Stopped here while passing through Council Bluffs and I'm really glad I did. Fresh food, solid portions, and the staff was friendly and quick. Not what I expected from a random highway stop -- this place was legit. Would definitely swing by again if I'm ever back in the area. read more

Been to this location countless times. Always clean, always great service. Santi was very professional, and helpful with hot sauce selections. Anthony is the man, loaded me up on my sour cream. All around clean, and enjoyable experience. 10/10 read more

anthony and braden were so kind to me and my boyfriend. Great customer service 10/10 they need a raise immediately

In town for an event, used to eat at Qdoba often but they all went out of business out here. Burritos used to be big enough that you felt like you should win a T-shirt for finishing it. The $15 burrito I got here was smaller than a $3 Del Taco burrito and everything in it besides the rice was cold. Maybe I caught them on a bad day but I won't go out of my way to eat at other locations. read more

Customer service was great my baby had made big mess as babies do, and Tatum made parent life much better when I was trying to clean it up she told me not to worry about it as she cleaned it up! Also was just very nice read more

Was on a road trip and stopped here at 945 pm. Not my favorite to get to a restaurant near closing but i was on the road and happy to find a familiar place. I walked in and immediately noticed over half of the food was put away, with no serving spoons in sight. Two customers were being checked out and a couple more sitting outside so i know it wasnt a dead spot. The girl stared at me and back down at all of the food put up and then back back at me and back down at having no spoons to do her job because she wants to go home at exactly 10:00 and not a minute later. So I said hello how are you. And she sputtered fine what can i get you. I then had to wait for her to go get a small plastic bowl to scoop out any ingredient they had left, which was less than half. Cold half meat portion, no queso, no sour cream, cheese all out, no guac. Chips were "gone" for the first time I've ever visited a qdoba in my entire life. I wanted to just decline the meal and go somewhere where it felt like i wasnt hosed so bad but i was on the road and i just wanted to get back out and on my way. What an awful experience though. read more

Love qdoba! However, the last few times I wanted the cheese crusted quesadilla and each time they couldn't make it because they didn't have parchment paper. Just a disappointment when ya girl has a craving. I feel like parchment paper is an easy thing to obtain? read more

service is amazing! lovely people and a good place overall! would definitely recommend this place to someone out of town!

I felt like they couldn't get me out of there fast enough. We went in and I was ordering 2 burritos and 2 bowels.. So at first things went OK. They asked what we wanted and seemed friendly and made the 1st burrito and bowel with a smile. But after I mentioned I had 2 more items I needed. The other guy came up and said what do you want and before I could finish my sentence, he was abrupt and lacking patience as he stopped the food into the bowl, kept saying ok what's next? What's next? Etc then he proceeds to slide the bowl to the next person almost spilling the food out of the bowl. There was no reason for his impatient behavior as there was just one other family sitting and eating and no one in line behind us. This had been my first time in the restaurant and I won't be going back ​​ read more

We had an amazing experience! Cynthia is a Qdoba HERO! She knows each product, emphasizing the made fresh qualities and helped us navigate the myriad of options. The salad, steak, guacamole, and hot salsa were delicious! But the SERVICE was a refreshing example of excellence in food service QSC! The whole team was friendly, our visit was 4:15PM on 5.28.2022. Congratulations team! You hit it out of the park! read more

Ordered a bowl of rice with chicken, got a tiny serving. The serving size for the same thing was much larger for the same price. The company should have a tighter hold on consistency between stores. read more

Fresh and tasty enough, sometimes you just don't want a burger when seeking fast food e0r lunch. Today I tried the mango sauce and I really enjoyed it, I kinda want it again tomorrow! read more

My guilty pleasure, Qdoba. Love their burritos. I get the queso burrito with whatever meat that I'm in the mood for every time I go. The burritos are about $7-$8 a piece, which is a little steep, but the burrito is pretty massive. The ingredients are always fresh and the burritos are made to order so you can get whatever you want on them. I've been to Qdoba many times and I will go back many times more. read more

I asked for chicken but the man in a pony tail tells me they're out of chicken but I see a full stack grill of cooked chicken. Idk what that means maybe he didn't wanna walk back for fresh chicken or didn't want to cut it up. Made me over spend on steak when I could've spend less and could've had some nice fresh chicken. Plus I'm in town for work and food paid for but still, I wanted some chicken. read more

As a out of state college student I was ecstatic when I discovered Council Bluffs has Qdoba. The staff seems to have a high turn over rate (I definitely dine in too frequently) but the service is always fantastic. Yesterday my friends and I choose to dine in and take a break from the busy thanksgiving shopping crowd. While we were seated at our table an older woman was at the check counter. The employee had regretfully told her the chip reader on the register was not working. The lady was very let down because she didn't know how to use Apple Pay and didn't carry cash. The young ladies working, I wish I got their names, told the lady it was on the house and to enjoy her meal. This was very heart warming especially right before the holiday season. The young ladies showed grace and faith. The older woman was in complete shock and very thankful. Even offered to bring cash back to the restaurant to make things right. The ladies at the counter refused to take money from her. I'm very proud of the Qdoba staff and have no issues with the restaurant at all. I highly recommend this establishment for anyone looking for a clean, quick, and friendly dine in experience. read more

It appears I now am a Qdoba fan, as I have been reviewing them all over town lately. This time, I'm in Council Bluffs, and hey, consistent still reigns King. Clean facility, and my burrito was just as good as the last location. Entered hungry, left fat and happy minus a couple bucks. Fast food done right. read more

I heard another burrito place was giving teachers a buy one get one free. I got confused and went to Qdoba because it was closer. When I told the Manager about the other places deal she gave me a free drink. Very thoughtful. I love the cheese dip and husbands burrito was very full contained tasty beef and everything else he loves. My bowl was only half full. I added more lettuce at home. The chicken was good. But a bit dry. I ll probably return to try something different but positively chips and dip. read more

This place is always very clean and service is great. I come to this one because the food is alway Consistent on being good and fresh. I like picking the craft 2 because you can pick different combos on what to eat. I've never had a problem with anything not being good here ! read more

The restaurant was clean and had okay service. It took awhile for the food to be served but that's okay. I would say that it could be comparable to chipotle, although I like chipotle better. I would recommend he prime time nacho in spicy chicken. If you can't stand heat then I wouldn't recommend it because it is pretty spicy. Overall okay experience. read more

I have been disappointed that they discontinued the shredded beef. The brisket is way too smoky.

You know what you're getting. I only go for the buy one get one free coupons that I get sometimes. I recommend the burrito bowl. Good portions and really bomb queso read more

YUM!! Really good food, pretty fast service. Seriously , really incredibly awesome tasting food! Highly recommend. read more

See all

Sorry Chipolte. As much as I love organic and local food, I'm a queso lover -- and for that I'll always have to pick Qdoba over you. That, and I always start craving faux-Mexican food after 9 p.m. when you're already closed. Now, the staff at this location are wonderful. I'm a regular, and they always remember my usual order. And I don't know what that other guy is talking about, but this place has been very clean every time I've visited -- and as a germophobe I'm picky about that stuff. On my last visit, the manager even brought out free cookies for us. I don't know your name yet, but thank you! read more

Got a burrito bowl. What in the world kind of Mexican place doesn't have beans? These guys. Out of cilantro, piled all the stuff in the middle, just all really not hard stuff they completely messed up. read more

Save your money and eat somewhere else. The service was poor, and all the grilled chicken was burnt on my burrito and my sons dinner as well. Needless to say I threw away their frequent members card. I was not impressed by the cleanliness of the tables either. read more

So this is only the second time I have eaten at a Qdoba and I was moved on my previous opinion. The queso tasted like nothing, the steak tasted like prime rib, the cook looked pissed off and knocked over all the soup cups into the hot water for the item he was replacing on the line. I wanted something with guacamole and cilantro. I will stick with Chipotle. read more

Qdoba is awesome! Every menu item is amazing and fresh. The prices are great and their rewards are great. You quickly accumulate free items after just a couple visits. Service is always great. Unlike chipotle you never pay extra for unlimited choice and amount of topping including Guac and queso. read more

Love Qdoba! The food is always consistent and that is important. My fav is the naked burrito with white rice, chicken, pico, corn, queso and sour cream. Delish! Wish the dining area was larger, but I typically get takeout. read more

The food is awesome. But the service was horrible. The young dark haired girl always has a bad attitude and is impatient every time I go in there. I've tried to go different times to avoid her. If they had friendly staff...I would give them 5 stars. read more

Very friendly staff and clean restaurant! Their order and pick-up option online is very useful if you are on a time crunch!!!

Food was very good. However, I tried ordering online with a bogo coupon which did not work. They told me they would refund my account for one meal, which they did not. I spoke to a manager a few days later who told me he saw the mistake, would fix it and call me back. He did not. I never received any kind of compensation. read more

I tried the new brisket on the nachos. It had a very strong smoky flavor which I didn't necessarily enjoy with the combination of toppings I chose. What turned me off the most was the grease that came with the meat and saturated the rest of the toppings. I will stick with the shredded beef, always a winner. read more

This place is great!! The people are always helpful, and the food is awesome. Awesome burritos and chips.

This review is specifically to this location. Food is usually good. But 4 out of the last 5 online orders, they had not begun making my food when I arrived AFTER the designated time. Not apologetic. Lazy too. Combined two chips & queso in one bag when I pointed out they did not make my second order. Running out of patience with that store. read more

food was good as always staff was friendly walked in they had the cook deep cleaning in the kitchen area food was good chicken looked like it had been out to long. too bad this qdoba wasnt closer to my house the 2 by my house arent this nice or attentive read more

I completely enjoy the food and flavors at Qdoba and appreciate the large variety on the menu. I love their rewards program and how fast you can earn those rewards! What frustrates me however, is that at approximately 5 out of 6 visits to this restaurant it feels like the servers are literally TRYING to put as little ingredients on my orders as possible. Tonight on a full quesadilla she put about 2/3 of a spoon full of chicken and took the time to spread each piece out to make it look like more and the same thing happened with the vegetables. The young man who put the cheese on did a nice job and I felt like it was a full serving. I aim tired of ASKING for them to put more on. And as for the "unlike" Chipotle comment. Until Qdoba raised their prices they charged for everything extra also. Now we pay for "extras" in their regular price, whether we get them or not, and it feels like I have to beg to get a full serving! And I am not asking for a large portion....just reasonable. Chipotle has never charged me for the fajita vegetables I get every time I go there. I am frustrated because I really like the food and the employees are friendly and gracious! But I am tired of feeling like they are focused on being skimpy! It's as if they think they might get into trouble if they put too much on! There are so many things to like about this restaurant but I am getting tired of this issue! read more
