Everything was outstanding! Great host, menu, flavors, wine pours! And an added value is the exceptional service. Ours came from Luis who is a hard working, personable employee who puts the customer first!! We dined at Que Pasa just before COVID and had to come back on our first trip back. We were not disappointed - excellent!!!

After years of coming here on our annual trip and receiving excellent service I was prepared to slam them when I saw the redesigned restaurant and the now aloof staff who treated us like we didn’t have a reservation and made us wait 15 minutes because they were saving many unoccupied tables for god knows who and acting like our reservation was less important. But then we got our food from the new chef and it was all delicious. From the bread served with a curry mayonnaise (out of this world) to my creamy carrot soup to the most amazing vegetarian dish I have had in ages (crispy funchi)…every morsel was tasty. And by the time we left after our full meal, the three top table we weren’t allowed to eat at because it was specially requested for someone else, was still vacant (along with the many four tops). All three of us enjoyed our meals but almost walked over the horrible initial service…I’m glad we didn’t.

Brunch at Que Pasa is a delightful experience. For around $32US you get to choose from a list of several styles of dishes and each dish is masterfully prepared. The portion sizes are small but with the ability to have five or six items with a wonderful desert at the end, makes it worth the price. The corvina ceviche was the best in Aruba, the beef with peppercorn dish was great. Luis our server and Denny at the bar made our visit relaxing and complete. Make this a must stop while in Aruba!

Food was average and although not very expensive, not cheap either. One of the dishes we ordered was a Ceviche as appetizer. Worst ceviche we ever had. Fish was tough and definitely not fresh. Taste was also mediocre. Service was good.

Que Pasa is a neat little place with an eclectic yet old school kinda feel. The service was very good. The food was pretty good but not great. We had very high hopes after some friends recommended it. The menu was limited also. The main issue was we had some insects constantly harassing us and my daughter was bitten a few times. Although the place did feel clean.

I think the thing that attracted us to Que Pasa was the eclectic menu and art! The menu did not disappoint! If you can’t find anything here… you must be on a liquid diet! It truly has a little something for everyone. My chicken teriyaki was delightfully savory and sweet! The server was attentive and professional. Since it is an Art Gallery, there are bright colors on the walls, pieces of art and a large stuffed tiger lounging on a chaise when you arrive. All in all a delightful experience with tasty food, generous helpings, great service and ambiance all in the heart of Orangestaad!
