What Is the Difference Between Queso Fundido and Queso Dip?

Editorial Team · 17 September 2026

Short Version: Queso Fundido and Queso Blanco Dip are two different cheese dishes on our menu, both at $14 and both offering house-made chorizo for +4. Queso Fundido is melted Chihuahua and Oaxaca cheese with fire-roasted poblano rajas, served with flour or corn tortillas. Queso Blanco Dip is a white cheese dip with a hint of jalapeños. If you want specialty cheeses and tortillas, choose fundido. If you want a straightforward white cheese dip, choose queso blanco.

What Queso Fundido Is

Queso Fundido on our menu is melted Chihuahua and Oaxaca cheese with fire-roasted poblano rajas, served with your choice of flour or corn tortillas.

It is listed at $14, and you can add house-made chorizo for +4. The name points to the blend of two named cheeses plus poblano rajas, which sets it apart from a single white cheese dip. Because it arrives with flour or corn tortillas, fundido is built to be portioned onto tortillas rather than treated only as a dip.

What Queso Blanco Dip Is

Queso Blanco Dip is a white cheese dip made with a hint of jalapeños, and you can add house-made chorizo for a heartier bite.

It is also priced at $14, with the same house-made chorizo add-on for +4. The description keeps it simple: white cheese and a hint of jalapeos. There is no second named cheese and no poblano rajas, so it reads as the more streamlined of the two options while still carrying a bit of heat from the jalapeños.

The Core Differences

The clearest difference is format and cheese, since fundido is melted Chihuahua and Oaxaca with poblano rajas while the dip is white cheese.

Queso Fundido names two specific cheeses, Chihuahua and Oaxaca, and adds fire-roasted poblano rajas. Queso Blanco Dip is described simply as white cheese with a hint of jalapeños. Fundido comes with flour or corn tortillas as part of the dish, while the dip is presented as a dip. The price is identical at $14, and both accept house-made chorizo for +4, so the choice is about the cheeses and the poblano rajas rather than cost.

How to Choose Between Them

Both dishes cost the same and both accept house-made chorizo, so choosing between them comes down to cheese type and how you eat.

Reach for Queso Fundido when you want the named Chihuahua and Oaxaca cheeses, the fire-roasted poblano rajas, and tortillas to build each bite. Reach for Queso Blanco Dip when you want a white cheese dip with a hint of jalapeños and nothing more complicated. Adding house-made chorizo is an option on either one, so you can bring chorizo into whichever dish you pick.
