We tried the Habanero Lime Steak bowl paired with Mandarin Jarritos at this Qdoba outlet. The food was super flavourful, but the quantity can be increased. The steak was juicy, and every bite was packed with flavours. Like every QSR, service is quick, and there is ample seating at this outlet. read more

A fun fact about my younger self is that I had a Qdoba obsession. During the pandemic, I was in a phase of eating here on average once a week. One time, I ate Qdoba for dinner four days in a row. This obsession has tamed itself, but I still love Qdoba as a comfort meal, and this location hasn't let me down. I've mostly gotten it delivered, but the portions are generous! I am obsessed with their queso diablo, and the ingredients from rice and beans to chicken and salsas are so fresh and delicious. Writing this review is making me crave a bowl. read more

Ranking this amongst other fast casual places, this gets a 5. Consistently clean, never too long of a wait, and customer service is good/friendly. Food quality is consistent and always seems fresh- a solid standby option for days I forgot to pack a lunch. read more

I visit Qdoba regularly. Always satisfied. When I have guests we normally order from the Diversey location. Jenny, Izic and Angie run things smoothly. Heidi keeps me informed about the new menu items and she has made great combination suggestions. I can't get enough of the guacamole. I was informed that Diana has a lot to do with making the guacamole. Highly recommend. When I stop by in the evenings Julian and the night crew keeps the restaurant clean and the line moves well. The food is great and affordable. read more

Disappointed in the amount of protein in the burrito. Yea, I know I can ask for extra protein but I've been spoiled by going to non-chain restaurants. I appreciated the add-on of the season (guacamole), but it was no different than Burrito Beach read more

Fresh ingredients. The staff was very friendly and the kept the restaurant very clean. Overall a great place to either dine in or reliable to quick take out read more

Steak was ok, but the rice was severely overcooked and fajita veggies were undercooked. They also forgot a few of my toppings.

I absolutely love Qdoba. I know it's more of a national chain, and I love supporting local joints, you can never go wrong with qdoba. And since it's a national chain I don't mind saying things like Qdoba is waaayyyy better than chipotle. My go to entree is their Chicken Queso Burrito. I used to order the actual burrito, then their naked burrito with a side of tortilla, and now watching the carbs a little bit, I just skip the tortilla in its entirety. When you get fresh white rice, it taste so delicious. They add cilantro and lime to make it taste awesome. Next add some pinto beans with fresh grilled chicken. The chicken is so flavorful, juicy and tender. They're queso sauce is to die for. This for whatever reason they tend to skimp you just a tad bit. They're never generous with the queso sauce. But I refuse to pay extra for double. Just have to hope that they fill that spoon up. I keep it simple after that. Just habanero hot sauce, cheese and sour cream. I skip the lettuce. Don't want a salad for lunch. That's my go to, but they're quesadillas are also on point. Unfortunately, they have recently changed their menu up a little bit. They changed all their sauces and have eliminated their tortilla soup. That soup was delicious, but unfortunately gone. As long as they don't change their rice, chicken and queso sauce, I'll still be coming back. read more

Stopped by here to pick up dinner. There's plenty of toppings and options but the sauces were a bit tasteless. Our meal was fine but was definitely lacking flavor. read more

I have to say that I prefer Qdoba over Chipotle. Who doesn't want a choice of free guac??? And free queso??? AMAZING. And the crispy veggies over the small and soggy ones at Chipotle is a big winner for me. I only wish that there were more locations open around the city. I have been to this location many times and have also ordered for delivery. I have to say that delivery can be a hit or miss in terms of the amount of food that you get and I sometimes don't even get some sides that I request. Might be that when I do order it is for later in the day but then I wish that the website would show what sides are not available to add instead of just creating a very small bowl. read more

This place has really good burritos and has a lot of ingredients to pick. The service is good, but the menu is small.

Always very helpful. I've had to call to make adjustments to online orders and they are great and accommodating. Way better than Chipotle and you're not being upcharged for every little thing. read more

Lighting fast staff when I went in. The food was well prepared, queso hot, everything good. Was in and out in about 90 seconds.

Food ight, I wish the fajitas were cut and cooked a bit better. Service was nice the employees were kind

Had lunch at Qdoba recently, and I ordered the Grilled Chicken Quesadilla. I like the way they put a nice char crust on the chicken then you choose what you want for the fillings. They grill the quesadilla to perfection with the cheese oozing out as you pick up a slice. The restaurant is modern and clean. They get you in and out in no time. I would definitely go back again. read more

This QDOBA location does a pretty good job especially during peak times. I had a nice young lady who served me and was quick on her feet, clear and understanding. My burrito bowl was made just how I wanted it. The only thing I wished for to be honest, is that my server would ask if I wanted guacamole. The guacamole isn't as apparent in the selections until you get to checkout, and by then it's a bit late to bother with the order. I'm not really sure if it is treated as an extra here? Concerning the up-keep of the location. I think the workers here do a pretty good job from what I've seen in the main dining area. read more

QDOBA Mexican Eats - Adobo Chicken Burrito Bowl - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Service was quick and friendly. They give good portions. I almost forgot to scan my rewards but the cashier reminded me so I was thankful.

I stopped in to have a late lunch/ early dinner. I see my favorite evening crew working. I really enjoy the food, but I enjoy the customer service even more. This is my favorite go to spot for lunch. I know that not many Qdobas exist in the city anymore, but this will always be my go to location. The staff are so easy going. Also this location offers so much diversity. Also, the employees work to keep this establishment really clean. It's nicely decorated and well lite. Even on rainy and snowy days, you'll never see track marks from the constant flow of customers. I enjoy that this location is fully staffed. You'll never run into having to wait in long lines. It appears that All employees come here to work. Everyone pulls their weight at this establishment. The food is always fresh, and the employees are so down to earth. Also, there is not big turn over with the staff as with other restaurants chains. I've seen the same faces for the past 4 years. I want to know Qdoba's magic in retaining employees and customers. Anyways, that's all for now Yelpers. read more

GREAT Staff!!!! Not many recent reviews? Blame it on Yelp. Their phone app makes it impossible to leave a review without going through my Google account or some other invasive route. Accessed through my tablet. Back to the point of Yelp - A review so their readers can select a business. GREAT Staff. Ordered through GrubHub for delivery. Was unable to indicated I wanted 2 helpings of an item in their "Pick 6" for the bowl meal in. After I placed order I contacted this restaurant and the person who answered could not have been nicer. It was hard to find my order because of a little bit of name confusion. I felt l was taking up his time. He said a few times not to worry about it. Quick preparation = quick delivery. The bowl was very good and my coveted "Fajita Veggies" were delicious. CHIPS! The best. crispy, not greasy, lightly salted with fine salt. read more

Food is pretty bomb but the service has been bad both times I've been to this location. Some of the workers here are so rude and just seem annoyed. Today (my 2nd time ever having Qdoba) I had a couple questions about my burrito bowl. Every time I started speaking the girl making my bowl would turn and walk away! When I stopped speaking she'd turn back around and continue with my bowl. It was so mean and kind of embarrassing for me. I don't think I'll come back just so I don't have to deal with the unpleasantness. read more

First off let me say Qudoba is the real deal. The food is outstanding and the customer service is unbeatable. I went to 100 N. Lasalle and Beatha the cashier was leading by example. Her customer service was one to be proud of. And for that I give the restaurant and her two thumbs up. read more

I love this location the food is delicious and the service was great all were friendly and the restaurant was clean definitely I will recommend this location . read more

I like Qdoba generally, but when I stopped in here at around 930 tonight, the gentleman working the counter must have been having a bad day... No greeting when I walked in, and as I spent about ten seconds looking at the menu, turned his back to work on other chores. Yes, he made me feel like a chore. After walking me through the line of toppings without making eye contact, he took my card for payment, asked if I wanted a receipt, and then walked away without another word, leaving my bag across the counter for me to gather up. I'm not being high maintenance, this was just an unfriendly experience. Five stars for the awesome burrito bowl, -2 stars for the service... read more

The food is good I'll start by saying that, but this location is so cheap with the amount of meat and veggies they put on your bowl. It's hard to not go to this location for me because it's the closest, but every time I end up regretting it because of the cheap amount of food they put on the bowl. I've even asked for extra and no joke she did like one more little veggie piece. It's a joke. If you get the old lady be prepared for basically no meat and all rice. read more

Food is fine, but the service at this place leaves a lot to be desired. The employees are consistently unpleasant and difficult.

I'm sorry but it was just horrible. My friend taco shell bowl was old and stale. This is not the first time this has happened to me at this location. I called and asked for the supervisor and she told me these taco bowl shells are fried everyday but she was obviously lying. I had gotten a T-Mobile app coupon and they did not know how to help me with it very rude. So anyway I went back to get a new bowl but that she'll was also stale in surprise. As I was telling her what to put in the bowl she plopped the food like she was mad into my new lunch bowl. I should be the mad one I went home to get had to get dressed again , get into my car and drive there for a second time. Just better customer service I was nice you guys were rude to me now I know why you are not busy. Sorry BUT IM 100 percent right read more

I had the BEST experience at this Qdoba recently and I feel it's worth sharing. I haven't been in years so I wasn't sure what I wanted and what was free or cost extra, and the guy making my bowl let me sample the Queso and Guac, add veggies and chicken for free, and then refilled my Queso sample cup on my way out so that I could have extra Queso for my leftovers. I haven't had great service at a fast food chain like this in a while and it was such a breath of fresh air. Thanks, Qdoba!! read more

Yesterday I stopped In for a quick lunch because I was on a time crunch. I love Adobe because you get your food super fast which is super nice when you have a 30 minute lunch break. I came here for the chicken! I highly recommend getting salsa in yours because it really ties all the flavors together. I wish tried the steak because my friend told me it's better then the chicken. Parking was not hard to find I was able to find a spot right in front. read more

This Qdoba location is right down the street from my job which is very convenient for me. In the past 3 months or so I've eaten lunch nd dinner from this Qdoba probably 3 or 4 times. Each and every time I got the chicken burrito bowl and I was not satisfied. The chicken had a funny taste to it. I cant really explain it but it wasn't good. Maybe I'll try the steak if I decide to visit this location again but as for now they get 2 stars because the chicken was horrible. The only good thing I can say about this location is that the service is very fast and efficient. read more

QDOBA Mexican Eats - Chicken burrito bowl with lettuce, tomatoes, onions and cheese. - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Fresh and flavorful 10 out of 10 will recommend my daughter put me on to this place and I've been very satisfied from here on out

I love this location. Never crowded, the employees are always--and I really mean always--energetic and seem to enjoy pleasing customers, and the restaurant is conveniently next to the Diversey station on the Brown Line. Qdoba recently changed their process, so all the things that used to be add-ons such as queso and guacamole are now free. I also like their loyalty program--easy to use, and lots of ways to redeem points for food. read more

I cannot for the life of me distinguish this place from Chipotle from a food/set-up/service standpoint. Bear in mind I've only ever been to either place maybe a handful of times over the years....to me they just aren't that good. Qdoba gets an extra star for their 5-star, shot-worthy Queso so it brings it right to A-ok. With the abundance of fantastic taco stands and Mexican fare around Chicago these sort of places should stick to the Suburbs and cities that have a complete lack of choices for Mexican food. Or maybe just only serve up their 5-star Queso. Sorted! read more

They are being SO skimpy with the chips the past year with the chips and queso. It's absolutely ridiculous. I had to go to another store to actually buy more chips. Total waste of money. read more

QDOBA Mexican Eats - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I had the chicken bowl with rice, beans, peppers, corn, cheese, and lettuce. I actually really liked the bowl maybe about the same as Chipotle just next time I won't get the peppers in it. The service was quick and hopefully next time I will try the brownie. read more

Fast food non-authentic Mexican category: I'll give 'em 4 stars. We strolled in for burritos with all the fixins' a little before 11pm tonight... yes, they're open 'til 11pm on the weekdays! The first signature burrito that caught my eye was the poblano pesto, and you know what they say about trusting your gut (and a hungry one at that!). I dig the cilantro lime rice (cilantro anything, really) and they're quite generous with their toppings. I also hear they that don't use lard, and that their beans are vegan. So maybe they're a bit healthier than some of the Mexican joints slinging burritos out there? Still, I'm well aware of what I'm getting myself into: a huge flour tortilla filled with chicken, rice, cheese, salsa and sour cream is NEVER lo-cal. Friendly, fast service and a parking lot. In Lakeview for crying out loud! Alright, you're on the list, Qdoba! read more

Authentic? Who cares... you pretentious yelpster foodie. The chips are addictive. Sure, you scoff when the big scoop is raised to fetch your order... but then you start trying to haggle and score more chips. Before you know it, you have salsa, guacamole, sour cream and queso. Then it's all gone and you are already contemplating when you are going to devour even more though your stomach is full, you are a little pained from eating too much. Ow. More Please. I want. I think. Mmmmm... roll me out. read more

You're probably wondering why I am giving a chain faux Mexican restaurant five stars? Well, if you're a wannabe fatty boombatty like me, you maybe aren't wondering. You probably already know. one word. QUESO! I won't lie. I came here on Saturday night for an order of chips and queso. The sweet woman at the line asked, "Anything else?" Nope. Just chips and queso. That was my dinner on Saturday night. It's delicious, gooey, creamy, delightful, yummy and the answer to all of life's problems. I grew up in a home without things such a queso. My mom was a crazy marathon lady. She created a grown woman who will eat hot cheese and warm chips for dinner. Thanks, mom! The woman (manager?) was super fast and efficient on a busy Saturday night. My only tiny complaint about this store is that they are sometimes out of iced tea. How can I truly be happy without a huge paper cup of iced tea? Besides there being ample free parking in the lot, the best part about this place is that it's right next door to Lover's Lane! How can you not love a night of hot Mexican food AND HOT mannequins dressed in ridiculous clothing?! The male mannequin is always dressed particularly sexy, but I truly do wonder what is happening in his undies. What's in there? Maybe I will get finally meet the man of my dreams who will take me on a night great big fun. Dinner at Qdoba. Dessert at Lover's Lane! read more

I just want to take the time recognize that management and staff at the Chicago - Diversey location. I had dinner there last night with my husband and our 3 month old. The manager and staff were very courteous and helpful. They went above and beyond with assisting us since our hands were full (diaper bag in my hand and 3 month old in carseat in my husband's hand). This Qdoba location is not close to our home but we will definitely go out of our way to eat here more often. read more

I went to the Yelp event, which already pushes this to three stars, because any restaurant willing to give me a free entree because I review things for fun --and therefore there's a possibility I might not review them favorably-- is pretty awesome. Anyway, the roommates (gf, bff and myself) and I were broke, so this was the perfect chance. My girlfriend and I had been to Qdoba before, bff had not. The girl wasn't a huge fan. So basically I'm the one talking up Qdoba and its queso and giant burritos here. Yet, everyone walked away happy. We walked in the door and were immediately greeted by a friendly woman who I assume is the manager who offered to point my less Qdoba-familiar friend in the right direction (she declined, but still, nice); the staff was friendly and engaged, and we got the drinks and normally extra condiments for free too -- yes, you heard that right, those little traps that usually make people pay for coupons were on the house -- which made my ENTIRE MEAL FREE. I mean, it's a Qdoba. Fast "Mexican" food. It has a number of variations on burritos, tacos, nachos, etc. For meat-eaters there's a range of fajita chicken, carne asada beef, etc, but obviously I haven't tried any of that. For me - there are a number more vegetarian options than Chipotle, which I like, and it also has really good queso, which I will be back for. (Weirdly enough, queso fundido of the actual "dip" kind has been INCREDIBLY hard to find around here, even at decidedly Tex-Mex places.) Their tortilla soup is vegetarian, which is awesome, and the manager helpfully informed us that the beans are too, which is a concern sometimes. I wish the place would take a hint from Moe's and invest in some tofu, but still. Good times. New-ish on their menu seems to be a Panera-like "you pick two" (I believe it's "craft 2" for Qdoba) option which offers two from a selection of smaller portions of nachos, tacos, soup, or...a couple other things (I will be back for tortilla soup and tacos, oh yes). Add to that the fact that this is one of the NICEST Qdobas I've ever been in, really clean and pretty, and that we were talking all night about how much more cheap and tasty this place is than Chipotle, and the only reason this isn't getting five stars is because, well, it feels wrong to give a fast food place five stars. (Also, their water button on the soda fountain wasn't serving water.) Four and a half? Definitely. read more

Pro: guacamole is fresh and yummy. Cons: I've tried this numerous times thinking I am choosing the wrong combinations... But no... I wish they had corn tortillas, first off... I feel like the flour tortilla is thick and stretchy. Secondly nothing has flavor!!! Does not taste authentic AT ALL to whoever stayed it is... Tried to put the spicy salsa on and it want even spicy... Just bleh. read more
