Ke Pasa Mexican restaurant — Restaurant in George

Here is the second review after our three weeks in Plett. Over the past several years we have enjoyed (and written about) the Golden Palm restaurant, which was initially in town but moved a few years back to just below the Fat Fish, across the lagoon from the Beacon Island. Their bowls, poke and Itami, as well as their dim sum and potstickers were favourites. So imagine our disappointment last year when we walked across and they were gone! The place was empty😳

Now imagine our excitement to find a new Mexican restaurant there and to top it all, the familiar smiling face of Rob, who owned the Golden Palm! Welcome to Ke Pasa, which we were told was slang for "¿Qué pasa?", meaning what's up?

Since we both love Mexican food, me a little spicier than my wife, and it was an easy walk there, we were determined to try as much of the menu as possible😄 This menu has all the usual types of tortillas and other Mexican treats plus an intriguing section titled "Mexican Inspired Gringo Main Courses". One example is lamb chops in a smokey lemon, chilli, garlic and tequila marinade, served with charred corn on the cob, chunky chips and grilled limes. Sadly we never got around to trying any Gringo dishes as we were too busy eating Mexican.

Here's a rundown of what we did have, with photos. Chilli prawn tostados- 4 small round crispy tortillas with small prawns, guacamole, salsa, sour cream; all for R89! Pedazos starter plate, with nachos carne, 2 delicious jalapeno poppers, 2 chicken taquitos, 2 pulled pork tostades, guacamole. We had enchiladas and burritos and various hard and soft tacos, but rather than describe everything we ate in detail I'll put up the photos. Honestly, everything we had was delicious, which is why we ate there six times. My wife's favourite was the hard tacos with crispy fried fish and a garlic lime mayo. Mine was everything.

I must mention the home made jalapeno sauce. The best chilli-type sauce I have ever had. It's the green one in some of the photos. Unfortunately it's a...

What a magical little gem in Plett!!! The food is just magnificent, flavors blended and twist in your mouth!!! Dips that hopefully soon will be available in bottles to smuggle home!!! ❤️ Out Host Andrea is just such a inspiration and it's rare to see someone more proud of their delicious dishes and staff! We ahd the Corn hard tacos and choose 3 different types. They have ruined prawn tacos for me permanently as I know no other place can match their incredible flavors ever! Will have to make regular pilgrimages to Plett just for this!!! 😁 Our dessert was just as delicious. Already canceling our other reservations to come here again and sample even more of their...

Absolutely incredible experience! The food was bursting with authentic Mexican flavor — every bite was delicious. The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, but what truly made our visit unforgettable was the amazing service. Andrea, the manager, went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. All the staff was amazing. Their warmth, attention to detail, and genuine care for the guests stood out. You can really tell they love what they do. Highly recommend this place — we’ll definitely be back!(as we did 3 times in 1 week) Thank you again...
