I remember years ago when Qdoba first opened in Denver. Quick serve bowls were not a thing yet, and Qdoba was ahead of its time. The OG before Chipotle came along. Anyways. It had been a really long time since I have had it. Staff were friendly and efficient. Lots of topping choices. The guacamole was the star of my meal. I tried both the chicken and the ground beef and did not love either. For $10 (!), it was a reasonably tasty and very filling meal. read more

Not a bad place, but it was a bit hit and miss. I liked the vibe and the customer service, but the food had be a bit questioning things. I got the shredded pork bowl with white rice and toppings. Compared to other competitors like this restaurant, they really are shy on proportions. It was a quarter size scoop of meat and half a scoop or rice. They did a gigantic scoop of veggies but the meat and rice was barley there. I couldn't taste the meat to see what it taste like. read more

This place was my go to. But during my recent visit the server was very rude and they could not understand what I was trying to say. I asked if they could call someone else or mangaer and it turned out she was the manager. But I am really disappointed in Qdoba after my last visit and I ended up just cancelling my order as they were so rude. I wold probably not go back after this experience. It used to to one of my favorite to go spots as the food was always decent. read more

First time here. I was amazed how good the steak quesadilla was. So much ingredients and delicious. And good value for the price. I had to take half of it home because I couldn't eat the whole thing. read more

Food is fresh, service is so quick when I place an item line order and restaurant always appears clean and tidy when I go to pickup! The bowls are always over flowing with great food. The free guacamole is one of the main reasons I come here and it's so much food for only $11. It's right next door to me so this makes it so easy to order online and go pick up when I'm hungry and don't want to think much about what to get! This will always be a quick go to! read more

I have been been to the Qdoba Grandview once over 10 years ago, I have been going to the The Ohio State University campus location since it is on the busline. I was not disappointed. I enjoyed the spicy chicken and queso in bowl and the toppings are free on a burrito, bowl, or tacos. Great service from the staff at Qdoba and have Coca-Cola Freestyle like the campus location. I had the half Cherry Vanilla Coca-Cola Zero Sugar and other half Cherry Vanilla Diet Dr. Pepper. I will do the Orange Vanilla Coca-Cola Zero Sugar because it tastes like a Dreamsicle. The place has 2 televisions and quiet place. During the Pandemic, they were only takeout only. I will be going back to the Qdoba in Grandview soon. read more

We had QDoba catered for our company lunch, and I must say... I prefer it to Chipotle! There are so many great flavors and toppings that QDoba just does so well. The pico tastes fresh, the guac is smooth and delicious, the queso even has extra flavor to it-- without taking away from the cheese. And, the chicken was great. Not too spicy, juicy--not dry, and cut up to a perfect size. Definitely recommend! The only thing that would make QDoba better is if they washed their black beans a bit more. I know, I know. Some prefer the black bean juices... but I think they're best washed until they are straining clear water. Anyways.... read more

QDOBA Mexican Eats - Bowl - Mexican Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

I'm done arguing with LAMBS over the fact that QDOBA is a far superior product than CHIPOTLE by leaps and bounds. Chipotle has tasteless proteins, bare bones minimal toppings, plain old white rice, and poor customer service. For example why do some spots do Quesaritos yet the next location acts like they don't know WTF your talking about or just flat out won't make it with their lazy asses. Folks that eat CHIPOTLE believe the Earth is flat, man never landed on the moon, magic bullets and Kennedy was never assassinated, Tupac is alive in Cuba, and the 2020 election was STOLEN. Believe what you want, I'm not wasting my short time on this Earth arguing with yall. QDOBA is better than CHIPOTLE by a mile PERIOD! read more

I always love visiting Qdoba! The workers are always friendly, food is hot, and since it is build your own style it's quick! I love all of the options Qdoba has. You can truly make a different type of entree every time. I typically load up on majority of the veggies. I also love that queso and guac are included in the total. For two people we can get all of this food and spend around $20 which is amazing, especially with how expensive food is these days! There is a convenient parking lot at this location and it's typically not busy when we go so I definitely recommend stopping here for a quick lunch or dinner! read more

I haven't been to QDOBA in years but after a very lacking chipotle visit, we gave QDOBA another try. So pleasantly surprised! Made our own burritos and the only thing wrong with our orders was I was missing my jalapeño salsa on the side. First off, the burritos are massive! You also get to choose a lot of toppings, which is a plus. I chose steak adobo and my husband got the birria brisket. Both were very tasty! One thing I'd mention is everything had a slightly smoky/roasted flavor. I can't figure out which ingredient had it but that's not my favorite flavor. Next time I may try a few less toppings to narrow down which thing has that flavor. Maybe it's a salsa? I wish I knew. All in all, it's a solid choice for this type of food and I will try it again for sure! Maybe a bowl next time so I don't stuff myself with burritos again! read more

1. The Service: quick and accurate. The workers were friendly and they gave "healthy" portions (they always give more than chipotle) 2. The Food: I ordered a bowl: chicken, white rice, black beans, corn, salsa verde, pico de gallo, sour cream, fajita veggies, shredded cheese, lettuce, and guacamole. I asked for the melted queso to be put on the side. I highly recommend doing that because if you have chips at home, you can dip them! The food was delicious. I can never finish a whole bowl in one sitting, so it makes great for two meals! 3. Great quick casual restaurant. I recommend! Plus, okay, not to knock on Chipotle again, but the service Is just so much faster and it's less crowded at Qdoba. read more

Wonderful stuff they got going on here. Best Qdoba I have been to. Remarkable portions

This place is really, really consistent with their food. For all the online ordering I do, they have never yet messed up my order. I'm specifically referring to the W 5th Ave- Columbus store. Great service every time. These guys/gals are rock solid! read more

Came here for a quick meal. Parking was easy as they have a lot out front. The service was quick and the staff was friendly. I've wanted to try the Impossible Burger as a protein and really liked it. I like that QDOBA has more variety of toppings and sauces. Overall great experience and solid fast-casual restaurant! read more

Qdoba never disappoints in my eyes. The quality of their food is always wonderful. Even though you can't really see what is in the bowl. Pros of qdoba: free queso and free guac!!! It doesn't get better than that. The staff was quick and there wasn't any wait. They have a ton of parking and their restaurant is easily accessible. read more

QDOBA Mexican Eats - Chicken Burrito (or Burrito Bowl) - Mexican Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Wanted something simple and semi-healthy, and this fit the bill. In a pretty new building on 5th, it is easy to find and has decent parking. Service was friendly and fast. We got a couple of bowls, and chips and guac. The chips were pretty standard, the guac fresh and tasty. My bowl had brown rice, brisket, both salsas, spicy queso. Tasty, filling, reasonably cheap. The brisket was better than I expected. Since Chipotle is pretty much off our menu, Qdoba and other fast-casual Mexicanish places are in the running. Sweetie likes it, I'm fine with it, and it's certainly a decent place with food that's better than fast food. read more

Again awesome. So far of all the restaurants that are setup this way, this is by far my favorite. The quality of the food is a main reason that I drive past several of the other guys to get to a Qdoba. Almost everything is freshly made. Again, this is more than the other guys do. They also have several options that are not available at the other guys. The queso is amazing and they even have different flavors of queso. The price is about the same as the others. You can get a quesadilla made however you want it...yoummy. No matter what or where I am I will drive across town to get here. I cannot get enough. read more

I like Qdoba because it does some things better than other burrito chains. The first is that orders come without food poisoning. It also has no charge for guacamole. It also has a few specials. The unfortunate thing is they are more expensive. I like whatever we have eaten there. It has a lot better quality than other similar restaurants. The burritos are about $7 each. In a combo meal including a drink and tortilla chips it's about $9. They also have a Coca Cola freestyle machine which kicks ass. In addition to burritos they also have bowls and tacos. They also have lots of specials. I like the food at Qdoba. They aren't the cheapest and sometimes the service is really slow. Will come here over other burrito chains any chance we get though. read more

This was my first time trying Qdoba. It's similar to Chipotle in that you can order burritos and bowls and you have them add your toppings. They also have nachos which I might try next time I go. I ordered a bowl with white rice, chicken, black beans, tomatoes, cilantro and some Chipotle ranch drizzled on top. I enjoyed my meal, though in comparison to Chipotle, I like Chipotle better because their cilantro rice is so flavorful. I thought the Qdoba rice didn't have that much flavor, but, I still liked the bowl overall! read more

This is my favorite Qdoba. Now that they have the pickup station I may have to order more often. The remodeling that was recently done was fantastic. I love the nachos and I love the location. read more

So quick, friendly staff, super clean, FRESH, HIGHLY RECOMMEND. The lady who worked there had a constant smile on her face.

The food is always great & the customer service is always excellent. This is the best Qdoba location in all of Columbus to me.

I am a huge Chipotle addict, but every time I come to Qdoba - which is just down the street from Grandview Chipotle - I leave wondering why I don't at least switch it up more often and come to Qdoba. The menu kicks Chipotle's butt - way more selections, way more ingredients for the standards. And the three cheese queso. Oooooh the queso. Worth coming JUST for queso. The lobby here is much more cozy and inviting than that of Chipotle, too. P.S. I love how everyone's review of Qdoba centers around Chipotle. That's like writing a review of Applebee's and saying "It's no Fridays!" (But hey, I did it too.) read more

What a terrific place. I'm not a huge fan of Mexican cuisine, authentic or otherwise, but my first time in a Qdoba Mexican Grill and I found a few items that I could love. When you stop in you must try the three-cheese queso with the nachos. I can also recommend the Grilled Quesadillas. The grilled chicken quesadilla, with sour creme was great. The serving sizes were just right. The nacho chips were a bit to salty for my taste, but I know most people love their salt. read more

Looking for a healthier option for eating out? Qdoba! The variety of options meets dietary needs. The Romaine lettuce is use in the meals and not mixed with iceberg is a huge plus for those who can't eat iceberg. Options of veggies, and protein were fresh and plentiful. The staff is friendly. I will definitely eat at Qdoba again. read more

This is a cushy Chipotle...carpet, and flat-screen tv in the dining area. I had a bogo entree coupon for my birthday (sign up for rewards online) so my husband and I stopped in for dinner last night. I had an awesome veggie burrito: whole wheat tortilla, brown rice, grilled veggies, queso, guac, lettuce, corn salsa, and pico. I will definitely go back. It's also nice you get points with each purchase. read more

Q-Doba's tagline is an easily answered question. "What are you going to love today?" Queso sauce. Chipotle has better guac, better pork, better chicken, better salsa. For queso, though, Q-Doba is the place. Join the e-mail club for periodic buy-one-get-one offers, because they really up the value quotient. I usually won't go without one in hand. read more

I normally don't like writing reviews on chain/franchise restaurants (heck, I sometimes don't even like admitting that I GO to them), but I figured since I go to this Qdoba fairly often I should go ahead and write one. I really like the 5th Avenue location because the employees are always very nice and willing to answer any questions you may have. They're always very knowledgeable about all the ingredients they use, which (at this location) are usually very fresh. Are you getting tired of the limited menu at Chipotle? Give Qdoba a try. I'll admit that I like Chipotle's burritos more, but I don't go to Qdoba for their burritos--I go for the Mexican Gumbo and Taco Salad. It's by no means a fine dining experience or even authentic Mexican cuisine, but if you're going to go to a "Mexi-American" fast food location why not go to a place that uses quality ingredients, like this one? read more

Quick beef burrito with ground sirloin instead of shredded beef? The Q is the only choice. Many converts from that other chain. The side of chips is large enough to share, too, so we take turns buying sides. As noted by others, many BOGO specials and a loyalty program that gives you a free entree for every ten purchased. Good speedy fare for those who like Mex/American. read more

I love this place. Mainly because of the options. A cheese quesadilla? Good luck finding a place to get that for a quick takeout! It is delicious, as well. Even adding in the chicken for a bigger appetite is a solid choice. I'm also a big fan of their guac. It has onions, so beware - but I prefer that taste. I have gotten a Queso Burrito one time, and goodness it was bigger than my head. But way tastier than Chipotle. I'm biased, though. I am not a fan of Chipotle at all. This location is clean, friendly, and fast. Not to mention with a student ID everything is 5.50 w/ a drink. Such a steal! read more

Went to Qdoba for lunch today. I typically go to Chipotle, but thought I'd switch it up a bit. I wish I hadn't. First, the price. It was a few dollars more for the same type of Chipotle meal. I was charged a dollar for adding fajita veggies! Also, chips and guac cost over $3. I just thought it was a bit much, especially when Chipotle uses fresher ingredients! My other issue was the freshness and taste. My naked chicken burrito was not bad, but the peppers and onions were cut in huge pieces, so they weren't really integrated into the mix. Also, the chips were way overly salted and the guac had a slightly brown color. Qdoba does have more sauces, but I'll stick to Chipotle. read more

I usually really like this place. It's decently priced and good but I just had a burrito and spit out a piece of metal a little bigger than a staple. I'm kind of worried there could have been more and hoping I didnt swallow any. read more

I love Chipotle. I love Chipotle and when my wife forced me to go to Qdoba, I felt like a cheater. Hell, Qdoba is a Chipotle rip-off!!!!! Same menu, ingredients, salsas, etc. But..... Qdoba is my new #1 burrito fix due to their shredded beef. The beef is very very tender, super-moist and has a great tex-mex flavor that matches w/any combo of burrito fillings. The only other discernable diff from Chipotle is that Qdoba's cheese has a lil more tang to it...or at least I think so. So congrats to Qdoba for not being a total Chipotle ripoff by serving crave-worthy shredded beef!!!! read more

The food is good. Not amazing. And they nickel and dime you for everything. "You want fajita? That will be an extra dollar." I understand that I have to pay for a meal, but their main competition is chipotle and you're not going to adopt their better methods? Also, if you see any signs that talk about deals, don't believe them. They have a "summer" deal where you get a free Entrée with the purchase of one. That was the whole reason I went today but apparently, that sign has been up since November and means nothing. Staff is apathetic at best and their cool soda machine is usually out of the staple drinks. Poor restaurant at best. read more
