Normally I try to avoid writing reviews about chain restaurants, but I guess this is technically a franchise that's locally owned, and given how much better Qdoba is (in my perspective of course) than the other two big burrito guys, I feel compelled to leave a few words.
Let me start by saying that what you get here is pretty much the same as what you will get at any other Qdoba location- whether the one just up the road in Westfield, down south in Tampa, or all the way out west in Seattle (I've been to locations in all those cities by the way). But that may can be a good thing. You know that what you are getting is consistent with your expectations, and that you'll be able to get something a little more creative than your typical burrito.
A little over a year ago, Qdoba started including all sauces and topping for free on any menu item. Guac, queso, veggies, extra salsa, sour cream, you name it. Sure, the price of the burritos went up a little bit, but the nice thing is that you don't get nickel and dimed on everything. And I do think that some of the flavors that you can get st Qdoba are much more complex than what you can get elsewhere. Case in point, the mango chicken salad they have every summer. Tell me one other national burrito chain that uses fresh fruit in their salsas?
In terms of what this location does unique, I guess the best I could come up with is that you never have to wait in line. And there's always plenty of seating, including some communal high tops in the center stocked with napkins and hot sauce, both very important things when it comes to enjoying a burrito.
One tip, lose the tortilla and get a bowl with half the amount of rice. Still way more than enough to eat.
Minus one star because they charge extra for chips.
I'm in the also in the boat of Qdoba is better than Chipotle. They have hotter sauces than Chipotle and I like some heat. I also think the pork is better.
The first time I had Qdoba someone gave me a buy one get one coupon and I ate almost both burritos. This being said I do not eat here because I need more than just one. That's an expensive lunch. I got a Mexican spot (see Cinco De Mayo review) in New Brunswick with bigger burritos than your standard Q and only $4.50.
I will return….with a coupon.
Pretty bland Mexican food. Portion was large and food tasted fresh but it was really lacking in spice/flavor that has made Mexican food so popular with me. I've never been to Chipotle Grill but this is no Moe's Southwestern and based on what I've heard about Chipotle, it's no Chipotle either. In fact, I enjoyed the food at Taco Bell more which must say something. I do admit that I really enjoy Taco Bell; food and prices.
I'm pretty sure that I did not see refried beans here which I find very surprisingly. Also, there must have been some heavy work going on in the back because there was loud pounding noise in the restaurant.
It served its purpose because I was hungry and in a hurry but this place's version of Mexican food was only so-so. On a very positive note, the bathroom was spotless.
My 2nd time eating at a Qdoba, first one in New Brunswick but they closed down. Hopefully this one won't close down after my review.
I came in on Thursday afternoon around 5pm. At first I was a little scared since there was only 1 customer. They had plenty of staff to help. The quickly took my order exactly how I wanted it. The ingredients were fresh and well seasoned. I had the soft chicken tacos. Sour cream was nice a chilly, just like I like it.
I also had the 3 Queso and chips. This was my only problem. The chips were super salty and I had a hard time eating them. The cheese sauce was on point and I enjoyed every bit of that.
I give the place an extra star because the young lady came over and asked if everything was alright. Of course I told her how I felt about the chips. She then went and gave me 2 vouchers for next batch of chips.
I really hope I came in on a slow time, I really hope they last at this location.
Chipotle but a teensy bit less awesome. Way more options. Meat was moist and tender with good flavor. Rice and beans were good (not as delicious as Chipotle which I think are A-M-AY-ZING). Tortilla was…tortilla-ey. Chips nice and salty with a hint of lime. 3 cheese queso was creamy with a mild spice level but not worth the cost (around $4).
More like a 3.5; -1 star for odd service. Asked about the Craft2 deal thing but was met with a confused look and "no you don't do that." Well, ok I guess?
I would return. Way more variety.
First time having Qboda. It was pretty good.
Got the chicken quesadilla on wheat and it was yummy. Their salsa is fresh. Their chicken is nice and flavored. They don't ask you if you want to put anything special in it. Well at least he didn't.
The beans looked really dried around the edges so I didn't touch them. Would come back but different location.
