O que significa?
¿Qué onda? is the most Mexican way to greet someone casually. Literally "what wave?", it works exactly like "what's up?" in English. You'll hear it dozens of times a day in Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey, and everywhere in between.
Como usar
Use it with friends, peers, and people you know. It's casual but broadly accepted — safer than "wey/güey" with someone you just met. For formal or service situations, switch to "¿Cómo está?".
Frases de exemplo

What's up, dude? (close friends only)
¿Qué onda, güey?
How's it going, everything okay?
¿Qué onda? ¿Todo bien?
