de gallo, are self-served at the salsa station. Service is swift and sufficiently friendly. Let's face it, they can tell we're not locals. Servers showed up to take order, deliver food, and bring the check. The end. Not a whole lot of chit-chat. I'm ok with that. I don't mind being left alone to eat. They have a small parking lot; street parking is nonetheless more than plentiful. Visited in November 2021

Amazing place. Tacos de pescado are the best I've had. Great service. Try to make it here every few weeks.

Our group had a chicken and cheese quesadilla, carne asada tacos, and a specialty dish. All three were on the bland side. The chips and guacamole and salsa bar were a nice touch. Good service, attentive and quick.

Holy Mole!!! The Mole Rojo is AMAZING!!! Get. It!!! We ordered it with the pork and fell off the bone We also ordered the Tacos Fritos - SKIP!!! They were SO dry We also ordered the Memelas and they were decent but not convinced I'd recommend them. Get the mole or bust!!!

So glad we found this place. We are from So Cal and miss good Mexican food when we are away. There is an excellent salsa bar, and the Mezcal cocktail is super good. The pork ribs and birria were delicious.

I was very upset with this business. So much so that I could not properly enjoy my food. The guacamole and chips was 7$ which would have been fine , except the guacamole portion was super small and it was spicy. They put jalapeño in the guacamole. When I asked if they had guacamole that was not spicy they informed me that they could not make different guacamole. I've never seen a place that claims to make home cooked meals not be able to mash together some extra avocados. That being said, they wanted to charge us for asking for more than two tortillas. Tortillas ! My father in law said his food was very tough and hard to eat. I think The food was okay. We won't be returning!

The food was pretty good but I ordered a carne asada for takeout and they gave me a 3 ounce piece of meat. With equally small bean and rice proportions.

A homey Mexican restaurant. Really good Mexican food - not like those typical super heavy and greasy big meals. Perfect portion size. We got Enchiladas, Sopitos Oaxaquesnos (I just call it SO going forward) & Enmoladas. Highly recommend the delicious SO for appetizer. The fried plantain chips w guacamole and mole sauce tasted great together. I tried my hubby's Enmoladas and liked it. The sauce was so yummy. Overall, we recommend this place if you are in the area.

Are here today in Snoqualmie. It is Sunday and 230pm and it is packed. Staff are very courteous and place is small but good looking ambience. It was so hot since aircon are not enougj in this summer. Food was not so good and would rate them average. Servings are quite small vs price. May not comeback.

Food was good. Fabulous chips, salsa bar, and guacamole... mole was sweeter than we expected but still yummy. Service was very attentive. They have a nice outdoor patio out front. Casual.

After visiting Snoqualmie Falls and still having a ways to go before our dinner reservation, my wife and I found ourselves hungry. My wife searched through Yelp to find something in the area and came across this place. It had good reviews so off we went. In short, we were incredibly satisfied with our meal here. I ordered the spicy pork tacos and unlike just about every spicy pork I ever had, it ACTUALLY had some spice to it. The meat was full of flavor and perfectly cooked. My wife got the fish tacos and she stated the same about hers. Both of our dishes were perfect in every way. If you're in the area and want to eat some great food (specifically the tacos), head over to this place.

Yummy food and excellent service! Got the chips and guacamole and tostadas with a side of mole. The guacamole needed salt but everything else was very flavorsome and really enjoyable. The side of mole took everything to the next level of deliciousness. Also got the margarita which was really really delicious. The staff here is really a friendly and service was on point.

Delicious tacos. Very flavorful make chicken- loved the sauce. Also really liked the salsa bar! Delicious hand made tortillas
