El Noa Noa — Restaurant in Wapato

I remember going here for the first time 3-4 years ago, I decided to go because I remembered I really liked the food. I ordered 6 tacos with beans and rice. Before I got my order there was 4 other people that ordered AFTER me that go their food, some of which were basically WHAT I ORDERED (as far as items) I got my food and said than you have a nice day in Spanish and got laughed at.

INFORMATIVE TIME: I am half native and half Mexican, that day I had chosen to wear my head scarf and some beaded earrings along with my MMIW shirt. I got really weird stares and on top of that the service I was given and the way people reacted to me was very telling, I didn’t fit in.

I came through here a few years back after driving all night. This place only took cash, and I only had a credit card while being stuck at a nearby dock door for the day.

"Be wary of strangers because they entertain angels unaware." well, it was written, I am aware. May Our Heavenly Father bless you and your's this Christmas abundantly. Amen....

Wow some restaurateur out in the middle of nowhere named his business after the famous Noa Noa song written by Juan Gabriel. Well after we sat down at an enormous booth, we realized we were supposed to order at the front counter. We were starting to get worried then our order's number was called. The piles of chicken, asada beef. tacos, burros, rice and beans looked mouth watering and they were! My Nordic son-in-law is still raving about this place! It really should be more of a sit down restaurant...
