Que Pasa Tapas bar & Mediterranean Restaurant in Vale of White Horse

Best experience in Europe so far! We wandered in after seeing the sign describing the Tapas Lunch Special. Amina greeted us with such wonderful enthusiasm that set the mood for our entire experience. The Tapas were fabulous, we tried the Mushroom Croquettes and fell in love. We also ordered the Marinated Lamb dish that came with potatoes cooked with onions and chorizo... It was delightful. Amina was so happy we enjoyed the meal and suggested a dessert which was an almond cake with ice cream. We enjoyed it with an espresso to complete our wonderful experience. We highly recommend 'Que Pasa' so you too can experience 'what's up' in Abington UK. Thank you Amina for the wonderful time in your town😁

Should have been here before now! Food very very good, good service, good wine. It always looks quiet from the outside but please, please, please go in, you won’t regret It.

It was quiet when we visited on a mid-week lunchtime but so glad we chose this place. The food was delicious, we had the tapas lunch set menu which had all the variety you'd expect (one cold dish and 5 others), all super tasty, authentic and freshly made.

Anywhere that has chicken livers on there menu has to be an authentic Spanish restaurant . They were fantastic and if you are in abingdon try here as a real Spanish restaurant. The home baked torte to finish was a delight not too sweet. Defintely deserves a five star rating

We had tapas with wine and beer. It was the best restaurant meal we have had for a long time. So good that we returned again tonight. The vegetarian tapas are very tasty. So nice to get some yummy vegetarian food! Quite a wide menu, so plenty for everyone to choose. If we lived here we would definitely come every week!

Amazing food cooked by a lovely lady who also served us. Great ambience great service and we would recommend ….you won’t be disappointed. Thank u 🌸

We have been wanting to visit for a long time and finally got booked in. We were welcomed with a smile and shown straight to our table. It’s a lovely family run restaurant which was great to see. The food was delicious and the drinks were fab. We had a great time and will definitely be back. Thank you so much to young girl who served us! Great service, delicious food and fab drinks what more could you ask for!

My first time here, great food and friendly service. Enjoyed the mixed tapas as it meant trying some that I hadn’t had before. Definitely going back!

Over priced for the quality of the food. Left feeling disappointed. Mixed tapas at £19 per person and the fish option was from a tin of tuna….

De lekkerste witte cava sangria, overheerlijke tonijn en salade. Geweldig plek aan t strand voetjes in het zand, lekkere muziek, vriendelijk personeel, kortom aanrader!

Nice atmosphere . Very attentive service from the girls . Polite and helpful. Drinks excellent although the mahou beer was too gassy and had a growing head. This happens with kegs that are room temperature passing through an undercounted chilling coil rapidly. They need cooling jackets for keg or a cold room. I know what’s cheaper! Food was good quality but the quantity seemed a bit ad hoc. We ordered 4 mixed tapas but the dishes were so small for 4 people to share that we only had one meatball or one bit of cauliflower . The quantity we got for £88 was not acceptable or enough. It felt like what we got would have been perfect for 2. Sorry good but minus one star for measly portions. But we will try again as service was good and the food we got was good. I will return when they itemise the tapas on the menu so you know what you’ll get.

Our son was visiting Abingdon and we wanted to have dinner out and to catch up. Reminded us of some of the bars down side roads in Servile Good home made tapas. Service excellent, will go back.

Went to this Restaurent food was flipping amazing. Chef did extra dippy sauce with the garlic prawns. Every dish was cooked to perfection, Bobby was a perfect host, he is a new friend. The Chef came out for a chat she was lovely. This a local restaurent, fantastic food and service at a very reasonable price id say a bargain.

Wow! What a great restaurant. Fabulous food at a reasonable price. We had the mixed taps for 3 people (£20 each and worth every penny), plenty of food, excellent service. Best meal I've had in Abingdon in years.

The staff is very friendly and helpful and the food is amazing. Even the coffee at the end was good 😎 The prices are not the cheapest but the food is great and it was a very good family meal. We will for sure return. A nice spot in Abingdon.

The owner was lovely and we were made to feel very welcome. I think in the mixed options on the menu it should be clear how many dishes are in it or make sure you ask. If you are a big eater don’t go for tapas. The food was lovely and we enjoyed each dish. I would say the churros weren’t the best, too hard but that was all.

4 of us went for dinner and the greeting was good, service was good and friendly waiter. however we ordered 4 mixed tapas meal at a total of £88 and got just 10 dishes and one of them was bread, and didn't double up on anything work that one out..I have seen other reviews on here with people moaning about £6 a dish..ours came out at £8.80 Well overpriced and I think because we ordered like this we got less than we should have..for £22 each you must be getting at least 3-4 dishes per person surely? How can it be 2.5.. Sangria was watery.. Won't be going back..too pricey and I think the shortage of dishes was deliberate. Can't recommend at all

Last time we came gave it only 4 stars, this time it gets 5. Think the food was much better. In Spain the tapas has now become to fancy, at Que Pasa they have the basic and original tapas just right, thoroughly enjoyed.

So, start with the positive, it was busy on a Friday night which was good to see and hasn't always been the case since it opened. We have visited fairly regularly. Now for the negatives, Very slow service for tapas Very inexperienced staff, they missed an order, served my second glass of wine in the same dirty glass and dropped a dirty knife on me. The food, ok but has changed, cheap white baguette rather than nice brown rye bread and the halomi Is now fried rather than grilled.

Fantastic, food was excellent, service was outstanding, atmosphere was buzzing as it should be, like it would be in Spain. Prices were very very reasonable. This is family owned and run, it showed right from when we phoned to book. We were treated like family. Owner was laughing and happy, joy was everywhere. Best Tapas ive had in Uk and rivalled the best i have been to in Spain. THANKYOU. A gem of a place, go to place in Oxfordshire.

I'd read the mixed reviews- very sceptical but was I surprised! Fab hosts - made to feel very welcome. Surroundings and ambience - excellent. The food - well what can i say - perfect. We will be back .... soon Xx

The food was very good. We had the Chef's selection which came at a fixed price, but we thought it would have been cheaper to order each part separately - we paid £32 for 6 dishes and some bread. The first half of the meal was accompanied by really loud dance music. Thankfully the internet went down and this stopped. We asked for the bill, which didn't come, so we went to the bar to pay. We were initially charged about £10 more than it should have been. The owner apologised and said that he had mistakenly charged for a large glass of wine instead of a medium. There was no large glass on the menu. The next bill was about £6 overcharged. That was because we were charged for two meat options instead of two vegetarian options. This was a simple bill to calculate. Draw your own conclusions.

Very quiet restaurant on a Sunday Portions small and fairly expensive Most dishes were ok but not amazing. Greek salad was disappointing. Almond cake nice. Service not the best considering very few customers.

Having travelled all over Spain trying different tapas, and in England too, was a bit worried when I tried this restaurant as I had not heard of it, despite being fairly local. I was pleased to see they had not gone overboard on trying to be different with basic Spanish tapas. All the old favourites were there, and done very well. Had a very enjoyable meal, with very good service. Will go again.

Lovely food, really good choice of dishes. Charcuterie and cheese were great. Wonderful, attentive and friendly service. Highly recommended.

Called in on spec while visiting the area and so pleased we did! Our host Bobby was exceptionally friendly and we enjoyed excellent tapas - particularly the padron peppers and albondigas. Just wish this restaurant was closer to home as we would be frequent visitors!

Fantastic meal and very convivial hosts. Visited with 2 friends for dinner and received a warm welcome by all the staff. From the initial greeting it was clear we were going to have a good evening and we were not disappointed. One of my friends...

Have often looked to go in but prices seemed expensive but took the plunge recently. Specials board outside advertising a tapas and drink meal, enquired about it but that was a lunchtime deal...so take the board in please. Specials board inside advertising a lamb dish...

Excellent food, such lovely staff. We went for our first wedding anniversary and had a wonderful meal and will definitely go back. Fantastic range of vegetarian options

Twice I have visited now as seen the 3 tapas for £11.95. Pretty sure I made it clear I wanted this offer on both occasions, however when it comes to the bill they have other ideas. Was not told it was only on smaller tapas...

Great atmosphere, friendly, delicious home cooked food, the best place in Abingdon to eat. Am delighted with this new find.

Friendly and efficient staff, delicious food and great prices, what's not to love at this lovely restaurant.

Great service, great food, great atmosphere, just great all round!!! My wife had to stop me licking the plates clean!!!

Most tapas places in England are terrible. This place is run by Spanish people and so it mostly good. The waiter is awesome a real great friendly guy. The food is authentic spanish and is lovely. There are a couple of low points, the paths...

My girlfriend and I had a really special night of laughter, good food and great service here! Alberto was a terrific waiter and ensured that we were looked after.. we will be back!

We found this absolute gem in Abingdon with a wonderful selection of wines and tapas. Trying Pimientos del Padron and Chorizo al vino it’s a must! Excellent service & low waiting times. The atmosphere is cosy, soothing Spanish music in background, attentive waiters and a...

I don't understand how this place has had mixed reviews and there is a lot to like about it. Very smart, good atmosphere, an attentive and friendly host (Bobby, thank you), and very decent tapas at a reasonable price. How can you not like that?...

Celebration meal. We had a lovely meal great choice of tapas. Sangria and beer. Friendly staff great food. Relaxing atmosphere. Definitely recommend. We will be back.

Arrived in a good mood,left in a terrible moon after threatening violence to the manager. Was celebrating finishing a house and was drinking alone as was away. I paid £25 up front to pre order a paella. The chef lady was very nice and obviously...

The food arrived really quickly. It tasted exactly like the Tapas in Spain. The staff were really friendly and efficient. The price was really reasonable with large portion sizes. It’s in a convenient location. What is there not to like about the place.

Lovely Tapas and lamb special, all very fresh and tasty. Service was quick and the waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable . Will definitely come again !

We had a lovely tapas meal for four here this week. The food was really good and nice to support independent restaurant. Would highly recommend.

We went for a meal to Que Pasa in Abingdon and it was very much a disappointment. Service, food, and price were all sadly mismatched to what we had hoped would be a good meal with friends. Attention to tables: We joined our friends at...

Amazing tapa’s, fresh wonderful food with great flavours & friendly service, highly recommend this place for lunch or dinner

My partner and I had a lovely meal at Que Pasa. We ordered 7 tapas dishes and a jug of sangria. All of the food was cooked well and full of flavour. We really enjoyed our time and will definitely be back!

We have been to Que Pass many times, with family and friends, and have always had good food and service. They have a wide menu, the food is excellent, and the service is good and friendly. We have also had takeaway with them, and were...

Very attentive service in lovely surroundings. We had 4 tapas (highly recommend the whitebait and the cauliflower) followed by the traditional Spanish chicken paella. It was indeed authentic with delightful crunchy pieces of rice from the bottom of the pan. All accompanied by a very...

We were made to feel unwelcome at the point of entry as I was unable to hear her as I am a bit deaf. We asked for two glasses of water and ordered our meal which proved to be totally disappointing. The fries were frozen...

The food was really not terribly good and really disappointing along with our order being wrong which meant we couldn't all eat together. Very expensive for what it was. The venue was freezing and it had a very damp smell. Im sure lots of people...

Wwent to Que Pasa as a family group ( 5 adults and a baby) on a Saturday evening, early booking (6:00pm), to celebrate my birthday. I had been here before on a weekday lunchtime with a friend, and the food had seemed tasty, and the...

We really enjoyed the the ambiance of this restaurant, really like being in Spain ! Warm friendly welcome , cozy atmosphere and an eclectic menu

A quiet day in Abingdon so look for an easy lunch. Que Pasa is just the place. Good food and a warm welcome. Who needs more?

Lunch on Christmas Eve and was pleasantly suprised at how good the food was. We had five dishes between two. We both agreed that it was the best authentic tapas outside of Spain that we have tasted. Staff were very pleasant and made us feel...

Had a lovey meal last night. Restaurant is a nice size, smart and intimate. Lovely atmosphere too. Food was excellent, we had 6 tapas between two and it was plenty without being too much and each dish was lovely. Wine list looked nice and the...

This is the second time I have been, in the hope that the restaurant was just having teething problems the last time I visited, but both times the food was disappointing. The only saving grace was the good service and the wine. Food came out...

Absolute disaster, table of 12 and faulty towers springs to mind, dishes came out sporadically with 4 of the table not even getting anything, wrong dishes came out and for what you get its well over priced, never again worst restaurant in a long time.

Great service from all of the staff the and food was really tasty at a decent price. Restaurant is nicely decorated and ambience is good.

We came for a birthday celebration and so ordered sharing platters of tapas. I was extremely impressed with the range of tapas available, especially for vegetarians as I feel there were more than at other tapas restaurants I have visited. Every dish was delicious and...

Very friendly and helpful restaurant with a huge selection of tapas on offer. Our party of four included one vegan diner and we were offered an adapted tapas sharing platter to accommodate us which was greatly appreciated. All the dishes were quite simply superb. Clean...

It has been many moons since I lived in Spain but the food in this restaurant brought the memories right back 😋 we had a share platter and it was fantastic!!! So much amazing fresh cooked food!!! Thank you for an amazing experience ❤

This was my second visit and still fantastic food, with friendly service. Oh and the dessert, you have to try the Tarta da Santiago... fabulous.

Met here with friends for lunch. We all ordered 2 tapas each which was more than enough for a light lunch. Absolutely delicious. The halloumi was cooked perfectly and the patatas bravas was absolutely gorgeous. Toasted bread was complimentary. The almond cake and chocolate churros...

We had a fabulous meal tonight - the tapes were delicious, varied and there was so much we could barely finish all the food. Excellent value for money. The service was efficient and quick. It is a very welcoming restaurant and we were all in...

Abingdon desperately needs a good restaurant - sadly this doesn't fall in that category. We ordered a paella and was told it would take an hour, No probs as we had a cold meat platter and a bottle of wine while we waited and good...

This inviting Spanish styled restaurant and tapas bar is definitely worth a visit. Two friends and myself enjoyed a very delicious selection of tapas dishes from their extensive menu which in addition to the tapas dishes offers speciality dishes of the day and paella and...

Just been to this restaurant for the first time. Good atmosphere despite it being a lunchtime. Nice selection of Spanish beers. Opted for the mixed tapas to share and wasn't disappointed. Excellent selection, good portion sizes, hot food and very tasty. Staff very friendly. Hope...

Visited on a Friday not too busy. Decided to order some tapas and the paella for two. Tapas was ok but the mushroom was still cold in the middle. Paella was inedible resembled wall paper paste with no flavour chicken with bones in. Shocking really...

I went with friends for my birthday last night , we were very disappointed with the food , We had potato croquettes they were frozen in the middle so obviously wasn’t freshly made,We found that all the food was definitely not cooked from fresh. I...

I visited for a quiet mid-week lunch and it was lovely. The restaurant is pretty, the food is delicious, there’s a lot of choice, and the staff are friendly and welcoming. I was pleased to find they serve a tasty cava by the glass as...

We had a wonderful meal at Que Pasa, the choice of tapas is fantastic so we had to be selective! All the food was delicious and a good atmosphere. The manager was welcoming and even helped me practise some Spanish.

Tasty food, we won't be going back on the basis that they served tuna as part of the vegetarian tapas selection. Later realised this dish was even labelled as vegan on the menu...

We visited Que Pasa for the first time at the start of June 2021 for our son’s birthday. It had only reopened a few weeks previously, and is still relatively new to the area and as such it isn’t yet really well known locally. However,...
