Yep I've tried it, I bought it in one of those 'just add water' packs. It was pleasant enough, more of a bland taste, it's what you add to it which makes it.
From what I remember it is quiet expensive, thats why I bought a 'made up' pack as it worked out cheaper.
I've never bought is since as I didn't think the taste warranted the cost.

I feel pretty much the same about it as HappyHolidays - it's nice, but not worth the cost.
It's comparable, I think, to bulghur wheat and couscous, so you can use it in place of either of those.

Paleo maintenance rocks!
I make it into cold salads similar to bulgar wheat or couscous. I agree the taste is pretty bland but I like the slight crunchiness and the high protein content. And red quinoa is quite pretty. 
Just make sure you wash it well unless the box says you don't need to, as it has a natural bitter coating. And if you have a rice cooker it will cook really nicely!
