I go to qdoba regularly at different locations and enjoy it a lot. However I've been to this location several times, and I have had a few issues with the food here. The first being portion sizes. I weigh and log everything I eat. The portions at this location have been significantly smaller than the standard. The rice is often overcooked and a horrible texture to eat. The chicken as well is a bit over charred. I love qdoba but I would not choose this location again when there is one not too much further away.

Full disclosure… I initially left a 5 star review to get 10% off, but it was bothering me that I wasn’t being fully honest about the experience, so I had to come back and make it right. The service I usually receive from this Qdoba is great 95% of the time as it was this time, but there were some issues with the food… when I asked for fajita veggies, I purposely hesitated and even wrinkled up my nose in disdain at the state of them as they were the very bottom and they looked pretty dead. She didn’t catch it apparently and still gave me the dead veggies, making no effort to get some fresh ones. That was the only problem I had, until after I left with my order. The next problem I had and this is an ongoing problem… the tortilla chips are way, way over salted. It’s so bad that I usually have to rub the salt off each individual chip, which is a pain when I would just like to dig in. There is also sometimes a problem with the amount of chips I get, as well, as I usually end up running out before all my 3 Cheese Nachos(my favorite dish there) are gone. Other than those items, I am happy with the portions I usually receive and the usually fast and friendly service. Like I said, I had to be honest about things and they can’t fix the issues if they don’t know about them. With that, I love Qdoba and do highly recommend them.
