Starting at a time when many restaurant businesses were forced to close their doors, CCQ has managed to flourish with hard work, dedication, and countless hours of perfecting their craft. CCQ is committed to providing not only a quality product, but also a quality experience, appreciating each and every customer that walks into their establishment, expressing that gratitude with every customer interaction. The CCQ brand represents not only ‘Chile con Quesadilla,’ it stands for ‘Customer Service, Cleanliness, & Quality,’ values that the CCQ team takes great amounts of pride in.
Utilizing those core principles, CCQ has grown exponentially since its inception, and in 2023, opened a Brick & Mortar restaurant, located at 227 N. Main St., in the booming city of Brighton, Colorado. The 140-seat restaurant gives off vibes of comfort and nostalgia, with a modern twist and an inviting family environment. It’s expanded menu features an array of 11 different styles of Quesadillas, with each option available as Tacos, Nachos, Sandwiches, or Bowls, with unique flavor combinations like the “Mac Daddy,” featuring slow cooked carnitas combined with green chile and cavatappi noodle mac and cheese. They also offer their signature sides to include their version of Mexican Street Corn, Cilantro Lime Rice, and Refried Beans. With a full bar, they serve multiple flavored Margaritas including their signature “Sassy Pink” margarita, which like any margarita on the menu can be made into a spicy or “Savage” version. 
Beyond the food trucks and restaurant space, CCQ is an innovator in the catering world, providing an array of services from buffet style, full service, and even private food truck services on request. They have catered for hundreds of clients across the Denver metro area, including large-scale corporate catering to include clients like the Coca Cola distribution center in Denver. CCQ has big plans for 2024, to include a second location in a location that will be announced in early Spring.
