Worst service I’ve ever experienced. The Arlington Heights location is much better. I’d rather drive 20 minutes to get good food and good service than come back here.

This is my go to qdoba. Been going for years and they never dissapoint. The staff is wonderful, the food is seasoned and cooked perfectly. The portions are amazing and of course the chips on the side of a bowl brings the meal together. Love coming here for a hearty meal 💖

Used to be a frequent customer at the one in Carol Stream, but found this one was literally close to my work; and it couldn’t be more amazing to have one within a 5 min drive from the office opposed to driving 35 mins to Carol Stream when I would be in the area running around getting things for the house
