Que Pasa

I can get it at any grocery store but there’s nothing like getting it straight from the tortilla chip factory. It’s kind of like ikea furniture it seems to add a little more.
I like my food but I’m lazy so being able to buy quesadillas and burritos to bring home straight from the deli is a plus. Not in the mood to eat and run? There’s a small area to eat in with a selection of drinks to wash your food down with. I shouldn’t forget the parking there’s always a spot and doesn’t cost anything.

Que Pasa gets Five Stars because of the following reasons.
Que Pasa Deli area is one of the Cleanest Food Prep Areas I have ever seen. During a past lunch visit to the Deli two employees where arguing about the safestest food preparation techniques passionately.
Que Pasa first located in the kits area of Vancouver but moved to Richmond to lower its production costs. I used to go the deli when it was in Kits.
Today when I stopped there for lunch on Vancouver to Stevenson bicycle ride, when I placed my order at the deli counter I asked the server if she had worked at the old location. She said yes and so did the Women that took my money at the till. That means two of the three people working at the Restaurant have been working for Que Pasa for at least 7 years (that when they moved to Richmond from Vancouver). That’s Loyalty.
Now let get to the food its good quality Mexican food with flavor not too much ingredients stuffed into and tortilla with fake flavoured hot sauce. I not sure if Que Pasa is «real thing» but when i was there two of three of tables that were taken at seating appeared to speaking Spanish while they were enjoying their lunch. I was at the third the table. I was also enjoying my lunch. Que Pasa has a good bicycle rack right in front of the Deli entrance. Great place to stop for lunch on a bicyle or any other way you can get there.

Que Pasa! Does that name look familiar? Well it should because you can find their products at local supermarkets. But at their plant site where al the wonderful products are shipped out from, there is a small Deli, Mercado, and Tortilleria.
In this unassuming, hidden store you can find a variety of Mexican goods from salsa to burritos to fresh tortillas to local Mexican drinks to Mexican glassware to cookbooks to piñatas! I don’t know too much about Mexican cuisine and cooking but it really seems as if you can find everything you need here!
The workers at this store are super friendly and very helpful, especially for the clueless ones, like me. I came here to specifically buy their salsa, guacamole and fresh tortilla chips. The Salsa is super fresh and has all the vibrant tastes of tomatoes, cilantro, onions and YUM! The Guacamole is on the expensive side but it’s super creamy and fresh and has little chunks of gauc in it, the way i love it! Their tortilla chips are the best, light and not oily, crispy but not hard, they are different than the typical store bought ones but definitely better tasting and worth the drive. And to end off this yumminess, a Mexican coke, which is made with sugar cane instead of white sugar. If you’re a coke enthusiast like me, you’ll appreciate this change. Love it! Next time I’ll try out their Mexican Hot Chocolate. Mmm…
They offer a lot of other types of pre-​made foods such as quesadillas, enchilada, burritos, tacos, and more from the deli. My boyfriend bought a burrito and it was packed with rice, chicken, cheese and the tortilla was soft.
There’s a small eating area as well, just in case you can’t wait for the drive home to eat all this deliciousness.
Overall, if you’re in the area or searching for some authentic Mexican goods, stop by Que Pasa!

The search for a molinillo (which is a Mexican hot chocolate whisk, FYI) brought me to this part of town. They were really friendly on the phone and even reserved a few molinillos for me just in case they’d be selling like hot tamales. If anyone’s interested, they were $ 5.75/ea. Well, I got what I wanted and perused through the rest of their small Mexican grocery and deli section. There are some hot sauces, salsas, sodas (they’ve got Peruvian Inca Cola! — exclaimed the bf), candy, various canned/​jarred goods, and of course the in-​house Que Pasa tortilla chips. I don’t really know my Mexican groceries, but seems like a small but comprehensive selection to me. For what it’s worth, I thought the prices were a bit expensive for the deli food because it’s all pre-​made and is nuked to warm. And besides, most of the ingredients are from the factory next door, so shouldn’t the prices be a wee bit cheaper?! But anyway, I digress…
I got the Tapa Tacos (two 4″ tacos — $ 5). The chicken was dry and bland, but the beef & bean was decent (tasted mostly bean though…). The fillings were piled high, and I piled them even higher with the self-​serve salsa bar (hot please!). Not as flavourful as La Taqueria, but makes up for it in quantity. I had some of bf’s tamale. Was pretty dry and didn’t taste corn — bland and meh.
The staff were all super friendly while we were there and patiently answered our questions — we were so indecisive on which soda to get! Would return for tacos if I were ever in the neighbourhood. There is a dine-​in area, and also a few picnic tables outside.

Always get my Mexican goods here. Never a problem with freshness. Their poco de gallo is yummy as is the guac.

Those small tortillas you get at Dona Cata can be bought here!
The Horchata that you’ve probably been accustomed to drinking on a hot summers day can also be bought here. They also have a mix that is sugar free, which leaves you the choice of adding your own sweetener.
Tamales, want to make your own? They have all the fixings.
So if you love everything culinary Mexican. Here is where you can find all that you need. Including their famous taco chips and salsa’s.
They also do take outs, caters and there is a little area where you can order and eat your food. From Tamales to taco’s to tortilla soup with a wedge of lime. The food is all very good here.
Maybe not as good as Dona Cata, or La Taqueira, but very close.
And they’re the best in Richmond. Bar none!
I was informed that eating here is like eating happiness.
And I thought. Yeah, Mexican food can be like eating happiness. Que Pasa?
So the next time you think south of the US border. Ask yourself: Que Pasa!

This is a pretty off the map place that is mainly a tortilla (and Tortilla chip) factory with a small outlet with other Mexican products. They have a nice little Mexican deli with a menu in the overhead. The food is made as soon as you order it. The food itself tastes unauthentic and pretty bland. There is something about eating Mexican food without any real authentic flavour to it. It seems very odd. Don’t get me wrong, the food is fresh and worth it… just unauthentic.
This is my go to place when buying tortillas. They have great prices and the quality is great. It’s hard enough to find corn tortillas anywhere in Vancouver… every time I have ever asked for them I get a clueless look from people at local grocery stores. Unbelievable. That is why this place is a godsend. Maybe it’s because there aren’t many Latinos in BC… I don’t know.
Overall, if you can find it, come. It’s worth the trip.

A super secret place where the Que Pasa manufacturing plant is located; there’s a self serve deli connected to it.
It’s a small place, serving fresh salsas, and Mexican deli items. A small shop is connected to it, in which you can buy sauces, salsas, and other Mexican products.
Their deli menu consists of burritos, fajitas, quesadillas, tamales, tacos, and tortilla soup. They make everything to order, and then there’s sauce and garnish station, so you can add even more salsa to your items!
Drinks are of a Mexican selection too: Jarritos, sangria (non alcoholic), Mexican hot chocolate, and Licaudos, which is a fresh fruit blended drink.
Prices are reasonable, and there’s also a free parking lot. Pick up a bag of the Que Pasa tortilla chips while you’re there too!
