Mexican Cuisine
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.

I've been going to Qudoba for few years now. I tried different locations and so far I liked the Rockville location quality better than others. What I love about this place is you get a good food with a good price, in a quiet spacious place and off Rockville Pike, really close to my home. Even though I like this place a lot and it became my Mexican fast food first choice over the time, there are couple of Cons I have to share. I have to admit the quality of the ingredients is better in Chipotle compare to here. I just feel they are more fresh and the heavy traffic in Chipotle' assures you the materials haven't been standing there for a long time. If I want to grade the quality, I would give Chipotle 8/10 and Qdoba 6/10. The other problem is the difficult communication you may have with the staffs. They barely speak En and this makes it really hard when you need to explain what you want. If you go further than the routine process of making your burrito, and ask a question about something or have another request, you have to call the supervisor who btw never smiles! If you are student, you have to be there on Tuesdays!! Your food will be half price by presenting your student ID and you would be amused how much would be your whole food after all!! Even without the student disc, I think the price of the entrees are moderately less than Chipotle. Given all of these, I love this place and I just got used to going to Qdoba esp on Tuesdays!! ;)

Mexican foodies really should go to Chipotle not here, because the care coming from the culture and the quality of the ingredients is far better. Visiting from Chicago, this first Qdoba Grill visit will be my last. The taco shells and chips are made so cheaply with a ton of air mixed with the corn and a lack of thickness, that my 3 tacos completely fell apart when I tried to pick them up, and when I tried to use the chips to pick up guac or their mango stuff, the chips were a constant hassle of untrustworthiness. Gross, gross. The culture of the staff is to rush and demonstrate lack of care in the transparent view of the creation of your food. Rushed food making and high-pitched beeping machines quickly will set you in to a McDonald's ambiance than anything comforting. At least Chipotle's music is legendary in it's artistry and design.

Truth be told, I prefer Qdoba over Chipotle and I'm truly a fan of this location. I don't know how they stay in business because there's never a crowd when I come here. However, I'm not complaining because I'm in and out of there in a flash. Whenever I come here, I'm always greeted in a friendly manner. On top of that, they're not conservative with their portions. They're QUITE friendly (a major plus). Everything is also quite fresh too. So, this Qdoba gets thumbs up across the board (boarder, HA HA!).
(4)Alex H.
The only reason I go to Qdoba to begin with is because the half-off for student discount on Tuesdays. The staff is not very friendly, unless you're a Spanish speaker, and if anything it's frustrating trying to communicate with them due to the language barrier. The staff always becomes aggressive and rude when I ask for a little more guacamole after they have just served me what looks like a teaspoon; they really make it seem like they are paying out of pocket for my meal. Just to further elaborate the guacamole situation at Qdoba, one of the staff gave me a very stern lecture on respect and that I shouldn't ask for more. I JUST WANTED A LITTLE MORE GUACAMOLE. You really are better off going around the block to Chipotle where they give an enormous portion of guacamole. Also, stay away from that cheese sauce unless you're looking for a colon cleansing.
(2)Sandy B.
YES! Thanks for the fresh lemon for my unsweetened iced tea. Oh, and everything else was great too. BTW: My friend said they don't charge extra for guacamole, unlike the C place.
(4)Weson I.
New employees are super skimpy, waste of time and money.. they prob have living social deals because no one comes here anymore. Going to Chipotle from now on... The old pics may be nice, but your food will only be half of that for the same price with these new employees. They also seem to ignore me when I asked for something.. like I will forget it and take a 1/4 burrito and pretend like its ok.
(2)Kim A.
I've been coming here for a while since it's in a more convenient location for me than Chipotle. While I still adore Chipotle, and for years thought nothing could top it, Q'doba started to grow on me. Their food isn't as saturated with seasoning, and just has a lighter, fresher taste. Plus I love the option for a crispy tortilla salad bowl. The line is always relatively short at lunchtime, and you can always find a seat. They have plenty of sliced lemons and an assortment of hot sauces to top off your meal. The menu is actually more extensive that I'd originally thought, and they have dishes like "Mexican gumbo" in addition to the expected burritos, bowls, and salads. They also have a breafast menu -- I still intend to try a massive breakfast burrito someday -- and some pretty good cookies and brownies by the register. Tuesdays are "student/teacher night" where from, I think, 10am on you get 50% off an entree and regular sized drink with a school ID. Even though I usually don't get a soda with my meal, you can't beat that deal. If that's not enough, queso is now free so burritos can be cheesier than ever! And last, but not least, they have a loyalty program where you can earn free meals with your purchases. It takes a while, but it's totally worth it.
(4)Racquel W.
Great service! Everyone is super friendly! Not to mention that the food was delicious! I got the quesadilla & my dad got the quest burrito
(5)Evonne L.
Why have I been hating on this place for so long? My HH (handsome husband) and I have been passing by this location for a year, seeing how seemingly empty it was and questioning how they stayed in business. A few weeks ago I had a coupon (yes, I'm Chinese I use coupons, WHAT!) and decided to give it a try. WHOA. Good stuff. The bowls are made like Chiptole but wait for it.. they have OTHER things too! Like nachos and taco salads. And they're all equally delicious! I've read that they have improved their quality and cleanliness and I think they are going to start doing big things. I told said HH that they're like Taco Bell, but minus the grade F meat. Definitely more quality and similarly priced to Chipotle at around $7 an entree.
(4)Dave F.
Restaurant & its qualities: probably still the same. The reason for the update is Qdoba recently increased their prices across the board by 20%. I happened to stop by the day this happened, and this location's manager was there trying to convince folks that paying 20% more ("just a little", as he called it) for the EXACT SAME THING they bought for 20% less the day before was worth it because it would be "so much easier". I've run my own business. I have two degrees from a leading university. Yet even I wasn't smart enough to realize how hard a time I had been having ordering a burrito. Thanks, Qdoba, for implying I'm an idiot and using that as justification for jacking your prices. I'm a real fan of this location and its staff. Too bad I won't be going back until the old prices return. If you need me, I'll be at Chipotle.
(2)Nicole R.
Had a coupon for free guacamole & chips. This is some of the better guacamole I've had at a "fast food" chain. The chips were made in-house and absolutely perfect. Light & crispy, not too salty with a touch of lime. I could live off their guacamole. Looking forward to trying one of their burritos at some point, for sure.
(4)Tara B.
Workers speak very little English so be prepared to repeat yourself. I think their prices went up since they changed the menu. I love the freshness of the food, but make sure you get your money's worth..
(3)Deidre C.
My first visit here was great! Food is delicious and there is a good array of options. The queso dip is AMAZING. It has just the right amount of spicy-burn and was my favorite part of the meal. The staff was very friendly and willingly answered my questions since I had never been before. I look forward to eating here again next time I am down the road.
(4)Aaron G.
I tend to like QDoba better than the other competitors. They seem to have the best recipe for quick service guacamole. Their steak and chicken also had good flavor. Seasonal items like their mango taco salad is a perennial favorite of mine. Tonight it was not on the menu so we went for the queso diablo burritos. Sweet and spicy. Nice mix This particular location is always staffed by genuinely nice people too. On this particular visit I marked them down only because they were not able to keep up with cleaning the tables off as the food does tend to spill out.
(3)Dakota F.
Love this place always show up on Tuesday half off students. Staff are great all around from the cashier to the managers. If you see one of the mangers odds are they will give you something free or at least spark up a friendly conversation. There used to be a tow truck guy who hung around the restaurant god this guy was an asshole one time my friend's car was parked a bit over they line the tow truck guy asked "is that your truck" my friend admitted it was his and the tow truck guy said "move it I'm about to jack your shit up". The same guy has blocked my way while trying to extort a drop fee from a woman who went to the bank across the street which is not even legal in Maryland! Needlessly to say fuck that guy. Haven't seen him around qudoba in over a year so looks like they made the right move.
(5)Heather J.
One of my friends has always said that he likes Qdoba better than Chipotle, and I always called him a weirdo, despite the fact that I'd never tried Qdoba. Well, friend, if you're reading this, I'm sorry. Qdoba is great! I like that they offer pre-designed combos, so you don't have to be creative if you don't want to, but you can also choose your own toppings if you'd like to do that. I got a salad with chicken, veggies (p.s. love that they have roasted veggies!!), lots of salsas, beans, and mango salsa. The mango was awesome. It totally bumped the whole dish up a notch. Everything was fresh, the restaurant is very clean, the employees are friendly, and the price is right. I'll be back!
(4)Alex P.
I accidentally left this review for Chipotle on Rockville Pike back in April, it's meant for Qdoba. I JUST realized my mistake. Back in April 2014, one of the managers (named Sebastian) gave me a free brownie when I was missing a dollar. This guy hooked me up and I still remember. I went there a few times in a row just because of how pleased I was with their customer service. Definitely recommend!
(5)Julie H.
Im so glad I tried this place as soon as I passed by it because it is great. Its your similar concept to chipotle, but the food is different because it offers a lot more than what you would find at Chipotle. They have taco salads to burritos and much more. Its much more customizable (not really a word?) allowing one to be able to pick different sauces and spiciness levels. I enjoy their food and the staff was really friendly. The portion size and price was fair. There should be more locations since this one is far from where I usually am.
(4)Josh S.
Had a catering delivered to my Office and the food was delicious! The gentleman Sebastian who delivered it was very polite and kind. He explained everything to me in details and set up the lunch perfectly. Thank you Qdoba for a amazing lunch.
(5)Fred-Patrice B.
This isn't our favorite location, but it's good. Their sizes can be inconsistent, sometimes your burrito is loaded and sometimes it's a bit skimpy. However, they are generous with chips, which is needed to scoop up every last bit of their salsa roja. A bit tough to get into, especially weeknight evenings. Folks block the entrance waiting for the light and the entrance is narrow. Tuesday's are buy one get one 1/2 off for students AND teachers. The place is crawling with crazy teenagers on Tuesday. We parked in the back to avoid their crazy driving antics.
(4)Dan M.
I used to be a big fan of the Q, mostly because of the comparison to the much more popular but undeservingly so chipotle. Ordering here is the same as there - you choose your burrito, meat, veggies, salsa, and they whip it up in front of you. Unlike chipotle, though, the Q offers delicious gumbo and other soup options as well as some unique signature burritos. My favorite is the queso burrito, which is actually just a normal burrito but with their queso sauce. That sauce adds some great flavor, though. Really good stuff. The issue is that since my earliest forays into the fast food mexican world, I've found places that will give you a freshly pressed tortilla with your quicky burrito, and that makes such a huge difference. I've never found a chipotle or qdoba that will provide that godly service for you, and the burritos suffer as a result. So, while my old favorites are still here, they don't quite satisfy like they once did. Closing thoughts: when I came, it was raining, but they have a little patio area out front with tables that looks.like it could be a nice lunch option when the weather's nice.
(3)Andrew P.
I prefer Qdoba over Chipotle because of the variety they offer. I'm a fan of the Craft 2 concept, which allows you to get two of their main entrees. It's just a shame that the nearest location to Germantown is this one in Rockville after the Gaithersburg location has closed. My only complaint is that sometime they do skimp a bit on the meat. If you kindly ask them for a bit more, they put more.
(4)Danielle C.
Great food & great service. I just used them for catering a volunteer dinner and was extremely pleased. The food was delicious and they were very helpful with delivery and set up. I would definitely use them again.
(5)Martha M.
Love this place. Been here a few times, they are always friendly, the chicken always taste delicious and fresh. I love the cheese sauce lol . It's not a 5 star restaurant, but for a fast food place.. They offer great and fast service .
(5)Jim P.
Review: This review is for the breakfast burrito only. Very solid burrito and it was packed with meat, eggs, potatoes, salsa, cheese, etc. You can choose what you want on it. I didn't even know this place was open for breakfast. This is a delicious and very generous breakfast burrito. Cost: Less than $4 Service: It was quick. There were no lines and no waiting when I went at 9am. Note: Parking isn't the best. Their napkins are way better quality than most fast food places.

Nice people, huge portions. Salads are overflowing

I've heard about Qdoba quite a bit from friends, and decided to pop my Qdoba cherry just this week. Whist the first day I went (I went back the next day for a burrito) I got myself a delicious taco salad, complete with a taco shell bowl. Reminded me of the good old days when I used to get a taco salad at chi-chi's. The one disappointment with the bowl was that I forgot to mention black beans ( I used to hate them as a kid, but now, i'm quite fond of this add-on). The taste was fresh overall, and for the $7 something I spent, it was much enjoyed. I chose not to get a drink because of course.. the other perfect enjoyment to go alongside the salad was the fact that Kenny's Sub shop is right across the street. There is nothing better than some crack iced tea. If perhaps you're not aware of kenny's... you're missing out on the beauty of a homemade Arnold palmer inside a wonton soup container, half frozen with a lemon. By far, the most delicious purchase for just a $1.75. My second experience (day 2) at Qdoba was less than disappointing. I got a burrito, white rice, black beans, pico de gallo, lettuce, corn, sour cream and cheese. Seeing as how Qdoba is similar in nature to Chipotle, I decided to try their chips. The Taco Salad shell was quite tasty, so their chips should follow in succession. I'm not a huge fan of Guacamole, but on occasion its nice, I accompanied the chips with the guac side option. Again, I made it across the street to Kenny's for their Tea. (the other day I parked at Kenny's and walked over, today the opposite.. the signs say possibility of tow). So, the burrito wasn't very amazing, while fresh in taste, it was missing a big part of the flavor I was hoping it'd have. About half way through the meal.. it started to come back up (not sure if this was an error on my end or something with the food), regardless to say, I won't be getting another burrito here. The chips, oh god the chips... completely wasted. I ended up taking a bite out of 2 chips before deciding the salt factor was too overwhelming and throwing out the lot. The guac took a tumble in the trash as well, after glimpsing at the shear color that seemed a bit expired (it could've been fresh, i'm not a guac expert, but after that burrito I wasn't taking another chance). The breakdown: The pros: Amazing Taco Salad with Taco shell bowl ++ Kenny's across the street +++++ The cons: Burrito which hit my gag reflexes --- Chips and guacamole ---- Result: I'd rather get Chipotle and Kenny's, and if I find myself back here.. I'll be sticking with the Taco Salad w/Shell Bowl.

My wife had heard about how great this place was and wanted to try it. So, being that we were in the area and hungry, we stopped in. The portion size is great, and overall it is a good value for the money. We both got the bowl, and were both stuffed when we finished. The food is equal or better then Chipotle and overall I was very satisfied. The only drawback, which has nothing to do with the restaurant, is the parking. It can be a little hard to get in and out due to traffic on Rollins.
(4)Orlangela A.
She said..."So this place is eh. Went here because we have never tried it before, but we should have just went to Chipolte. I got the chicken quesadilla and my hubs got the tacos. Neither looked that good...I mean it was okay, just not great. You can get way better at Chipolte for the same price. They also wanted to charge 2$ to taste their queso dip, ummm i think not. Their guac wasn't good either. We also heard that people wait around this place to tow people that walk away from the restaurant, so make sure if you park in front of the store you literally walk in and right back out to your car. Don't walk around or you might not have your car there." He said..."This place is alright, but we won't be going back. Their food was fresh but it just didn't have that "wow" factor. There is a reason we have never gone there in the 4 and half years we have lived here. I mean the service was great, but the food was kind of bland but spicy. No flavors that came out of your mouth and said hey that is really good. We kept an eye out for my car to make sure it didn't get towed just in case we accidentally jumped the property line. Oh right, I went to get queso for my wife, and for a small dip cup they wanted $2.20...I told them no thanks. $2.20 for cheese...cheese...let me say that again cheese...."
(2)BamBam P.
I love this qdoba. The customer service is wonderful and granted they are a little more expensive than chipotle, I would pay the extra for variety of food on the menu and the quality of food is so much better. they are never crowded, so i'm always in and out; parking is never an issue. I got a side of chips to serve 3 people for $1 and at chipotle they fill 1/4 of the bag and charge you $2. I wish there were more qdobas. I am team qdoba all the way.
(5)Good E.
its on par with chipotle but not as good as taco bell in terms of cost i got crunchy tacos with ground beef so im going to hindu hell. but yeah they were ok. the counterstaff were nice, the place was clean. and it is conveniently located in the shopping center
(3)Shachi B.
I cannot review the ambiance. I cannot comment on the merits of Qdoba's Mexican authenticity. I can however tell you, their Mexican gumbo makes for a tasty lunch! Came here for school, graduated to the high life. No. Wait, that's a song. *regroups* Their Mexican gumbo starts out with rice, layered with beans, tortilla soup and the regular toppings. I chose sour cream, tortilla strips, cheese and salsa. Yes, at 7 bucks, it was more than pricey, but for a hearty lunch/dinner (linner?), I didn't mind ponying up the cash. There aren't a hell of a lot of choices for good soup in Rockville, and this gumbo certainly did the trick! Check out the picture for proof!
(3)Deborah N.
This review is for breakfast only. PROS Very quiet spot to pick up a good, cheap breakfast, I had a breakfast burrito with egg and potato. Coffee is only 1.09 with free refills. CONS I was the ONLY customer in the place. You have no idea how uncomfortable that made me. The ONLY employees did not seem to speak English. The roof was leaking because of the rain (sad). RESULT I would try breakfast again at Qdoba but not this one.
(3)Olga T.
My family and I had dinner there a few months ago around closing time. We left and my MIL had forgotten her purse but when she went back they were closed. We called several times with no answer. Then she got a call from someone saying they found it and would put it in the mail. Needless to say we never got it back and when I called the corporate office, they barely did anything. I have a feeling someone from the restaurant took it. The food is not that great and I will not be returning to that place again. If you do go, make sure you take everything with you or you will never see it again.
(1)Ralph K.
Food is good but most (not all) of the morning staff seem miserable and they take it out on us customers. The morning manager lady will talk to you while looking everywhere but at you as she figures out a way to tell you "No". I once asked for a burrito with just potato and chicken. She got frustrated and told me no more breakfast burritos because there was no more eggs made. I never asked for eggs on my burrito. Then she just turns around with out saying anything to me and has someone else make the burrito.
(1)Katherine L.
Always a quick in and out. Great food and good service.
(4)Keny Ñ.
Mornin staff is always slow...... and i can usually go without the a.m. attitude.
(2)Abegail A.
Has the potential to be better than Chipotle, but Qdoba falls short. I got their shredded beef burrito with bell peppers, cilantro-lime rice, black beans, hot salsa, sour cream, and cheese. Meh. The beef had no flavor and the rice was mushy. Their "hot" salsa wasn't hot. Bleh bleh bleh. No bueno!
(2)Scott H.
The towing company sits in the restaurant and waits for people who do not go directly into it. Went around the corner to drop something off at a friends and my car was on the truck when I came back. My lunch cost me $60.
(1)Jeff S.
I'm not a huge fan of the burritos, but dear god their Chicken Quesadilla is good. I could probably eat it every day for dinner and not get sick of it for a while. Conveniently located and good prices. They have special student nights and occasionally other promotions. The outdoor seating is nice, and the music they play is pretty good too.
(5)D R.
A knock-off of Chipolte's, but not as good in my opinion.
(2)Robin S.
I've always had good service and the place is reasonable clean. Like the 'naked' burrito with Chicken. Decent value for the price and food seems fresh. Edited to add: The towing at the restaurant is AGGRESSIVE be careful parking here.
(3)Derryk A.
Can't stand Baja Fresh and since California Tortilla had been going down hill recently, I need a Chipotle but with a bit more variety. Ahhh enter Qdoba, what better way to bring a little southwestern sunshine in on this cloudy rainy day of car shopping. Like Chipotle they have huge filling burritos here plus more. From breakfast to dinner they cover burritos of grilled chicken, pulled pork, shredded beef, grilled steak, ground beef with loads of extras and toppings. Tacos expect to see all of the above plus taco salads. Quesadillas, tortilla soup, nachos, tortilla chips, meals for the kiddies and more. They feature their on signature sauces, salsas and smashed Guacamole. Give me the hotsauce....cie....Que Padre If you are really in a hurry order on line and it will be ready when you are. They even do catering for your group of fellow muchachos. Arriba! This location has a slim parking area but I have no problemos con parking there I even use the parking when I go to get my "Bubble Tea Cafe" fix just a few doors down. Overall good service at least they are on point so far and very decent fast food. Not much to complain about here maybe come up with the ever elusive fish taco. Qdoba it's just bueno food when you need it good and fast.
(4)Hue K.
I go casual tex-mex, mexican or just simply can-get-burrito place often for light meal.. Qdoba is similar to California tortilla, Baja fresh or chipotle. I think ingredients are fresh and it's not Great but it's not bad either. Nothing very special though.. Not free salsa bar like Baja fresh, no option for low-fat cheese or sour-cream or huge-portion for salad option, burritos are not huge as chipotle.. BUT... you can try it when you are so tired of all these locations:) At least, Qdoba has something new, mango salad.. that other places don't.
(3)Meggie C.
this place sucks. hate the food. everytime ive tried it i got sickkk. will never go back
(1)Christian M.
What to say about this Qdoba? I usually go to this location on Tuesdays for their awesome student special (half off and a drink?!), usually packed on those days with college and high school student. I Can't complain about anything though, for that price the value is too great to pass up. I do like the fact that they have a far larger variety than some of the other Mexican Grills (Chipotle) in the area. I've come here with different friends and we always try to compare the flavor, some love it and some don't so I guess the taste is either to your liking or it isn't. Anyways, the Queso sauce is a MUST to get on any Burrito. Overall I can't complain, cool staff most of the time too. Wish they had Wi-Fi though.
(4)Dee B.
Based on my two experiences here thus far, I grant this Qdoba 3 stars. What I liked about both meals, one of which was dinner on a Friday night and the other was a dinner on a Saturday, was no wait. None whatsoever. The place was almost empty! The employees were generally friendly, and food was pretty good. I don't like that their chips are VERY salty, but guacamole is quite good for a cheapo quickie place like this. The taco salad I got the first time was tasty. The pork tacos I had the second time were not bad, except the meat was too wet/watery and everything (flour tortillas and meat) was cold by the time I sat down to eat it. However, they are generous with coupons. I was given a buy one, get one free entree coupon as I was checking out. So - I'll be back!
(3)Alex P.
I really didn't like the food all that much at Qdoba. Maybe it was because I love Chipotle or maybe my because my Burrito was a concoction made up of chicken, BBQ sauce, and Queso. Then again I tried the carne asada and still was not that impressed. I probably won't go back because even though this place is an pretty identical to chipotle, the food simply isn't as good, that's my opinion. On the flip side, they do offer more salsas, sauces, and selections than Chipotle. Oh yeah and QUESO!
(2)Nick C.
First off, the girls that work at this location are fantastic. They are fast and effecient, and so it all with a smile every day. That being said the star of this review can be found at any QDOBA, and is mostly still unknown to the masses... The Breakfast Burrito. Papas, juevos, pollo, salsa en un burrito pequeno...mmmmm! All for $2.65. Do it, love it, thank me later.

NEVER COME TO THIS QDOBA NEVER!!! I called an order of queso in, I arrived at approximate 2:00pm, said some bubble tea would be nice with my queso and chips so I parked and went to get my bubble tea before picking up the queso since I was going to dine in, my time stamp at "Bubble Tea" was 2:02pm, I got back to Qdoba and my car was gone, my time stamp at Qdoba was 2:06pm, I walked in and said my car was towed the manager looked in my face with a smile and said "yeah but that was like 20 minutes ago" I said Sir I just parked here 5 minutes ago, I was ordering queso. He smiles and in a condescending voice says "I'm sorry but I can get you the number" I said and how can I call my cell was in the car, so he walks outside, I got my food, I didn't even end up buying the queso I ordered, I felt the need to drown my emotions in something a little heavier. The manager the whole time I was in a moment is despair just was walking around grinning, he didn't even care. I showed him my receipts and he just nodded his head and smiled. A $16.00 cab ride and $ 140.00 fee for my towed vehicle for less than $10.00 of Qdoba's cuisine. Not worth it. Stay away from this location.... you'll be towed even if you are a customer and the manager will just smile in your face!

Qdoba is ok, but I still prefer Chipotle. I had a quesadilla here. They don't carry all white chicken so that's a negative in my books.

The only way I can describe the food here is bland and tasteless. I usually don't like mexican food that's overly spicy, but you have to make this spicy just to taste something. The tacos were so greasy it was disgusting, within minutes the shells are soggy and falling apart, yet for as greasy as the food is there is no taste to it at all. Finally, the food never seems to come out quite the way you ordered it. there's always something missing or something on your food you didn't order. The only saving grace for this restaurant is the portions, which are decently sized. I think Tace Bell is tastier and more authentic, I would highly recommend a trip there vs. Qdoba... it might even be healthier

Qdoba is a very nice place and has reasonably priced food and is in a nice area. While in the area, I love to stop by for lunch/dinner and then go to Trader Joe's / Microcenter. The staff there are so nice and friendly that I really enjoy the food as much as the people there! They are open at 7 AM and they have specials for students as well as promotions. If you ever run into the manager, he is such a great guy! Friendly and very attentive.

Boring, bland burritos. One, ok maybe two steps above Taco Bell.
(1)Steve M.
I grabbed lunch here for the first time, ordered the three tacos with shredded beef. The food was good, though there wasn't much and I left hungry spend just shy of $9. I ended up going to chipolte afterwards.
(2)A K.
I'm randomly really into Qdoba these days. It's no chipotle, but comes close and the queso that comes with queso and chips is REALLY good.
(3)gina h.
eww. just ewww. bad service, bad parking, employees can hardly speak and/or understand english, and even worse customer service. i'll pass. if you have a chipotle near you, make the drive!

Qdoba is like a Chipotle or a Moe's Southwest Grill, in that you walk down the assembly line and watch your burrito being made in front of you. In relation to the other burrito chains, though, Qdoba ranks high for me in the consistency department, as I have yet to have a bad burrito from here. I like that both the pinto and the black beans are vegetarian here, unlike other burrito joints. When I first tried Qdoba, I noticed how fresh the food tasted. I think that some people may find the ingredients bland; however, that is really up my alley since I am not a big fan of overseasoned and spicy foods. As for the meats, I can say that my husband seems to enjoy the chicken burritos that he gets here more than he likes the ones from other fast food burrito restaurants. I only wish that they would offer tofu as a "meat" here, as they do at Moe's Southwest Grill restaurants. As a side note, I reviewed this Qdoba since I mostly eat at this location but all that I have visited (11th Street in Washington, DC and the Cap Centre in Largo, MD) taste exactly the same.

Where have you been all my life?....I am sorry to cheat on California Tortilla but ever since I found YOU, yes, YOU Qdoba..... you are the reason I have been going to te gym regularly! This place is awesome....yes, gives you that guilty feeling afterwards...like it was soo good you had to finish the whole burritoooo!! yup! Little me..!!!!Try steak burrito with Poblano Pesto, or the Fajita Ranchera (no beans) add Guacamole burrito, their tortilla soup is good...WITH chicken!... I only go there once every week...lately once every couple of weeks...YES... I MISS YOU, Love, Maya

Love this place...I know chipotle is great, but I still think the qdoba steak quesadillas rock!
(5)Stess J.
This is the worst Qdoba! Its food is awful. I had a small complaint and the manager was VERY rude to me. They dont care about customer satisfaction. They will tow your car if you leave it there for 5 minutes while you walk to a near by store. They play really annoying music. They are not friendly to their neighbors. Don't go here. Instead go to the Chipotle near by in White Flint or Baja Fresh one block away. Do not support a rude corporation!
(1)BJ M.
Great service, great people, terrible food.
(1)Lisa S.
Each time I've been there and ordered a chicken-something, the chicken was dark meat and had skin on it. I hate chicken skin and dark meat so this place quickly became unappealing. There's a Baja Fresh one block north of this place so I go there instead and get white meat chicken and no skin. And no salsa bar, so it still loses to Baja Fresh. I did complain to Qdoba and they sent me a free meal coupon, but the replacement meal was the same thing. Everyone else that has a Qdoba nearby says theirs uses white meat with no skin. Why this one does, I have no idea.
(2)Ralph K.
Food is good but most (not all) of the morning staff seem miserable and they take it out on us customers. The morning manager lady will talk to you while looking everywhere but at you as she figures out a way to tell you "No". I once asked for a burrito with just potato and chicken. She got frustrated and told me no more breakfast burritos because there was no more eggs made. I never asked for eggs on my burrito. Then she just turns around with out saying anything to me and has someone else make the burrito.
(1)Katherine L.
Always a quick in and out. Great food and good service.

Mornin staff is always slow...... and i can usually go without the a.m. attitude.
(2)Abegail A.
Has the potential to be better than Chipotle, but Qdoba falls short. I got their shredded beef burrito with bell peppers, cilantro-lime rice, black beans, hot salsa, sour cream, and cheese. Meh. The beef had no flavor and the rice was mushy. Their "hot" salsa wasn't hot. Bleh bleh bleh. No bueno!
(2)Scott H.
The towing company sits in the restaurant and waits for people who do not go directly into it. Went around the corner to drop something off at a friends and my car was on the truck when I came back. My lunch cost me $60.

My family and I had dinner there a few months ago around closing time. We left and my MIL had forgotten her purse but when she went back they were closed. We called several times with no answer. Then she got a call from someone saying they found it and would put it in the mail. Needless to say we never got it back and when I called the corporate office, they barely did anything. I have a feeling someone from the restaurant took it. The food is not that great and I will not be returning to that place again. If you do go, make sure you take everything with you or you will never see it again.
(1)Christian M.
What to say about this Qdoba? I usually go to this location on Tuesdays for their awesome student special (half off and a drink?!), usually packed on those days with college and high school student. I Can't complain about anything though, for that price the value is too great to pass up. I do like the fact that they have a far larger variety than some of the other Mexican Grills (Chipotle) in the area. I've come here with different friends and we always try to compare the flavor, some love it and some don't so I guess the taste is either to your liking or it isn't. Anyways, the Queso sauce is a MUST to get on any Burrito. Overall I can't complain, cool staff most of the time too. Wish they had Wi-Fi though.

I'm not a huge fan of the burritos, but dear god their Chicken Quesadilla is good. I could probably eat it every day for dinner and not get sick of it for a while. Conveniently located and good prices. They have special student nights and occasionally other promotions. The outdoor seating is nice, and the music they play is pretty good too.
(5)D R.
A knock-off of Chipolte's, but not as good in my opinion.
(2)Robin S.
I've always had good service and the place is reasonable clean. Like the 'naked' burrito with Chicken. Decent value for the price and food seems fresh. Edited to add: The towing at the restaurant is AGGRESSIVE be careful parking here.

YES! Thanks for the fresh lemon for my unsweetened iced tea. Oh, and everything else was great too. BTW: My friend said they don't charge extra for guacamole, unlike the C place.
(4)Weson I.
New employees are super skimpy, waste of time and money.. they prob have living social deals because no one comes here anymore. Going to Chipotle from now on... The old pics may be nice, but your food will only be half of that for the same price with these new employees. They also seem to ignore me when I asked for something.. like I will forget it and take a 1/4 burrito and pretend like its ok.
(2)Brandon B.
Truth be told, I prefer Qdoba over Chipotle and I'm truly a fan of this location. I don't know how they stay in business because there's never a crowd when I come here. However, I'm not complaining because I'm in and out of there in a flash. Whenever I come here, I'm always greeted in a friendly manner. On top of that, they're not conservative with their portions. They're QUITE friendly (a major plus). Everything is also quite fresh too. So, this Qdoba gets thumbs up across the board (boarder, HA HA!).
(4)Alex H.
The only reason I go to Qdoba to begin with is because the half-off for student discount on Tuesdays. The staff is not very friendly, unless you're a Spanish speaker, and if anything it's frustrating trying to communicate with them due to the language barrier. The staff always becomes aggressive and rude when I ask for a little more guacamole after they have just served me what looks like a teaspoon; they really make it seem like they are paying out of pocket for my meal. Just to further elaborate the guacamole situation at Qdoba, one of the staff gave me a very stern lecture on respect and that I shouldn't ask for more. I JUST WANTED A LITTLE MORE GUACAMOLE. You really are better off going around the block to Chipotle where they give an enormous portion of guacamole. Also, stay away from that cheese sauce unless you're looking for a colon cleansing.
(2)Kim A.
I've been coming here for a while since it's in a more convenient location for me than Chipotle. While I still adore Chipotle, and for years thought nothing could top it, Q'doba started to grow on me. Their food isn't as saturated with seasoning, and just has a lighter, fresher taste. Plus I love the option for a crispy tortilla salad bowl. The line is always relatively short at lunchtime, and you can always find a seat. They have plenty of sliced lemons and an assortment of hot sauces to top off your meal. The menu is actually more extensive that I'd originally thought, and they have dishes like "Mexican gumbo" in addition to the expected burritos, bowls, and salads. They also have a breafast menu -- I still intend to try a massive breakfast burrito someday -- and some pretty good cookies and brownies by the register. Tuesdays are "student/teacher night" where from, I think, 10am on you get 50% off an entree and regular sized drink with a school ID. Even though I usually don't get a soda with my meal, you can't beat that deal. If that's not enough, queso is now free so burritos can be cheesier than ever! And last, but not least, they have a loyalty program where you can earn free meals with your purchases. It takes a while, but it's totally worth it.
(4)Racquel W.
Great service! Everyone is super friendly! Not to mention that the food was delicious! I got the quesadilla & my dad got the quest burrito
(5)Evonne L.
Why have I been hating on this place for so long? My HH (handsome husband) and I have been passing by this location for a year, seeing how seemingly empty it was and questioning how they stayed in business. A few weeks ago I had a coupon (yes, I'm Chinese I use coupons, WHAT!) and decided to give it a try. WHOA. Good stuff. The bowls are made like Chiptole but wait for it.. they have OTHER things too! Like nachos and taco salads. And they're all equally delicious! I've read that they have improved their quality and cleanliness and I think they are going to start doing big things. I told said HH that they're like Taco Bell, but minus the grade F meat. Definitely more quality and similarly priced to Chipotle at around $7 an entree.
(4)Dave F.
Restaurant & its qualities: probably still the same. The reason for the update is Qdoba recently increased their prices across the board by 20%. I happened to stop by the day this happened, and this location's manager was there trying to convince folks that paying 20% more ("just a little", as he called it) for the EXACT SAME THING they bought for 20% less the day before was worth it because it would be "so much easier". I've run my own business. I have two degrees from a leading university. Yet even I wasn't smart enough to realize how hard a time I had been having ordering a burrito. Thanks, Qdoba, for implying I'm an idiot and using that as justification for jacking your prices. I'm a real fan of this location and its staff. Too bad I won't be going back until the old prices return. If you need me, I'll be at Chipotle.
(2)Nicole R.
Had a coupon for free guacamole & chips. This is some of the better guacamole I've had at a "fast food" chain. The chips were made in-house and absolutely perfect. Light & crispy, not too salty with a touch of lime. I could live off their guacamole. Looking forward to trying one of their burritos at some point, for sure.
(4)Tara B.
Workers speak very little English so be prepared to repeat yourself. I think their prices went up since they changed the menu. I love the freshness of the food, but make sure you get your money's worth..
(3)Deidre C.
My first visit here was great! Food is delicious and there is a good array of options. The queso dip is AMAZING. It has just the right amount of spicy-burn and was my favorite part of the meal. The staff was very friendly and willingly answered my questions since I had never been before. I look forward to eating here again next time I am down the road.
(4)Han S.
I've been going to Qudoba for few years now. I tried different locations and so far I liked the Rockville location quality better than others. What I love about this place is you get a good food with a good price, in a quiet spacious place and off Rockville Pike, really close to my home. Even though I like this place a lot and it became my Mexican fast food first choice over the time, there are couple of Cons I have to share. I have to admit the quality of the ingredients is better in Chipotle compare to here. I just feel they are more fresh and the heavy traffic in Chipotle' assures you the materials haven't been standing there for a long time. If I want to grade the quality, I would give Chipotle 8/10 and Qdoba 6/10. The other problem is the difficult communication you may have with the staffs. They barely speak En and this makes it really hard when you need to explain what you want. If you go further than the routine process of making your burrito, and ask a question about something or have another request, you have to call the supervisor who btw never smiles! If you are student, you have to be there on Tuesdays!! Your food will be half price by presenting your student ID and you would be amused how much would be your whole food after all!! Even without the student disc, I think the price of the entrees are moderately less than Chipotle. Given all of these, I love this place and I just got used to going to Qdoba esp on Tuesdays!! ;)
(4)Julie H.
Im so glad I tried this place as soon as I passed by it because it is great. Its your similar concept to chipotle, but the food is different because it offers a lot more than what you would find at Chipotle. They have taco salads to burritos and much more. Its much more customizable (not really a word?) allowing one to be able to pick different sauces and spiciness levels. I enjoy their food and the staff was really friendly. The portion size and price was fair. There should be more locations since this one is far from where I usually am.
(4)Tim K.
Mexican foodies really should go to Chipotle not here, because the care coming from the culture and the quality of the ingredients is far better. Visiting from Chicago, this first Qdoba Grill visit will be my last. The taco shells and chips are made so cheaply with a ton of air mixed with the corn and a lack of thickness, that my 3 tacos completely fell apart when I tried to pick them up, and when I tried to use the chips to pick up guac or their mango stuff, the chips were a constant hassle of untrustworthiness. Gross, gross. The culture of the staff is to rush and demonstrate lack of care in the transparent view of the creation of your food. Rushed food making and high-pitched beeping machines quickly will set you in to a McDonald's ambiance than anything comforting. At least Chipotle's music is legendary in it's artistry and design.
(2)Aaron G.
I tend to like QDoba better than the other competitors. They seem to have the best recipe for quick service guacamole. Their steak and chicken also had good flavor. Seasonal items like their mango taco salad is a perennial favorite of mine. Tonight it was not on the menu so we went for the queso diablo burritos. Sweet and spicy. Nice mix This particular location is always staffed by genuinely nice people too. On this particular visit I marked them down only because they were not able to keep up with cleaning the tables off as the food does tend to spill out.
(3)Dakota F.
Love this place always show up on Tuesday half off students. Staff are great all around from the cashier to the managers. If you see one of the mangers odds are they will give you something free or at least spark up a friendly conversation. There used to be a tow truck guy who hung around the restaurant god this guy was an asshole one time my friend's car was parked a bit over they line the tow truck guy asked "is that your truck" my friend admitted it was his and the tow truck guy said "move it I'm about to jack your shit up". The same guy has blocked my way while trying to extort a drop fee from a woman who went to the bank across the street which is not even legal in Maryland! Needlessly to say fuck that guy. Haven't seen him around qudoba in over a year so looks like they made the right move.
(5)Heather J.
One of my friends has always said that he likes Qdoba better than Chipotle, and I always called him a weirdo, despite the fact that I'd never tried Qdoba. Well, friend, if you're reading this, I'm sorry. Qdoba is great! I like that they offer pre-designed combos, so you don't have to be creative if you don't want to, but you can also choose your own toppings if you'd like to do that. I got a salad with chicken, veggies (p.s. love that they have roasted veggies!!), lots of salsas, beans, and mango salsa. The mango was awesome. It totally bumped the whole dish up a notch. Everything was fresh, the restaurant is very clean, the employees are friendly, and the price is right. I'll be back!
(4)Alex P.
I accidentally left this review for Chipotle on Rockville Pike back in April, it's meant for Qdoba. I JUST realized my mistake. Back in April 2014, one of the managers (named Sebastian) gave me a free brownie when I was missing a dollar. This guy hooked me up and I still remember. I went there a few times in a row just because of how pleased I was with their customer service. Definitely recommend!
(5)Josh S.
Had a catering delivered to my Office and the food was delicious! The gentleman Sebastian who delivered it was very polite and kind. He explained everything to me in details and set up the lunch perfectly. Thank you Qdoba for a amazing lunch.
(5)Fred-Patrice B.
This isn't our favorite location, but it's good. Their sizes can be inconsistent, sometimes your burrito is loaded and sometimes it's a bit skimpy. However, they are generous with chips, which is needed to scoop up every last bit of their salsa roja. A bit tough to get into, especially weeknight evenings. Folks block the entrance waiting for the light and the entrance is narrow. Tuesday's are buy one get one 1/2 off for students AND teachers. The place is crawling with crazy teenagers on Tuesday. We parked in the back to avoid their crazy driving antics.
(4)Dan M.
I used to be a big fan of the Q, mostly because of the comparison to the much more popular but undeservingly so chipotle. Ordering here is the same as there - you choose your burrito, meat, veggies, salsa, and they whip it up in front of you. Unlike chipotle, though, the Q offers delicious gumbo and other soup options as well as some unique signature burritos. My favorite is the queso burrito, which is actually just a normal burrito but with their queso sauce. That sauce adds some great flavor, though. Really good stuff. The issue is that since my earliest forays into the fast food mexican world, I've found places that will give you a freshly pressed tortilla with your quicky burrito, and that makes such a huge difference. I've never found a chipotle or qdoba that will provide that godly service for you, and the burritos suffer as a result. So, while my old favorites are still here, they don't quite satisfy like they once did. Closing thoughts: when I came, it was raining, but they have a little patio area out front with tables that looks.like it could be a nice lunch option when the weather's nice.
(3)Andrew P.
I prefer Qdoba over Chipotle because of the variety they offer. I'm a fan of the Craft 2 concept, which allows you to get two of their main entrees. It's just a shame that the nearest location to Germantown is this one in Rockville after the Gaithersburg location has closed. My only complaint is that sometime they do skimp a bit on the meat. If you kindly ask them for a bit more, they put more.
(4)Danielle C.
Great food & great service. I just used them for catering a volunteer dinner and was extremely pleased. The food was delicious and they were very helpful with delivery and set up. I would definitely use them again.
(5)Martha M.
Love this place. Been here a few times, they are always friendly, the chicken always taste delicious and fresh. I love the cheese sauce lol . It's not a 5 star restaurant, but for a fast food place.. They offer great and fast service .
(5)Jim P.
Review: This review is for the breakfast burrito only. Very solid burrito and it was packed with meat, eggs, potatoes, salsa, cheese, etc. You can choose what you want on it. I didn't even know this place was open for breakfast. This is a delicious and very generous breakfast burrito. Cost: Less than $4 Service: It was quick. There were no lines and no waiting when I went at 9am. Note: Parking isn't the best. Their napkins are way better quality than most fast food places.
(4)Andrew E.
Nice people, huge portions. Salads are overflowing
(5)Orlangela A.
She said..."So this place is eh. Went here because we have never tried it before, but we should have just went to Chipolte. I got the chicken quesadilla and my hubs got the tacos. Neither looked that good...I mean it was okay, just not great. You can get way better at Chipolte for the same price. They also wanted to charge 2$ to taste their queso dip, ummm i think not. Their guac wasn't good either. We also heard that people wait around this place to tow people that walk away from the restaurant, so make sure if you park in front of the store you literally walk in and right back out to your car. Don't walk around or you might not have your car there." He said..."This place is alright, but we won't be going back. Their food was fresh but it just didn't have that "wow" factor. There is a reason we have never gone there in the 4 and half years we have lived here. I mean the service was great, but the food was kind of bland but spicy. No flavors that came out of your mouth and said hey that is really good. We kept an eye out for my car to make sure it didn't get towed just in case we accidentally jumped the property line. Oh right, I went to get queso for my wife, and for a small dip cup they wanted $2.20...I told them no thanks. $2.20 for cheese...cheese...let me say that again cheese...."
(2)BamBam P.
I love this qdoba. The customer service is wonderful and granted they are a little more expensive than chipotle, I would pay the extra for variety of food on the menu and the quality of food is so much better. they are never crowded, so i'm always in and out; parking is never an issue. I got a side of chips to serve 3 people for $1 and at chipotle they fill 1/4 of the bag and charge you $2. I wish there were more qdobas. I am team qdoba all the way.

I cannot review the ambiance. I cannot comment on the merits of Qdoba's Mexican authenticity. I can however tell you, their Mexican gumbo makes for a tasty lunch! Came here for school, graduated to the high life. No. Wait, that's a song. *regroups* Their Mexican gumbo starts out with rice, layered with beans, tortilla soup and the regular toppings. I chose sour cream, tortilla strips, cheese and salsa. Yes, at 7 bucks, it was more than pricey, but for a hearty lunch/dinner (linner?), I didn't mind ponying up the cash. There aren't a hell of a lot of choices for good soup in Rockville, and this gumbo certainly did the trick! Check out the picture for proof!

This review is for breakfast only. PROS Very quiet spot to pick up a good, cheap breakfast, I had a breakfast burrito with egg and potato. Coffee is only 1.09 with free refills. CONS I was the ONLY customer in the place. You have no idea how uncomfortable that made me. The ONLY employees did not seem to speak English. The roof was leaking because of the rain (sad). RESULT I would try breakfast again at Qdoba but not this one.

I've heard about Qdoba quite a bit from friends, and decided to pop my Qdoba cherry just this week. Whist the first day I went (I went back the next day for a burrito) I got myself a delicious taco salad, complete with a taco shell bowl. Reminded me of the good old days when I used to get a taco salad at chi-chi's. The one disappointment with the bowl was that I forgot to mention black beans ( I used to hate them as a kid, but now, i'm quite fond of this add-on). The taste was fresh overall, and for the $7 something I spent, it was much enjoyed. I chose not to get a drink because of course.. the other perfect enjoyment to go alongside the salad was the fact that Kenny's Sub shop is right across the street. There is nothing better than some crack iced tea. If perhaps you're not aware of kenny's... you're missing out on the beauty of a homemade Arnold palmer inside a wonton soup container, half frozen with a lemon. By far, the most delicious purchase for just a $1.75. My second experience (day 2) at Qdoba was less than disappointing. I got a burrito, white rice, black beans, pico de gallo, lettuce, corn, sour cream and cheese. Seeing as how Qdoba is similar in nature to Chipotle, I decided to try their chips. The Taco Salad shell was quite tasty, so their chips should follow in succession. I'm not a huge fan of Guacamole, but on occasion its nice, I accompanied the chips with the guac side option. Again, I made it across the street to Kenny's for their Tea. (the other day I parked at Kenny's and walked over, today the opposite.. the signs say possibility of tow). So, the burrito wasn't very amazing, while fresh in taste, it was missing a big part of the flavor I was hoping it'd have. About half way through the meal.. it started to come back up (not sure if this was an error on my end or something with the food), regardless to say, I won't be getting another burrito here. The chips, oh god the chips... completely wasted. I ended up taking a bite out of 2 chips before deciding the salt factor was too overwhelming and throwing out the lot. The guac took a tumble in the trash as well, after glimpsing at the shear color that seemed a bit expired (it could've been fresh, i'm not a guac expert, but after that burrito I wasn't taking another chance). The breakdown: The pros: Amazing Taco Salad with Taco shell bowl ++ Kenny's across the street +++++ The cons: Burrito which hit my gag reflexes --- Chips and guacamole ---- Result: I'd rather get Chipotle and Kenny's, and if I find myself back here.. I'll be sticking with the Taco Salad w/Shell Bowl.

My wife had heard about how great this place was and wanted to try it. So, being that we were in the area and hungry, we stopped in. The portion size is great, and overall it is a good value for the money. We both got the bowl, and were both stuffed when we finished. The food is equal or better then Chipotle and overall I was very satisfied. The only drawback, which has nothing to do with the restaurant, is the parking. It can be a little hard to get in and out due to traffic on Rollins.

Based on my two experiences here thus far, I grant this Qdoba 3 stars. What I liked about both meals, one of which was dinner on a Friday night and the other was a dinner on a Saturday, was no wait. None whatsoever. The place was almost empty! The employees were generally friendly, and food was pretty good. I don't like that their chips are VERY salty, but guacamole is quite good for a cheapo quickie place like this. The taco salad I got the first time was tasty. The pork tacos I had the second time were not bad, except the meat was too wet/watery and everything (flour tortillas and meat) was cold by the time I sat down to eat it. However, they are generous with coupons. I was given a buy one, get one free entree coupon as I was checking out. So - I'll be back!

I really didn't like the food all that much at Qdoba. Maybe it was because I love Chipotle or maybe my because my Burrito was a concoction made up of chicken, BBQ sauce, and Queso. Then again I tried the carne asada and still was not that impressed. I probably won't go back because even though this place is an pretty identical to chipotle, the food simply isn't as good, that's my opinion. On the flip side, they do offer more salsas, sauces, and selections than Chipotle. Oh yeah and QUESO!

First off, the girls that work at this location are fantastic. They are fast and effecient, and so it all with a smile every day. That being said the star of this review can be found at any QDOBA, and is mostly still unknown to the masses... The Breakfast Burrito. Papas, juevos, pollo, salsa en un burrito pequeno...mmmmm! All for $2.65. Do it, love it, thank me later.

NEVER COME TO THIS QDOBA NEVER!!! I called an order of queso in, I arrived at approximate 2:00pm, said some bubble tea would be nice with my queso and chips so I parked and went to get my bubble tea before picking up the queso since I was going to dine in, my time stamp at "Bubble Tea" was 2:02pm, I got back to Qdoba and my car was gone, my time stamp at Qdoba was 2:06pm, I walked in and said my car was towed the manager looked in my face with a smile and said "yeah but that was like 20 minutes ago" I said Sir I just parked here 5 minutes ago, I was ordering queso. He smiles and in a condescending voice says "I'm sorry but I can get you the number" I said and how can I call my cell was in the car, so he walks outside, I got my food, I didn't even end up buying the queso I ordered, I felt the need to drown my emotions in something a little heavier. The manager the whole time I was in a moment is despair just was walking around grinning, he didn't even care. I showed him my receipts and he just nodded his head and smiled. A $16.00 cab ride and $ 140.00 fee for my towed vehicle for less than $10.00 of Qdoba's cuisine. Not worth it. Stay away from this location.... you'll be towed even if you are a customer and the manager will just smile in your face!

Qdoba is ok, but I still prefer Chipotle. I had a quesadilla here. They don't carry all white chicken so that's a negative in my books.

Can't stand Baja Fresh and since California Tortilla had been going down hill recently, I need a Chipotle but with a bit more variety. Ahhh enter Qdoba, what better way to bring a little southwestern sunshine in on this cloudy rainy day of car shopping. Like Chipotle they have huge filling burritos here plus more. From breakfast to dinner they cover burritos of grilled chicken, pulled pork, shredded beef, grilled steak, ground beef with loads of extras and toppings. Tacos expect to see all of the above plus taco salads. Quesadillas, tortilla soup, nachos, tortilla chips, meals for the kiddies and more. They feature their on signature sauces, salsas and smashed Guacamole. Give me the hotsauce....cie....Que Padre If you are really in a hurry order on line and it will be ready when you are. They even do catering for your group of fellow muchachos. Arriba! This location has a slim parking area but I have no problemos con parking there I even use the parking when I go to get my "Bubble Tea Cafe" fix just a few doors down. Overall good service at least they are on point so far and very decent fast food. Not much to complain about here maybe come up with the ever elusive fish taco. Qdoba it's just bueno food when you need it good and fast.

I go casual tex-mex, mexican or just simply can-get-burrito place often for light meal.. Qdoba is similar to California tortilla, Baja fresh or chipotle. I think ingredients are fresh and it's not Great but it's not bad either. Nothing very special though.. Not free salsa bar like Baja fresh, no option for low-fat cheese or sour-cream or huge-portion for salad option, burritos are not huge as chipotle.. BUT... you can try it when you are so tired of all these locations:) At least, Qdoba has something new, mango salad.. that other places don't.
