I haven't been to a Qdoba in years! The food was good for everyone in our group of 15! It's better quality than I remember! The tortilla soup was delicious! And...so big!

I don't like doing this but this place was gross. Food was slow and not what It used to be and the workers looked like they were all tweaking. Too bad. Won't be going back even though it reminds me of earlier days.
