    This Qdoba Mexican Eats is located in the Janaf Shopping Center in Norfolk, VA. They are located in a pretty busy area too, so there's lots of other shopping areas you can explore afterwards. My visit here was on September 13, 2022. It had been several years since I had been to a Qdoba. This is because several years ago, the one in Virginia Beach closed when the lease was up. This was always one of my favorite places to go for this type of food too. About a week ago, I had gotten a coupon for $5 off at Qdoba. I figured it was worth a shot coming out to Norfolk for this. When we came in, there wasn't anyone else in there at the time except for the staff. We got there around 11:15 am, so it was just likely a bit early. They were hopping more though by the time we would be done with lunch. You can see that they have lots of seating available. For soft drinks, they do Coke products, and there is a self serve Coke Freestyle machine in the main dining area. When we came up to the counter, we weren't sure what we wanted to get yet since it had been years since we had been to a Qdoba. The attendant at the counter asked if we wanted to sample the shrimp, and of course, we said yes. Both my mom and I liked the shrimp so much that we would both order Shrimp Bowls. I like that you have full control over what toppings and such you can put on it as well. I added cheese, Pico de Gallo, sour cream, mild Queso, various salsas, and of course, guacamole, which doesn't cost extra. After ordering and such, it was time to dig in. I really loved this bowl. It had everything I was looking for in it, and you could tell that the ingredients used were fresh. My mom had said something similar to me about her bowl too. They are better that some other rivals that are in Virginia Beach, such as Chipotle too. Hopefully sometime soon Qdoba does come back to the beach. It's already a beach that they aren't there now. ;) Overall, this was a very good first experience coming here. The food was really good and fresh. Service at the counter was on point. The place was extremely clean too, with no tables needing to be cleaned off. There is plenty of space to sit inside and eat here, but they also have a few tables outside if you wanted to eat out there too, depending on weather of course. If you happen to be in this area and have a craving for this type of food, you should definitely come in and give them a try.

    Had recently visited this place. Similar to chipotle ,only difference would be the Qdoba sauce/dip which was out of stock while I was there. Hope to taste it soon.......

    One lady just kept talking over the food the whole time while she was serving, guys with long hair had no hair nets, the drying fountain only had like three drinks to select from and it also looked like it had mold.

    Good Lord, some folks HAVE NO FLIPPING CLUE how to order at one of these assembly-line burrito joints. I watched a couple start at the beginning and tell the woman making the burritos "I'd like a burrito with chicken, salsa, lettuce, and cheese." All at once. Like the counter girl is going to remember that in thirty seconds and get it right? I mean, they try. They really do. Here's how it's done. You start with "I'd like a burrito" (or a bowl or a salad or tacos). They'll get that first step done. And then they will ask you what meat you'd like. You respond with "Chicken" or beef or whatever. And then as your meal is assembled as it makes its way down the counter, you ask for the toppings that are NEXT TO THE BURRITO AT THAT TIME. You don't ask for the whole thing with everything at the start - it's not hard, folks. Oh, and you get one shot. Don't ask them to unwrap the finished burrito at the end to go back and add guacamole. Jeez! So now that this lesson is taught, I'm going to sit down and enjoy my wonderful burrito - brown rice, chicken, hot salsa, corn salsa and shredded cheese. No... wait. This Qdoba has a Coke Freestyle machine, so here's lesson TWO. If you don't know what you want, step out of the way while someone who can make a decision gets their drink. Then you can go back and make your half-cherry Coke and half cherry Dr. Pepper, mmmmkay? The shop was clean and the tables had been wiped down recently. Plenty of parking.

    First visit! The 5 stars are primarily for the women at the counter and how their service won me over. They were smiling the entire time(unless they were laughing because I looked lost), sharp & were patient with my order! And...YES, I AM one of those folks who do NOT know how to order from an assembly line or operate the modern soda machines!! LOL These fast food joints are normally not my first choice but, was about to chew my arm off. I ordered the shredded pork salad w/ Taco shell. Very filling and delicious! One of the ladies even came by to see how I liked it! I think the price was a tad high $9.45. Now that I know the food tastes decent, I'll be looking for coupons and will be back! I did taste something extremely salty... Not sure what is was but, not a deal breaker. It wasn't the pork. Maybe the peppers?

    Drunken chicken taco. AWESOME! Just wish it wasn't so small!

    Clean, no line, good food! Nice big parking lot. I got the Drunken Chicken taco and it was great! Had a choice between flour or corn tortilla. I got corn. Soft and delicious! Ingredients tasted very fresh! Really not much to say because we just stopped here really quick since it was down the street from the auto dealership. I've always had great experiences with Qdoba!

    This QDOBA location has obviously been revamped within the last year or two since I was last here. While the interior does look to be improved, the food quality and preparation thoroughness was definitely lacking. I ordered a chicken burrito with rice, chicken, fajitas, corn, queso, cheese, and lettuce. In terms of specific ingredients, the rice was not cooked well. There were many hard price pieces still. Overall, my burrito was not folded well and falling apart. The temperature was not hot enough, especially for something with queso in it. Along with the new interior changes, a few years ago they changed up their loyalty program. They switched to a mobile application, of which my wife downloaded and we were going to use. Once I scanbed the application and was told how many points we had, I asked a few questions about loyalty program overall but the cashier did not know the answer to any of them. I plan to come here again to see if my experience changes, and will update my review accordingly.

    Food was subpar and left a lot to be desired. I think it is probably popular with the college crowd with their lack of taste

    It's just simple…read more Sometimes you just want a quick bite. Nothing fancy just something to tide you over. This place is it. Need a burger at 3am? How about a beef quesadilla at 1pm? Or chicken nuggets at 9? This place has you covered. The food is average, nothing to crave for, but it's filling and really aside from 7-11 who's going to give you a corn dog and onion rings at midnight? The staff is very friendly and you're greeted with a smile. And the food comes out quick. Overall three stars. There is a decent variety of items to pick from the menu. The prices are cheap and the food comes out hot.

    I've heard so much about Cook Out but never experienced it until tonight…read more I'm not a fast food person. I'm in a continuous calorie counting mode. I save my calories for special treats. So I wasn't sure how I would feel about this spot that has drawn such praise. Tonight I was gifted a barbecue sandwich with coleslaw on the side from this Janaf area location. It was the best barbecue sandwich I've ever had. The barbecue was perfectly prepared with a sauce that had a little bit of a kick, just enough hot to really add to the taste. The pulled pork couldn't have been better. It had absolutely no hint of fat. Normally I order barbecue without a bun because the bun overpowers the barbecue. Not so with Cook Out. The bun was small & flat and the barbecue itself was the main course of the sandwich. The coleslaw was perfect. It was prepared without all the sauce that some restaurants apply in an over abundance. After my first taste of Cook Out I will now "brake for a stop" to have that yummy sandwich again. Hurray for a fast food restaurant that's tasty and prepared well.
