Kitchen hours

Q'Paso Ayer's kitchen is open Wednesday to Saturday, 6:00 pm to 3:00 am. That means you can eat from the early after-work hours all the way to the small hours, no rush — perfect for dinner before you go out or a craving after the dance floor.

Late-night kitchen

The kitchen doesn't close early here: you can eat well past midnight. It's the spot for that after-dancing hunger, or to start the night with a proper dinner on Calle Uruguay — no rush, table full.

What to order at Q'Paso Ayer

To nail the order: start with something to pick at (mini empanadas, tequeños or wings), move to a shareable main like the skirt steak or the tortillas, and pair it with house cocktails from $7.50. In a group, the Wings Platter (30 wings, three sauces) is the table's star.

Eating in the heart of the night

Eating at Q'Paso Ayer isn't just any dinner: you're in the heart of Calle Uruguay, with music, atmosphere and the party about to start. Dinner and night out in one place, no transfers.
