    Front of the building, from the parking lot.

    Delicious! I always love Detroit Taco bc it's fast and tasty, and yet more delicious and diverse than your average Chipotle or Qdoba. If you're coming from the south, it's the first driveway on Crooks past Maplelawn (no prominent signage has me missing the driveway every time) Two stories worth of seating, helpful cashiers, and a nice menu to help orient you. Their drinks are also fantastic--creme sodas and root beers, but not standard Pepsi products, so they taste so much better. Easiest thing to go for is a bowl, and you can customize it at will. I'm usually the only one in there when I go to eat, which hopefully means they have a bigger carry-out business than sit-down.

    Definitely the worse taco place I ever been to. The worse taco was definitely that cheap shredded chicken taco. Horrible. The beef was so bland. They gave us no sauce. One meal was supposed to come with rice and didn't. Stale chips. 2 packets of sour cream for 5 tacos ? Really? The place was empty so no excuse. Why wasn't the tortillas warm? They need to go back to the drawing board. New Cook needed. The crunch wrap no crunch. Definitely won't be back. Go to Taco Bell.

    Shredded Chicken Crispy Taco
    Mark L.

    Stopped in for a couple of quick tacos in the middle of the day.. I opted for the crispy shredded chicken. Uninspiring. I didn't think the chicken had much flavor. The tacos came with a packet of hot sauce. Service was friendly. The tacos were delivered quickly. Restaurant was clean with tables to sit at. The restaurant has a "Detroit" sorta theme with a wall mural. All around "meh" for me.

    Ground Beef Suburb Street Tacos GREASY!!
    Amanda B.

    Ordered online and it said it would be almost 25 mins for my Suburb Style - Ground Beef tacos (3 flour tortilla tacos), and this was during off-time, not high peak meal times. Food was sitting on the carry out shelf inside the door when I picked it up, not hot anymore, so arrive early when you order online. Tacos meat was so greasy it had saturated the wrappers (they didn't pack any napkins, so that was fun!). Aside from that unappetizing feature, the beef was seasoned in some type of spice that didn't taste quite right--can't quite put my finger on what it was... Do I need to go back? No. Id much ether try one of the other local taco joints nearby.

    I stopped by here on Saturday close to 2:15 and it wasn't busy at all. I did see a few people grab to-go. I had seen this pop up on yelp as a new location and decided to try it out. The nachos appealed to me! I asked for their recommendations on rice and the guy said he liked Mexican rice. I put some black beans on top and then asked the other guy what kind of meat they preferred. Mexican chicken? Alrighty! Sounds good to me! He added the warm queso on top and then I asked for lettuce and the chipotle salsa since it's medium heat. Wow! So yummy! And all for $7.95! That's less than chipotle and qdoba! I'm so coming back here again! I'm open to trying their burritos and tacos as well. It's a pretty unassuming, free-standing building right off of Crooks. There's lots of parking. The space isn't huge inside so I wonder how busy it gets. Customer service was great! They quick and pretty personable! They also have some great suggestions!

    Size reference.

    The service is great and the people are very friendly. But the food is extremely bland with very little seasoning and even less taste.

    This place always hits the spot. They are super friends and service is very quick I don't think…read moreI've ever waited for more than 20 minutes before the food comes out. The food is great definitely a comfort food kind of vibe. Do be aware if you get the large margarita it is LARGE. The place is always maintained and the clientele is respects. Would recommend this place any day of the week!

    The food was good - the service from 2 separate servers was absolutely terrible…read more I ordered the Grande Fajita Burrito - Beans on the side. Food comes - I don't see beans on the plate. I ask the server if I could have the beans that come with my burrito - his reply - "Its only one scoop!" I was confused - and repeated my question - "May I have the beans that come with my burrito?" The server repeated - "Its only one scoop!" I thought there may have been a language barrier - but no - he understood what I was asking - and because it was only one scoop of beans - he was not going to bring the beans that came with my burrito; So, he repeated for a 4th time - "its only one scoop" - as if that qualified why I should be ok with not getting a part of the meal I paid for! What made the experience worse - my beans were not the only thing the server either forgot or just didn't want to bring to the table, But we wanted to order drinks, NOPE! - he didn't bring the Verde salsa, and when we a table of 5 asked for missing items - he showed in tone, facial expression, that he was irritated with our questions for the very things that came with our meals! The terrible service it what killed it for me! Just disappointing.

If you do not eat meat or any animals, please ask what you can eat! They do not have a vegetarian menu. When my food came out, my burrito was covered in cheese. I had one waitress tell me their cheese was not vegetarian, and was mistaken on my end to assume the other server knew I was. I let our waitress know that what I ordered was not what I expected and that I was sorry about it. She let me know what it said on the menu and grabbed it from me, and I apologized again. The manager came out and told me he was sorry, but that something else I ordered (the rice) was also not vegetarian, and asked if I still wanted it. I was given a "new" plate with half of my food scrapped off and a new burrito on it, with rice still under it. Easy to say I lost my appetite. The horchata tastes like it came from a powder mix, and my mother's chicken soup was tough. I don't write reviews like this unless I was genuinely disappointed, which we both were. The food and the vibe was off :(( This is my mom's second time giving this place a shot, she was hoping to have more luck with me there, and they dropped the ball again.

    Que Pasa Taqueria has ruined me for a lot of other Mexican spots in the best possible way. I've…read morebeen coming here for over five years, and at this point, it is one of the only places I'll go when I want tacos because everything else tends to leave me wondering why I didn't just come here in the first place. The tacos are every bit as good as people say and the environment is clean and relaxed, they usually have some good music playing too. Authentic, flavorful, consistent, and made with care. But the birria is the real star for me. Hands down, it is the best birria I've had anywhere in Metro Detroit. Rich, tender, packed with flavor, and exactly the kind of thing you think about again later like it owes you money. The owner is also genuinely one of the sweetest people. He remembered my order after only a few visits, and that kind of personal touch makes the place feel even more special. I usually stick with my Mexican Coke, but I love that they have their liquor license now, because a margarita or Corona with the food is a very solid upgrade. I've brought a bunch of people here and sent a whole handful of others, and everyone has said the same thing. It is some of the best Mexican food they've ever had. One of my friends even said it was better than what he had in California and Mexico, which is a bold statement, but Que Pasa can handle bold statements. Que Pasa is not just good for the area, it is the standard I compare everyone else to. Which is probably unfair to everyone else, but here we are.
