Qdoba Mexican Grill

Better than Chipotle!
I ordered a steak quesadilla! Biggest quesadilla I’ve ever had! I stuffed that bad boy with everything they had to offer and the staff was more than happy to give me suggestions of ingredients to put in my quesadilla. Awesome place… and they give free guac!
Qdoba replaced Chipotle in my eyes!

Great food and I have been coming here for years BUT they have recently (since the other burrito place has been having issues) been noticeably more crowded with lines to the door. Kudos to you on increased business but please staff accordingly. I’ve walked out 2 out of 3 times in the past 2 weeks.

Tacos are always fresh candy corn salsa on my great it’s a well-​run restaurant convenient location lots of parking and the potatoes are fresh. Given some of the trouble of the other Mexican fast food recently maybe it’s refreshing to try a place like this for a change

Great alternative to Chipotle. They never charge for guacamole and Tuesday they offer 50% off to students which is great for those starving. Generally have a good impression of this place. There’s one lady who is really nice!

Always got good, friendly service at this Qdoba location. I recommend their adobo chicken taco salads or burrito bowls – they’re delish.

This is your standard Qdoba other than the great staff that they have. They are always smiling and make coming here a pleasant experience.
Come one Tuesdays for half price but come early as sometimes the line can stretch out the door!

I don’t eat Chipotle… I don’t have to because Qdoba has everything I need when I need a burrito fix. A queso chicken bowl will last me lunch and dinner because of how much they give you. The people are always friendly and unlike some places I have never seen insects flying around the food. My only gripe would be they don’t fill up the queso in the to-​go cup.

I love Qdoba because of there service and they also have great food selections on the menu. Amelia is the manager she is very friendly and she and her staff do the best they can to please the guests. I also love the chicken bowls and steak burrito bowls mixed with three cheese queso sauce.

I already love the food. The queso is a winner! But this particular location has exceptional customer service. Very pleasant, nice staff.

Fresh food guaranteed, everytime I come they are great. Always have good experience with them, go to them. I promise you won’t regret it.

I have a special love for Qdboa because it reminds me of eating late night Qdoba in college. This location is exceptional for their service and food. The line moves very quickly, the staff are very friendly (giving us free drinks), and also the store was very clean. Nothing to complain about, also they have groupons.

I love everything about Qdoba until I found a long yucky hair I pulled out of my bowl. Not even just laying on the top, pulled it out from way deep it was so long and my food hanging off of it. NEVER going back to this location! Qdoba itself is delicious but my experience at this one is ruined.

We are so deprived of good Mexican food in this area. Maybe I was spoiled because I lived in Northern California and I am comparing it to that type of Mexican food. I had the burrito pork and it barely had any flavor. I wish it was better since it’s so close to my office but sorry won’t be back.

I came here because chipotle was too far away and I lost hope in moes. This place was better than both because their food and service are amazing! I came here, no one else was in line and the staff were very very nice and polite and I got my burrito finished in less than 2 minutes. The burrito was heaven in a tortilla. The bathrooms are exceptionally clean. There is nothing you wouldn’t like about this place because it is so perfect!
P. S. Free guacamole and students get 50% off on tuesday

This is not the only Qdoba location I’ve been to, but it’s definitely the best!
The good: the staff is here AWESOME! They always greet us with a smile when we get to the front of the line. I think they have a larger selection than Chipotle, and I like the ambiance a little bit more here.
The bad: in the evenings and on the weekends this place can get CROWDED. Sometimes the drink station is kind of a mess. Usually when grabbing a straw, you can expect a trash can nearby to throw away the wrapper — not so at this location.
Four of of five for the awesome staff!
PRO TIP: Go during off hours to avoid the crowds and find ample seating.

Every time I come, I get a chicken quesadilla. Now, I am not sure why, but it is aALWAYS assumed I just want chicken and cheese in mine. I have to always stop them and ask for pico, corn, and lettuce which normally wouldn’t be a problem if they didn’t look so annoyed that I made that request. Decent queso but there’s better along with more friendly service.

I’m a convert. Why? Because Qdoba’s proteins seem to be so much better than the Chipotle I used to go to off of Duke St. Theirs became extremely fatty, loaded with gristle, and gave a very unpleasant mouth feel. This Qdoba’s is solid. Customer service is fantastic. Food is great! The plethora of choices and options may seem daunting but I’m sure the same could be said of most Starbucks chains and the like. I’ll continue to go here until I get tired of it. Lol.

Good food. But ordering is difficult if u r not familiar with Mexican food. They don’t guide u well … So I just picked veggies and meet as always on diet, free soda comes with it which is good. The location is great.

~3.5 stars~
I’ve had only one experience with Qdoba, so I am still not sure how much I like the place. I mean the food was good, but the ordering was confusing, with all of the «these go in the burrito and these go on top of the burrito» stuff. With a line behind me, I think it would have been a much too stressful experience.
I do like the choices of sauces to smother your burrito with, but I would stick with something light, like the red chili or tomatillo sauces. And I would skip the queso as well, which makes the dish way too heavy. In fact, just try to make it like a Chipotle burrito, which is still better than the food offered at Qdoba (not sure why this isn’t obvious to everyone here). But this is a nice alternative, if a location like this is nearby and you want to switch up your fast-​Mex food for a change.

Hungry in Arlington where I do not live. So decided to order some pickup at Qdoba. Don’t eat there often because there is none in centreville where I do live. But love coming there because it’s better than chipotle to me.
When I arrived at the restaurant there I went straight to the register and told the lady there I was there to pickup an order. She looked around and told me there was no order placed. I then called my boyfriend who placed the order to let him know. Then the lady let me know she found the order and they would prepare it now. I was already annoyed because I had placed the order 40 minutes ago.
To top it all off the lady complained while making one of the 3 items on the order that we had asked for too many toppings. How is that my problem? If there is a max amount of items to put on the order they should let you know that online! The fact that she was complaining about doing the order after it should have been done 20 minutes ago just made me want to walk out of there. But I was hungry. So I stayed and waited.
This is a case of just horrible service. They did not apologize once! They didn’t offer me a free drink or chips! Nothing. I won’t be back. I’ll stick to chipotle.
