Qdoba Mexican Grill

I freaking love qdoba! So many more options than other burrito places. Their tortilla soup is absolutely delicious… and vegetarian which is shocking and awesome. Their queso is tasty, and comes in a super spicy Diablo version if you’re into that. I come here whenever I get a chance!

Better than chipotle.
More options, like tacos. I ordered 3 tacos for $ 9. But they were DELICIOUS. Lots of different options. Tasty is an underestimate.
I like this place because most MEXICAN places offer low grade quality meat, etc — I did not taste that here.
I got my 2 y/​o a kids meal with a quesdilla, chicken. They even let me switch the drink option into another side for her. (no organic options for kids drinks)
They had seltzer water too. Yay!
The service was great. Would be nice if it was a little cheaper, but yummy! Wish it was closer too!

Better than Chipotle imo. The chicken here is always tender and flavorful unlike Chipotles. The tequila lime chicken is awesome! So nice to have chicken that doesn’t have fatty/​hard/​burnt pieces like Chipotle. The queso is great also and the steak is tender too-​also unlike Chipotle lol. Yes, the bowls/​burritos are slightly more expensive but they don’t charge for guac so in reality, it’s basically the same price as Chipotle. I also love the variety of things on the menu. They have grilled quesadillas, soup, tacos, nachos, and of course bowls and burritos. There’s also a good selection of toppings such as cilantro, chopped jalapeño, and chip slices. After 1000 pts, you get a free bowl/​burrito if you join their rewards program and a lot of the time if you look on your receipt there’s a short online survey you can take that will give you a code in the end to redeem for free chips and salsa. Chipotle-​take note. Love this place!

We drive over 25 minutes to get to this location. The staff and the manager are fantastic. This location is always clean and the food is always good! I only wish they would reopen a few of their old locations because we can only go on the weekends.

Great place. Yesterday was my second visit and I ordered a steak burrito bowl. All of the ingredients were very fresh. The steak was grilled to perfection and very tender. The staff was friendly and circled the dining room cleaning and straightening. Overall a great place and I will definitely be going back!

We used to go here an average of twice a month for lunch, but no more. The queso cups seem smaller than they used to be and they never fill it all the way, ²⁄₃ if you’re lucky. I do not think the price reflects that. Chips are insanely salty and burrito bowls mostly rice. I always ask them to go easy on the rice but they still shovel it in. They seem quite reluctant to give you an extra scoop of any of the veggies. The employees behind the counter can be rude, not all the time but more so lately. We are taking a break from here in search of somewhere better. It can’t be that hard to beat.

Items are always fresh. This location is well maintained and the staff are friendly, helpful and attentive. They offer one of the awesome soda machines where you can add flavoring to your soda which is awesome! Prices seem higher than chipotle and I am not sure why that would be. But I also don’t frequent either to truly know if one is better than the other. I definitely like this location and am never disappointed in the service or the meal.

My office & I get our lunch every so often from here. A few of us switch off & it seems like we have the same experience each time. We have been the only ones standing at the counter, one girl just looks at you, keeps fixing the plates & foil, no acknowledgement of when you will be helped. Finally a young man takes our order & if you ask for more on your burrito bowl, it seems like an annoyance. I know we aren’t crazy when saying this because other reviews expressed the same. One girl who previously worked there ALWAYS screwed up our order every time we went in. The food is decent; I would pick this place over Chipotle.

Always like the variety at Qdoba. Had a burrito bowl. Wasn’t up to having the queso diablo, wanna keep my tastebuds sharp. The bacon jalapeño queso was just spicy enough.

This place is off the charts … I only wish I lived closer! Everything is fresh and reasonably priced. The staff is always friendly and you’re in and out of there fast if need be. The variety of dishes keeps me coming back for more, top quality ingredients and great taste!
I’m getting hungry just thinking of it … only a twenty minute drive for me!

Very good experience. First time to Qdoba, we have been to Chipolte a few times and this, at least to us, is very similar.
The manager (or at least I think it was), saw us come in and blankly stare at the menus so he came over and helped us out. He answered a few questions then was there when we ordered. He also offered us a few chips to try out. It was nice as he genuinely seemed to care. Gold star!
Two thumbs up for the Coke Freestyle machine. I love those.

3 cheese nachos amazing and very clean. We don’t have qdoba in New York anymore was glad to get some on my visit

3^rd attempt and finally i can say «No More»…
or «Q-​NODA»
After placing an online order, their system said 45 mins for a pick-​up. So we wait. We wait the 45 mins and drive to pick it up. No order. Not found, not ready… noda.
For the third straight time, the order is incorrect. For the 8 bucks the taco salad cost, i was hoping to get everything put on it as requested. Nope. Got a little beef with ton of lettuce and beans with corn. Forgot the cheese and the sour cream I guess.
Last time i waste cash at this place.

Basically, this is a Chipotle with a more interesting menu and higher quality food. I know, I know, that’s controversial. Here are the five reasons why you should make this Qdoba your go-​to for burritos/​fast mexican.
1) Steamed tortillas. At Chipotle, they’re only heated. Burritos at Qdoba stick together so much better!
2) More variety. A delicious mole barbeque sauce. Three kinds of queso. Two types of rice. Five types of salsa. Quesadillas, tacos, salads, naked burritos… and the choice to combine smaller portions of each into a single entre.
3) Way more flavor. The brown rice is actually better tasting than the white. Now I like chipotle, but Qdoba goes gourmet. It is just more interesting flavor-​wise.
4) Great staff. They’re fast and nice, and they even remember me. Although that might not be a great sign for my waistline…
5) The drink machine. If you haven’t seen the touchscreen soda fountains, they’re worth a try! Near infinite beverage combinations. Makes the experience more fun.

I’ve been back several times and happy to say, food is always good, employees recognize a regular and talk with you! Nice touch!
Love the food. Great Job!

Qdoba is one of my favorite fast food retreats so when most of the west suburban locations started to close last year, I was ticked. The only one remotely close to me now is the one north of downtown Wheaton, on Main St.
A couple months ago we made our first trek over here. It took us 45 minutes but was completely worth it. The manager was very friendly and we’d mentioned our trip and love for the taco salads they made. She threw in free drinks to thank us for our loyalty and was great to talk to.
Tonight we went back only to find a note on the front door saying they were temporarily closed due to an electrical issue. We started to pull away when I decided to call and inquire if they’d reopen within an hour or so. The gentleman that answered was very apologetic and said to come back over because they were reopening in a minute. Ten minutes later we walked through the front door. and into a line of 20 people. The folks who work here bust their tail to make quality food very quickly, and are extremely friendly. Tonight, they also offered apologies for the wait. The same manager (brunette lady) was there again this time and was again overly courteous to us.
Fast food is fast food but some restaurants take it a step further and offer amazing service and great food. This Qdoba is one of them!

«Qdoba, great even after you find out they’re owned by jack in the box!»
The pick two with a chicken gumbo and naked steak burrito — that is a craving that will linger for days until satisfied. Always a fan, always will be!

This Qdoba is probably really similar to all the others, but since this is the one I go to, I’ll review it!
Good service. Even when there are crowds, the line moves quickly.
It’s similar to chipotle, but doesn’t seem as spicy as chipotles’ meat. The different salsas give the hot heads their choice.
Nice place, really clean, really good location in a strip mall. I’m glad it’s here because it replaced my beloved and now defunct taco fresco down the road.

Decent place to grab a great burrito!
The people there were really nice and always have a great smile on their faces.

Pretty good, exactly like Chipotle, but way closer for me… HELL YA!
I got a naked burrito, a.k.a burrito bol at the aforementioned resturant… extra for some extra veggies… in the words of Cris Carter…

I love getting double beans instead of rice. THIS P.E. TEACHER LIKES HIS CARBOHYDRATES COMPLEX, NOT SIMPLE!
