Qdoba Mexican Grill

It was good. Ordered two burritos and the cost with two drinks was a bit pricey. Good customer service, friendly and quick service.

Great food but the dining room was hot on a 90 degree day and the young man at the cash register had no clue what he was doing. More training is needed for the team.

This is the most beautiful Qdoba I’ve ever visited.
The O’Fallon Qdoba moved a bit north on Hwy K and is now the next-​door neighbor of TOM+CHEE. I actually had never visited their previous location, but their new restaurant is flippin’ awesome.
Let’s start with the décor. Oh my god. I loved it. I wanted to live there. Lots of wood and gorgeous colors (e.g., creamy avocado green flooring near the front, deep purple seat cushions). The table near the front entrance was under an unusual light fixture I really liked – sort of an industrial chandelier.
Even the seating was interesting. They had your everyday tables and chairs, but they also had a couple of unique options. One was a long wooden bench that was set up with tables and stools. The other was a long, tall, cushioned bench that had been built into the wall, making it recessed. Tall tables and chairs were set up along the recessed bench.
This Qdoba also had a lovely patio area. They had more outdoor seating than any Qdoba I’ve ever visited.
Even the ladies’ room was decorated fantastically. I’ve never seen such a nice restroom in what is essentially a fast-​food restaurant. Just look at the pictures!
During my visit, I noticed several people were confused about where the line began. I didn’t see any signage, but the line begins on your left. Whether you enter through the door facing Hwy K or on the side of the building, go left. Here’s a mnemonic device for you: «Be deft; go left.»
My food was pretty good. I feel like you probably know what to expect at Qdoba. It’s like «Mexican Subway» or «Expensive Chipotle w/​More Options.» I had the Mexican gumbo – and this will sound like total BS – but it was one of the better bowls of Mexican gumbo I’ve had at any Qdoba. I think it was because they gave me a little extra liquid. I noticed an unusual number of ladle servings go into my bowl.
That brings me to my last point: The staff seemed a little new here. This is a Qdoba that moved, not a new Qdoba. I would assume the employees at this location also worked at the old location, but maybe not. Even if they did work at the previous location, perhaps they’re still getting accustomed to their new place.
I’m not going to take away a star for that, though. I had a good lunch at the q-​test, most q-​dorable Qdoba, and then I got to make a couple of puns about it.
