Qdoba Mexican Grill

They were crazy busy, so I expected a wait, but there was barely any. The line breezed right on through and the food more than met my expectations. Hopefully there will always be a Qdoba near me, so that I never have to settle for Chipolte again!

We used to love Qdoba. Back around 2008-​ish, they were our go-​to fast casual restaurant. So of course we were excited when lunch time rolls around and we happen to roll past a Qdoba while out of town.
First complaint– I do not see the word «naked» anywhere on their menu. What happened??? Fundamentalists complained? Gosh, we even created a home version of the Naked Chicken Burrito and its famous! Sigh.
Second complaint– no ancho chili. Whaaaaaaat?
Third complaint– I ordered a ground beef burrito bowl (Naked Beef Burrito Bowl) and I noticed how dry the beef was at the top. Luckily she scooped into the center. But they’d only been open a half hour! How old was this meat? And holy heck, it was So Greasy.
Fourth complaint– no flavor. None of us enjoyed our meals. My husband is furious we spent over $ 40 on this mess. We threw leftovers in the trash.
Fifth complaint– before leaving, I ran into the bathroom as an employee was leaving it. I did my thing and went to wash my hands but there was no soap. None at all. It was bone dry. The employee never mentioned it. Hmm. Maybe she went to get the soap and would be waiting outside? I mean, how did SHE wash her hands? There is a sign on the door stating that employees must wash their hands. So I leave, and I look for her. She isn’t concerned about soap in the least! She’s working in the kitchen. So I shudder and leave. Gloves or no gloves, that’s disgusting.

Attentive service, but more important, delicious food for a good value. Things like queso and guacamole are included in the price, and I must admit their Taco Mondays are a steal. I had a much tastier meal there than I’ve had at chipotle in a good while.

Poor at best, basically a worse version of chipotle. The spoons that they use are smaller than the ones at chipotle which leads to a smaller burrito
the taste is also just not there. it’s in the middle of the road between taco bell and chipotle. it’s a bit better than taco bell, but definitely not as good as chipotle. the «freshness» is also to be a bit lacking. They overcook their meat, maybe trying to mask old meat? Either way it doesn’t taste good.
Qdoba’s famed «Queso burrito» is basically cheap gas station queso poured into a subpar burrito to cover up the subpar tastes.
