5/5. again. Very good place that routinely delivers excellent service, food, and ambience! The corn ravioli is a highlight. Worth a detour for this place! The yuca fries are always cooked perfectly. I'm impressed by the kitchens' predictability and reliability with the food. I've ordered the same thing multiple times and it's been nearly identical. read more

Two times in two weeks! Why didn't I get here sooner? Amazing food coming out of this joint in Beverly MA. Chef owned and operated,some of the most authentic Latin cuisine on the north shore with friendly knowledgeable staff in a colorful industrial setting. Price point is excellent for the quality of the food received. Brava Que Mas! You've become my favorite restaurant. read more

Que Mas - Corn arepa - Latin American Near Me - Beverly, Massachusetts

The vibe is one of loving food, loving coworkers and wanting to share this love! Had dinner last night, 6 of us total. Apps, beers, meals, sides, desserts, and we all tried each others foods. What a treat. Definitely will come monthly to enjoy for date night or with friends. Very special food, worth celebrating. High quality experience, great atmosphere: cool and upscale but unpretentious. Gigi was our water, and despite being her 3rd day on the job, she was excellent. Clearly a keeper. McKenzie was still training her and we appreciated his sarcasm. We will ask for Gigi next time we come. Bianca is front of house, and seems to keep all in line. She is organized and runs things. We were dining with a former favorite teacher of hers, but she is really engaged with all. You can see what we got in the pics below: Ceasar salad with shrimp, other salad with shrimp, brick chicken, pork schnitzel, lobster stew and salmon. Apps/sides included tempura green beans, grilled asparagus, fries with cheese and plantains. Chicken and pork portions were especially large and needed to go bags. For dessert the passion fruit sorbet and chocolate graham cracker banana foster ice cream were chosen with 6 spoons. The banana foster ice cream was unusual and to die for, sorbet was great too. Meeting Alex and having him answer many questions we had, was a highlight. While talking with him, he told us how great different staff were, and we could see that not only does he know everyone - many have been with him for up to 20 years in other restaurants - his staff also really enjoy working for him. This must contribute to the energy here. Nice atmosphere of course, but the vibe is one of loving food, loving coworkers and wanting to share this love! We opted for a 4:30 reservation, so we're alone for the beginning of our dinner. If the time you want isn't on resy, call them. They will always try to accommodate. There is a nice area that can accommodate a small group - maybe up to 16 or 20 - in the back corner. The outside is also really nice when weather permits. There will be some nice options in the future. Family nights where kids under a certain age eat free, and fixed price meals. Can't wait for that! That will be a big hit in Beverly I think. We also had ideas for specific events and Alex was open to that. So def check it out. I was sad for Frank's to leave. It's nice to have another high quality option. read more

I love this place, favorite dinner place in Beverly! Authentic latin food with incredible flavor and great value for the price. The decor and interior vibe seem very deliberate, we love sitting anywhere because it feels spacious even when it's very busy. The bar is very well stocked and I adore the bar manager. All the staff are so friendly and personable. My favorite cocktail right now is the Dad's joke (which is corny) and the mocktails are also delightful. The menu rotates seasonally and always impresses. Definitely check this place out and try the ice creams. Great for vegetarians like me, and my friend who got the burger loved it. read more

Estephanie was one of the rudest hosts we've ever met. Inside was empty. No wonder this restaurant went out of business.

Que Mas is a great addition to downtown Beverly! If you haven't checked it out, it's has to be on your short list of restaurants to try. Great food, great drinks, great vibe! What we ate: - Ceviche de Peru: Super fresh and served with taro chips - Miso Salmon: This dish was amazing!! The purple yam, sautéed baby kale and miso all pair amazingly well together. - Special: Fish & Chips. Large portion of perfectly fried fish, which was light at the same time. Great fries as well. We had a creative cocktail that was similar to a pisco sour but with an added strawberry twist. read more

We've dined here previously so when we realized we didn't have Thanksgiving plans and saw they were offering a 3-course prix fixe special menu we thought we'd give it a try. Best. Decision. Ever. My meal started with a fantastic twist on a classic Cesar salad -- traditional enough to please purists but with added grilled broccoli that added crunch and flavor. I went with the turkey dinner (turkey, mashed potatoes, creamed onions, stuffing, cranberry sauce) that was just like home -- if me and my family members were creative and accomplished chefs. Topped off with a slice of pecan pie that was also exceptional, and needed to come home with me for later as I was already full. Nancy had the curried mussels to start, the flat iron steak, and the pumpkin tiramisu and I can personally attest to the excellence of each it. The service was outstanding and the chef, Alex Padena, came around to our table before and after our meal, as did his celebrity-chef mother Lydia Shire who had helped with a couple of her own items on the menu. Overall and excellent meal. And if this becomes an annual event, we'll see you there next Thanksgiving. read more

I was super impressed with the service here!! Bri served us and we got all of our food/drinks timely as well as some special touches (fresh utensils between courses and a very clean table throughout the meal). I'm a former fine dining server and can be a bit picky about service, but she nailed it. Food was also good. I got the arugula salad and the Autumn in New England fall cocktail was delightful and well balanced. I am excited to come back and try the swordfish!! read more

Que Mas - Atmosphere - Latin American Near Me - Beverly, Massachusetts

Lunch on a windy March afternoon. We were warmly welcomed. Server was knowledgable and offered alternatives to today's menus. I had the cod sandwich, lightly battered, served on a brioche bun with lettuce and cornichons with an aioli sauce on the side. My wife had the Tijuana Caesar salad with grilled shrimp. She found the shrimp to be perfectly cooked, tender and moist. Food was delicious and beautifully plated. Overall 5 stars for food, service, and ambiance. Will return very soon read more

Loved the Brick Chicken, and the airy and spacious dining room. Priced a little high $30+ for the chicken, but very tasty, and service was first rate. read more

Went here for a date night and the ambiance was nice (need to go back to try the bottle shop they share the front space with)- we had an appetizer, a to share and entree. Great amount of food for 2! The only real miss was that the tamale served with our entree was fresh but quite dry. We also tried the cheese ice cream for desert- a unique savory and sweet experience that I'd definitely have again! read more

PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND ORDER THE BRICK CHICKEN. I never ever in a million years thought I would recommend a chicken dish, but this is quite literally the best chicken I have ever had in my life!!!! It came out PIPING hot which is just how I like it, and it was the perfect amount of tender and crispy. Truthfully, my husband ordered it for himself but I am pretty sure I ended up eating half of his meal because it was so good. Sadly I am not a local and can't eat this all the time, so please order it so I may live vicariously through you. Service was great, we felt very taken care of. read more

What an absolute gem! From the minute you walk in you're greeted by friendly staff, beautiful table settings and best of all an eclectic array of art everywhere you look. There's an interesting display of different brand sardines cans, fishing baskets combined with modern designs. Most to which belonged or was created by the owner Alex. We had stopped by for a quick drink and an appetizer. We ordered the mussels in coconut sauce. It was to die for! Will definitely return to try their other dishes! Based on the other dishes I saw and the satisfied looks in everyone's face with their meals, I'd say it's a must to return. I highly recommend! read more

This place is such a gem. The street corn, plantains, cocktails, steak, salmon, etc are all amazing. Especially the starters. Que Mas really stands out amid a lot of good but predictable pubs and Italian spots around the area. The Bottle Shop walk-through is also very cool. (The only critique is that the space is a little big) read more

Perfect for a date night. Took pictures of nothing. Ate everything! The ceviche was delicious as was the Bavette Steak. Our server, Estefania, was attentive, kind, and funny. read more

Lunch on a Saturday in March. Service was attentive and we were warmly welcomed. I had the Cod Sandwich, lightly battered and fried. it was moist, tender, and delicious. My wife had the Tijuana Cesar with grilled shrimp which were perfectly cooked. Overall: Excelent service, food beautifully presented and delicious. Look forward to returning very soon. read more

It makes a lot of sense that this restaurant is new. While the food and atmosphere were adequate, I'll never forget how the staff- particularly manager Bianca and bartender Colin made me feel. My friend and I came in on 1/9 and sat at the bar for a drink and food. We previously had been at the beach taking pictures and this is the first establishment with drinks we visited. After ordering one margarita which took me 35-40 minutes to drink as well as ordering an appetizer and entree I was denied getting a second drink for being "intoxicated". Seeing as how that margarita was my first drink of the night you can imagine my confusion. Bianca was completely unprofessional and couldn't find the words to explain why or provide proof- honestly I was embarrassed for her lack of communication. The owner was quick to comp our entire meal which is telling. I just hope the right people see this and are able to improve their compassion and courtesy towards their patrons. I wasn't drunk or even buzzed but I am dealing with the loss of my best friend. Tonight was one of the first nights I decided to go out and talk about my grief with my good friend and wow did this make me feel so much worse. With so many other restaurants nearby I encourage patrons to skip this unremarkable business and go somewhere where you won't leave crying. read more

Amazing service and AMAZING food. The design of the place and the interior deco and outdoor patio were very inviting, even down to the plates and silverware. HIGHLY RECOMMEND read more

Beautiful! Stunning restaurant with artful elegance. Amazing staff and very well priced to proportion plates. Each corner, each dish, a story to tell. The young and fearless owner-Chefs have poured nothing but sweat, vision, creativity and inspired palate into every detail, every corner and every bite. You will not be disappointed even if you are skeptical by a petite and focused menu. And by all means, DO NOT get your heart set on anything here I am drooling about - because they will play with the seasons, the local, the fresh and the flavors of their native lands (and anything in between goes!). If you are expecting the flavors of the "Caribe" or Mex/TexMex... and that is what you are craving - go somewhere else. Because this is a place to learn about other Latin Cuisines that are part of the fiber of what makes us Latinos (his riff on my beloved sweet plantain was a simplistic stroke of GENIOUS! Normally a breakfast side item in my home, they turned it into a perfect bite with a guac sauce and crispy HOME MADE onions. Amuse Bouche teaser!). I'm a huge dynamic duo Chefs Alex and Noe fan. Ever ever since I samples their food at the Martha's Vineyard food and Wine festival. But there is a back story to that... Vineyard Haven, couple of years ago - fresh off an 11 day eating and wine fest of my own in the Basque region of Spain, ending at the Michelin Star at Marques de Riscal. 8 lbs wider, I had signed up for this event in the Islandurious hotel Harbor View Hotel. Having shelled out MORE MONEY for the Martha's Vineyard Event than I did at a 1 star Michellin, I jokingly asked this gorgeous young Chef if he was up to the task (I had just watched his Chopped episode and read his bio). He gave me a warm hug, a smile to kill (this gorgeous little spunky and totally down to earth human with more talent that his thin and strong body can house!) and said "mamacita, I cook with love. I will do it BETTER. HA! I thought, bring it. 10 courses and 10 pairings by Zan who is now at Que Mas with him, and I almost went to my maker after all that AMAZING, BLOW YOUR SOCKS OFF meal (I've blogged it before). Then Noe came out of the kitchen and I'm thinking to myself "I HAVE SONS OLDER THAN THESE TWO AND THEY DARE SERVE FOOD LIKE THIS?! SHAMELESS! I LOVE THEM!). One could say I'm a groupie! I have since been to each one of the festivals he has done, and drove through traffice from Hudson to Beverly 1.5 hours just to eat his food again! (I had been to the Landing in Marblehead once, but they had just left for other ventures. Boo HISS!). Worth the sciatica and the traffic! Creative yet comfort food loaded with love and passion. Central and South American cuisine with a hint of "chefy" yet unpretentiously relatable. Their burrata ravioli with chicharrón is playful, perfectly executed and flavorful (fried pork makes any dish sing!). The bavette steak and creamy, dreamy polenta is one of the most sought after dish for a reason. OMG! The thick and garlic infested coconut curry bathing perfectly poached mussels?! Shut.The. Front. Door! I could use that to pour over my body for a soak and lick myself clean - it is so sensual, decadent and yet RELATABLE! And that bread?! Yea, we went there. The lamb chop special of the evening ware 2 lamb chops Flintstones size! With ethereal whipped mashed... I am a croqueta monster, and his delicate little crispy and creamy baccalao bolitas are what the doctor ordered. Dessert? Ok, last year October, Harbor View, exhausted and sitting in the lobby waiting to head over to their snob with the press, Noe and Alex sat with me for a bit. I was still in a food coma when we talked FLAN. Now I know a lot of you poor souls have only have sub-par flan. Sub human. That goya brand in the aluminum cup maybe. You poor things. I've been making flan since I could reach a stove. NO WAY NOE can YOUR flan be equal or better to my grannys, mom in laws or mine. NO WAY NOE. On this visit, I was SO STUFFED I didn't order dessert. But it was my birthday, and Noe sent me home with flan. I publicly stand corrected. I will eat your flan in a van, I will eat your flan from the pan. I will eat your flan here and there, I will eat that flan ANYWHERE! The restaurant is gorgeous and commands a cult following with their vibrant atmosphere and sexy bar. I'm so proud of this pair of overly talented yet down-to-earth Chefs! You've come a long way since your Chopped competition Chef Alex! You make your mama Chef Shire look better than ever! And Noe? Seriously Chef! Aren't you ashamed of yourself? How DARE you serve food that can outshine "older" Chefs? La sazòn y el sabor these two deliver will linger. Get yer butt there! I drove 1.5 hours from Hudson for their food, you may be around the corner! (If you go to Salem for October Witch hunting, Que Mas is a stone throw away!). Take in gentrified Beverly, bask at the trendy elegance of the decor, get yourself comfortable and let it rip!!! read more

We visited Que Mas before attending a show at the North Shore music theater. The food was delicious and unique. We especially loved the fried green bean appetizer. read more

In the beginning the service was a bit off. After a few words with manager, they took care of all issues and were quite nice with the tab. A great place, good food , and after a few issues they were awesome. We will be back. read more

First off, the customer service and staff here are absolutely amazing! Very friendly, polite and out going. The food and presentation are fantastic! Every dish is full of flavor. The decor/interior is so unique and nice! Touch of modern upscale. My favorite dish was the street corn arepa. Who ever knew that arepa and burrata are so perfect together. The Alex's beet salad was so good too. The whipped ricotta stole the show. The fried pork chuleta is the size of a titanic ! Very crispy, seasoned to perfection and the white rice is so delicious! You MUST TRY the Chocolate Tres Leche! It's amazing. Overall, the service and food are 5 stars. Lots of credit to Chef Alex. Definitely will be back read more

The food was great. We got an app and two que mas burgers! I asked for mine without the egg and they were able to accommodate my request with no issue. Their pork belly is amazing.

My fiancé and I had an amazing dinner at Que Mas last night. Our server was great and the food was unique and delicious. I got the El Diablo Margarita, it was the perfect amount of spicy and sweet and a beautiful presentation. We had the Sweet Corn Arepa for our appetizer. This is a must-try, one of the best appetizers I've had in a while. I got the swordfish for my entree and it was fantastic. Perfectly cooked fish and I loved all the sides it came with. My fiancé got the Bavette Steak and I sampled it, it was really good. It came with the tamale and stuffed zucchini blossom plus 2 different mole sauces. Really unexpected combination of flavors that worked so well together. We loved the chocolate tres leches cake for dessert. We can't wait to come back! read more

Had a chance to try this place for a family member's promotion, restaurant has a good amount of space and great ambiance with some cool interesting art pieces. Service was amazing from start to finish as both our servers were attentive, personable, and friendly! For the food, we deciding to go with family style and share all our dishes. All the appetizers were not too heavy, great starters to our entrees, with standouts being street corn arepa, tempura fried shishito peppers, and mussels. On to our main dishes which had perfect cooks, the pork chuleta was crispy but still moist, brick chicken with crispy delicious skin while still being perfectly moist, and miso salmon was cooked perfectly medium. All were absolutely delicious and we would order again. Finally dessert... the chocolate tres leche cake was to die for! Highly recommended if it's in your wheelhouse read more

Beverly is not cool enough to deserve a place like Que Mas. I say a prayer every night and thank god that this restaurant has landed in this vanilla town. The chuleta- GTFO! It's amazing and a huge serving. Caesar salad - comes with actual anchovies! Finally! The cheese ice cream - not a typo. Folks , we are sooooooo f***g blessed. And the interior is stunning. I always sit at the bar and eat and leave with a bottle of rum from the attached Bottle Shop/ Deville. The el Diablo ! read more

Our first time at Que Mas will not be our last! Our server Josh was so friendly and personable, and the food was delicious. We had the yuca fries with cheese and street corn to start. The yuca was good, but the street corn was incredible! There were four of us, and the two starters were perfect portion-wise. For mains, my wife had the clean option salmon, while I had the bavette steak -- both dishes and the accompanying sides were cooked nicely and full of flavor. The little cheese tamale that came with my steak - I could eat a bucket of those. Our friends were equally pleased with their brick chicken and swordfish. We tried to finish the evening with the chocolate tres leches and a brown butter (I think) ice cream desert with bananas. Like everything else we tasted, the deserts were fantastic - particularly that tres leches. We were just too full! Josh was the kind of server you wish could just join you at your table so you can get to know him. He was genuine, and kind enough to share the brunch menu with us. We're grateful to Josh and the rest of the staff at Que Mas for helping us have a wonderful evening full good food and company. We're already plotting our next visit. Almost forgot, the cheapo margaritas were some of the best I've had. No crazy oversized glass I could keep my dog in, no messy salt or sugar rim, just a clean, perfect drink with the right amounts of sweet, sour, and kick. Good stuff... read more

The service from Briana at the bar was excellent. The food was very good. Overall we had a very good experience and will definitely be back.

What a wonderful brunch experience. Unique and beautiful ambiance; friendly staff; and of course, DELICIOUS food! We were pleasantly surprised. Even the coffee was such a bold, strong, yummy flavor - unlike the watery tasteless coffee that is typically served in diners. We will definitely be back to try the dinner menu. read more

What an amazing place. Ambiance was unbelievable. We had Olivia as we sat at the bar. She knew everything about the drinks and wine and had great recommendations. We had the Korean short ribs for an app and they were great. Had the brick chicken and bravette steak? For entrees, both were amazing. Flan and butternut martini for dessert again recommended by Olivia, both were fantastic. Couldn't say enough good things about this place and we only stopped in because nothing else was open on a Monday night read more

We had an amazing dinner at Que Mas last night. The atmosphere is wonderful, the service was impeccable, and the food was exceptional. I had the beet salad followed by the vegetarian risotto of the day, and I can honestly say it was the best meal I have had in a very long time. Kudos to Que Mas! We will be back soon. read more

Food was excellent! My first bite brought me back in time to being a kid growing up in LA (kind of like that scene in Ratatouille) Service was also very good - my wife has a gluten allergy and the staff was knowledgeable, welcomed questions, and made sure her food was safe. The kitchen also made sure it had an "allergy" notice with the plate. Great vibe inside as well - felt like a place we could sit and eat a meal, or get a drink and some apps. Can't wait to come back! read more

Excellent food, great service and a fun vibe! Very easy to park with a MBTA garage located directly behind the restaurant.

Awesome experience. Food was exceptional. The table split pretty much everything so we could try different dishes: ceviche, grilled plantains, mussels, bavette steak, Caesar, and corn raviolis. Mussels in particular were great; the best mussel dish I've had in a long time. Drinks were really good too, particularly loved the twist on a Corpse Reviver with pisco. I saw a three star review on here that said food and service were great but it just "wasn't her vibe"... what a ridiculous thing to do. I can't imagine knocking a place down for no reason other than some odd whim of personal preference. Que Mas is inventive and fun and most importantly delicious. read more

fabulous service - Utku took very good care of us... appreciated a tableside visit by one of the head chefs... a truly memorable meal!

We made a last minute reservation here for my husband's birthday after leaving another restaurant where we were seated at the bar, despite the birthday reservation made well in advance. Needless to say, we were not in a good mood when we arrived, and the staff at Que Mas entirely turned our night around. Everyone was polite and professional, the music was cheerful, and the food and drinks were exceptional. I thought the night was going to go poorly, despite my advance planning. Thanks to everyone at the restaurant for making the birthday special! I would highly recommend this place and definitely plan to come back. read more
