Qdoba

Typical Qdoba location when it comes to ambience and options. Not very clean. We had to really search for a clean table despite many open tables. The worst thing is that the person behind the counter was beyond rude and was in some kind of a hurry. He literally threw together the meal and skipped over several items. I had to repeatedly ask him to go back and add things. when paying I gave him my Qdoba card and he didn’t add the points. He then printed out something and asked me to add them later. Basically it is a mismanaged location. Either they are shortstaffed or they hire incompetent and unhappy folks.

Nothing really special about this particular Qdoba but it does have the standards of other Qdobas so that’s nice. I only give it a four b/​c I’m personally a fan of the Qdoba franchise but if I weren’t, it would be a three b/​c of it being standard.

The queso is pretty good. The gumbo (tortilla soup) is my go-​to. You can add anything to it, just like a bowl and it has pretty good flavor. My only gripe is that the cheese isn’t really fresh shredded.

I’d give zero stars if that was an option. Went to grab a bite before a movie. Unfortunately my husband ordered the gumbo which had a hair in it. My steak burrito bowl had dry steak and the avocado tasted rotten. Overall a disgusting experience. We asked for a refund of the food and the guy said none of us has girl hair so how could a hair be in the food. Not my job to figure it out buddy that’s your job! Stick to chipotle!

The service here is spotty and the food is absolutely awful. The tortillas are never warm (even when asked) and they stick to the foil and anything they’re in. The rest of the food doesn’t seem quality either.

I have always like Qdoba because they offer ground beef. I am not too sure about the quality, but if I am eating out… should it really matter? We are never too sure about what REALLY happens to our food during prep are we?
So…it wasn’t until recently when my mom came to visit that I stumbled upon another greatness. Their brown rice. I typically get burritos from Qdoba (the queso burrito to be exact), but I wanted to try a bowl with their seasoned brown rice. It. Was. So. Good. I basically ordered a naked queso burrito with brown rice. Instead of the regular queso, I got one of the spicy ones. It was super delish and I now have a new favorite.
The service at this location was standard. They had everything ready for the line so it was in and out for me. The only thing missing was my Qdoba card!

Nothing fancy about this place. I ordered food online so it’s pretty much same taste as you see at every other qdoba.

In the entry of chain restaurants serving Burritos as Big as Your Head™, Qdoba ranks a fantstic choice. Great food, big portions, fully loaded nachos and burritos. If you’ve been to their rivals (Moe’s, Chipotle) you’ve essentially been to Qdoba.
What’s different? They have the better queso sauce of the three, and drenching a chicken burrito in melty queso goodness makes everything 100 times better. Granted, that comes at the expense of pouring a tiny sea of calories onto your plate, but if you’re going to a place that specializes in burritos the size of a new born child then you already know where your priorities are.

I am a veggie head so this review may not help you meat-​a-​tarians. I still prefer Qdoba’s grilled veggie burrito over Chipotle’s new sofrita (tofu) burrito. The grilled veggies they use are really fresh and includes zucchini and squash which I’m a fan of. I also like that Qdoba has a bunch of choices when it comes to the extra stuff like their mango mixture, fresh guac, and queso (for you cheese lovers). Also their lime chips are amazing and addicting.

I like this place for the gumbo, which is the same as their tortilla soup, but with rice and other toppings.
If I was going to rank this place, it would be under Chipotle, but above Moe’s. Actually a lot closer to Chipotle than Moe’s.
When you order chips and queso, they give you a ton of chips!

Qdoba definitely has more choices than Chipotle. This particular location has always been good for me. No problems with the line and my order. You get to add different types of melted cheese for dressing on the burrito, naked burrito (bowl), quesadilla and others.

This place is just like any other place that line you up like cattle to build your burritos or tacos in front of you. The food was good, but not great. I would go here again. The price was not too bad. I went at lunch time and was very surprised how fast the long line moved. I was in and out of there in 10 minutes. The restaurant was clean and seems to be sort of new. I will go here for lunch again. It is not a place I would take a date or anything… unless I was in 9^th grade. Then it would be HIGH CLASS. LOL

Qdoba, Moes, Chipotle, they’re pretty much all the same thing. Factory line burritos or tacos made to order. They’re good, but they’re not spectacular.
We stopped in to Qdoba for a quick bite between meetings, and the first thing I noticed was that nothing had any seasoning on it. My co-​worker was quick to point out, «That’s because they need to have versatile ingredients that work with every combination someone can think of.» That makes sense, and while that doesn’t make it terrible, it doesn’t make it good either. Personally, I think the food is too bland.
Price wise, it’s comparable to the other big burrito joints around, and the portions are just as large — if not slightly larger. It will certainly do the trick if you’re hungry, but if you’re looking for something with a little more flavor, then I would recommend Chipotle over Qdoba (or Moes).

In the Grand Olympics of the «Big 3» burrito joints (Qdoba, Chipotle, Moe’s — see my reviews for those spots as a reference) — Qdoba remains the underdog Gold medalist in many ways. Although it won’t win a gold medal for the all-​around (that glory remains Chipotle’s), they definitely win the gold for CHOICE, VARIETY, and PRICING.
Did I mention variety and tastiness? You can have your big ol’ burrito, soft or hard tacos, quesadilla, salad, etc., made in a line right in front of you a la the other competitors. The big difference with Qdoba (side note — they are also from Colorado, just like Chipotle) is the variety of flavors and sauces you can have mated with your entrée of choice — such as a Poblano Pesto Sauce, a 3-​Cheese Queso, etc. While they don’t have a free salsa bar like Moe’s, they do have Cholula and Tabasco at every table, and 4 – 5 varieties of salsa to choose from in the prep line.
The understatement of the year about Qdoba (my secret that keeps me coming back) is their «Craft 2» menu. Think of it like the Mexican-​style version of Panera’s «You Pick 2» menu. Here, you can choose from seemingly endless combinations of smaller versions of their entrees, and still end up with more than enough grub. Great if you’re indecisive or just want a quesadilla and 2 tacos or nachos and a burrito or a tortilla soup with a naked burrito or whatever for, like, $ 6 or $ 7 bucks.
Pricing — Qdoba has great pricing — I think they do «buy one entrée get one 50% off» all weekend long, and their service is always really quick. They also have a rewards card, unlike Moe’s and Chipotle, so you can earn free entrees or free chips and salsa.

During a small discussion I was having with a colleague in regards to which restaurant she thought was better (i.e. Chipotle or Moe’s), she happened to mention this place. She expressed to me that she liked Chipotle better but that Qdoba was better than both of them.
Well after telling me that I figured I would give this place a try and I did. When I first entered I was extremely baffled, and I’m guessing you are wondering why, well that is because when I entered this restaurant I immediately felt like I was in Chipotle. This places setup is very reminiscent of Chipotle so for a second I thought I was in the wrong place and was getting ready to turn around but I soon came back to my senses and realized that I wasn’t in Chipotle, but man olé man was I confused.
I then approached the serving area and ended up getting what they call a ‘Naked Taco’ which is pretty much a taco without the shell. And I have to say, it was quite satisfying. Now being that I have only been to this place once I haven’t formulated my opinion on whether this place is better than Chipotle however I do know that even though this was my first visit here I do find it to be, far better than Moe’s.
Not sure as of right now if it can replace Chipotle for you Chipotle enthusiasts especially since the inside of this place reminds me of Chipotle anyway but I do feel like if you needed to get your burrito fix that this would absolutely suffice.

Well a few bucks go a long way at this place!
Ordered the chicken fajita, brown rice, black beans, stuffed it with other veggies. It was very tasty. I’d definitely go back for a quick meal.

Still three stars but I have noticed an annoying unappetizing thing that they do. During off lunch hours the guacamole was sitting on the counter out of the case… My thoughts are if its good then it should be in the case… Also, even though I did not ask for lettuce, they just threw it on…

I’d give a half a star if I could. Terrible quality of food. DRY ground beef in the tacos and hard, UN-​crisp taco shells. Never going back. Will just resume going to Baja or Chipotle.

This is basically Chipotle (slightly cheaper than the one down the street) with pre-​specialized burritos, another sauce to pick from, and quesadillas as an option. Guacamole free of charge I think, but don’t quote me on that, I may have read the menu wrong. The pesto poblano burrito was really not a hit with me. The black beans were massively undercooked. The fajita burrito was okay, other than the onions being a little more raw than I’d like. Not bad for using the $ 5 gift certificate that came in the mail. Basically I’d go to Chipotle for a burrito, but I’d come here for a quesadilla.
===========
Update: Two and a half stars. The pesto poblano burrito was marginally better since the black beans were edible this time, but they were out of corn chile, oversteamed my burrito tortilla because they forgot about it, and burned my quesadilla. Not especially happy with service for barely average fare.

I went here since a young lady in my office knows the owner. Wanted to see if they served up the baby-​sized burritos and could give me the same bubble guts that my favorite McDonald’s Corp Mexican joint could do.
They didn’t disappoint.
I ended up having a burrito here and found that it was just as flavorful as Chipotle. Not to mention the fact that the ladies here don’t just go splashing condiments around like monkey’s slinging poo. You ask for a little salsa? They give you a strip. You want lots of guac? They give you a lump. But not looking like someone ground out a green dook on your tortilla.
The chips here were delightfullly light and tasty — I think I need to head back on a day when I’m ready to sleep after lunch. Plus I have a $ 5 coupon on my desk…
