This is a nice Qdoba location - there are plenty of seating areas if you want to dine in, or if you want to take out that's an option too. I still love that Qdoba gives free queso and guac with your bowls, Chipotle never does that. You also get a free small side of chips with your order. The service at this location is friendly. Try the seasonal citrus lime shrimp, it's available from spring to early summer, I'd highly recommend a visit to Qdoba if you want a chipotle like experience, but with add ons included for free. read more

Was happy to find a Qdoba. We were in the area for a high school swim Invite, and this location was our dinner. Always enjoyed their taco bowl salads. Fresh ingredients and a good size. Please open a Qdoba in the North Aurora area! Cheers. read more

We stopped by for dinner after running some errands. The parking lot outside made it super convenient for parking. Since Qdoba is a quick service restaurant we were able to go through the line pretty quickly like Chipotle. The serving staff was super friendly, but they did not have a lot of the items on menu such as a birria meat that they were advertising, guac, and other toppings. I got a bowl with the carnitas, veggies, Queso and various toppings. It was a healthier alternative to chipotle as it didn't feel as heavy after eating. When I went to get a drink with my meal, they were out of half of the sodas and when I asked if they could change the syrup one of the ladies mentioned they were waiting on shipment. All in all, it was great for what we got. The one thing that stood out to me was that the tables and surfaces were super dirty and covered in food. So it would be nice to have them wiped down every now and then. read more

Came here to get a quick lunch with my husband. Had to use the bathroom but staff (lady wearing pink polo shirt) was really rude and gave me dirty looks for gently knocking in the bathroom- there was no one answering and I am 9months pregnant. She told me that I should have used the men's bathroom. I am appalled by the attitude. Not coming back to this location again. read more

Please avoid. I tried to order extra beans and wanted to charge extra. Please avoid. I walked out.

Very good service, Friendly stuff , Great place to eat and definitely Yes ! We will come again very soon for dinner or lunch ! Great choice! Thank You QDOBA read more

I ordered nachos and it was absolutely amazing! The employees are incredibly kind. This location was very clean! Would definitely recommend!

When I ordered chips with queso, I did not expect to receive SALT with some chips. I don't think I've ever ingezted this amount of salt. This is a criminal level of salt. I am afraid to pick up another chip, I DO NOT DARE TO. I have been betrayed. All the queso is left, cold and alone, with no chips to be eaten with. Salty, salty... salty. Update: I tried to eat one more and I just threw up a little in my mouth. read more

Friendly staff, good food, fast service, and a clean establishment! Everyone who was working had a smile on their face and seemed genuinely happy to be there. Angie, Gigi, Carmen and Veronica were all attentive and quick to help. Special shout out to Oscar for serving some of the freshest Qdoba I've had! Highly recommend! read more

Great portions, priced just right, great place for vegetarians and Vegans. Thank you for being opened in New Years Day!! read more

QDOBA Mexican Eats - Impossible Meat Bowl - Mexican Near Me - Arlington Heights, Illinois

One of our go-to's for take out. Order on the app and pick up in about 10 min. We prefer Qdoba to Chipotle for several reasons. The chicken and steak isn't as spicy, free chips, free guac, great pickled onions, option for cotija cheese, and love the impossible and brisket options. I do wish they cut the fajita veggies smaller and cooked them longer (they are nearly raw). read more

Small portions and a little overpriced! chicken quality needs improvement. Food was tasty looked good in bowl it could be better then chipotle if they tweek chicken quality read more

I like Qdoba better than Chipotle. The meat here is much more juicy, not dried out like the other place I mentioned. I also like their varieties of Smother Sauces. read more

This location is by far the best one in the area. The food is always fresh and tastes amazing. All the workers there are friendly and helpful. I am always greeted with a wave and a how are you from the workers--especially Jazmin who keeps this place in tip top shape. I drive out of my way to eat here and I have no complaints. Delicious food for a good price and million times better than any competitor. read more

The last time I went to a Qdoba location was probably 5-7 years ago and I remember being so unimpressed, their prices rivaled Chipotle and the food didn't taste as good as Chipotle and I hadn't been back since. I've had a craving for nachos for over a week and drove by Qdoba and figured I'd give it a try and I'm so glad I did! It cost me less than $9 for a huge order of nachos which I was able to customize to my liking. I loved that they had so many options for toppings for the nachos that were also vegetarian friendly AND that they didn't charge me extra for guacamole the way Chipotle does. Ive been craving nachos a lot lately and these are the best nachos I've ever had. My only issue is that I had to dump my nachos into a huge bowl when I got home because there were so many toppings I couldn't even see the chips. This however is an issue I was more than happy to have and just meant I didn't have a bunch of chips left at the end with no toppings for them like most nachos when you get them at other places. read more

The food is ok, it's a bit overly priced and portions are small, pictures on the web site can be miss leading. Burrito are small for the price. Ordered steak and they ran out or they just didn't want to cook any because it was after 7 pm. The servers were looking to leave. It's hard to get good help. The workers just don't understand that customer service makes the restaurant. Makes people want to come back. This is definitely a place to go if you like American Mexican food. I would try it again like when it opens. Maybe the day shift crew it better. read more

If i could give 4.5 stars I would. The Gladiator, Triple Threat, and Drunken Yardbird were delicious. Place was very clean. You get a lot for the price. People are friendly. Would highly recommend plus voted a top restaurant. read more

Now that Moe's has folded, down the street, and Chipotle is a bit of a health risk, it was time to try this place again. The menu has been simplified, as there are now no add-ons, just several basic items that you choose. The new approach to tacos is a great improvement. The burrito selection has been improved with better chicken choices. All in all, probably the best choice among these type of restaurants. read more

Excellent location with extraordinary service. This location compared to other prepares and makes dishes the way it should be. You feel like you are getting your money's worth. See pictures of loaded nachos and some amazing Queso dip. I would highly recommend visiting this location If in mood for Mexican food. read more

I don't really leave reviews unless my experience is consistent. This location is amazing staff are attentive, good portions compared to chipotle , steak and brisket are cooked to perfection and location is well kept. Will keep coming here keep up the good work read more

It has been a LONG time since I've visited a Qdoba - mainly because I'm usually never close to one of their stores. But a new one has opened a little over a mile away from me, so there's no excuse anymore. Though sadly, it sits on a site once occupied by a good French restaurant, Le Titi de Paris. We need more of those and fewer of these single building three store retail outlets. But nonetheless, I stopped in to get a late meal and opted for the Fajita Ranchera Burrito with chicken. It's Qdobo's version of the Chicken Fajita Burrito that I have ordered at Chipotle for years. Qdobo is pretty much a Chipotle copycat in my mind. I took my order to-go. The counterperson was nice and helpful as well, offering me a taste of one of their salsas before I selected it. With the exception of the ranchera sauce, this burrito was exactly like Chipotle's version. The only difference that I noticed was that the outside of the burrito was really soft, somewhat doughy and almost sticky. It peeled from the foil, though fortunately none stuck. Overall, Chipotle's gets the nod. My rating is a generous 4 stars - really a 3 1/2. Nice to have the variety added to our area. read more

I like Qdoba more then Chipotle. I just think there is a better variety of hot spicy stuff then Chipotle. I wish there were more Qdoba restaurants. The interior is very clean and I love the pop machine. Lots of varieties. They make good business here. It does look like it gets busy here. Located right off Arlington Heights Road I am a huge fan. read more

If you want some freshly made tacos that are out of this world this is your spot..... The service was great, ask for Jasmine she is friendly and made me feel right at home. Thank you Qdoba I will be coming back real soon to scarf down some tasty tacos! P.s Order some warn tortilla chips with their queso dip MMMMMMMMMM read more

Great representation of the brand. Food came out hot, and the staff were nice/friendly. Lots of options for food combinations.

I stopped in for the first time last Sunday. I ordered the nachos, and the lady behind the counter was nice enough to let me try to spicy cheese before I went home with a bowl of it. Indeed, it was too spicy for me, and I thought that was really nice of her to suggest I try before I buy. (Hint...always tell people when it's your first time in their restaurant. Even though this is a chain, it's a paycheck for folks and they probably care if you come back.) Anyway, I thought it was really good and I will definitely go back to this particular restaurant due to this great service! read more

I ordered online through the app and it said my food would be ready in 10 minutes. I showed up and had to wait. People who didn't order through the app were able to go through the line much quicker. If ordering, I would recommend ordering in person. I came around 2 and it seemed like a slow day read more

Pros No extra charge for guacamole like Chipotle. Different variety of quesos Hot salsas taste better than Chipotle Steak was not overcooked like Chipotle Cons None Restaurant was clean and staffs were very friendly. Had no problem with my visit. I will definitely come back. read more

As far as as fast casual restaurants, this is the best. Food feels healthy and not greasy. Also can really appreciate the fact they didn't charge extra for guacamole and they give you free tortilla chips on the side. Nice friendly staff and very quick service in a clean restaurant. read more

I wouldn't normally review a chain restaurant but these people deserve it. I come here fairly often and the staff is always nice and provide a great portion. keep it up! read more

Hands down my favorite Qdoba location! Veronica, Jazmin & the very nice male cook (whose name I am for getting right now) are great!!! They always provide great customer service & have smiles on their faces. read more

The workers at this location continue to adjust to allergies amazingly. They have a great storage system to keep their chips fresh and not stale. The staff is easy to talk to and all deserve recognition for their great work. Thanks for the great experiences and great food! read more

If you like Chipotle, you'll like this place. About the only thing different is that this place has one of those whizzo soda machines. Reminds me of "McDowell's" from "Coming to America." The one thing that they do here that seems to be nontraditional is that they steam the burrito wrapper, which leaves it damp, rubbery, and clammy, instead of warm and crispy. read more

I was surprised by all the different options they had. I haven't been to a Qdoba for a long time. Lots of things have changed. I had the nachos, which you can't get at Chipotle. read more

Let me first start off by saying that I'm a Chipotle guy, but Qdoba might have changed that. The service was grade-A, and the atmosphere was poppin'. I think I was actually in the stratosphere. I ordered a ground beef burrito on flour tortilla with mild queso, white rice, shredded cheese, and guacamole. It turned a skeptic into a believer. The tortilla was wrapped tight but lacked the crunch I usually like. On a positive note, the beef was very flavorful and juicy. The guacamole was a bit mediocre and maybe not that fresh. The queso was incredible and is what set this burrito apart from other places' burritos. My wife ordered the same thing and loved it. We enjoy this place and try to go at least a couple times a week. read more

I dont understand why they dont have alot customers like Chiptoles. The food is awesome and has way more selections. This is my very first time eating at this chain and wish I came here earlier. They have neat mango salsa. I love it! read more

Tried this for the first time last week. Took out a chicken bowl the food is tasty and fresh. But the quantity of food for the price was a bit less. Overall a decent place to have for a change read more

This location is pretty new. I've been to the location in Schaumburg a bunch of times because I used to work a block away from there, so it was a regular lunch spot. It was nice to see that this location opened up closer to home. The appearance of the restaurant is very nice and I like the fact that they had a couple of tvs in here. The staff was very pleasant and made my food to my liking. I also like the fact that they now offer a wheat tortilla for the burritos. I would definitely recommend this place for a quick casual place to grab a bite. read more

They totally and completely screwed up our order. I ordered thru Grub Hub and gave clear and concise directions which were totally and completely ignored. I tried calling the restaurant (during business hours) and they never answered plus no answering machine there is no restaurant in this area that is ever that busy. I then called Grub Hub to complain about the order Grub Hub agreed that my directions were clear and concise as well as easy to understand and follow, for example I asked for my burrito to be cut in half but nope they didn't do that. Grub Hub called the restaurant and amazingly they got through. Apparantly Qdoba only cares about pleasing those that they pay and not who pays them. Grub Hub wasn't even able to speak with even an ASSISTANT MANAGER, but the employee said I MIGHT get a free meal but there was no way that I would get a refund. The food was inedible plus half of it was missing. I would not feed their slop to my dog. If they can't get simple directions straight I really don't think I would ever go back. I've gotten better food service and a more caring customer service when I was in Boot Camp in the Marines! Better food as well. read more

Thought I'd try this. Overpriced. Extra charge for added toppings. Wanted to charge me extra for onions/peppers.Acted like they were something special. Looked funny at me when I didn't order a soda with lunch. Food fair at best. Not coming back, I will return to Moe's or Chipolte. read more
