Great food, almost as good as Chipolte! The tacos were just ok, if they took a little better care not to make them soggy they would have tasted better. The taco salads are just right, not too big but just enough for a filling lunch. The place was clean and very busy for lunch, but lines moved quickly and friendly people shared tables with us so that was all good. read more

I had ordered a quesadilla at first and then I was gonna order a burrito. I ordered my quesadilla first and then he proceeds to add steak and white rice without me telling him, it was alright tho since that was what I was going to order after. I then get to my quesadillas toppings and the white girls adds all my cold toppings in before putting my quesadilla in the hot press? The guy at cashier seemed like he had no energy at all. Barely wanted to give me my bag of food. Grill cook was complaining about getting more tequila like steak INFRONT of the customers. I have worked at CAVA, you are NOT supposed to do that infront of customers. Never coming here again. Need better customer service. 0/10. read more

rudest customer service the older guy in a yellow shirt on v days checking people out late 40s. had check the girl out in front she had scanned and paid and so I said we'd like it to go and with a drink and got snappy telling me to wait for no reason. I said they are together and he got mad and was like is it a bowl or nachos in a snarky way. then i said it's birria and steak. scanned my coupon and handed and 20 which he snatched and then proceeded to not even hand me my change back. he laid it on the counter. rude customer service. I am 22 years old and just because he is old doesn't mean you can have employees that are rude to customers. read more

Quick service, friendly and helpful! One of our group is gluten-free and they did a great job helping with which ingredients were safe to have. Food all tasted great and fresh! Followed covid guidelines. read more

QDOBA Mexican Eats - a burrito and a side of quesadilla - Mexican Near Me - Brookings, South Dakota

The food was okay. They didn't give me very much and the rice was crunchy. They had five or six full track teams so the service was impressive. The ambiance is what to be expected from a fast food restaurant. read more

Brookings Marathon runners stopped here for lunch. The grumpiest front line server I've ever seen. Bathrooms were filthy. Seating area dirty and filthy. read more

I ate here 3-25-23 at 7:30 pm and I will never come back! The facility needs to be updated and thoroughly cleaned. The booths were ripped. The tables were dirty. The floor was dirty. There was food all over the floor. The bathrooms needed cleaning. The garbages were full. Lauren Nelson, store manager. You need to get this place cleaned up! What a shame! read more

Stopped over for lunch. The food is great. Prepared in front of you, Subway style. We had Quesadilla with chicken, burrito with pulled pork and nachos. All tasted perfect. The guacamole is very nice, fresh. The room is a bit noisy tho during lunch hours. read more

I have never eaten at Qdoba before considering I am a die-hard Chipotle fan. However being in Brookings, that wasn't an option. Food was surprisingly very good. I think I will return here instead of Chipotle next time I am craving fast Mexican food. I love that eating a vegetarian dish actually fills me up and tastes great. Unfortunately, I feel like the line is way too rushed and the food is just slapped on in front of you with little care. I don't expect an extravagant experience though considering it IS Qdoba. The girl behind the counter did a good job of explaining the sauces and the whole staff seems to be in a cheery mood. Speaking of sauces..All the various sauces are so tasty! Don't be scared to try something new. On that note, writing this review has made me a little hungry. I think I might go get some now.. read more

The food was good. That's it. I will not be back. Filthy bathroom, booths were filthy, floors. Garbage over running outside. Soap and water does wonders. Employees need to be trained on food safety. Witnessed cross contamination. There was 6 customers in restaurant, 4 employees, no excuses for how dirty it was. read more

Let me start off by saying that Qdoba is one of my very favorite restaurants EVER. I never turn it down. I walked in and noticed there was food garbage on top of the trash receptacle. The kid working was just returning with an empty trash can - hello, was it too difficult to clean off the top of the trash receptacle before you took out the trash?! I was standing there waiting for my husband to come in so I hadn't gotten in line yet. There was a guy who was getting his burrito made. The kid making his burrito got to one of the toppings he had requested, scooped it out, and then tossed it over his shoulder. Ummmm I'm sorry, as a customer, that's saying to me whatever was in that bowl was only suitable to be on the floor?!?! After seeing that, I turned around and walked out. We drove over an hour to eat in Brookings, and are now driving to Sioux Falls (2 hours away from where we live). Big thumbs down to you, Brookings Qdoba. read more

I've been a long time customer of this Qdoba primarily because of my wife's food allergy to gluten. In the beginning, Qdoba was very clean and the service was great. In the past few months though, it seems as if things are going downhill. One of the staff members seems to always try and rush through taking people's orders as fast as she can. At times, she'll take my wife and I's order and the 2 people behind us as well. This ends up creating confusion on everyone's part and creates a mess on the counter as the bean juice and rice flies everywhere. My wife also noticed several dust bunnies on top of the glass sneeze guard that we were just hoping didn't fall in the food before ours was made. I love the number of choices available and the fact that my wife can eat there without a whole lot of concern for her allergy. However, there needs to be some more effort into the keeping the place clean and not rushing people through the line. read more

What a great place to eat. My kids used to call it "Burrito Subway" as you go down the line and watch them make your food as you select ingredients. But Qdoba has so much more to offer than just burritos. I especially like the naked burrito that they put in a bowl, especially when I want the protein but don't want the carbs. We have had very few bad experiences at this Qdoba and we have had several very positive experiences. That's what brings customers back. We have also had this Qdoba cater a few different events for us without issue. The catering was always met with praise from our guests or employees. read more

I always take the veggie burrito. Good flavor and consistency. Fast and efficient service. Indoor and outdoor seating available. The only drawback I see for this joint is going in between 11.45 and 1pm on weekdays. It's crowded and you have long line of people in front of you..guess you ought to plan for longer lunch on weekdays if you plan to eat here. read more

Great food. Friendly staff. Fast service. The only reason that I didn't give it five stars is that...well, it's Brookings. It's a college town, so restaurants typically employ an ever-changing staff of part-time students. That being the case, not everyone is as well trained or experienced as he/she might be in a non-college town. (Although, sometimes this works in the customer's favor .) read more

I drive charter bus so I make food stops with groups on the norm. Usually always call ahead to let them know we are coming, but this was a last second decision and boy did they come through. Two buses of hungry college athletes all served in less than 30 min. That's almost 100 kids! Will be contacting corporate office to share my review with. read more

Food is always fresh and yummy. Love the new mini size burrito bowl. Service is fast. Atmosphere is good. Patio is nice in summer.

Hey, I enjoy Qdoba but a chain like this doesn't deserve 5 stars. The real mexican dining options in town (El Rancho and Guads) are actually cheaper during lunch and carry a full menu of excellent food. As far a the chain goes, I think the brookings location is the best one i've been in. The restaurant is always clean and the food is pretty fresh throughout the day (even when you're craving that 3:30 burrito) read more

Awful! The girl making out for looked like she was still drunk. She had no idea what she was doing, sloppy, incorrect just pushed the food along and didn't hardly ask if we wanted anything else on our food. She was rude and unprofessional. Love this place usually. Always get what we pay for. Not this time. Didn't seem like anyone cared at all. Maybe this place needs to be better managed with more consistent products. read more

We stopped on our way to the Sioux Falls airport. Enjoyed the burrito bowls and the Mexican Gumbo. Liked that they offered chips with the burrito bowls as other Qdobas don't always offer them. read more

The staff is very polite and welcoming. Food came promptly. There were many options on affordable food choices. A good choice for college student looking for an affordable off campus meal. You can eat there or take it to go making it a good choice. If you're interested in a more affordable and fast I highly suggest Qdoba as an option. If you're looking for a nicer sit down meal it may not be a good choice. Overall I had a good experience and plan on returning. read more

The staff is always friendly and quick. I like how students get free drinks with their ID! Food is always fresh and tasty. The only thing is it is a little unkept. Trash often overflowing, many dirty tables, drink station a mess. And the drink machine was out of half of the drinks. Still enjoy eating here though. read more

Best place to eat burritos in brookings. Very quick and speedy to get your order done. But I would prefer more meat:)
