La Carta de Oaxaca will really clear your palate of Americanized Mexican food. These dishes are spicy, subtle, and light. Not to be missed by anyone who wants to keep track of the latest and greatest eateries in Seattle.\r

However, even at lunch this place is much too loud. Large parties, trendy parents with adorable kids running completely out of control, and everone bellowing to be heard over the deafeningly loud mariachi-style recorded music. Great food, but the only way I'll ever taste it again is if it's take out or if I wear noise-cancelling headphones. Not the place to go on a date, for sure.
Pros: Exquisite food
Cons: Deafeningly loud recorded music
