Que Pasa Mexican Grill - RP

Que Pasa Mexican Grill just opened on Monday in the old Mesquite location on Mercy Rd. Menu looks pretty standard for a Mexican grill type place but they have a full bar which is rare in this part of the county, Mira Mesa especially. Looks a little pricey for Mexican in a gas station strip mall, but I will reserve judgement till I try the food. Curious if any hounds have been in yet.

I will also cross post on new places thread.

    Went there tonight. Was not impressed. Service was slow. The ceviche had only a faint hint of lime and was too heavy on poor quality tomatoes. The cameron en su suza, rather than advertised, had no tomato, no jalapeno, and no mushrooms. The chile verde pork was mushy even beyond what I would expect for pork braised a looooooooooong time. I'm not sure any orange liqueur was used in the margarita. Flour tortillas with the meal, with no option for corn.

    Not awful. I would rate it as slightly better than El Torito. But really too expensive.

      Bummer, perhaps they are still working out the kinks. I will give them a try in about a month or so.

      Thanks. Saw the coming soon banner a while ago. Place sat empty at least 2 years.

        Love the graphic on their menu, but "Carne Asada a la Olla"? Really? Perfectly grilled carne asada cooked in a pot?!?!??? Bet that's interesting ;-)

          Troubling. Good catch, appears there are a few cultural and typographical error on their menu.
