¿Qúe tal? = How's it going
¿Qúe pasa? = What's happening
¿Qúe hay de nuevo? = What's new

I think it means "Hey!" as in "Hey, listen up!" or "Hey, pay attention!" ; rather than "Hey there!" - Valerie, SEP 11, 2009

There are many variations, depending on the country. "Cómo andas?" "Que haces?" "Cómo estás?

"¡Hola!" is, itself, fairly casual compared with, say "Buenos días.", etc. The suggestions from Marianne and Guillermo are often combined with (or, more accurately, preceded by) "¡Hola!" e.g. "¡Hola! ¿Qúe tal?"
