Fajitas pastor: I've never had better fajitas. Plenty of food. Good quality. Good flavors. Happy, friendly, professional staff. Fast service. Good prices, especially compared to the somewhat inflated prices found in the Destin area.

It had been a long time since I last encountered a Mexican restaurant of this caliber—authentically Mexican in flavor, generous in spirit, and executed with remarkable consistency. ¿Qué Pasa Mex? delivers on all fronts, offering food that feels genuinely rooted in tradition, paired with truly outstanding drinks and exceptional service.
The cocktails deserve special praise: bold, perfectly balanced, and unapologetically well poured. They elevate the experience from the very first sip. Equally impressive was the service—the waitstaff were warm, attentive, and genuinely joyful, making us feel not just welcomed but genuinely cared for throughout the meal.
Pricing is moderate, especially considering the quality and portion sizes, and there is ample parking, which is always a relief in the area. The ambience reflects thoughtful ownership: it’s clear the proprietors invested time, care, and intention into the décor, creating a space that is inviting, cozy, and full of character.
All in all, ¿Qué Pasa Mex? stands out as a benchmark for Mexican cuisine in Destin. I would not be surprised if, in the coming years, it earns recognition as the most relevant Mexican restaurant across the entire Florida Panhandle—or even the Emerald Coast. Highly recommended.

Hands down the most bland Mexican food I've ever tasted. If there was ever a spot that appealed to those who hate seasoning, and taste, this is it. I am not sure how you mess up a margarita, but they somehow accomplished that, as well. I recommend avoiding this spot. You could probably order Mexican food from Macguires down the road and it taste better. The service and atmosphere are the only redeeming quality to this place.

Everything was super tasty, service was on point. My only complaint is they use a brand of tea that's not my favorite, and my husband was a little disappointed by the amount of cheese on his food (can't remember the name, but it has a chicken breast topped with chorizo). Regardless, I still have leftovers I'm looking forward to.
