My first time ever eating Qdoba and experience was mixed. Bad service and the LITERALLY started making the bowl AFTER I was waiting for 10 mins for an ONLINE ORDER.
Like they should know what I want since IT SAYS IT ON the receipt.
The only reason I would come back is the food was tasty, generously given and good value’

I ordered ahead of time and they still didn’t even have it ready. I had to go up to them and tell them to make my order which was the most simplest order just chips and cheese. Then they finally made it. This is the first time I have had this bad of an experience.

This is the cleanest nicest and most wonderful Qdoba I’ve ever been to. The workers are very pleasant and helpful and are more than happy to assist you with anything you need. It is very apparent that they are a very clean establishment and they value cleanliness. You should come here because their food is absolutely delicious and the best I’ve had ever in my life so I definitely recommend.
