Man, it's been a long time since I lived near a QDoba, but I'm happy this one opened in the neighborhood. This location just opened on York, slightly north of the worst Chipotle in America.
I'm normally a Chipotle guy. I'm a Chipotle shareholder since way back. But since I moved to Elmhurst, I've been let down time and time again by that City Center location. So I was jazzed to see QDoba was moving in.
I grabbed a chicken burrito from QDoba and thought it was pretty awesome. The tangy rice and the free queso helped the flavors jump. It was an enormous, packed bundle of Mexican deliciousness.
I have to give this location mega-props for being open until 11:00! Elmhurst is sorely lacking in late-night eats, so I have a feeling QDoba is going to save me when I'm too busy to grab another local option.
Other good burrito options nearby include Currito (272 N York, open until 9:00) and El Famous Burrito (904 N York, open until 10:00). The worst Chipotle in America (139 N York) is open until 10:00, but the employees usually lock the doors around 9:45, even if you've placed an order in the app.
It's early days for this QDoba, but if they can keep the extra hours and maintain the food quality, there's a new burrito king on the corner of North & York. read more
