Qdoba

We had Qdoba cater a party for our son and 20 or so of his friends at our home. We ordered the «naked burrito» bar, and added on tortillas, queso, and fajita veggies. The young woman who delivered the order was prompt and professional, and had the whole burrito bar assembled in 15 minutes. The food was hot and fresh and plentiful — we had leftover even after hungry teenagers made several trips back for more. The price (which includes chafing pans to keep the food warm, as well as plates, napkins, and plastic forks, spoons, and serving utensils) was very reasonable. I would definitely do this again!

I love qdoba but this one in Woburn is not my favorite. I come often because its near my job and I order online because time is usually tight. And every single time I order online I come here and its never ready to be picked up it’s never even started! So I end up waiting longer than I would if i just came here to order it. Whats the point of ordering ahead if I have to wait even longer, defeats the purpose. Get it together.

Today September 17 at 9:45pm I entered this restaurant they were 15 minutes from closing but my presence did not phase them. they serve me with a smile gave me extra portion when I asked for it and provided me with a great service.
I asked for iced tea they do not have any other than the bottled iced tea and after sitting down for a moment one of the employees came up and gave me freshly made iced tea from outback. For me this was something that an employee went above and beyond.
Upon leaving this restaurant I had to give five stars to the employees of the qdoba Mexican Grill.
Incredible customer servicer

The veggies are not cooked enough and they’re huge. They definitely need to be cut up more. Being charged more to add queso to the salad is not worth it. Waited a long time for bad food.

This place is not for those who have anywhere to get to. It took me almost 10 minutes to get a salad just now… I was the only one in line mind you. There was one person covering food prep and register, while two others wandered around the back doing nothing meaningful. The one gal covering the front spoke broken English, which made the process take even longer.

Been here a few times. Staff is not very knowledgeable about gluten free. I had to explain several times that they could not finish another order (like a burrito) and then touch my food. Been give attitude when I ask that they change gloves so the food will be safe for me. Staff here is not friendly at all!

The tacos here are pretty good although i think it’s a bit overpriced. And they definitely don’t travel well. Sometimes i get the chips and guacamole. I love the guacamole but i’m not a fan of the chips. I’d rather have Tostitos. Also, hit or miss on how fast (or slow) your lunch will be made.

We came here for dinner last night. The person taking our order was cheerfully energetic. I had to repeat our selection as few time but I didn’t mind as it was more of a confirmation that we wanted that selection.
The grilled chicken taco bowl I had was a bit of a disappointment. While the chicken was fine whose taste reminded us of Chinese roast pork, the taco of the bowl itself was stale and tough. We also had a beef burrito and since we saw it was so large, we didn’t try to eat it with our hands. It tasted fine and we left the restaurant satisfied.

I’ve convinced myself to try Qdoba on several occasions. This location twice; disappointed both times. I’m hoping if I write it down I’ll remember not to return. The tortilla soup was salty & reminded me of chunky tomato soup. My quesadilla wasn’t completely melted and was overly drippy (possibly pork juice, not cheese grease). And when I didn’t specify fountain drink size, was automatically charged for a large. That’s shady, IMO.

The first time I tried Qdoba was at work, as my company had ordered a catered lunch for us all. It was delicious and I was able to fix my own burrito bowl just the way I like it. Today I decided to go to Qdoba for lunch and was severely, severely disappointed.
First off the service isn’t really that great. You tell them directly what you want and they still ask you questions when you already gave them the answer. «I’ll have the queso burrito with steak.» «Steak or chicken?» «Steak…»
Secondly, the portions are just god-​awful. Why am I paying extra money for a sliver of green pepper? And why is 70% of my burrito rice? I could barely spot the meat in mine and I paid extra for double meat when I saw the incredibly small amount they placed on my tortilla.
I enjoyed what I made for myself when Qdoba catered, but I can’t even imagine what I would have to pay in-​store to get the same size portions of meat, rice, and veggies.

I feel like you have to look at this place in two different ways because it’s a chain.
Qdoba vs Chipotle:
Qdoba ⁹⁄₁₀ times. Why? choice. The menu is practically identical except that Qdoba has the edge because of stuff like queso, BBQ sauce and nachos that you can actually top with stuff (Chipotle has chips with a side sauce of sorts). If you sat down and blindly ate a Chipotle and Qdoba burrito with the same stuff on it you wouldn’t taste the difference… and if you say you can like TOTES TELL THE DIFFERENCE between generic spiced pulled pork A and B then you’re an asshole.
As a standalone reastuarant:
The service in this place goes from ‘pretty okay” to laughably bad. Expect to tell the person what you want 100 times right after they ask you and expect them to still screw up.
«Yeah I’ll have brown rice… yes. brown rice. no that’s white… I asked for brown… it’s okay… no.brown.you know what fuck the rice.»
Don’t expect to eat your burrito like a burrito. It seems like half of these people couldn’t bag groceries let alone wrap a burrito. The second you pick it up it will explode, guaranteed. I would just order a bowl but damn if I don’t need those precious carbs.
One time I got a free a burrito from this place because the employee made my burrito, rang me up, then walked away! I stood there for a solid 2 minutes with my card in my hand like an idiot while she went and talked to someone for a bit and then started mopping. Another guy came over to me and said «oh forgot to give you your burrito, sorry!» then handed to me and walked away.
Food tastes good enough and reasonably priced. but if you go into this place and get someone who pays attention to what you say, makes it without having to repeat yourself AND manages to wrap your burrito like. a burrito… then go play the lottery because it’s your lucky fucking day.

Chicken Gumbo Bowl with brown rice and pinto beans. Yummmmmmm… Go early for lunch, the line goes out the door after about 11:45. Delish, if this place weren’t in such a crappy plaza for parking and location I’d go more often.

Awkward setup. The line is backwards when you enter the restaurant and have to pass through the line. Chairs are very uncomfortable. The restaurant lacks ambiance. Food is kind of blah and a bit pricey. This is my first time here and will likely be my last. I prefer Chipotle.

I’m surprised this place has such low ratings. I had a great experience, for a chain Mexican Food Restaurant…
I ordered online and when I got there, I wanted to change my order. They did it without complaining. I got a «menu for two» or something if that nature. I had the steak nachos and a bowl of tortilla soup. I had enough food with the nachos and had to the take the soup, to go. Oh me, Oh my Nachos were yummy! The tortilla soup was salty but, then again… it’s tortilla soup with a ton of individually cooked ingredients and, well, Mexican food.
My boyfriend got a Quesadilla and it was GINORMOUS! It had plenty of cheese and meat. Avocado and sour cream. Price was reasonable and sodas have refill.
The place was clean, too. That was pleasantly surprising. Overall, I like Q’doba!

Rating Qdoba is difficult because I’m not sure what to compare it with. Compared to Mcdonalds and other fast food places, Qdoba is head and shoulders above them because the ingredients are relatively fresh and somewhat healthy. However, compared with Chipotle, Qdoba burritos seem kind of bland.

I love this place you get great food for a good price and also blows chipotles out of the water

Located in the same parking as the Woburn Mall, this Qdoba is pretty much the same as any other. The restaurant was conveniently located across the street from the hotel where I was staying. I arrive about 45 minutes before closing and there was only one other customer in the restaurant. I ordered the mango chicken salad for $ 6.99. The guy putting the salad together was neither friendly nor helpful. Though he did give me a fair amount of chicken there was very little of every other ingredient including lettuce. The salad actually tasted pretty good but it wasn’t particularly filling.

I went to Qdoba to give it a try. To be fair, I wasn’t in an absolute Mexican-​inspired but, I wanted something quick, close by and a short wait.
Qdoba is no doubt the contender of Chipotle. And in my opinion, Chipotle still reigns supreme. I don’t know if Qdoba has a unique concept yet, other than the quick assembly line of «fresh» ingredients. There were all but just a very small number of people dining at Qdoba, including myself, which made me realize once I sat down that this location hasn’t built a standard of quality. I got to choose any seat in the establishment, overlooking the parking lot.
The menu is similar to Chipotle, but I could bet that Chipotle has a few more ingredients to choose from at no additional cost. But, I decided to go with a pulled pork bowl. Qdoba charges additional toppings, including cheese, sour cream and grilled vegetables. Opposed to, Chipotle, you can top your meal with any of their ingredients to your heart’s content. The rice was very mushy and nearly pasty. The rice portion does not match to the sizes of ingredients to be scooped on top of it. It makes you wonder, where any of the rice went. The beans are supposedly simmered with cumin, which had lacked of any kind of flavor.
You can sign up with their frequent-​buyer card to earn a free burrito once you get up to a certain number of points. This light-​weight burrito bowl added up to $ 9.10; whereas, Chipotle is roughly $ 7 and weighs nearly about a healthy newborn baby. Still, $ 10+, if I chose to buy a soda… –doesn’t seem worth the value.
As I said earlier, this is a Mexican-​inspired restaurant. I think the only thing in the whole restaurant that was remotely Mexican is the bus boy.
I’m sorry, Qdoba. Perhaps, you’re still struggling as a new establishment in the area, and may feel inferior to Chipotle, which is a mile down the road from you. There are a few things that you need to iron out. As far as your burritos go, you are the «Fresh City» of burritos. Try again.

With so many burrito choices out there Qdoba does nothing to stand out from the pack.
I think the prices are ridiculous the portions are small outside of the burritos, and the add ons are crazy, you will spend $ 10+ on a burrito and a drink. Far too much for a chain with marginal quality.

Soooo disappointed…

Hey Manager–
When you are checking someone out why don’t you look at them, ask them if they want a coke, let them know where the napkins are, hand them their food and than tell them to have a nice day. Instead you never asked my if I wanted a drink with that, you threw my Quesadilla in the take out container, slide my card through the machine, handed the card to me and started helping the next guy who had no idea you were even talking to him because it was CLEAR you still were not done waiting on me. What about my food? What about my receipt?
I love Qdoba but will NEVER come back to this location.
Courtesy and Customer Service is way more enjoyable than any Quesadilla.
