Hello !
" La fiesta fue a toda madre." it's an idiomatic expression. It belongs to certain countries. Your translation is correct, it's like to say " the party was terrific "
" Qué onda?" it's an idiomatic expression too. You can translate that as " What's up ?" but it can be used with different intentions: what happens ? what's going on ? what do you think (about something) ?
Best wishes

That's correct, but note that this is Mexican Spanish.

One last thing, I would like to clarify something... I personally do not use these expressions not even with friends, but if any of my friends use it with me, I would not feel offended or anything, but it would be very weird if the clerk of a store used it to say hi to me. I hope this gives you a better idea of how it can be used or perceived.
