the "va" part literally means to go, but interpret it as "going" - spainrain, Sep 2, 2009

It another salutations like:
¿Qué tal? ¿Cómo andas? ¿Qué pasa?
Literally "What goes?" employing the verb Ir
I've also seen ¿Cómo va? or "How goes it?"

@gfreed...i don't know if you are a Santana fan, but he did that remake of Willie Colon's "Oye, Como Va" Lo oyiste? - spainrain, Sep 2, 2009
That always comes to mind when I hear the phrase. - 0074b507, Sep 2, 2009

If you mean as an isolated phrase, then it is also frequently used to mean "Huh?"/"What do you mean?"/I've never heard that before!"/"I find that difficult to believe!"

¡Qué va! means something like "Come off it!" (You must be joking)

"Que va!" is also a music thing, especially in salsa. Puerto Rican Power and El Gran Combo are very fond of using it.
