Qdoba Mexican Grill

I always see this place when I leave the gym across the street and since I’m hungry most of the time after a workout, I finally decided to try it. Plus I had a coupon for buy one entrée and get the second free. I decided to get the chicken burrito and chicken nachos to go. Both were really good. I might actually like the burrito from Qdoba more than Chipotle’s! They have a queso cheese dip that they add to your burrito and nachos which is what they said is the difference between Qdoba and Chipotle. Service was excellent.

I have eaten at this location (and others) many times. The staff are remarkably friendly. The food is supremely fresh. Everything is made to order and all the ingredients are fresh. You can build whatever you want the way you like it. You can have burritos or a naked burrito, tacos, tacos salads, nachos and more. My personal favorite is the gumbo.
You can have your choice of meat or if you are vegetarian or vegan you can order it how you want also. You can have a great meal with any type of selection. They have 5 different salsas that you can add to your order. The have special signature sauces and signature type items which they create.
Not only is this food delicious, the service is fast. I highly recommend you try out this location or any of their other locations. Their prices are reasonable and if you join their rewards program they also have great discounts and deals.

At first I thought this place as a sit down Mexican restaurant. To my surprise, it was like a Chipotle restaurant. I ordered the Naked Steak Burrito. Basically a Burrito Bowl. They had some sauces, which I thought were salsas, and got the darkest one thinking that it was spicy. To my suprise it was some BBQ mole sauce. I hate eating sweet and spicy. So that just ruined my whole meal. I had to pour some Tabasco sauce and Cholula sauce in my bowl to try and save it. But it didn’t work. Other than that, the Steak was really good. It’s too similar to Chipotle. I wished they had labels for the sauces. The prices were pretty reasonable. Maybe I’ll try it again one day. But for now I will just go to Chipotle!

Only been there once… today! :) I like going to the Barnes & Noble to work at their coffee shop and it over looks this restaurant. So I always wondered about it and kept promising myself to check it out. Actually the external décor is quite nice so to be honest I thought it was one of those fancy reservations only kinda places. Anyhoo, went there today on my way to my favorite books store (barnes & noble across the street) and decided to stop by for lunch. I was pleasantly surprised that its practically a quick service eatery, think of it like Chipotle 2.0. And not to take away from Chipotle, they have very many similarities from the food to the ordering process. One of the servers there was really funny, cracking us up as we stood in line which was nice. The restaurant is quite nice on the inside, simple and easy architecture designed for a quick meal. Nice background music, the kind that is neutral to all music preferences. Service was fast and the food was good.
So do check it out when you get the chance, I would definitely be back should the opportunity present itself

It’s fast and easy. Not gourmet. The pork tacos are the best thing on the menu (with pico de gallo salsa).

Very clean place with quick orders and fresh food. I wish the price could be cheaper.

Qdoba is a great restaurant but this location is turning into another Chipotle. Real skimpy on any toppings they give you. Every time I go I end up getting less and less food. I wouldn’t be surprised if they started weighing the food to make sure they aren’t over by an ounce. Real shame this place turned into such a super cheap place to go. Cannot recommend

I don’t usually write reviews for chains as everybody knows them but had to for this one. First of all it has about 6 parking spots which makes things easy. They actually had a groupon here so that was a no brainer. Manager brought chips and and a large selection of salsas to try. How cool is that? Never expected that from a chain.

I love this location! I hardly ever went to a Qdoba before because there was never one conveniently located near me. Fortunately for me, they just put this one in.
As Shawn B said, the manager here is the best. I’ve been here several times and the manager and empolyee are hands down the nicest at this location. I had never heard of the rewards program until coming to this location, and on my third visit, one of the employees recommended that I join. (Probably because it was my third visit in four days).
As for the food, it’s consistent with other Qdoba locations, but it tastes fresher here. I also love the «pick two» menu. It’s nice to be able to have variety.
The parking lot is awkwardly shaped, but there is hardly anybody parked there when I go, which is usually on a weekday after work.

Discovered that this was the closest Qdoba to us after hatching the idea of using my handy dandy Groupon I purchased a couple of weeks back. So, the boy and I hopped into our car and drove on over.
Enter weird Alice-​In-​Wonderland-​type parking lot, luckily we got a spot after debating «is this a spot? uh… well…the car will fit there… soo…».
Very fast and friendly service. The restaurant was bright and spotless.
They put three little tables outside which I think is cute.
The food was fine. Same as any other Qdoba.
Nice work on keeping a «fast» food place so very clean and friendly, guys!

The good about Qdoba:
–Friendly staff
–Clean facilities (even if it IS new)
–The options — sometimes you feel like a burrito, sometimes a bowl, sometimes a salad… you get the picture.
–The sauces, which make them stand out for other burrito places. I recommend the Ranchero and the Barbecue; the Pesto goes bad with a hangover.
–Limes on the soda fountain table. Create your own lime Coke!
–Incentives! I received a free entrée for being a Unilocaler AND Qdoba has quite a few deals available to those who «check-​in» and those who are students (free pop!!!)
The good about this Qdoba:
–Friendly staff
–Clean facilities (which you’d expect since it’s new)
–Ample seating. For those who don’t live within walking distance you can easily stop in, grab a seat, and enjoy!
The «needs work»:
–A bit slow in preparing the food, but I am sure that will work out as the
staff gets trained
–Soda fountain was down on the day I visited. Water was fine. And it was free.
–The location. Not enough room for much parking (5 spots total), and Clybourn is such a nightmare to drive down or navigate through at most times of the day.
Find street parking or walk if possible. There are plenty of freebies and discounts available so be sure to check before you pay full price. Everyone needs to get their Qdoba on!

Best experience I have ever had at a qdoba. Extremely friendly staff and great food!

Really nice! Just opened a couple days ago and they are off to a great start! Outstanding customer service and food quality.
Freshest fajita peppers I have ever had at any mexican grill.
Superb!

The freshness of the food is excellent and the choices to customize your entrée is great! It is easy to get a vegan option. It is also very delicious.
There are plenty of fresh vegetables and they even have lemon and limes for your drink.
The staff is extra-​friendly and very helpful.
They do have a small parking lot which is nice but might get full quickly.

New location is outstanding! Wish there were more than 5 parking spots in the lot, but there’s free parking on side streets. Check FourSquare for specials.
