Shoutout to the AMAZING server working today!! He was absolutely BUSY but still managed to be so friendly, attentive, and fabulous. The service was seriously unmatched, and he deserves to be recognized for working so hard while still making everyone feel taken care of. QDOBA, give this man a raise!!! read more

The food is always spot on!!! Delicious Bring a QDOBA to southeast Alabama! Cuz..................WE LOVE QDOBA! read more

The staff was friendly, but I was really disappointed with the food preparation. While waiting in line, I saw them boiling frozen meat in plastic bags--something that raises serious health and quality concerns. No wonder the chicken had a rubbery texture and strange taste. I'm also concerned about potential chemical leaching from the plastic, like BPA. And if that's what they're doing out in the open, who knows what other questionable practices are happening behind the scenes? Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend this place based on that experience read more

After being a lifelong Panchero's fan, I have to say that QDOBA beats it by a long shot. I got a bowl with queso, guac, and chips on the side and paid just under $11. I'm pretty sure I left with two meals worth of food. Not to mention, they give you actual scoops of chicken, rather than one tiny spoonful. The flavor of the food was 10/10, perfect spice level and packed with flavor. Very fresh food. The staff was so welcoming and patient! read more

Purchased a gift card on their website and never received it. I called the number they had listed and the person hung up on me. Called back and the guy said they can't help with that and transferred me to a recording that says to email...making the number listed pointless. I emailed and received awhat appears to be an automated response that had nothing to do with the problem. Still no resolution at this time. Save yourself the money and hassle read more

I go to this QDOBA all the time and usually love the food and the service. But today I had a terrible experience at this Qdoba location. My friend was accused of stealing, and the manager or possibly the owner in the red shirt made a huge scene in front of everyone. It was a complete misunderstanding--the manager had put a bowl in the bag and without my friend realizing it, my friend put what he thought was his own bowl into the bag. He didn't even know about the extra bowl until the manager took it out and started accusing him. We tried clarifying explaining we didn't know but the employee in the red shirt insisted he was stealing and continued his sass/attitude. Instead of handling the situation with respect and understanding, the manager chose to badmouth my friend and create an unnecessary scene. It was completely uncalled for. That staff member should learn to treat their customers with more respect, especially in situations that are clearly just misunderstandings. read more

Best customer service! Happy place! Owner said "great job team" after a rush went through. Food was good too! read more

The taste of the food is off. No portion control. We stopped in the bathroom to wash our hands before eating and the bathroom was a mess and there was no soap. I told the manager who just shrugged and said they open three days ago and don't have soap. Best to wait and let this restaurant work their kinks out. read more

In a world where casual/fast food /build-your-meal eateries are vying for your attention, the fresher the better. And few do fresh-Mex better than Qdoba. There are plenty of non-burrito (and burrito) options to order as-is from the menu, or customize to taste, fresh house made tortillas and chips, freshly prepared pico, and more. If you're uncertain about an ingredient, a for a sample to taste - Qdoba wants you to enjoy your meal. I typically order their tortilla soup (with or without meat) with a little mixing and matching of hot sauce, but this trip I had the opportunity to enjoy their Mango Chicken Salad. Delicious, especially the mango and chutney topping, which was prepared fresh several times that day. Mexican CocaCola, Fanta, Jarrito in bottles, or a well provisioned mix-your-own Coke product fountain drink dispenser provide ample beverage options. This location has always provided good service, and a clean dining area, which is saying something for this type of eatery. This location also has some much appreciated outdoor seating. Qdoba has a solid rewards program, so if you are (or become) a fan, be certain to get on board. read more

Portions were bad, paid for double chicken got a bad two scoop basically equaled one. They also refused to give my lil sister a kids bowl saying she was too old even though she was 13. terrible service do better. read more

Bathroom and restaurant were very clean. Our food was great and the employees were friendly.

Bowl from Qdoba. With cilantro rice, steak, fajita peppers, quest, and corn salsa. I spent $10.64 for a bowl that is filled halfway.. Never coming here ever again. My friends bowl wasn't very filled also. read more

QDOBA Mexican Eats - Bowl from Qdoba. With cilantro rice, steak, fajita peppers, quest, and corn salsa. - Mexican Near Me - Des Moines, Iowa

For being a chain restaurant the serve rather fresh food. We stopped in for lunch and was served quickly. Staff was friendly and the place was super clean. I normally place my orders online for pick up so I never see the makings in action. I elected the burrito bowl. You start by selecting what type of rice you want (recommend the cilantro white rice), then onto the beans (pinto, black or my favorite both), next up meat - went with the brisket, Queso selection (you can even get extra without an additional cost), you can then add peppers, onions, cheese and sour cream. read more

QDOBA Mexican Eats - Brisket burrito bowl - Mexican Near Me - Des Moines, Iowa

Dear manager, please see that trash receptacles are placed outside your store and especially in the outdoor dinning area. Your store is responsible for real blight in the city&neighborhood because of the substantial amount of litter blowing around from your store. Please take responsibility and be a respectful part of our community. read more

Fresh ingredients and lots of options on meat (or not), toppings, burrito/bowl/quesadilla/etc., condiments, etc. Service was quick and efficient. Price is on the upper end of what I value it at, but for all the choices and fresh ingredients it's not unreasonable. Quite a bit better than the other fast food 'chains'. read more

QDOBA Mexican Eats - Chicken 'burrito' bowl with fixins... - Mexican Near Me - Des Moines, Iowa

Got a steak bowl from here added one xtra scoop of chicken and the price was $15. For one bowl usually an xtra soup for a bowl would come out to $10 anywhere else pretty pricey and not to good. read more

Ordered through doordash. The restaurant forgot to put chicken in my Adobo Chicken rice bowl. When I called the manager was really rude, basically said if I don't come in & get the chicken for my rice bowl I was basically shit out of luck & I would need to go through doordash for a refund. Definitely won't be coming back! Won't spend my money where people are rude, especially when it was their mistake! read more

First of all, Qdoba is better than Chipotle. There, I said it. They have free guac and queso!!! Who doesn't love free guac and queso with any dish? That being said, this location is actually pretty cool. The people working there are consistently friendly and quick, and you get a lot of food for your buck. Why did I dock a star if I like this place so much? A couple reasons... This particular location is right off of ingersoll and its a pain to get in and out of the parking lot because the street is so busy and the parking lot is laid out strangely. Second, they took my beloved barbacoa off the menu and replaced it with brisket!! Brisket in Mexican food?!? To be honest, it's still pretty good, but not next level good like the barbacoa I grew to love and adore. If you're a fan of fast tex mex and either like brisket or basically any other standard meat, you are in good company here. read more

We ordered an online pickup for dinner and my boyfriend went to go pick it up. They gave us two free drinks to make up for our order being a few minutes late. I thought this was super nice of them & unexpected but appreciated. We've also ate here before. The employees were nice & store was very clean! I like this place better than Chipotle since it has more options too. read more

Awesome location. The establishment is always clean, the service is elite, and the food is bomb.

So I was pretty sure I found plastic in my burrito. There were these solid white chunks that were super hard and I couldn't chew them. I then realized they may be uncooked rice. Then when I came across uncooked corn as well, I figured that was what was going on. But imagine chewing on hard, uncooked corn or rice. So gross, hurt teeth and made me lose my appetite. Couldn't even finish my burrito. Took maybe 3 bites and I feel sick. read more

Great tasting food and good portions for the Price$. We are staying at a hotel from another state and had Grub Hub. Perfect timing on the delivery quoted time! :) read more

Came in while it was busy. Staff was quick and efficient while calling for ingredients from the kitchen. I was amazed at how quick the staff fulfilled everyone's order. Food was delicious. The tables were full and the place was kind of dirty but after getting everyone through the line, the staff began cleaning. By the time I finished my meal, all the empty tables were clean. Great staff. read more

I am glad they opened this place close to downtown. Although I am a Chipotle guy, I usually can't make it so far out of town to enjoy Chipotle, this is the next best thing close to downtown. There is The Fighting Burrito, but this location is a bit closer to other places and parking is easier with this parking lot. They have great Queso, not as good Guac compared to Chipotle obviously. Their staff members are always nice. Their interior design is very fresh and modern. Would continue to eat here, never had any issues here. read more

As far as chains go, I dig Qdoba and Chipotle! Lots of vegan options. The lines move fast, the food is always good and hot and the employees at both chains are always really nice. This location is no different than any others I have been to around the country! Hot, Fast food, that will fill you up in no time! I dig the burrito bowls or the actual Veggie Burrito, I dig that they put guac on the veggie burrito for free and the staff here does not skimp on beans, rice, or salsa's! Little tip when they ask what kinda of beans you want, SAY BOTH they will hook you up, to the point of your burrito being so big that it falls apart and you have to eat it with a fork! I'm totally cool with that! read more

I am so glad that Qdoba opened up on Ingersoll! The location is absolutely perfect! It's on the way to work for me, and it's not too far away from work, should I get a craving. Chipotle, though equally good, is too far away for a lunch break. I also prefer this location over the one on University Ave. This Qdoba is open until 10 p.m. every night. Love the pulled pork burrito with queso. Add that with a Barq's Root Beer and it's pure heaven. If I'm with someone, I'll get the chips and queso and/or guac. I also like how they have the Coca-Cola Freestyle machine (for some odd reason, when they first opened, they only had fountain drinks, but I guess they were waiting at the time for the FreeStyle.) Also, this location is in the same building as T-Mobile, Menchie's Frozen Yogurt and Noodles & Company, so Qdoba isn't the only one that has picked a great location! There's free parking, too! Now we just need a Five Guys Burgers and Fries nearby... Thanks again, Qdoba for opening a Central Des Moines location! read more

All ingredients were great! Ordered the taco bowl with brisket, brown rice, onions, cilantro, sour cream, fajitas, and guacamole! Tasty, but guacamole was a tad too lime-y for me. Overall clean space and nice staff! read more

This place is awesome! It is new and clean. It is a nice place to study and eat some Queso. The staff is nice. Sometimes it is busy around lunch, but it is worth the wait. They have a coke freestyle machine and it is next to a fro-yo place. Great place for a date or group! read more

So gross. Employees working to build the burritos had no masks on. What is wrong with this place? Turned around and walked out. Someone needs to manage this place as I would have thought it was a corporate standard to wear a mask while working in a customer facing food prep business. read more

this place is horribly run. the food is horribly put together and served and half the staff literally doesn't speak English so ordering is a mess. shut this place down read more

The staff and manager working last night were so friendly! I was very impressed with their customer service. Food was hot and delicious. The store was clean. Everyone that entered was greeted and the manager made sure to walk around asking how the food was for guests. Kudos! read more

Employee was not wearing a mask when I walked in and did not put one on when requested. The food is normally very good here, but unfortunately I did not have a chance to try it this time. read more

I ordered from this location through GrubHub for delivery. We love their food, however I ordered a Chicken Queso burrito bowl, and there was NO chicken on it. How careless! GrubHub was nice enough to refund me the price of a bowl, but not the $8 for deliver plus tip for a new one. Will think twice next time I order from this location. read more

I am so impressed with the service EVERY time I go to QDoba. I try not to review chain restaurants, but this place deserves it! All the employees great me with a smile. I have only purchased their "burrito bowl", and they have been generous with their servings/portions. They don't charge extra for guac! The prices are unbeatable for the portions they give at this location. My burrito bowl is always $8.xx (I can't remember the cents off the top of my head). The restaurant is ALWAYS clean and the atmosphere is rather quiet and relaxed. They have a Coca-Cola Freestyle machine (the amazing soda fountain that allows you have about any delicious soda + fruit/vanilla syrup combo!). I come here about once/twice a month... absolutely worth it! read more

I work close by and at one point was coming here twice a week (eekk). I love this place. The food is amazing, the staff is very courteous and nice, and extra toppings are not extra. If you ever have an issue, they have no problem fixing it. read more

First timer here. I was incredibly impressed with the superb customer service at the Ingersoll location! I informed workers it was my first time ordering and we went swiftly through the line. My server was very clear on what I could get and what was or wasn't an additional charge. The cashier at the end was very helpful and polite. I was surprised to be in and out at split time! I definitely will come back again. Food is delicious, but it's the customer service that will bring me back to this location for all my burrito bowl needs! read more

QDOBA Mexican Eats - Mexican Near Me - Des Moines, Iowa

Staff is courteous. Facility is clean with self-serve soda machine with lots of varieties (I.e. you can even get sparkling water). Got the new special: fire-roasted shrimp tacos. I grade the tacos itself 4/5. Sufficient shrimp but the taste would be better if it was more limey. Yes, i know you can add lime on the side yourself but to me it just lacked flavor. Maybe some chili flakes would have been nice. It had guac and some pineapple and veggie stuff. You can opt to add whatever else you want at no extra charge. I had them add pico de gallo which added some flavor to the tacos. Will definitely return! read more

The manager here is amazing! All of the staff are friendly and don't judge you for coming there 5 days in a row honestly 11/10 the kids burrito bowl changed my life for the better. read more

The past few times I've been here, the employees have been moving extremely slow! Not sure what's going on, but it takes forever to get your burrito made! Still love the product though! read more
