Que Pasa Taqueria has ruined me for a lot of other Mexican spots in the best possible way. I've been 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. read more

We love Oaxaca (Troy), but thought we'd try out Que Pasa as well, while we were in the area. Oaxaca reigns as local best in our opinion! Things that worked at Que Pasa: the margaritas were excellent, and all the food we tried (tortas, tacos, burritos, quesadillas) were very good too. Things that need work: there was definitely a language barrier ordering and requesting that they bill our three families separately. They were using a handheld machine for orders and it took three times going over our order before it was finally put in correctly. Although we asked for bills separated, we wound up with one bill, which was too tricky to split up the way they had entered everything, so we paid for everything and had to figure out $ later. Not a major deal, just a nuisance. Also, no AC and the seating was the type of wood that needs shellacking since the shine has worn off and it's sticky. You leave feeling sweaty and sticky, and that's not the way you want to feel on a hot day. read more

I had such high hopes for this; unfortunately, did not meet my expectations. This is one of the few places in Metro Detroit with a California Burrito (San Francisco Burrito here), so I was pumped to try it. Small interior with some seating, but I got my burrito to go. Staff was friendly and my food was ready within 15 minutes of ordering. The tortilla was so greasy. Costco pizza x10. Seriously; I had to use some napkins on the tortilla because it was just soaked in grease. Not great. I got the steak. It was very good. Tender; no chewy bites and pretty good flavor. Good portions throughout the burrito. That was the highlight along with the guac. A chunky guac done well. It was fresh and just what I was looking for. Unfortunately, half my burrito was lacking in sour cream and cheese to the point I thought they forgot about it. The second half had better portions of those items, but more cheese would've benefited this. Finally, the fries were a joke. No seasoning and no crunch provided for a very unmemorable bite. A shame. Perhaps this was an off day. Perhaps I ordered the wrong thing. It was fine, but nowhere near what I was expecting. I might try this again, but need some time before I do that. Very good steak and guac. Everything else was lacking. read more

Qué Pasa is hands down one of the best places I've been. The food was fresh, flavorful, and served quickly, with generous portions that were worth every dollar. The staff was welcoming, attentive, and made the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish. The restaurant was clean, had a great atmosphere, and you can tell they genuinely care about their customers. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending Qué Pasa to anyone looking for amazing food and excellent service! read more

Just ok for me. My bf and I ordered 4 tacos to share. 2 chorizo, 1 chicken & 1 beef for carryout. Once I got home I realized they gave me a beef instead of a chicken, and something else instead of chorizo (not sure what). I'd like to see enchiladas and tamales on the menu. Flavor was just ok also, not wowed and I didn't like the chips. Not sure if I'll try again. read more

Awesome food, service and atmosphere. It wasn't super crowded when we came thankfully but it did feel lively. My red tacos were so crunchy and flavorful, and the consomme on the side was exquisite. Wasn't expecting to find a place like this in Royal Oak read more

Great food! The prices are very reasonable for the size of the portions! If you like leftovers this is the place for you! The service, like all Mexican restaurants was very swift and quick. They were very flexible and accommodating since my family originally wanted carry out. The restaurant was very small so on a busy day I recommend carry out! The TVs had SpongeBob playing so welcome all millennials do for was simple and cozy. Next time I'm in Detroit... I will be back. Thanks for a yummy time Que Pasa Tequeria! read more

Que Pasa Taqueria - Red tacos Combo #3: Steak, Birria, and Pastor. WOW. - Tacos Near Me - Sterling Heights, Michigan

My favorite location of the two. I got my ole' faithful, combo 2 which includes 3 red tacos and a drink. I ordered 1 shrimp, 1 pastor and 1 carne asada red taco topped with cilantro and onions with Sidral Mundet (apple flavored Soda) as a drink. I love how full body flavorful the protein is, making every bite delicious especially when salsa verde is added. I always get a side of house made guacamole to pair with the chips and salsa. Great service, lowkey environment and ambiance, only thing missing on this trip was my guy Gustavo !!!! read more

I had wanted to try this place for quite some time. It was pretty good a nice place to have a quick taste. Really small inside.

I visited Que Pasa Taqueria with a couple of friends who thought the place looked interesting. This was on a weekend evening and the place was basically completely packed with additional people waiting in the front for pick up orders. Even with it being so busy, service was pretty fast and although rushed, still friendly. Chips & Salsa (Complementary) - The meal starts with pretty standard commercial chips with salsa. The salsa is fresh with just a slight spiciness to give a kick. While nothing special, chips and salsa are always appreciated at any Mexican restaurant. Molita, Carnitas ($3.99) - This molita is extremely greasy, with grease spilling all over the plate and bursting out of the molita. The carnitas and everything inside is completely filled with grease, and I felt it dripping all over the mouth as I ate. The carnitas is just pulled pork; doesn't seem to be fried at all. It's very tender and moist (with grease) with no crisp or caramelization whatsoever. The molita comes with a red tortilla on top and bottom - which honestly didn't taste much different from a normal tortilla. I would not get this again. (2/5) Burrito San Francisco ($12) - I have no idea why they call this a "San Francisco burrito" when this burrito style is from the other side of the state down in San Diego. And what's funnier is that they have a "California burrito" on the menu which resembles a Mission burrito from San Francisco. Not sure why they decided to swap the two names. With that out of the way, this is the best California burrito I've had in the Midwest. The overall construction and flavor is better than a number of joints I've visited in SD (looking at you, Lolita's). The fries actually stay crisp inside. The pico adds freshness and there's an appropriate amount of carne asada stuffed inside. The asada has some gristle in parts, but is seasoned well with good flavor. The interior has more than enough crema and guac to moisten up all the fries and meat. There's plenty of cheese added for additional creaminess and bulk. The tortilla is crisped up on the flat top after construction, adding additional texture and flavoring the tortilla. The one thing I would improve is to not serve it cut in half - there were a number of jagged foil bits embedded in the burrito in the cut halves. If that gets improved, this would be a burrito I would get even in San Diego. (5/5) I am extremely surprised at the quality of the burrito here. I'd almost given up on finding a good California burrito in Michigan after multiple failures. Now I finally have a place to go to when I get that craving. Bathrooms - Two individual rooms, one for men, one for women. Overall rating of the food this visit: 3.5/5 read more

My mind is blown that the reviews on this place are so good. I ordered 2 sets of authentic tacos birria and pastor w/ cilantro and onion a burrito we pass, rice and beans, chips and guac, and an elote. One bite of everything and it is all in the trash. Corn tortilla were cold, stale like crumbled apart. ALL the food lacked any bit of flavor. Rice was hard like it was old and reheated without moisture. Tortilla chips were so hard. Even the guac lacked flavor how is that possible?! My spouse who eat everything only took three bites of his burrito and threw it away he said the steak was so tough it was hard to chew. I would say maybe this was a fluke but for EVERYTHING to lack flavor there is no mistake. The ONLY thing with flavor was the salsa verde, it was thick and tasted good. Elote the corn was soggy not crispy very watery lacked the proper amount of mayo and cheese ratio. Also bland probably due to the corn sitting in the juices for too long. I wouldn't come back even if it was free. $42 wasted and still hungry and lunch break is over. read more

I'm kind of a taco fiend, admittedly so. I had higher hopes for this place though, food wise. All the reviews seemed to indicate that the food was full of flavor, but it was honestly just a little 'meh'. I felt like something was missing? The fresh cilantro and onions and tomato's are great, but there's so much that it's almost all you taste? I ordered the Combo with 3 tacos. All chicken and a side of rice and beans and added some consumeè as well, but the sides were very average. There was no flavor in the rice or the beans, just a pool on the plate. The consumeè smelled absolutely delicious, but again, not much added to the taco itself. I cleaned my plate, but I honestly wouldn't choose this place for tacos again. However, the waitstaff - phenomenal. They were attentive, they were quick to bring forgotten items and they were so polite and so considerate the moment we walked in the door. read more

Monica was a wonderful server and my Red California burrito was so delicious! Highly recommended!!

Popped in here for a late lunch my carryout was ready and all packed up to go on time. The food was hot and generous portions. The steak was cooked well and I enjoyed it with the consume I ordered on the side. Tacos didn't come with rice and beans but added it on for $2.39. Also ordered the corn in a cup which I expected just the top to be seasoned good but the whole thing was mixed through and hit the spot. Definitely need to keep this in the lunch rotations read more

Small little strip mall restaurant. Nice and clean. Very nice employees. Nice atmosphere. Had some kind of eating challenge in 10 minutes. Not sure what it entailed but looked like a easy win to me unless it was more exotic than I like. I had their combo number 2 . 3 tacos and a diet coke. They were red which I assume means their birria beef. Very tasty. Plenty of meat. Still charging extra for cheese on tacos? Almost $15. I guess that's the new norm. read more

8 out of 10. The guy working last night was so kind and allowed us to dine in while it was only 20 min to closing. He asked us if it was ok to stack the chairs and clean up around us while we were eating , I thought this was very thoughtful and considerate as to not make us feel rushed while eating our dinner. As for the food, I got the steak red tacos and tinga chicken red tacos. They came with the consomé broth for dipping, so delicious. The reason I gave 4 out of 5 stars was because I feel it could have used a little more cheese. Overall recommend this place and will definitely be stopping by again not close to closing time lol. read more

Ok, I'm jumping on the 5 star band-wagon on this one. Excellent value, excellent food and excellent staff! The Torta Cubano I ordered was large and delicious! The Birria tacos were, per a lot of other reviews, flavorful and jammed pack with meat. I agree with a previous reviewer that SuperTaco are still the gold standard Quesabirria taco when it comes to flavor, but Que Pasa does a terrific job on their version and they are a better value. Service was friendly and quick. Nice group of people for sure. Definitely deserves a space on your "To Try" list. read more

Small spot. 6 tables. The exterior of the building is old. I used to pass by this building during college, as one of my study group mates lived off of Dequindre. We ordered 2 jarritos, a mango and a pina, 4 tacos with pollo a la parilla and two tinga tacos, a guacamole and chips app and a corn in a cup. No red tacos today, they ran out. They don't have any mandarin jarrito either. Chips and salsa comes free with your meal. The corn chips are not my favorite, hard, bagged for sure and dense too. Some better quality corn chips would make the salsas and guacamole even better. The hot salsas are both good. Even the verde salsa has some kick to it too. The food takes a little while. Even our guacamole hasn't come out since we finished the first basket of chips. We didn't get anymore chips either. Our food all came out together, including the guacamole. The guacamole is decent, has some flavor to it. The corn in a styrofoam cup is so-so, drenched in liquid, butter isn't well mixed and was all over the spoon. The dry chili was okay, maybe a bit overwhelming, made me cough taking the first few bites. The corn kernels are canned. The tinga tacos were packed full and tasty. The pollo a la parilla tacos were good, the chicken meat are quite small pieces, not in chunks. I liked the small diced onions and cilantro in our tacos. Service is good. Come for the tacos, skip the corn in the cup and the guacamole, since you are stuck with the bad chips. It's a busy spot and there's a steady flow of folks coming and going too. read more

Quepasa Taqueria is a small authentic Mexican restaurant located in a strip plaza right on 14.5 mile and Dequindre and if you're not looking for it - you just may miss it. It is a family run business, the owners/staff are friendly and provide exceptional customer service. The inside is on the smaller side, with 6 tables for indoor dining but it is colorful and inviting. As soon as you walk in you're greeted and brought complimentary chips and salsa. Their menu consists of traditional tacos, birria tacos, tortas and much more authentic cuisine. We ordered various tacos to try their variety of proteins as well as a torta cubana. Everything tasted amazing, was fresh and flavorful. I'm glad I stopped by here and have definitely found my go to restaurant for tacos and more. I will definitely be back and definitely recommend to everyone. From the service to the food - Quepasa exceeded my expectations!! read more
