Excellent Happy Hour and margaritas. They have some nice bar appetizers as well. The food is pretty good too!

Qué Pasa!? Stopped in this Mexican eatery for a snack to catch up with a friend. "Emma" was our server. She was very pleasant, outgoing, with a great sense of humor. If she wasn't bringing food to customers, she was cleaning tables and spray wiping menus. She's definitely an asset to Qué Pasa! Immediately after being seated, our drink order was taken, and a basket full of festive colored tortilla chips and a bowl of their salsa was delivered to our table. Their unique and different salsa has a mild chipotle flavor but packs a spicier aftertaste; it's different from typical tomato-based restaurant salsa - a taste sensation. We ordered off their Happy Hour $8 Appetizer menu. Our order of Guacamole Fresco, Flautas de Maiz, and an order of a shrimp and a fish tacos were all quite delicious. The freshly made in-house guacamole was plentiful and extremely good. I had a chicken and a carnitas flauta de maiz, which came topped with sour cream, a nice dollop of guacamole, pickled red onions, and salsa. The Seafood Tacos were excellent and very flavorful. Both were topped with cabbage, mango relish, and chipotle tartar sauce. Their mango relish really stood out with a big bang of flavor. They have Taco Tuesday specials that start at 3 PM. read more

Stopped in at Que Pasa in Atascadero last night for dinner. It's a little out of the way by the local movie theater. Interior needs updating but the food and service were excellent. The staff greeted us immediately with a smile and chips and salsa. The salsa is to die for. The Mexican food came quickly and the portions were big. We'll stop back for sure to have some more margaritas. You won't be disappointed. read more

We went on taco Tuesday a few weeks ago. Sat at the bar, was watching a game, got a few drinks & dinner from our server Omar. When it came time to pay, on the bill we noticed we got charged two extra drinks we didn't order. When we question it, he seemed confused by it & was arguing with us that it was right... and wouldn't even try to make it right by taking anything off. So we had to pay for the extra we didn't order. read more

Absolutely delicious!! We had the Camarones a La Diabla, the sizzler enchiladas (chicken with flour tortillas), the guacamole, and several margs! The sizzler was amazing!!! The best I've ever had! And the Mangonyada marg was fab! Definitely recommend this place. Bummer that they don't have more locations especially in NorCal! Our server Leah was WONDERFUL! She was meticulous in her work, extremely kind to us and my pup, and very attentive. Thanks, Leah!! read more

Shitty food incompetent and unhealthy Maybe the karaoke is cool but I'd only get a drink

Food okay, salsa mediocre. A friend and I had a couple of very good margaritas with sugar and salt rim, we love the margaritas here. However, we were going to leave to go get a salad, and the waitress stated that they had salad here. I asked if they had a Caesar and she indicated they did, I made sure it wasn't a kale Caesar and she said no it's a true Caesar. So we each ordered a salad. When my salad came, she started preparing it table side with chopped tomatoes, which I declined and canned Parmesan, which I'd also declined, but there was no egg or Caesar dressing to be made. The dressing offered to me was a cilantro cream and there was no Caesar dressing. Which is weird because they clarified that it was a true Caesar. I was charged $18. And tried to eat it with ranch dressing, but it was not good so I did not finish it. A disappointment. read more

1/5 Assistance + Balance - Cleanliness - Deliciousness - Environment - Long Version Assistance+ the host told us to pick whatever table we wanted, our server did a great job keeping our drinks filled and taking our orders, even taking one order back to be replaced. Balance - Price was greater than Quantity/Quality. Cleanliness - Sticky tables mean that dirty rags were used, the bathroom was gross. Otherwise not too bad. Deliciousness - We asked for guacamole that was literally just avocado, they put lime juice in it. Ordered the carne asada with absolutely no spice just cooked meat, came out spicy as heck, with a flame blistered green onion and a flame kissed chili on top, also some sort of spicy seasoned butter clump. They took it back, came back with the same piece of meat that looked like it had just been brushed off and thrown on the grill for another second or two which made it tough as heck. The reason we know it's the same piece of meat, is we took pictures of it to show our friends where we were and then compared it when it came back and just laughed. The birria tacos had no flavor at all, ironic since birria and itself is a bunch of spices ground up mixed in with meat stewed for a while and then the juices are used to flavor things. To come the leftover meat to toss the dog. The flan was pretty flavorless. Our server told us it was prepackaged pre-made stuff so that's not on the restaurant. Severely disappointed since this used to be a place I would frequent and this is the second time I've had a bad review for it. How unfortunate... Environment - Although the decor hasn't really changed much, the music was not on, nothing was festive or exciting, seemed like a lot of decorations have been taken down and put away, but the bar still looked okay and had two TVs playing sports. I wasn't really aware it was a sports bar. When que pasa opened they touted having over 100 tequilas as one of their greatest advertisements. I don't know if it's still the case anymore, and the place is become extremely lackluster. All in all, the only thing that was decent was our service, and it wasn't great. I hate writing negative reviews. read more

Que Pasa! - As our waitress said the flan was pre-made in a container. It wasn't bad just wasn't good. - Mexican Near Me - Atascadero, California

Ordered the carnitas burrito, absolutely no taste, bland as bland can be. My daughter ordered the steak burrito, that had zero taste as well. We both tried each other's burritos just to make sure. Not good, at all. The waitress was amazing, great service, super nice, unfortunately the food just not up to par read more

The food is good , and I have to say, their drink selection is pretty awesome, too. Today, I really want to give a shoutout to the amazing service we got from our server, Emma. She was the only one working the floor, and even though she had a little help, she totally knocked it out of the park! Her cheerful personality and attentive nature really made our visit special. She's wonderful. read more

Great food, awesome atmosphere and excellent service. Our server Maris was the greatest waitress ever!

Qué Pasa? This place has just what you need if you are stuck at Atascadero high school at an all day track meet in the cold--or a month from now, in the scorching heat. We always try not to order too much so I got the soup of the day and my wife got a veggie burrito. Both were excellent, and the kind waitress (excellent service) who recommended the soup was right. It was hearty and tasty, just a bit of cilantro and jalapeño, I think. With water, the bill came to 20 bucks. So, get the special soup of the day and then gorge yourself on chips and on Que Pasa's superb salsa! Even ordering only this, we had to take some of each dish home for next day's lunch. Yum! read more

First off, we've eaten here for about ten years every so often. The service has been pretty solid. Depending on the time of day or night you go, the staff always seems to be a mix of seasonal workers and seasoned vets. The chips and salsa are always good to start. And they are always patient with my boys when they order. The place is always relatively clean also. They can accommodate big parties as well. Oh yea, the margaritas are usually on point and delicious. It's a good spot to catch a game as well. I recommend giving them a try. read more

First off my husband and I were going to go to another Mexican restaurant. But my girlfriend who lives in Atascadero said we had to try this one as it was definitely better. My husband and I really like the food both of us had Carnitas dinners which is one of my favorites. Came with rice and beans, chips and salsa. I had a Cadillac margarita which was perfect. Our server was Leah and she was pretty busy. One of the bus boys he was tall with blond hair was very friendly and kept our water glasses filled. Came by and brought some containers to take home food. I also like sitting in a booth and it was a cute place very Mexican. read more

Good Happy Hour. Inexpensive happy hour food and margaritas. Very large quesadillas, enough left over for the next day. Nice decor.

Was served a Modelo Dark, on tap, 16 oz serving, and the beer was flat, as in hardly any carbonation or head of foam on the glass. not even a ring was left on the inner wall of the glass from a quaff. Burrito was only so so, also, filled with a lot of rice and a lot of sweet corn, and a little bit of strip steak. Like a Chipotle quality burrito, with tiny servings of quacamole and sour cream, as you'd get for a quesadilla, maybe like at Baja Fresh. This is a sit down and take your order type restaurant with expected 15 to 25% tip for quality of service, but the quality of the food for the price of a burrito is just not there, it's more fast food in quality and taste. I think I'll Que Passa next time on dinner here and try somewhere else, poor value and quality of food at this price point., read more

It's been a while since I was here last. Happy hour was excellent! Great prices, great service. Before Covid, it was packed. Tonight, easy to get a seat. Javier has been here through it all with an amazing smile and great service. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND, if you had a bad experience in the past, give them another chance. read more

Javier is always so friendly, amazing and one of the best waiters I have ever met . We have always had such great interactions with him. Today we got there he literally brought us our drinks before we ordered. He is top notch. If I owned a restaurant I would steal him and make him lead waiter. As we were leaving he came out the door and said goodbye. That's above and beyond a normal service. He's a super waiter This restaurant has become one of our favorites. Never disappointed in the many delicious entrees they have on their menu! Bravo!! read more

Haven't eaten at Que Pasa since pre-pandemic. Based on tonight's overwhelmingly positive experience, it won't be long before we enjoy their fare again. This review is for our meal only, delivered via GrubHub. Our order consisted of: - Pollo Asado con Mango - Street Taco Trio (we opted for asada and carnitas only) - Fresh Guacamole Pollo Asado - 5 Stars Beautiful presentation (even in a to-go container), generous portions of perfectly prepared chicken, vegetables, and chunky mango salsa on a bed of rice. Delicious. Taco Trio - 5 Stars Amply filled, perfectly seasoned, tender, juicy, and lip-smacking delicious. Guacamole - 5 Stars Always liked their guac, but now -- we LOVE it. Was it always THIS good? Amazing addition to our meal. Restaurants everywhere are facing and trying to weather unprecedented challenges along with related service issues. All the more reason to commend and thank the good folk of Que Pasa for working as hard as they do to serve our community, and to give them a well-deserved shout-out for serving up meals that are even better than they were before. read more

I ordered two chicken happy hour super nachos and paid for the food to go. Management came back and said happy hour is dine in only, they need to charge me again to regular price since order is to go. I asked nicely if they would honor my payment since there is no mention of dine in only on their website and I was already charged and any future visits I would dine in. I was given one complete and half an order of nachos. The cheese tasted like it was canned as well as the chicken. In the future, I am satisfied to pay more elsewhere. read more

We finally found our Mexican restaurant! We moved here 8 years ago and have been looking for "our place" since then. We fell in love with Que Pasa in Atascadero. We'd been on the search for a crispy beef taco. Most places only have soft tacos, and the few crispy tacos we found had stewed, wet, meat in them. Que Pasa's are flavorful shredded beef. I'm sure it's far from traditional Mexican food but it's exactly what we were looking for. A good crispy beef taco, cheesy enchilada, great rice and refried beans, and free chips and salsa as soon as you sit down. The restaurant is nicely decorated, very clean and service was great. Be still my beating heart! read more

I used to come here a lot for happy hour or a bite to eat for lunch when working in the area. Coming in on Sunday afternoon was different. The waitress seemed like she hated us even though we apologized for any diva requests we made (extra napkins, drink refills, to-go containers, extra salsas or chips) and her helper was super kind to us. The food overall was pretty good, it's pretty consistent overall. The salsa is always perfect!! read more

Understanding hospitality, i wont rate low beacause this is a frequent for us since our daughter loves it. The food was great like always but the service can improve, once again i understand the customer service business and we are not picky customers at all but we didnt really get checked on. 10 minutes on an empty cup waiting for refill, needed more tortillas, extra set of utensils and napkins. We had a young lady help us tonight i wont say names. To be fair im not sure if she was busy on the other side of the bar and if that was the case just give us a heads up next time. Like i said we are not picky customers just improve your service a bit more please. I still tipped 28% because i know theyre there for the money and maybe it was a just bad night for her, we all have those days. read more

Came today for an early lunch with my husband John and my parents to celebrate my and my husband's Anniversary.Been coming here for years and the environment is very cozy and the food is delicious and the service is great.One of my favorite places to come for a meal and to visit with my husband ,friends and family.I'd definitely recommend the fajitas and rice and beans which come with it and are enough for two people. read more

Wowie! Such polite staff! And such amazing food! Omg and the portion sizes: HUGE! We ended up having leftovers for dinner. We got the veggie enchilada and chicken fajita. Since i am a vegetarian but my bf is not, we asked them if then could put chicken on the side so we can share and they did. This is family friendly mexican restaurant which we loved! Also great outdoor dining arrangement during covid. read more

Que Pasa que Pasa!?!?! By far the worst dinning experience in a long time. Arrived around 5pm to meet up with the ladies to take advantage of Happy Hour and Taco Tuesday. After being seated I was greeted within minutes by my waitress. I made it very clear there will be others joining who will need water, chips n salsa, drinks and food. It took her about 15 minutes finally to bring my chips n salsa but no drink?! All I ordered was a vodka soda!!!? It took another 5 minutes to get my basic as beach cocktail! What the hey man!?!? Finally My girlfriend's arrived and we were in search for our waitress clearly she could see my table was fully occupied! No sign of her!? Finally we were able to chase her down to place our drink orders. My friend recommended to place our food order since they took a while... Come to find out it took over an hour and a 1/2 to finally get our food. Not once the she come to our table to tell us about the delay are to ask us if we need anything else well we waited. It was like pulling teeth to get more chips and salsa. She would bring the salsa but not the chips?!?! Another friend joined us and placed her order. Within 10 minutes she got her food yet we still did not get our food?! Did our waitress come out to check on us you ask... Absolutely not!! Come to find out there was another table who had the same experience! They basically asked to cancel their food order and bounced. Omar the manager tried to make it right but really how can you do that after we waited for food for almost 2 hours!? read more

I wouldn't come back. Rice was flavorless, beans were super sweet & tacos were salty. Not authentic :|

Was looking forward to having a meal after reading all the great reviews. We arrived and was told the kitchen was closed. It was 9:25pm. Bummed. Nothing we read said they closed their kitchen early. Told the waitress could they ask if they were willIng to cook something up since it wasn't even 9:30. She came back with a NOPE . I would suggest they update YELP and add that they close their kitchen at 9:25 pm not 10 pm as it's advertised. The bar did look cool and the free chips and salsa were good too. read more

I am picky with Mexican restaurants and went here because of a recommendation of a local. I was really pleasantly surprised how awesome it was. The food was amazing, with a selection that isn't at every menu of any Taqueria. The service was professional, quick and friendly (with a demotivated hostess, but she might have had a bad day). Prices are reasonable too and lots of families around. Go there and try it out- you won't regret it! read more

The food is so good and the service is fast and friendly. We live Margarita Mondays and Taco Tuesdays. Not to mention the generous daily happy hour! Yummy! read more

Since I've written my last review I have visited many more times. I usually opt to sit on the bar side, because I still maintain the service is better on that side. There is an older gentleman who is a great waiter on that side and really goes out of his way to make sure your drink is never empty, your chips are always refilled and you have everything you might need. The salsa is still one of my favorites in town, and you can't go wrong with their Happy Hour menu. Margaritas are the best in town. Love sitting on their outdoor patio on these 70 degree nights. read more

Quite a pleasant find. In a strip center just off the 101. Excellent services. Portions exceptionally large. And Great. I chose the Appetizer item Flautas-Beef, and which came with generous covering of guacamole, sour cream, on bed of lettuce. Table set with tortilla chips and some of the best medium to hot chunky salsa. Less than $10 read more
