My review is mostly for breakfast. If, you're traveling anytime after 12, and they're still open. Grab a breakfast bowl, its affordable. Eggs, potatoes and your choice of meat and sides

I watched an employee pull an uncapped sharpie out of one one of the sauce tubs and then he didn't remove the contaminated sauce from the line. Staff was distracted the entire time I was trying to order.

Excellent service and food from this place. Best in seatac. Like 0 cook time, easy to take on a plane clean, healthy.
If you just want some food there is mcdonalds. If you want to be fancy there's plenty of those. But if you want to be actually full, on a plane with healthy food, qdoba is there for you.

Waited in line for Qdoba at the airport hoping for a quick, dependable meal, but it didn’t live up to even airport-level expectations. The line was long and barely moving. The staff didn’t seem overwhelmed as much as poorly organized, and there was no sense of urgency to keep things flowing. After standing around longer than expected, I ended up leaving midway through without ordering. Food might be decent once you get it, but efficiency is everything in an airport setting, and this location missed that mark. If you have a long layover and no other options, it might be fine, but there are better uses of your time.
Efficient: No
First-Time Friendliness: No
Would I Return: No

Absolute S-Show! This place is ALWAYS out of stuff; menu items; Grilled Vegetables-NO Tortilla Bowl-NO! You wait in a looong line only to find out they don't have half their menu items...And this happens here all the time!
They should put an electronic sign out front stating all the lir missing menu items to warn customers. Instead you get a "we're out tonight" response the employee like it's okay. NO THIS IS NOT OKAY! Manager should be fired. Second rate business and second rate management at this particular location!!!! I am going to boycott this place alliance there are many other better places to eat in SEATAC! ;)
