What People are Saying
“We just ordered dinner from our favorite place in town. Their take-out was just as good as dining in. The food was fresh, delicious and the portions were plenty. It was great to support a local business in these trying times and they included a thank you note, which was a nice touch. Cannot recommend Que Pasa enough. Their Potatoes Ole are the tops!“

“Wow! Really well executed food. You could tell they put a lot of love into their product. We had entrees and appetizers for two, spent just under 50 and we were so full! None of the food felt heavy or greasy. The carnitas in the enchiladas was on point, and so were the steak fajitas, our favorite though was definitely the street corn. The restaurant threw in a free dessert and a thank you for supporting them during this time. I strongly recommend ordering from Que Pasa. “

“I have been going to this restaurant since they first opened and it was named Aqui. The side dish of potatoes ole came from Angie’s grandmother. This is Mexican comfort food that speaks of home. Pork Negro is one of my husband’s favorites. I love the jalapeno corn muffins served with the salads. There is a great covered, heated patio with a border of lush plants. A nice selection of Margaritas with seasonal specials. We go there about once of week and have never tired of the food after nearly 14 years.“

“This is one of my favorite Mexican spots. I wish they were opened for lunch on the weekends. Great happy hour and I love that they always have an IPA on tap. Ample seating options including outdoor. Food is very good with a few unique options. I’m not sure why nachos are so difficult for most restaurants to execute, but have no fear – Que Pasa nails them and they are downright huge off the normal menu, and big enough off the happy hour.“
