This review is sooop over due! My husband and I tried Que Pasta while we were at Barrel Proof in 2022 (like I said, very over due lol) anyway.. we had the most AMAZING meal. It was truly unforgettable and very unexpected since we did not know there was even going to be food when we went. Thankfully, decided to try it out and both of our jaws were on the bar counter because of how good this was. We ordered the shrimp tacos and crawfish empanadas, both were 10/10. I cannot wait to eat here again next time we visit! read more

I tried Que Pasta for the first time yesterday after receiving a Yelp Elite Perk. The two items I picked up were amazing! Loved it! The dish I had complimentary due to the Yelp Elite Perk was the octopus croquets ($5). They were SO delicious, I was glad to have tried them!! They were 3 savory croquet balls that looked like hushpuppies, and they came with 3 different sauces. They were all crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The flavor was perfect. It did not have any chewy octopus pieces you needed to chew, but you could definitely taste them with every bite! They offer a bahn mi sandwich made with the croquets ($11, I think). After trying them, I regretted not ordering one bahn mi too! I decided to also try a pupusa ($5 for 1, and $9 for 2). It was almost a burger patty made of flour and mozzarella, then breaded and fried. it was topped with some raw onions (which gave it a great addition of punchy flavor and crunch), a sweet tangy sauce, and a sprig of cilantro. The one I had had jalapeños in it, but it was only slightly spicy. Unfortunately, it was not as flavorful as I prefer (lacking in salt, maybe), but I added salsa on top of it since I was enjoying it at home. And, that made it fantastic! One thing to note: this restaurant is located at Manolito on Mondays and Barrel Proof on Wednesday-Friday. Their usual location is temporarily closed. Also, I was told their menu has been abbreviated for the pandemic. read more

I saw this pop up on Facebook and have been wanting to try them for a couple months now. I got an elite perk for free appetizer, which prompted me to finally go find them at Barrel Proof (normally they'd be at Twelve Mile Limit). I got the octopus croquetas and the chorizo lasagna. The appetizer was like hush puppies with chunks of octopus inside. They were tasty, and the octopus wasn't chewy. It came with a little cup of dressing, which is a great compliment to the dish, though I did have to pour it on my food since the cup was too small to dip anything in. The chorizo lasagna was awesome. Very flavorful. It also had a noticeable kick of spice/heat that I quite enjoyed, but if you're not a fond of spicy food then you might want to pick a different option. Overall, a very cool pop-up. read more

I received this spicy cheesy shrimp appetizer as a free perk with Yelp Elite! This was the most spicy food I have ever tried, I honestly did not expect that much flavor and spice. When things are truly authentic it will be most flavorful, I should have know. The kitchen is its own separate entity from the actual bar so the name on the building is not Que Pasta Nola, it stated something else I can't remember. However the staff was very nice and the food was good, I will return but order something less spicy lol. They do not have a website and the an updated menu is not located online so the actual name of this dish is not spicy cheesy shrimp but something with a little more flare. read more

Wow!! This popup is soooo good. I got a yelp Elite perk that let me try the octopus croquetas. They were perfectly fried and so flavorful! I also tried the pupusa sandwich. I did not realize the sandwich would include two pupusas as buns and it was a delightful surprise when I realized they were stuffed with cheese!! So goood!! I also really enjoyed the aioli on the side. The pupusa sandwich was very filling and it came with yucca (I believe) on the side, unless you are super hungry you might consider splitting it! You should definitely follow them on instagram because they regularly have a lot of other amazing looking specials that I also definitely want to try! So glad I was finally able to try this popup and I hope they have a brick and mortar one day! read more

Friggin delicious. Que Pasta Nola makes the kinda food that brings folks together. A few weeks ago I was going through my IG stories and saw a delicious looking waffle breakfast sandwich with a churro bun that one of my followers reposted from Que Pasta. When I saw they would be at 12 Mile Limit, I slipped on my shoes and headed to Mid City to see if this sammich was really bout that action. I winded up sitting next to a woman who also ordered the sandwich for the first time and was so excited to see how it would be. We both got our sandwiches at the same time and even though we mentioned we'd take them home, we sat and ate them in the courtyard, oohing and ahhing with each bite. Needless to say, we were both blown away. Getting to know the owner of this pop-up more though Yelp and IG has been great as I always love to see the masterminds behind some of the best food in my city. Cheers to Que Pasta Nola! read more

Let me start off by saying that I'm a chicken wing snob. I'm extremely picky when it comes to all things chicken. Before I tried the guava hot wings from Que Pasta, I had no idea that there was such thing as guava hot wings. The guava hot sauce on these wings is so amazing that I didn't want to dip the wings in the dipping sauce, BUT WHEN I DID Apparently, they make the guava hot sauce from scratch and the dipping sauce too. These sauces compliment each other so well. I cannot wait to try the other things on the menu here! read more

This amazing young business woman is innovative and talented. I've had her food with my husband and he loves it too. I have yet to try her pulpo, which I'm dying for. But the tofu sandwich I got pushed all boundaries and he loved his arroz con pollo. The menu changes which keeps things really fun, but there's usually a pious a special on all menus and they're so fantastic - rich and corny but sopping up all the flavors of the toppings with it. Highly recommend. read more

Oh my gosh! Yum yum yum! I saw Que Pasta start a pop up at Barrel Proof and I had to go being since it's so close to me. I really wanted everything they had on the menu but I was guided into ordering the pupusa sandwich which is pupusa buns stuffed with mozzarella and jalapeños with Cuban style brisket and pickled onions, ancho chili, salsa verde, cilantro, and mojo aioli! Can you say delish!? So excited to try some more like the octopus croquetas and loaded yuca fritas!!!! They will be at Barrel Proof Wednesday-Friday 4-10 and at Manolito Mondays 4-9! Follow their IG page for more updates to the menu! read more

Caught up with this amazing pop up!! We stayed around the corner from Siberia. Amazing. That's about all I can say. Our kids could not stop saying how good these were!! We had tacos: chicken and blackened shrimp. The sauce, the seared cheese and homemade tortillas were a killer. We also had the pulled pork nachos and they were, hands down, the best nachos to date, we've had :: coming from Chicago, we are always expecting something meh from other places. But, these gals got this down and with some amazing and new flavors that will keep you following where ever they go... hopefully they come to Chicago ;) read more

This place........ is amazing! Found them at Barrel Proof, and the food was incredible. Be sure to visit these folks whenever you can. The Shrimp Tostada was sinfully good. Legitimately amazing food!!!! 6 of 5 stars! read more

* obsessed with this food * my friend and i went to their pop up a while back and sampled a couple of their appetizers and i am obsessed with their food! we got the guava hot wings, chorizo empanadas, and the octopus croquettas. it was all so good! the guava hot wings were amazing - and i'm not even a huge fan of wings. the sauce was so good and the wings were cooked perfectly. the chorizo empanadas were so good too! they were fried perfectly and i loved crunching in to them. the octopus croquettas were good too - although i'm glad they came with a sauce! i felt like the croquettas by themselves weren't super flavorful, but the sauce helped bring a lot of flavor out of them the food in general was amazing and if i were to go back for anything, it would definitely be those hot wings! read more
