December 2025 menu
Paul E.

Excellent Mexican Street taco joint. For my first visit here I ordered two Asada (steak) street taco's that were very authentic and had only cilantro, both fresh cut and sautéed onions, fresh lime slice on the side, all on top of two fried corn tortillas. The meats was very tender & flavorful, veggies quite fresh and finished product very very tasty. As a cautionary note, the Salsa was probably a medium on the spicy scale and if you like your food mild you may want to ask for the mild salsa that comes with the chips. Other item of note here is the chips and salsa come gratis if you dine in where they were good but not quite at the level as the taco's which were over the top good! Relative to the restaurant and staff, the facility itself has a smallish footprint where there are just two tables and one very long counter with stools for indoor dining. My take of this is that much of the business is probably carryout. Staff was very friendly where you order your food at the counter and they bring it to you if you are dining in the restaurant. there was no table follow up at this point where it really operate as a quasi fast food joint which I was totally OK with, Overall really good food at a very reasonable price (2 steak taco's were $8) where the taco's are some of the best I have had in Metro Detroit. If you are a fan of good authentic Mexican food than this is a business not to be missed.

California Burrito
Bianca S.

The best California burrito in Michigan. I genuinely haven't found anything better! Everything tastes so fresh and you can tell they care about what they're serving. Their churros are unreal too. Service is great, they're friendly and always have a smile on. My only wish is that they had a bigger menu, some authentic carne asada or birria would make this place absolutely unbelievable.

Pastor Tacos & Chorizo Tacos (with cilantro, onions, and hot salsa on corn tortillas)
Amber C.

Oaxaca is top tier for authentic Mexican tacos (the pastor and chorizo are so flavorful! so addictive! so much better than anywhere else, by far!). It's my fave restaurant in Troy and never lets me down. Service is always nice and speedy. The location has a nifty mural and is kept clean. It's a must visit spot. If you try it, there's a good chance you'll become a regular.

Chips and salsa
Natalie S.

The food was pretty good. Service was excellent! The location is a standard small restaurant in a plaza. We drove from around 40 mins away based on a tik toc we saw. The torta was good, the guac was excellent, the tlayuda was just ok. For the cost of almost 20$ just for the tlayuda they needed to put more meat on it.

Wall inside restaurant.

Delicious tacos, chips, salsa, rice and beans. We had steak, shrimp and chicken tacos. All around positive experience. Glad we discovered this gem!

Chicken quesadilla
Deena S.

Fast and fresh authentic Mexican street food. Service is great as well. We ordered a beef torta, chicken quesadilla, 4 asada (steak) tacos, 2 shrimp tacos, and a large guac with chips. Portions are pretty generous, and flavors are great. Their housemade tortilla chips are thick and crispy. However we like the guac could use some work...maybe more lime and more ingredients, and bigger portions? The large was barely enough for 2. But other than that, we really enjoyed our takeout! Will definitely be back.

Chips 7/10
Thomas Y.

Very high expectations based on all the reviews but my order was very meh Shrimp tacos were ok but lacked flavor, steak tacos were dry and also lacked any flavor. Chips were stale. Chicken burrito was filled with rice and beans, just an big soggy mess with absolutely no flavor. Not sure what happened, Taco Bell would have been much better!

Disappointing Turnaround - Great Potential, Terrible Service and Quality Control…read more We had a great experience during our first couple of visits and for that, they get a couple of stars. Even though their signature dishes are Salvadoran, we order their traditional tacos, and they were easily a 5-star experience. Unfortunately, our visit today literally and metaphorically left a bad taste in our mouths, and we will not be returning. My wife and I ordered our usual four tacos each. The moment we both bit into the Al Pastor, we immediately looked at each other in shock, the meat tasted foul. Wanting to give them the benefit of the doubt, I figured they might just not sell their pork as often, but it was bad enough that it should never have been served in the first place. The real issue was how management handled it. I brought the matter up to a female staff member, and then to a male staff member who stepped in because she didn't understand me. Instead of handling the feedback professionally, the gentleman defensively questioned if I even "knew how marinated pork tasted" and then gave us the cold shoulder. I explicitly told them I was still going to pay our bill in full; I just wanted to alert them to a potential food safety issue. There was no apology, no courtesy offer, and absolutely no accountability. They simply went into denial and thought we didn't know the difference between marinated pork and spoiled meat. To top it off, when I went to pay the bill, the same man pointedly told me I needed to select a tip option on the screen before I could tap my card. While I normally have no issue tipping, I was in utter disbelief at the audacity to push for a tip after such a defensive and unaccountable interaction. I genuinely hope their kitchen and pantry hygiene are up to standard so no one gets sick, and I wish them well. However, they completely lost a customer today due to poor quality control and even worse customer service.

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.
