I've been a QDOBA customer for years, and this was honestly my first disappointing experience at this location. The restaurant itself was in great shape. The dining area appeared clean, the condiment station and utensils were fully stocked, and overall the restaurant made a good first impression. My mobile order was also prepared on time, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the issue began when I opened my order. I had intentionally ordered a Chicken Queso Bowl, but it had been prepared as a burrito instead. Mistakes happen, so I simply returned to the counter to let the staff know. What disappointed me wasn't the incorrect order, but the response I received. The employee who prepared my food insisted it had been made correctly and debated with me instead of reviewing my order confirmation. Even after I attempted to show my email receipt, she continued insisting it was correct and mentioned that she'd had a similar situation with another customer a few weeks earlier. That made me wonder if there could be an issue with how mobile orders display in the store's ordering system. Thankfully, another employee stepped in, reviewed the order, immediately recognized that it should have been a bowl, sincerely apologized, and remade it without hesitation. Her professionalism completely changed the direction of the interaction, and she deserves recognition for how calmly and respectfully she handled the situation. As someone who has worked in customer service, I understand that errors happen. What customers remember most is how those errors are handled. A simple acknowledgment and willingness to listen would have resolved the situation much more quickly than debating what was clearly documented on my order. I hope management looks into whether there's a disconnect between the mobile ordering platform and the in-store system if this has happened to multiple customers. More importantly, I hope this serves as a coaching opportunity regarding customer interactions. The food itself was good once it was remade correctly, and the restaurant was clean and well maintained. I would return, but I hope future interactions are handled with the same professionalism shown by the employee who ultimately resolved the issue. read more

I got a honey chicken bowl. The chicken was disgusting! Mostly innedible. There's also no outdoor seating that is safe and clean. I got hit by a homeless man and his bucket. read more

Horrible experience! Restaurant was nasty upon opening!! They have a 2.9 rating for a reason. Tables nasty, food all over the floor, carpet nasty and bathroom nasty! Please don't go here! On top of that the food tasted like it wasn't fresh and was warmed from the night before. I was trying to find a way to do 0 stars! read more

Got here at 10:35 AM since they claimed to be open at 10:30 AM was told they weren't gonna be open for another 20 minutes. What is the point of having this on the website if it's invalid? read more

Like their loyalty program and specials. Can't wait to try their shrimp. My husband and I usually get burrito bowls and enjoy them.

Watch out Chipotle Qdoba is on your heels!!! My Fam has always supported Qdoba but recently I definitely prefer them over Chipotle. This location happens to be closer to home and I can quickly put in an order online and pick up. Service is always good. My order is always right and ready when I get there. You get free queso and guacamole if you choose on your dish and they have loads more options. They also don't skimp on portions.

Service was friendly and impressively fast, food was absolutely delicious, very flavorful. Even better than Chipotle if you pick the right choices. I got a custom quesadilla, and my girl got a custom bowl, both were fantastic. read more

Literally the only restaurant open that day... I'm not sure if it's always like that but I was so glad they were... I had invited friends to meet up in that area and exchange late Christmas gifts... anyways, it was surprisingly good. My toddler loved their kids crunchy taco beef taco and my friends who are Colombian did not hate their burrito. I had a salad and I must say that even though it was overpriced the chicken was very tender, well seasoned and fresh. I might stop by again if I am ever in the area for a quick taco or snack nachos. There's plenty of parking its by supermarkets and a mall with lots around. It's a simple place and fast food, the atmosphere and ambiance is not their forte. Costumer service as well, it wasn't good nor bad, and in the food business that's not a good thing. This restaurant could use a more cheerful decor, service to go along with their food. read more

I was there and they did not give me what I asked for. I have nachos and the man who works there did a horrible job!!

Lily was rude and angry. When I asked her for a double protein bowl she seemed very unhappy to be working at the location. I was listening to my phone and she seemed furious about that I didn't hear one of her questions. She said it much louder and rudely. She then told me I should stop listening my phone and instead listen to her. I was really disappointed by the strong negative attitude. She was working July 7th and wearing yellow. -----update: She did come back and apologize for talking loudly at me. read more

The servers are really friendly. It was a struggle. I felt like they would have rather just chatted with one another with masks under their noses than serve the people inside. I came in and was the only customer for awhile. I tried to make conversation but felt rushed. I'm glad they pulled their masks over their noses to serve the food. I just didn't feel like I was welcomed. Also, some of the chips were ... GREEN (see attached photo). I wanted to ask about my points and actually cheer them up myself. Sheesh. read more

The staff was very friendly. My nacho bowl was to die for and the new Impossible protein is slammin'. I got extra queso in my bowl and then went next door to Sweet Frog and got FroYo so you know my stomach was on 1,000 the next day, but it was sooo worth it, once that juicy soy protein and savory queso graced my taste buds. It was all so good and I had a really good experience with the amicable staff. However, I just have one question for y'all... Ummmm... are y'all tryna KILL ME?! See attached photos. read more

I guess if you've eaten at one Qdoba, perhaps there won't be anything to make you say, whoa this one really takes the cake (or the burrito). But I will give this place big props on flavorful chicken. I ordered the chicken quesadilla. Very flavorful. I ordered the beef burrito to have for dinner tomorrow and I snuck a bite while it was still warm, I didn't like it as much. Maybe it was because that chicken wowed my buds or maybe I didn't like the queso sauce on the burrito. OR you know when you pick up a glass and you think it has sweet tea but it turns out to be water instead so when you sipped it you were expecting one taste but was surprised by a completely different taste. Wait, as I'm writing this example I realize this is not at all the same thing. Ok wait, you know when you eat something that lingers on your tongue but then you eat something else, it just makes that other something else tastes really weird yet that other something else might actually be really good but it didn't get a fair shake. Yea well, I'm still happy I ate the quesadilla first cuz it was bomb! Explosion of good tasting grilled marinated chicken. Get a brownie or two or three too. read more

What I like about this place is the agility of the staff on getting the food ready. The food was good but I was not impressed and the menu is a little concise. It is a great place to go if you don't have much time to sit down and wait for your food. They are also gluten free so you have food restrictions you can go without being afraid of getting sick. The manager was really nice and checked on us many times during our meal. read more

Stupid kids can't and won't wear a mask for anything. remove mask to sneeze while taking order. Come from back and not sanitize or change gloves once. Goes from touching phone and cash register to starting my order. Gross. (S Tryon, Whitehall commons) Have some respect read more

Not really impressed, the flavor of the food was bland compared to Moe's, Chipotle and Salsarita. This was 1st visit, probably want be returning. Seem like the portion size is smaller also. I ordered a taco salad with beef tips (which was greasy) with a teaspoon of Queso it end up totaling to $9.53. That was such a slap in the face. The ladies that was serving were nice but one talked a little to much to the other worker to the point where I had to repeat every freakin thing I wanted on my salad. Definitely not worth the money! read more

Only one word can describe this place. Perfect. It was SO delicious !! I enjoyed eating here with my family, I almost cried. Music was great , drinks were good, chips were perfectly crispy, pico was fresh, couldn't have been more happy. Even though I'm only eleven, I can still write reviews. I went to order my food, and the managers greeted me with a warm welcome !! They gave us our food, and I was so happy. Prices are great . And It was so worth it. In conclusion, this place is my favorite restaurant in North Carolina. You guys are doing outstanding. read more

I had forgotten all about this Qdoba until I drove by the other day. So I followed my lunchtime MO and ordered ahead using the app. My first impression when I walked in the door to pick up my food was "Why does this place smell like nasty stale cigar smoke?" And it wasn't a faint scent.... It was over powering! There is no way I could have eaten in the dining room. So I grabbed my food and ran. That being said, my meal was ready on time. It contained everything that I ordered. It was delicious. And the guacamole is always free! Yay for Qdoba and yes I will go back. But in the meantime, can someone please fix that smell? read more

I guess I was asleep at the wheel while all these burrito joints started popping up everywhere. There are quite a few of these in Charlotte now and if you had asked me a couple of years ago if something like this might have worked, I'd have said "No Way!" It's good to be wrong. Qdoba has the same basic formula as the others. As you move down the assembly line, you're asked if you want a burrito or a "naked burrito" (which is just the same stuff in a bowl without the tortilla) or a salad (again, same stuff, but now on top of lettuce). What type of meat (grilled chicken, steak, ground beef), salsa, and other toppings. I really like the grilled chicken which has a little bit of zing and other flavors to it and the corn salsa. The guacamole always tastes fresh, whether it's lunchtime or dinner time. After the burrito is assembled, grab your drink cup and hit up the soda fountain. I usually go with the sugar free lemonade, which is only 5 calories or so. They also have a small selection of beers. I can't really say that Qdoba is any better than Chipotle or Salsarita's. They all seem to have the same food and the same formula. Hit the one that's closest to you and enjoy! read more

Craving quick Mexican...Qdoba can hit the spot. It's a similar concept to Moe's or Chipotle, fresh ingredients and toppings over you choice meat with rice and beans! One thing I really like bout Qdoba is the Craft 2 deal. It's smaller portion options of some of their most popular dishes. I chose to go with the two tacos and three cheese nachos. The tacos were good, I had one with chicken and one with steak. You can add any toppings you like including sour cream and guacamole for no extra charge. The steak was a little tough but the chicken was very well seasoned. The nachos were a bit disappointing, they were layered with a heavy cheese sauce and it left most of my chips soft and wet...not how I like my nachos! I wanted and missed the crunch! Overall, I like the Craft 2 concept, the staff here were all very nice and the tacos were really good. Was it better than some of the other local Mexican joints around town...no but for quick Mexican it hit the spot. read more

Coming from someone who generally just likes cheap mexican fast food joints, namely Chipotle, I love Qdoba. I love the "craft 2" deal where you can pick 2 of anything off their menu for $7. The sauce is super spicy, yum! Plus, the people at this location are really nice, they keep it clean, and there are tables outside so you can have lunch al fresco! read more

It was my first time here. It's very similar to Moes or Salsaritas and Chipotle. There are lots of options of food to pick on your plate. I got the steak bowl. It was good. I wasn't a fan of the queso though. Red hot sauce was really good. Staff was nice and the restaurant was clean. read more

The new tacos are pretty good - I usually stick with the Drunken Yardbird. I mean, you can't really go wrong with chicken and avocado....Their queso has a spicy kick to it and it's delicious. Also they have one of those fancy Coke machines where you can create whatever drink you want. When I go during lunch it has been fairly empty and the service is quick. read more

Wost qdoba. Constant issues. Food is usually out or running out. Impossible meat us never available. District management at this franchise know the issues but the issues have persisted and never been offered a direct refund. I will not be spending any additional money here. Chipotle is down the road and has zero issues and always accommodating. I dont know how qdoba thinks it appropriate to consistently be low or out of food when your entire business is serving food. Zero stars. Dont waste your time read more

I don't really know what to say. It wasn't bad but it wasn't good? For quick-fix Mexican I guess it hit the spot. But I would definitely recommend driving down Tryon a bit to go to Sabor instead. We were hungry and wanted something fast, so this did in a pinch. Surprisingly the restaurant was completely empty for the majority of our dining experience. But after tasting the so-so flavors of their food, it wasn't that surprising anymore. Staff was friendly enough and the tables were clean, so I'll give them that. read more

If you think Mexican food and then think Taco Bell....this might be the spot for you. Admittedly the food is way better then Taco Bell it's still fast food at heart. Cheap...fast...good selection of add ons but nothing you can't find at other chain reateraunts. I got three knockout tacos and a bottle of water for less than $13 which is the cost of a small sandwich in NY so it's a good value. read more

Wanted to take a moment to shout out an amazing team member by the name of Kris. This was my second visit to this location with her present. Both times that I have visited, Kris has been absolutely pleasant. Her attitude is so welcoming. The presentation of the food being served and prepared is amazing. Also, both times that I have come, the line is ALWAYS stocked with fresh products, and everything is clean! An amazing employee like her deserves acknowledgment for the her hard work. Thank you again Kris for making my experience great! read more

The service is always quick here... That's one of my favorite things about it... I love the Fajita Ranchero burrito and since I've been attempting to eat healthier, I often opt for the bowl instead of tortilla... The nachos are good, but I wouldn't get them to go because they use queso on them... If you're taking them too far away, you end up with soggy chips... (And we all know how I feel about soggy bread products... Ick.) I do think the pricing for the queso is absolutely insane in a truly crazy way... They have it structured in 2, 4 and 6 ounces and the prices start at close to two dollars... That just seems a little steep considering it's the same container you get a side of jalapenos in everywhere else... What is that going to be dippable for? Like 3 chips? For all that, just drop a couple extra bucks at the Wal-Mart or Bi-Lo across the street and take the rest of it home... **Now serving $1 tacos every night after 7 pm... Does not apply to steak and 6 taco maximum...** read more

The health department needs to come inspect this restaurant ASAP. Disgusting! The girl was making a burrito bowl for me and only had one glove on...and somehow when she was adding a topping I requested she managed to touch the food in the bowl with her hand that did not have a glove. It happened so quick and I think I was so speechless that I paid for the food and left. But I was so disgusted I ended up throwing it away! If she did that in front of me then god only knows how the employees handle food in the back. NEVER AGAIN! read more

Eh it's fine. Chipotle just seems better - seems fresher and cleaner, etc. Dropped by here to pick up lunch around 1pm and it wasn't busy at all which is kinda nice and since they can make it right on the spot, the speed was sweet. Service was solid. It's random lunch food, what more can I say? dmo out. read more

I had an issue with my puny burrito so I asked them to remake it. I guess they thought it would be funny to make it ridiculously big to where you can't even eat it. Like oh is this what you wanted. It would be rude if I asked them to make it a third time so I guess I'll just take my business elsewhere where. read more

I love me some Qdoba, but I will always be a Chipotle girl. However, you can't go wrong with either. This location has always been super fast and food had always been made fresh. The manager here is also very nice. There have been multiple times were we will come in and they will honor our coupon, but not redeem it so we can use it again :-) The chips and queso are clutch and you can't go wrong with unlimited guac on everything. I recommend the chicken burrito bowl with extra corn and grilled veggies for starters. I love brown rice, but I would opt for the white rice here. It just tastes better! read more

Quick simple flavorful burritos- workers are friendly and helpful ! Need I say more . Burritos are Life !!

If I were to rate the best chain Tex Mex joints in Charlotte, Qdoba would be at the top of my list. It's just so much better than Moe's, Chipotle or Salsaritas. Their burritos are the best & are filled chock full of good stuff. I especially like the chicken burrito with black beans, pico, guacamole, & sour cream. It really is a large burrito & will fill you up by itself. The taste of the burrito is just so much better here than any of the other chains. As for this location, they have outdoor seating, which I'm a huge fan of. It can get pretty packed during your lunch hours, but the line moves pretty quickly & your wait shouldn't be too long. While Qdoba may not serve tortilla chips with their burritos or have a salsa bar, they still win in the taste department amongst the chain Tex Mex joints. I'd suggest several other locally owned joints before this for a burrito lunch, but I'd choose this if just considering chains. read more

This location is amazing. Excellent staff, clean and fresh food every time I visit. Oh love the new menu additions - cauliflower heaven!
