I only visited Qdoba because they had a $5 off of an entree coupon through T-Mobile Tuesdays and I was informed weeks ago that you can get guac for free. I placed my order online for the next day to pick up during my lunch break. I was surprised they only had a location at Dobbin in no longer in the Columbia Mall and had to drive almost 15 minutes to pick up my food. I arrived and when I gave the young lady at check out my name she couldn't find my order. I ran inside thinking that it would be very quick and left my phone in the car so then I had to go back to get my phone to look up the order number to provide. As I scanned my emai, I saw a message about an error in transmission with sending my order to the restaurant. I informed her of this and she then spoke with a young lady who was preparing the dishes that I later found out was the manager, and asked me to place my order again. I gave her my order and I inform them of my coupon I had from T-Mobile and that's when everything changed. The manager got really nasty with me and said I couldn't use it and that it had expired. I informed her I placed the order online for pick up the next day and already paid and that it wasn't expired when I placed the order. I also showed her the QR code that was still in my app at that time although it did show an expiration date of the day prior, it was still there. She made a big fuss about it and stated that I wasn't able to use it and how it was expired. At this moment I found myself getting upset because I clearly paid for my meal the day prior and if I wasn't able to use the coupon, why did it allow me to. I definitely would not have wasted my time and would have made other arrangements for lunch. I wasn't doing anything unjust and I didn't appreciate her tone she now took with me. I was about to leave without my food and she stated that she would make an exception for me this time. I paused as I thought about how wrong this felt, then stated it wasn't an exception, it was the right thing to do since their website was malfunctioning. I have used codes like this many times before and purchased food days in advance to make sure I was still able to take advantage of the promo code. Other restaurants you're not able to do it. How am I supposed to know this was a restaurant where you couldn't do it when the order went through successfully? I really do not like when people who have the ability to correct whatever the problem is tells you they're not going to do it again. What sense does that make? How about fix your website so that this problem doesn't exist. She doesn't have to worry about doing it again for me because I won't be going back. The food was ok, however I feel like she gave me the bare minimum servings because of the confusion. read more

Ordered 3 family packs to-go for our party of 15 people and we had more than enough food! When I got there I was worried it would not be on time since it was such a large order, but they quickly put my order together and I was out by the expected time. Everything in the order was accurate even given the large order size, and everything was delicious! All the food was under $150. I will definitely be coming back and using them for catering! read more

Ordered 2 chicken burritos. After eating some of the first burrito I realized there was basically no chicken. So I opened up the 2nd burrito and separated all the chicken. It's 95% rice. 5% chicken. You be the judge. $28. Absolute scam. read more

Overall- excellent quality and quantity of food for the price and speed. Fast casual spot with gendered multi-stall restrooms. I love getting to pick all my own toppings. The chicken was delicious and I love that they have cilantro and pickled onions and jalapeños. My son loved his kids meal and we had coupons that made it even more affordable. I wasn't impressed with their chips or queso. The chips tasted a little stale and the queso was kind of bland. read more

For Cinco de Mayo, my pickup order was missing several ingredients for my chicken burrito bowl - it felt light when I pulled it out of the bag when I got home. How can preparers forget 2 types of beans, lettuce, and tortilla strips? What a disappointing meal! If there is a next time, I will have to inspect my order at the restaurant and recommend that everyone else do the same too! Management - Teach your preparers how to read! read more

The food is good. I ordered the chicken bowl. I went last night to use my 5 dollar credit from T mobile. It wasn't busy. The customer service was great. It's similar to Chipotle. They do curbside. They have a dining area. This a place for a quick bite to eat or meet up with friends for lunch. read more

Dixie and Jocelyn were wonderful 11/10. They were very attentive, helpful, and kind! Overall, customer service was great.

Ordered two bowls tonight via mobile app, one just a plain steak and rice bowl then another surf and turf bowl with a bunch of add ins. Once we got home, the steak and rice bowl was correct and then the second bowl was just a bowl of rice and jalapeños. Couldn't submit an online ticket for a refund so I tried calling the store. Spoke with 3 different people just to be told they're unable to do refunds in store. So thank you for my $14 bowl of rice and jalapeños. read more

BEWARE! I had a terrible experience, food was cold and portion sizes were ridiculously small. I was attended with terrible customer service and they didnt understand my order. They were clearly not trained well and we're incredibly rude, seemingly unable to do their job. Not to mention the bathroom and tables were disgusting and dirty, no cleaning whatsoever. STAY AWAY read more

Food and staff were great. Joseline was at the register and she was extremely nice and personable.

Liam is an amazing server with excellent costumer service. She had a very positive attitude.

Personally I love Qdoba over Chipotle. I think you get a better value for the money on the food is tastier. This one was cleaned food was pretty good. I didn't have any complaints I ended up getting a burrito bowl everything was delicious. Bathroom was clean. There is plenty of parking in the free law. If I was in the area I would definitely come back. read more

I have never had any issues with this place when ordering in person. But never, I repeat NEVER order online here. I have tried a few times over the years and they have all gone awry. Just ordered 3 quesadillas, accidentally forgot to include one in the order, not a problem I waited. Got home and the quesadillas are the most sparse thing you could imagine. They put barely any cheese, barely any meat, no pico inside. Disregarded what was requested as the side toppings. This is my 3rd attempt and I officially give up ordering online here. Do yourselves a favor and order in person if you come here read more

QDOBA Mexican Eats - Barely had anything inside - Mexican Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

I have been coming here for years, friends with the store manager. Unfortunately I have noticed a huge shift in customer service. The people here are rude, belittling, makes faces and all around should not be in customer service! I asked if the manager was available and was told he's no longer at this location. They need to bring a manager on-site immediately! They get mad when you order a side of anything even if you're paying for it but if you don't, they'll get your order wrong and you won't have anything at all! I ordered a shell bowl today just for the girl to break the entire shell because she pressed both hands on top of the lid to push it down. When I asked the cashier to help her she shrugged. I'm truly disgusted with this staff they shouldn't be left unsupervised! Update** I didn't ask for extra tomatoes and now I realized after telling the girl twice, she still put 0 tomatoes so now all I have is rice beans and corn...fun, pictures for proof! Get a manager in here please! read more

Just understand, I was the only customer in the restaurant. But small portion size and poor food quality leads me to believe that the employees were more interested in talking and fooling around with each other instead of running a restaurant. A Chicken Burrito that was absolutely un edible but combined with chip and queso, it only cost me $20 . I use to say Chipotle was a poor man's QDOBA, now I am not so sure. Heed the warning. Order with caution. read more

Company treat us for lunch at this place. The food was ok. The wrap is big that I have to take the other half home and save it later. It need more meat inside, not bunch of rice inside. This chip is kinda hard. It should be better. read more

Lilian has excellent customer service. She really is a very nice person. I really recommend this place because of her.

Unlike other Qdoba locations I've been to this one is very skimpy with their bowls. I placed my order ahead via the mobile app and when I got there, I saw that they had made a burrito instead of a burrito bowl. They quickly made a bowl but I still felt it was not full at all. Oh well! I won't go out of my way obviously to come to this location. I just happened to be nearby and needed to grab something to eat. The place wasn't ready packed. It seems like most customers do carry out orders here. read more

I've had food prepared well at this location, so I come back. I have dined here about 15 times in the last 3 years. I Also order food from DoorDash, as I did yesterday. I don't have too many complains, the staff is.... The staff. The food is the reason I go back. My only wish is consistency. Which I feel is simply if the staff followed directions probably while preparing. I must say sometimes it's the smallest things that throws the meal off. This time it was my guac. Now, it's not a fine dinning establishment, however avocados are expensive anywhere. But here is a photo of my most recent "guacamole" and let that speak for itself. - I have other things here and there that need to be addressed, however, nothing to rage about. I did give the restaurant 4 stars because of other times I have been there. read more

QDOBA Mexican Eats - impossible meat bowl - Mexican Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

I visited this Qdoba for the second time last night. I ordered a burrito with chicken, brown rice, three cheese queso, and ancho bbq sauce with a wheat tortilla. The tortilla was perfectly cooked and didn't have an over powering grainy flavor or texture. The star of the burrito was the three cheese queso. The queso had a good cheesy flavor, wasn't spicy, and blended nicely with the rice. The chicken wasn't terrible but it was chewy and there were some fatty pieces. The ancho bbq sauce wasn't bad either but nothing spectacular either. The service was fast and friendly. It's a little confusing getting to the location because it's in a shopping center off the main road. The parking lot is full of pot holes and could use a repaving. If you are just looking for a standard burrito there is no reason to go out of your way to go here. If you want good queso then you should try this place. read more

Went to the Columbia location at least once. The time I recall was in January 2018. They were running a promotion where if you went 4 times in January, you got a free bowl or burrito in February. The other 3 times I went to the Fairland location on Tech Road. I love the steak & chicken bowls at Qdoba! The line was long on that Tuesday night, but it moved relatively quickly. Unlike Chipotle, they don't upcharge for queso or guac. It's not that far from office; I should go back to this location, but either never think to, don't want that much food, or have a coupon or discount to somewhere else. read more

The worst of the worst, in every way. What was advertised: I was looking at the picture of their Nachos, a pile of crisp tortilla chips with various meats and cheezes that I could select. That is what I wanted. Ordering: Using their online ordering page for delivery food is nearly impossible. I tried 4 times before giving up and taking what I was forced to order. There were other choices listed in their confusing array of selections, but it would not accept the items I selected. Nevertheless, after accepting the items they allowed me to select, I expected a minimum of something that resembled the picture. What arrived: I received a cardboard saucer filled with slop and a paper bag filled with the remnants of well crushed chips. The slop, reminiscent of what one dumps into a pig trough, comprised all the toppings and sauces I had ordered; NOT on the chips but randomly scrambled, cold, in a bowl. The Food: It actually did taste OK, but I could hardly force myself to eat the cold slurry. It looked regurgitated. Dumping it on cold chip fragments did not help. Summary: NEVER again. Never. read more

My boyfriend and I dropped in here while waiting our turn for a haircut at Sport Clips next door, so I appreciate the convenience. The interior was fairly empty except for a few people already seated eating their lunches. There was no one in line when we joined it, and all staff were attentive, friendly, in proper uniform, and well groomed. I ordered three tacos but was not given the option for crispy or soft shell---they may very well not have crispy. I was offered corn or flour tortilla, and I chose flour. I built my own taco for $3 or so each and loaded up with every possible vegetarian ingredient that did not cost extra. Guacamole was included! The tacos tasted great, with fresh ingredients and interesting flavors. The amount I ordered was just right. I also drank a fountain beverage (root beer), which was cold, refreshing, and had the right amount of syrup (not watered down as I've abundantly experienced elsewhere). The interior is spacious, well lit, and comfortable in temperature. I did not evaluate the restroom on this visit. I noticed that there is no salsa bar, and the restaurant does not have a separate recycling receptacle next to the trash can, which is why I knocked down a star. That is quite disappointing! read more

Friendly staff keeps this location very clean. It's a qdoba, so expect better than average fast food, that might be a bit heavy on the calories, but offered at a very reasonable price. The best part is you don't feel sick afterwards like certain tex-mex competitors. Parking in this location can be a bit tight on more crowded days, so be careful backing out, as I saw a few near misses just walking in and out of this place the one time I've been. read more

Quickly popping in for dinner to go, the crew was fast and efficient. My bowl with brown rice and chicken had everything I wanted and nothing I didn't, assembled before my eyes.

Having been brainwashed via the magic of advertising in to thinking Chipotle was the best, I decided one day due to the influence of a vocal opinionated Yelper to try other things. First, I went to Moe's. It's mucho better. Then, Qdoba. It's also mucho better. Can you say queso? I admit I was less familiar with their menu so when I asked for a taco salad without lettuce (it looked browned and unappetizing), they explained I was actually ordering a bowl or something to that effect. OK. I learned something today. Woohoo! read more

great service and great food 10/10. good environment for the entire family.
