Unique Appetizer Options

Tacos: From street style to gourmet creations
If you’re in the mood for tacos, prepare to be wowed. Que Pasa offers a range of tacos, from simple street tacos to elaborate gourmet tacos.
Street Taco Trio
The street taco trio lets you sample a variety of meats, all served on small, soft corn tortillas. You might find fillings like carne asada (grilled steak), al pastor (marinated pork), carnitas (braised pork), or lengua (beef tongue), depending on the day. These tacos are topped in the traditional style, with chopped cilantro, diced onion, and a spicy salsa.
Gourmet Mexican Soft Tacos
These tacos are a step up from the classic street taco, featuring more elaborate fillings and preparations.
Steak or Chicken Gourmet Taco
The steak or chicken is marinated in a blend of spices and citrus juices, then grilled or pan-seared to perfection. The specific marinade varies, but you can expect flavors like cumin, chili powder, garlic, and lime. These tacos are served on large flour tortillas with toppings like shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, and a creamy chipotle sauce.
Gourmet Seafood Soft Taco
The seafood taco features grilled or beer-battered shrimp or fish (typically cod or mahi-mahi), depending on availability. The grilled option is often seasoned with a blend of Southwestern spices, while the beer-battered option is crispy and golden brown. Both are served with shredded cabbage, a tangy lime crema, and mango salsa.
Tacos de Papa
For a vegetarian option, try the crispy potato tacos. These feature mashed potatoes seasoned with spices, rolled in corn tortillas, and deep-fried until golden and crispy. They’re topped with a flavorful tomato consommé and garnished with shredded lettuce, diced onions, queso fresco, and a dollop of sour cream.
Burritos: Flavor-Packed and Filling
No discussion of Qué Pasa is complete without mentioning their burritos. These things are legendary!
Qué Pasa Burrito
The signature burrito is stuffed with seasoned ground beef, rice, beans, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and your choice of salsa. It’s the classic, and it’s a crowd-pleaser.
Veggie Burrito
For the vegetarians (and anyone who wants a healthy option), the Veggie Burrito comes loaded with grilled peppers, onions, zucchini, squash, rice, beans, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and salsa.
Gourmet Burrito
Feeling fancy? The Gourmet Burrito is where it’s at. Think grilled steak or chicken, black beans, roasted corn, pico de gallo, guacamole, and a drizzle of chipotle crema. It’s huge – seriously, consider sharing it…or don’t, we won’t judge!
Fajitas: Sizzling and Customizable
No Tex-Mex menu would be complete without fajitas! At Que Pasa, you can customize your fajitas to your liking.
Fajita Supreme
The Fajita Supreme is a carnivorous delight, featuring a generous portion of Angus steak, tender chicken, and plump shrimp, all sizzling together with sautéed bell peppers and onions. It’s served with a stack of warm, handmade tortillas so you can build your perfect fajita.
Combo Fajitas
If you can’t decide between steak and chicken, the Combo Fajitas are the way to go. They feature marinated Angus steak and juicy chicken, grilled to perfection and seasoned with a blend of spices that will make your taste buds sing. Of course, they come with a stack of warm, handmade tortillas.
Seafood Fajitas
For a lighter option, try the Seafood Fajitas, featuring grilled shrimp and flaky Mahi Mahi fish. The seafood is seasoned and cooked just right, then served with those irresistible handmade tortillas.

These enchiladas feature a rich, dark sauce made from poblano peppers, which are mild but flavorful. You can usually choose from fillings such as cheese, chicken, or beef.
New Enchiladas de Espinacas
If you’re looking for a vegetarian option, spinach enchiladas are a good choice. These are filled with a savory spinach mixture and often topped with a creamy white sauce or a lighter tomato-based sauce.
Sizzling Enchiladas
Served on a sizzling skillet, these enchiladas make a dramatic entrance! They often come with your choice of filling, such as steak, shrimp, or vegetables, and are topped with melted cheese and your favorite sauce.
Enchiladas Aztecas Ahumadas
These enchiladas have a unique smoky flavor thanks to the use of smoked meats or smoked cheese. They are often made with Oaxaca cheese, which melts beautifully and has a mild, slightly tangy flavor.
