First visit.
Music upon entering was too loud, causing other diners to shout their conversations.
The building and workspace looked clean. Yet the only light (most of the light) was from the sun outside.
Some employees seemed to glare at me. Only one said hello; she looked like she was trying to be cheerful, but could tell she didn't want to be there.
Many food topping choices. And it tasted good. If I want some quick food to go, I might make an advanced order next time.

The service was outstanding, we didn’t understand how to get the promotions and they walked us through. Plus you don’t have to pay extra to have guac in your bowl. I completely recommend!

I love Qdoba and the tortilla soup. It’s my favorite. They always have the best customer service and clean facilities and I love their rewards program.
