FAQs About Miguel’s Queso
Can I add multiple proteins to one queso?
No, you can choose only one protein per order for your queso. Whether you opt for chorizo, pulled pork, or another protein, only one can be added at a time.
What comes in the Loaded option?
The Loaded queso is a flavorful upgrade that includes a mix of pico de gallo, jalapeños, sour cream, and chorizo. This all-in topping mix adds a bit of spice, crunch, and extra flavor to your queso for a richer, more satisfying dip.
Is this queso spicy?
The queso itself has a mild kick from the jalapeños and other seasonings, but it’s not overwhelmingly spicy. If you want more heat, the Loaded version with chorizo or extra jalapeños will bring a more significant spice boost.
Is it gluten-free?
Yes, the base queso and all add-on meats like chorizo are naturally gluten-free, making it a great option for those with gluten sensitivities. However, be mindful of any side items, such as tortilla chips, that may contain gluten depending on preparation.
Does the queso come with chips?
Yes, typically tortilla chips are included with your order of queso for dipping. These crispy chips are the perfect companion to scoop up the rich, creamy queso.
How many people does one order serve?
An order of queso is typically served as a shareable appetizer for 2 people, though it can also serve as a starter for one if you’re particularly hungry. It’s a great dish for splitting or enjoying on your own.
Is it vegetarian without protein?
Yes, the base queso is vegetarian on its own, so you can enjoy it without any added meat if you prefer. It’s a creamy, cheesy dip that’s perfect on its own or with toppings.
Can I get it without onions?
No, unfortunately, onions are cooked into the queso base, so they cannot be removed. If you’re sensitive to onions, you may want to consider another dish or ask for specific modifications.
Is this available for delivery?
Yes, queso is available for delivery through Midwood Smokehouse Delivery®, depending on your location. You can enjoy this tasty dip from the comfort of your home if delivery is available in your area.
Can I take it to-go?
Absolutely! You can order queso for dine-in, carryout, or delivery. Whether you want to enjoy it at the restaurant or take it home, Midwood makes it easy to enjoy this delicious dip however you prefer.
