    Tamale

    Usually good but this is what you get when you buy a "tamale". Typically a good restaurant but this is ridiculous

    Carolina C.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience is great[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and service was amazing especially during lunch hour. I got enchiladas verdes, and I felt like there was not enough sauce and just a good plate of food.

    Chips and salsa brought out for the table

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Friendly service, great tasting food, and a casual vibe![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They brought out a big sombrero and sang for my husband's birthday! Their food tastes very much like authentic Mexican cuisine that I used to eat when I lived in San Diego. Their margaritas and other drinks were strong (not complaining!). Their parking lot is small, and if you blink while driving down busy Van Dyke, you'll miss this quaint spot, but it's the perfect place to satisfy your Mexican food cravings.

    Mexico City is a good overall restaurant. There will most likely be a wait for dine in during peak hours. The staff is sufficient, and the atmosphere is causal. There's little to complain about when it comes to the food. It's not the best Mexican out there, but it's better than average. Portion sizes are more than fair, as well. My favorites are the nachos and the tacos, specifically the al pastor and barbacoa.

    CHICKEN FRIED QUESADILLAS

    I went to Mexico City restaurant with my boyfriend on a weeknight. The parking lot was busy, and it was fairly difficult to park. When we walked in, we were seated right away. It's decorated with bright Mexican colors. Once seated, They brought chips and salsa to our table and let us know which was hot and which was mild. We tried both and if I'm honest I felt like both of them were too spicy. The menu has several options. We ordered the queso dip as an appetizer. It came out quickly and was pretty good. Very creamy. For dinner both my boyfriend and I ordered the chicken fried quesadilla because it looked like it would be good. They were only ok. They really lacked salt, and my boyfriends were kind of burnt. They came with rice and beans (I asked for no beans), and the rice was only ok - it wasn't bad, it just needed more flavor. For dessert we both ordered the fried ice cream. It was pretty good. The chocolate sauce with the ice cream and the fried tortilla really hit the spot. The service was pretty good, the waitress kept our drinks full and checked on us regularly. Overall, we would go back to try other items on the menu.

My wife and I have been running errands and wanted to try something new for supper and found this place on yelp. When we arrived it seemed a little quiet, but the hostess/waitress quickly appeared and showed us to a table. From there everything went smoothly. I opted for a plate of enchiladas, and found them to be very well prepared and seasoned. The salsa had that wonderful tomato forward texture to it that I enjoy very much. The room is small, and it's clear that they get most of their business on carryout. That being said I think if you showed up with a somewhat larger party they would be glad to take care of you. They certainly took good care of us.

Being that I'm on this side of town for a few days, I figured it was finally time to check it out. The location's much bigger with more seating than the Rochester Hills one. Nicely decorated with ample seating, you order at the counter and they run the food out to you. Not sure if they have waitresses or not, but that's how they were running it when I was there. I asked if they had Birria tacos and the man behind the counter said they do, just not on the menu. I ordered the taco dinner with shredded beef, rice, beans and a glass of water. I got served chips and dip which was okay, but the salsa was a bit runny for my liking. The "hot" salsa was good, and wasn't overpowering. Eventually, my food came out and it was a huge portion! I was impressed with all three tacos, rice and beans. It was only $13 on the menu, so I was happy with how much food I was served. The beef was a little on the dry side but still fairly good. Rice and beans were decent, but the music was a bit on the louder side. I docked a star for the meat being a bit dry and louder music considering it wasn't really necessary. The man who rang me up was super nice and friendly and also went through the menu with me since I had a few questions before ordering. Overall, a decent meal for the price and I'd return in the future.

    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.

    We love Oaxaca (Troy), but thought we'd try out Que Pasa as well, while we were in the area. Oaxaca…read morereigns 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.

The restaurant itself has a relatively small foot print where the tables are close together and where there are no frills about this place and definately a tad on the rustic side. Facility aside, this place makes some excellent authentic Mexican street tacos where my El Pastor and Asada taco's were well made, PACKED with meat (no scrimping here) and oh so tasty. Service is quite quick where once seated you get your food within a few minutes making this an excellent spot if you are on the run and looking for a good meal on the quick. Prices are cheap in my opinion where my three taco's and a coke came to just $12. NICE! Two things to note here is that the chips and salsa are not gratis but come at an extra cost and follow up once you get food was non existent in my case. Chips and salsa was not a big deal to me but lack of follow up prevented this business from getting a fifth star.
