Why on earth did I go here? Errrrrrr. I don't know, actually. My friend in the area thought I was joking. It was quick and convenient and my mom and I were shopping. It seemed better than Olive Garden. It was a Wednesday night and we needed a spot of food to hold us over, and this seemed like a decent option... And it was CRAZY crowded. A line. At Qdoba. WTF. Apparently Wednesdays are the $3.99 chicken burrito + drink night. I thought they must be giving away beer or small/cute Mexican dogs or something. Seriously, lined up for QDOBA. The humanity. What does this tell me? That someone should open up a REALLY GOOD fast paced Mexi joint/taqueria in TC. And do this shit up right. Mr. Salsa (Chicago)...I have a business opportunity for youuuuuuuu! What else does this tell me? I will not be eating at Qdoba next time I am in town. The food is mediocre. The place was sort of a sty. The service was pretty slow (although very friendly). My mom and I both had salads with lots of "wet" toppings and unfortunate dressing. Hers had mango. MMM, ok. I do like the lighter options (naked burrito = no tortilla/rice, etc), but everything is pretty much fast food slop 'n plop. No free dogs or booze? Stop waiting in line! Bah Taco!

After several tries I've finally decided Qdoba is A-OK. But just barely. I am a Chipotle fan, always will be. So Qdoba is a tough sell to me since the flavor profiles are so different. My biggest beef with this location is that their sour cream and salsas are friggin' ICE COLD and they make anything I have them added to COLD. If I want a burrito, I want it HOT. If I want a taco, I want it HOT. Get this fixed, Qdoba! At least they do the $5 burrito plus drink deal on Wednesdays... that sorta makes up for the freezing condiments. Chipotle, you need to open up here...

I live in a major metropolitan city most of the year, less than three hours from the border, and I LOVE Mexican food. So. I think its fare to say i have fairly good judgement when it comes to reviewing the quality of "south of the border" cuisine. This place is a non-identical twin to Chipotle. If you've ever dined at a Chipotle then you've been to a Qdoba before. The menu's are almost exactly the same and the quality of the food seems to match that of the more famous sibling. The prices here might even be a bit better. For Northern Michigan this is the best fast food mexican spot around.

This is Mexican fast-food with less grease and more health than an authentic Mexican place. Food is decent, nothing spectacular, but definitely a pleasant change from most fast food options.

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
