Not doing half and half meat anymore, and telling your customers with an unapologetic frown, while skimping on the portions on your $12 burritos, is a great way to send people back to the competition. The upside is you don't have to wait in line much like you used to have to back in the day! (Also miss the limes) read more

The manager wouldn't let me fill my water bottle with water on a warm day without charging me for a drink. Idk does anyone actually prefer qdoba over chipotle? At least now I have no reason to come back here as the only thing that'd bring me in before today is to get water when I'm thirsty. read more

So yummy!!! Workers were kind, funny, and inviting. I went on wednesday around 7pm and the service was amazing and so was the food. Will be coming back for sure!! read more

Most of you reading this have probably been to a Qdoba or a similar style restaurant like Chipotle or Pancheros. I'd like to specifically say that this is one of the best Qdoba's -- and Mexican/burrito-style places -- I've ever been to. The service is always professional, kind, and efficient. The owners/managers are always present and ready to help with a smile. I really enjoy coming to this Dinkytown location. Plus, Qdoba has what others do not: free anything on your burrito or burrito bowl! Unlike Chipotle, it doesn't cost extra to add queso or guac to your entree. Everything's included and everything is delicious! Qdoba was in the queso game long before Chipotle was, so obviously they're doing it better. Their spicy queso is delicious! Life hack: if you get a burrito bowl and ask for a tortilla on the side, you can basically make your own burrito. My friend always tears the tortilla into 1/4s and then makes mini-burritos! I swear you get more if you do a bowl and ask for a tortilla on the side--more fits into the bowl than fits into the burrito. We use them a bunch for catering, too! They do an awesome job with catering. It's easy and everyone loves it because you just make your own burrito or bowl or nachos. They give you SO MANY CHIPS you'll have leftovers for weeks. Plus, if you bring back the chafing dishes to a Qdoba, they give you free entree coupons! Highly recommend for any catering need. read more

What happened to the wonderful customer service you had at the West St. Paul location? I was there today at lunchtime and the 2 employees that were working hardly acknowledged that I was there. No hello, no how can I help you. Very poor customer service. In the past your employees were very nice and genuinely cared. On the plus side, food was excellent. read more

Thank you for the pleasant and fast service. Most importantly thank you for bracing the cold weather here and making it in. Food was great and well prepared and made my quick stop easy and filling! read more

Don't let the low rating scare you away! (Mostly from a bunch of one star reviews from one group of people who ordered 32 burritos for the SAME day on the Fourth of July 7 years ago - seriously!? In my opinion this place deserves some good buzz!) I come here far too often for lunch, because the food is fresh, there's thousands of options, and the staff is amazingly friendly - and fast! Love the woman who is always on cash register, she's the best. I recommend the mini burrito bowl for the best value, it's the perfect amount of food for lunch and with a side of chips is even more filling! read more

QDOBA Mexican Eats - Mini burrito bowl is a great value! - Fast Food Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

definitely needed something different from chipotle, this place has so much options to choose from and they're all delicious. i just wish it had a more kick to it, but other than that it's pretty good read more

Place is pretty solid. Much better than Chipotle. Better Queso and Guac, and they're included with the bowl. If you're a burrito person, this review isn't for you. Bowls are the only way to go. Place fucks. Good spot read more

Worse service. The Manager, Tyler never even bother to apologize for a wrong order snd even suspected that I ordered incorrectly . Hire another Manager before you lose other customers read more

Terrible service No line took 10 min to be acknowledged No refills on over priced fountain drinks Avoid at all cost read more

First off-I've always loved Qdoba. I visited their Corvallis, Oregon location a ton when I was in graduate school. They have (in my opinion) more options than Chipotle does, and they offer more coupons and specials. I visited this location right at 12pm on a weekday; originally thinking I was going to be able to order online and go pick up a large order (for 10 people). When my meeting went late, I quickly scrapped that plans and hoped the employees wouldn't hate me for bringing in a list of 10 different entrees (especially during the potential lunch rush). I walked in, informed the woman working I had about 10 entrees to order, and her and the manager quickly assembled a way for us to get all of our entrees ordered quickly while helping other customers out. I was really impressed! They were able to handle all of the orders in a timely fashion and get all of our burrito bowls, tacos, quesadillas, and burritos the way we wanted them. They didn't short us on any amount of ingredients, and were happy to help us at a busy time. 5 stars just for the service; when they could have easily just been really upset at us. They were also happy to write names on all of the burritos for us to ensure people got the correct items they wanted. They gave us certain items on the side, and ensured all of the items were run up correctly. Everyone was happy with their food when I brought them back! Also if you're interested, they do have an app to get rewards. Every time you go to the restaurant you can use your phone to scan your rewards, and after going a handful of times you are able to get some free items. They don't have any free parking because it is in Dinkytown, but you can use street parking if you need to parkk. read more

QDOBA Mexican Eats - Fast Food Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Fast, clean efficient because it's a fast food outlet. The food here is better than other imitation Mexican places and it's a good fit in Dinkytown for diners in need of a quick stop. The employees are smiling and happy so to speak. The queso was far better than I expected, but then I set expectations low for fast food. I believe their claim the chips are hand cut and made fresh. Even the coffee had a roasted flavor and was made fresh. read more

Qdoba vs. Chipotle? Why do you have to choose? I will say that I think Chipotle has better ingredients, but the queso sauce is way too bomb to even care. Get the nachos, with the chips on the side, and get ready for cheesy goodness. Their breakfast burritos are really good, but the secret is that they're available late at night as well (you just have to ask- they take down the menu) and probably one of the best drunk munchies options in Dinky. Their staff is always super friendly and they also do some great promotions. Follow them on Facebook for Trivia Tuesdays, which means me Googling the answer as fast as possible in order to get a free entree. You can also join their Loyalty club, which means you gain 100 points for every meal you buy- 1000 points is a free burrito! But really, it's all about that queso cheese sauce. I'd take a bath in that stuff. read more

Reasons why Qdoba is Nummy Nom-Nom Rawr: 1: Their Cheese Queso Sauce - If I was fat and rich I would have A Qdoba Queso Sauce fountain operating 24 HRS. M- F, in my kitchen. I am the person that covers anything and everything in their Queso Sauce - kind of like the kid that puts ketchup on everything they eat. 2: They serve breakfast starting at 7AM - Take that McDonald's! 3: They are open until 3AM Thursday-Saturday. In other words, don't be surprised if you wake up with Queso Sauce all over your face and splattered in your purse after a crazy night in Dinkytown. 4: The staff is always beyond friendly, chill and efficient. Qdoba lives up to a "Pine-Sol" so fresh and so clean standard. 5: QUESO SAUCE! I crave this ooey gooey cheesy goodness called Queso Sauce! I'm the person that would lick the contents of the container until the very last drop; however I am afraid that a picture of this would end up on some website similar to peopleofwalmart.com. read more

Let me tell ya... Good Mexican food is hard to come by in this day and age. Thank god Qdoba's got me covered -- in queso that is! The queso is creamy and the chips aren't soggy -- me likey. Better yet, they've got one of those coke machines that lets you add some creativity to your drink. As soon as I walked in the door, I slipped and fell right on my ass but hey, you can't win them all. read more

QDOBA Mexican Eats - My meal was in there!! #burrito - Fast Food Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I have such a weakness for Qdoba and Chipotle. I know it's not authentic, but I still like it. I think what I like best is that I can get things at both of these places without the beans. Their pico de gallo is fresh and the hot salsa actually has a bit of a kick to it. The rice is fabulous. Thanks, Qdoba, for the 1,000 calories I consumed at lunch today. read more

The food was not good because my burrito was not warmed and made wrong, even on top of that the new girl touched the spoon with her bare hand before she put it into the queso sauce and then proceeded to ph tit on my food. "Qdoba in North Dakota " read more

Stay away! This place canceled on me! I placed an order for 32 burritos today, gave my credit card number, phone number, and email address. They told me that they would be able to accommodate my large order. I received a phone message 20 minutes later telling me that they didn't have the staff to fulfill the order and THEY were canceling the order on ME, the customer. I understand that it was a holiday, but if you can't take the order, maybe you shouldn't accept it in the first place. Don't give me some song and dance about there being a 24 advanced notice policy AFTER you've already accepted it. I was trying to feed a large group of people and this place made that job impossible. 32 people were inconvenienced tonight by the lack of professionalism and incompetence of this "business". Stay away! read more

I always walked by Qdoba and looked inside and just though to myself, "oh just a chipotle want-to-be". One fateful day where I found myself super hungry and in the neighborhood, I decided to try out Qdoba. Because I usually go to Chipotle, where they charge you an arm and a leg for guac and queso, when the nice worker asked me if I wanted queso or guac I decided to splurge and get just queso. When I looked at my final bill I saw that the queso was FREE! I later realized that guac and queso are free at Qdoba, *que heavenly sounds*. I had to go back the next week and take advantage of the free guac and queso, and again it did not disappoint. It seems like they have more options on the menu than Chipotle and it tastes really good. I wish it was a little less expensive but if you want to try a great fast food mexican food place, with FREE quac and queso, hit up Qdoba! read more

I have given other Qdoba restaurants repeat business, but this was the first (and last) time I have been to this location. Granted, I have not been to one in a couple of years, so perhaps there have been sweeping changes for the worse throughout the entire franchise, but this location seems to have really nailed the worst way of doing business. First and foremost, the food: it was on-par with a store-brand microwaved burrito. The meat in all dishes was nasty, flavorless, and dried out. The rice was dried out as well. The beans smelled HORRIBLE. And to prove they could just as readily screw up the small stuff, no sour cream on the 3-cheese nachos as requested. If not just as important was the service. We placed the order online at 2:15 for a 2:45 pickup (we had the dog with, so didn't want a long wait), not exactly a "peak period." Went in to get the order at 2:43, and the guy at the counter collected her payment and told her that it was not yet ready; that it in fact had not even been started. He then proceeded to walk back to the kitchen while my wife was still talking to him. No apologies about the order, no "excuse me a moment," no prediction as to when the order would be ready. My wife went to the car to wait with the dog. She went back in at about 2:50, and the order was bagged and ready on the counter. The manager came over to her, pointing at the receipt, and said, "The food was on time. See - it says here on the receipt that it was ready at 2:43." My wife informed him that the clerk told her that it wasn't ready at that time, to which he replied, "No, see right here? Your food was on time." Again, no apologies, no "sorry about the delay," the manager clearly just wanted to make a point about when the receipt said the food was ready (and refused to listen to questions as to why she was told it wasn't ready). read more

Okay. Qdoba. Now, don't get me wrong. This isn't something that should be enjoyed on a regular basis. It's the opposite of healthy food, and really shouldn't be considered Mexican. But. The queso burrito? It is a big goopy pile of AWESOME. I kid you not. It's like if you took the carb-urrito that is Chipotle and put QUESO SAUCE ON IT. They also steam the tortilla instead of grilling it, for that extra goopy appeal. Seriously, that thing is...glorious. Salsa, cheese, rice, and meat all blending together inside a squishy tortilla. Okay. So it's not high quality food. It's not authentic. It's not local. It will probably have a contributing factor to my future health ailments. But...god, once In a while, it just really hits the spot. read more

I ordered a chicken burrito bowl and my husband ordered a chicken burrito. The rice for both of ours was dry and stale tasting, I had white, he had brown. The rest of the ingredients also seemed less than fresh. We were there around 3 in the afternoon and it wasn't busy at all, so maybe they were just serving leftover stuff from lunch, it really was not fresh. The pop machine they have can be used by only ONE person at a time. Plus you have to push at least 3 buttons just to get your drink to start pouring. The choices on the machine are nice, but I'd hate to have to deal with the slowness during a lunch rush. Overall, I probably would avoid this place, because they don't seem to care about freshness. Like when we go to Chipotle at any time, the food is fresh, even at off-peak times. read more

One of my staple lunch or breakfast places. For lunch I usually like to get their burritos and bowls but on cold days the gumbo really hits the spot. I've never had a bad experience with the food or service here. For breakfast their chorizo breakfast burrito never missed the mark! So good and super filling. Regardless of what you order make sure to add their queso, it seriously makes everything extra tasty. As for the question, is it better than Chipotle?: They both are equally good in their own style. I won't try to compare them. read more

Didnt like the service. No excitement and the ambience was quite dull. Worst part they are jjust not like chipotle!! Felt bad when charged extra for rice taken... read more

Delicious offerings, friendly people, late hours. Shit parking..I usually just turn my hazards on and run in quick...lol. KICKASS soda machine-one of those touch screen ones where you can get any flavor of anything. Eat here. Go. read more

This location of Qdoba's is the same as any other that I have been to. It is an entry into the fast food world featuring Mexican food. All of the standards that you would expect are here, tacos, burritos and the like. What sets this place apart from the Taco Bell's of the world is that it is set up much like a Subway restaurant insofar as they have a lot of fresh ingredients for you to pick from. You tell them what you want in your dish and they build it in front of you. The drink fountain is separate from the ordering station, so your refills are free. The servers were friendly and were quick to make suggestions when I asked. I would definitely go back here. read more

I got food poisoning from this place! Super sick! I was fine till I had the burrito bowl, then symptoms kicked in. Won't be back.

Usually good, but got served a quesadilla without cheese on it today. Get the same order every time and never had to specify I wanted cheese on my quesadilla, made for a very disappointing meal. read more

I used this Qdoba for catering delivery for the first time last week and it was wonderful. The driver set up everything and the hot food was in disposable chafing dishes. The Naked Burrito Bar was a big hit, lots of good steak and chicken and all the sides needed to create a burrito bowl. The enormous bag of chips was great too. read more

This is my third and final qdoba meal in a third state. It was not satisfying. I had the veggie salad bowl. Perhaps the meat meals are good but I'm vegetarian. I gave it two stars for the nice service staff. read more

Solid breakfast burritos at a great price $4. Get the chorizo burrito with all of the fixings. The staff here are friendly and patient when you don't know what you want. The queso is tasty and the guac is really fresh. I'd choose Qdoba over Chipotle any day. As a side note, for some reason, their burrito bowl containers are impossible to open unless you are ready to spill all over yourself. read more

Burrito bowls are awesome! I like the pork. They definitely have gotten better over the years. Great location in dinkytown too, but no parking lot. read more

They say good workers are hard to come by nowadays, and in my experience of going to various places I truly believe that. These employees however were all very happy and helpful; a pleasant surprise. Wish I knew the names, three ladies working a morning shift on Monday. Anyway, ordered a pulled pork burrito, like employee was happy to explain to me different types of sauces and salsas available, cashier showed me how I could sign up for the rewards and get my free drink! Enjoyed my time there, food was made nicely, will most likely return. read more

I went into the Dinkytown location to order a burrito and the tall gentlemen who stepped up to helped me seemed like he could think of a million other things he'd rather do than help a customer. After I told him I would like a steak burrito he started doing "tricks" with the burrito bowl. He then proceeded to start making the burrito and then said "I forgot to tell you we don't have steak" and then another worker told him they had steak ready he just had not grabbed it yet. The gentlemen helping me then yelled in the back to an employee and turned around and said "This n**** is eating chicken" and continued to use profanity not just in front of me but also in front of other customers in line. Speak however you want outside of the workplace but for an employee to speak this way in front of paying customers leads me to believe that the Dinkytown location and Qdoba as a whole do not care about respecting the customer and using respectful language. I can only assume that the manager/owner of this location has absolutely awful leadership or they are blind to the conduct that takes place in this location. I would never return to this location and would much rather go to a restaurant where I feel my business is appreciated instead of feeling like the workers do not care about the customer and respect at all. I am absolutely shocked by the conduct that this Qdoba allows. read more

Are these people nuts. You can't run a business by taking orders and then cancelling them. Suggest you stay away.

I ordered through a delivery service and Qdoba forgot the chips for my nachos, which I find ridiculous. Yes, the delivery guy should've checked if everything was in the bag, but it's the restaurant's job to make sure the order is correct in the first place. Not only that, it was the sloppiest bowl I've ever seen (sour cream on one side, salsa on another, too much meat, etc). I will never order anything through this location again. read more

I'll admit, Qdoba doesn't hold a flame to chipotle's mass appeal and tastiness; but this particular qdoba makes it up with the friendly staff, breakfast options and the fact that they're constantly involved with student organizations on campus. Breakfast is served until noon on weekends. Super clutch for when you're hungover and need something to help fill you up. read more

I dont see how a professional restaurant could possibly accept an order and then in turn cancel nearly half an hour later. Do they not understand that the customer has a busy life too? We were set in the knowledge that we were going to be fed by this restaurant, and continued with our busy night. However we were left scrambling at the last minute when they told us they couldnt folow through with our order. professionalism? read more

Great customer service tonight. Great experience. Love the guacamole and chips are always consistent - chipotles chips are alway randomly too salty and/or chewy. read more
