I finally got to visit Oaxaca after plenty of coworkers and family have been recommending it to me!…read more Oaxaca is located in a small corner plaza in Troy so there is plenty of free parking. Inside there is a small amount of seating, a few plastic tables and bar high top seating. Now to the good part, the food! My table ordered the salsa verde which came with chips, a side of rice, a burrito, and 4 asada(steak) tacos. The salsa verde and rice were okay, I wasn't wowed so I probably wouldn't order them again. But, the main dishes were definitely stand out delicious! The tacos came with a yummy red hot salsa and the seasoning on the steak was great!The portions were HUGE!!! In my opinion this balanced out the higher cost compared to other taco joints in the area. Needless to say, I'll be back!

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.

Great food for group dinner including a kiddo - who enjoyed his chicken tenders, rice and beans,…read moreand all the salsa and chips! Everyone enjoyed the meals - again wish the specialty tacos came with sides and that there are more seafood options! But this is a reliable and good Mexican place - always busy and even on this Wed night! It can get loud! Takes reservations if you have a large party which is a plus.

Decorations looked great. You think you're going to an authentic restaurant. Wow, we were so wrong…read more First, we had a hair in our salsa. Brought it up to the waitress and she stated can I get you some more? Then tostadas were stale and the ceviche fishy. We brought it up to her and she said ok and just took the plate away. Then the tequila clay cup had a leak and my drink was leaking out. My husband had the same type cup and it was dry underneath. The manager stated it was condensation. However, the liquid puddle around the bottom of the cup was getting larger and larger. Showed the manager again and he said (and I summarize) have a nice day....thank you for coming in....we are very busy every weekend. Horrible overpriced food for the service and quality.

You can smell the fajitas wafting from the kitchen once you sit down…read more Ordered guacamole, flautas dinner with beans only, chicken quesadilla dinner and one chicken taco and one chicken tostada. Corn chips are thick, crispy and a bit too hard. $53.19 The hot salsa is bad, better mixed with the house salsa. The guacamole doesn't have a ton of flavor, just creamy, still ok. The flautas are small, 4 small ones with the dinner. I asked for beans only and on the side, got beans covered with cheese. I had asked the waitress about the order being wrong. She looked agitated. She went to take my plate away. I said not to bother, I don't trust her to not spit in my food, she looked like she wanted to hurt me. The tostadas is covered with too much iceberg. The chicken quesadillas are thin and subpar. Meal was average. The service left a lot to be desired for me.

So being curious because it's close to my home I went and gave it another chance. Man, am I glad I did! The carne asada burrito made me feel like I was back in california! The berria tacos were so fire! The salsa was flaming hot with a great flavor! The Al pastor quesadilla was unreal! The guacamole made me feel like I was in Acapulco. The prices were kind of high but inflation is not our friend these days! The food is amazing and you must give second chances in life and this is the place I'm glad I have given a second chance. Since I have given them the second chance I now go there 1-2 times a week and they haven't disappointed me at all. They are very friendly and accommodating. I'm very happy with the service and the quality of the food.

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.
