First time here, absolutely love the whole experience. The ambiance and decor inside and outside is beautiful and inviting and the customer service is awesome. I can’t even say how delicious the food was, everything we tried was so delicious! Can’t wait to come back to try the tamales and the queso.

This was my first time trying Que Pasa Cantina! The service was amazing, very sweet people. The food was really good as well. I had the nachos and they’re humongous . I also forgot what margarita I got but that was delicious as well. The one I got was like $11. Overall a solid 9/10 great food and service, definitely coming back again.

We came down for the moto 1 show and we decided to get dinner before heading back up to Washington, this popped up with good reviews and it honestly deserves better then a 4.5. Everything we had was amazing! Great margaritas and there salsa was to die for. I would definitely come back. The vibe is amazing, the color choices are beautiful and the staff is very friendly. Thank you for an amazing dinner

I wanted to check this place out for happy hour to get a chance to taste flavors for future visits. The food was good, great serving sizes and fantastic chips that went further than just salt which definitely helps them stand out.

This place is small but the outside patio is really nice and heated in winter. The chips are very tasty and fresh. Seem homemade to me. The salsa and queso were very tasty along with the Sangria. If you are looking for Mexican or a good happy hour check this place out.

Very disappointed! For years we have enjoyed coming to this restaurant, but after last night we are not sure if we will ever come back. We have had the corn side dish many times, but last night it was not at all the same wonderful dish it had been before. The food in general was not at all the quality and taste we were use to. And the Margaritas were just plain sour! Such a shame!

I don’t know if it was an off night, 4 of us dined, not one of us had any “taste” in our food. The salsa was basically tomato sauce, Birria tacos just tasted like cheese slightly??, chicken tacos and fajitas were dry and tasteless, the queso weirdly tasted like broccoli cheddar soup? We probably won’t be giving this place another shot as we didn’t get a single thing that was good!
