"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.

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.

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.

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!
