First, I want to say that the people that were working at the time of my visit were better than great with customer service. I was definitely impressed by the young woman working. The gentlemen were dope, as well. I was helped with choosing things and given so much patience; I never ordered there. I was very happy with the taste and quality of the food. I would go back just because of the customer service that I received. The only sort of negative was the restaurant but definitely not terrible. Hence, the 4 stars versus 5. read more

The people that works there are the worse , rolling their eyes, giving attitude. If you don't like your job just go somewhere else . People pay for their food and you are there to serve them read more

Definitely my least fav qdoba in the area. The people are always super stingy like these are the last of their ingredients. The one on city ave is much better, they give u a good amount of food & the people in there are nicer. read more

I don't know if this location have cheaper ingredients.. the chicken taste like a fake chicken nugget meat. The peppers taste like they off a street vender truck.. sour cream taste old and plain. The wrap was 11.83 cents not worth it at all.. after a few bites I trash the wrap. Wish I known I would have took the drive to cheltenham location because atleast I wouldhave enjoyed the samwich and would have save 1.50$ on top of that.. I will never go to 40st location ever again read more

I ordered through yelp. My food was dropped off with no notification. It was sitting outside for a half an hour. The bag was half way open. The top of my bowl was open. I asked for chicken and there is no chicken in this bowl. I asked for no red onions and they put red onions in it. This bowl is so bland. My tortilla was cold and soggy. Wouldn't recommend delivery read more

Terrible service. One lady was "too distracted" (she said as she walked away, no apology) to take my order properly. I repeated myself to the next lady, who was too thrown off by the other lady's antics to listen well when I repeated myself. So I got bad service, tacos not the way I requested, & paid too much for them. Why go back? read more

there food is great and service is excellent nice and clean customer service is wonderful and I would also go there before any other place

I try not to review any chain or franchises due to its real lack of need to - but this place had managed to make me say 1 good thing and 1 bad thing about it. Good news first! Food is good and definitely beats Chipotle on 40th and Walnut in terms of price, value, and taste. Everything you really need. But this is a chain, this should be expected. Bad news :( The manager was extremely rude to me and rolled his eyes when I asked him questions about the items/ingredients. Super unfortunate that the next time I came around, the employee also was extremely rude and had gotten my order wrong seemingly on purpose. All in all, I come here out of necessity - that chipotle on 40th/39th + walnut is as atrocious as it can get, but the staff here sucks. I get that college students can be stupid and mean, but you don't have to reciprocate that behavior back at the general population who are just trying their best to just eat a damn bowl. read more

Updated space on 40th street! The seating area is comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. Had a BOGO coupon to use and figured it was a good day for an inexpensive lunch date. The line was empty so took a minute to choose, but we got two burritos, one brisket and and pulled pork. Different toppings on both so we could see what was the tastiest. The worker behind the counter was quick and generous with the portions, which I appreciated. Compared to other point and eat restaurants, I think Qdoba is the most cheaply versatile to eat at, because you can stack your burrito or bowl for a flat price. Brisket was tasty, pulled pork was tastier, and the toppings were all fresh, but needed some salt and extra sauce for flavor. The chips and salsa were alright as a side, maybe a little stale. I'd go for lunch here again, for quickness and how filling it is for the price. read more

QDOBA Mexican Eats - This is all I received in my order!!! It was supposed to be a impossible taco bowl - Mexican Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

My friend instigated and I never have been to one so I gave it a try. This is a Chipotle type of place and not that I'm not into chipotle or the like I'm a Mexican foodie snob so I like the authentic stuff. This was ok. Your Americanized version of Tex mex food that you can select toppings and such. I ordered the steak quesadilla and it was ok. Nothing for me to go running back here, sorry! My biggest peeve was no flatware! Why? If it's a takeout order it should have some utensils. The place was clean staff nice but I'd rather go to a mom and pop taqueria and get the authentic stuff. read more

I was at this qdoba earlier today (Friday 10/19/18) during the after lunch crowd and I was very pleased with one of my favs "the chicken quesadilla ". The woman with the braids that prepared my quesadilla made my quesadilla look the same way it tasted (incredible) by taking her time dashing on the ingredients...one of my peeves at some qdoba's is that they will throw on the ingredients in a rush... My quesadilla tasted just how I anticipated, and I appreciated the petite diced peppers and onions( some qdoba's have the peppers and onions that are cut long-ways and I totally dislike that) so, thanks again for the petite diced Peppers and onions and for having a clean bathroom and ample clean tables to eat from. :) read more

So many workers but not everyone is doing their job. I like to make my own tacos at home just get taco shells from out. I usually go to Taco Bell and pay .30-.50 a shell. For 6 hard shells and 3 soft taco breads they wanted $12. I was shocked. I was like that is very high. The whole bowl with meats and veggies that they need to cook and cut is cheaper. I ended up leaving and they didn't even care. read more

Steven is a great employee!! Super nice and understanding thank you for your help!! Never eating chipotle again!

The food was amazing and the restaurant was very clean. The workers were also very kind to me when it came to explaining what they had.

I gave up trying to order. They seem to block the phone lines, won't take orders at the door Covid policy or lazy employees? What's the difference? It's NOT WORKING! and the online ordering app does not seem to work. These people only seem to accept orders from Uber and Grubhub. I guess the emplees/half-assed managers have not figured out how to block those yet. I guess the owner loves paying the big fees to third parties instead of getting 100% direct from the customer. Complaint to qdoba via email generated an automated apology which sounded like it was written by a stoned teenager. "Bummer" w a promise that things had changed. LIE! My sister had a similar story this week. Same as my experience a MONTH ago. The just don't seem to care. Last restaurant I gave a bad review ro was Bobby's Burgers nearby. Then they closed. I am hoping Q will follow suit and be replaced by a customer and profit oriented business. Chipotle is a block away and their online ordering is easy and the pickup was pleasant. No brainer. Deleted my Q app. The customer rewards points never seemed to work out for me anyway. Free chips. Who wants that? Not me. I used to ho for tacos etc. Chipotle is better. Customer service at 40th st in PHILLY and at Q corporate SUCKS read more

i love eating here, the service is always fast and the food is delicious, you should eat here

service and food was amazing!! great experience here will definitely be back soon!! employees were very nice and efficient :)

Qdoba historically has not stacked up compared to other quick, Mexican style food joints, however, once Qdoba adopted the impossible meat, it is head and shoulders above the competition. I absolutely love the lengths Qdoba went to cater to meat alternatives. Also, guacamole and queso at no extra cost to your entree is excellent! I highly recommend the impossible tacos and bowls! read more

I've had a pretty solid experience at this Qdoba for the most part. Have been going here for the past couple years I will say that it appears to be managed well. Good people in charge that actually give a damn about the place. Just based off what I noticed. Give it a try read more

My son got food poisoning (campylobacter) at this location on 3/13/23. I've called, messaged and emailed and gotten zero response. Terrible food safety response. Staff needs training on proper cooking of chicken. read more

Build your own nachos- whoever invented this concept is a genius! I loaded mine with chicken, cheese and two types of salsa. They also have spicy queso and habanero. The food is delicious and decently priced (cheaper than chipotle). The service here is really good; the employees are cordial and the very quick. read more

I ordered a quesadilla delivered by door dash. The store is 8 blocks away on the same block. When it arrived it looked like the restaurant just threw the ingredients in the box. It's not possible that this was from the delivery. It was made poorly because it was for delivery. I called the manager Nate, who didn't seem to care at all and made no offer to replace it or refund it, or even apologize for it. He told me to call corporate for DoorDash to complain about the driver error, who must have opened the bag, and then the box, and pulled everything apart. Instead I called corporate for qdoba and made a complaint against Nate. He didn't even say "I'll talk to the staff and tell them there is a complaint". He just simply and clearly couldn't give a crap about the poor performance of his employees, the poor quality of the way the food was made, or about customer satisfaction. He blew me off like he must many other aspects of his job. It's clear he doesn't care and should be replaced. I'll order from one of the dozen other places that deliver. This place sucked ass. Nate sucks ass. Next manager please. read more

So three of my last ten reviews have involved Burritos. I guess everyone knows what food has been on my mind of late! It took two years of walking by them, but my curiosity towards Qdoba has finally got the better of me to the point that I finally gave in and hit up another fast food joint. And all I can really say is Holy McBurrito! It definitely delivered on size and had I anticipated that I probably wouldn't have added on those chips (of course I probably didn't have to add sour cream and guacamole onto a burrito that already had a three cheese sauce. But sometimes I'm a Homer at heart!). but with rice, pinto beans chicken, and everything else that I chose to add on it was worth that inevitable run to the bathroom that I'm probably going to make later. And I liked that they hooked up soda refills and had plenty of Tabasco and hot sauce for each table. But overall it is assembly line production style fast food with all of it's strengths and weaknesses visibly present. And it would also be better if they had different tortilla options. So over all while it's a significantly better representative, it still is part of the Fast Food Nation. read more

My qdoba app says I've beento qdoba at least 192 times. This location has been my least favorite, and the only one I've had trouble at. A I was ordering a quesadilla and the manager took the quesadilla and pressed it before it got to the cold section where they ask if you want cilantro, jalapeños and other toppings. He acted surprised when I asked him to put on toppings after he cooked it. They also never asked if I wanted any sides, like sour cream and such like they have every other time I've been to a qdoba. I would go out of my way to go to the qdoba on temple. read more

Came to renew a reward for a free birthday cookie, and chips and salsa. Chips and salsa were great, chips were light and airy. Cookie was average; could improve upon presentation/wrapping as my critique. Most of the staff were friendly and pleasant. read more

I love qdoba. Everything is so flavorful and fresh. But at this location there are some servers that's don't serve you the corresponding portion. Half spoon of beans :/ and when you ask them for a (little) more because what they are serving is not fair they say alright that's gonna be some extra money. Not nice. There's no consistency with the portions. We usually stop by qdoba about 4-5 times a week and I don't think that's the right way of serving. read more

this is my favorite food place ever, it tastes super good, the service was amazing and ambiance was fire

A good place to get massive custom burritos and Mexican salads, as well as nachos smothered in queso. Standard layout with an assembly line. The steak is a bit chewy, but spiced adequately with the salsa, it's not bad in a quesadilla or burrito. The servers are generous with their portions, too. Only gripe is that guacamole costs extra every time. Satisfies the burrito craving, at least. read more

I am a fan of the food, the convenience, and the speed, and the value! This place gets super-busy at lunch, and the servers aren't always the friendliest! However, they get slammed and they do their jobs in a professional manner. You can't go wrong with a large burrito the size of your head... it either fills me up for the day, or I bring the leftovers home for dinner! read more

Awesome place, Very friendly Staff. At first, I saw the assembly line style food set up and I was skeptical, but: The Prices are very inexpensive, and you get SOOO much food. The food tastes very good too. The Nachos, Quesadillas , Burritos are HUGE! My favorite is the Chicken Three Cheese Nachos, it is like 2 meals worth and its only like $6.25! read more

Upon entry (8/17) the place reeked of extermination/bug spray. After mulling over if I should eat there or not because of the smell I gave it a shot because I've been wanting Qdoba for so long. They had no brisket..uuugghh the portion was like a kids meal it was like the girl was giving me her food. I asked for black beans, so few I could count them (11) and the whole bowl was tasteless super disappointing! read more

they ran out of ingedents and didn't tell use until we got there and then told use they cant refund use unless we call customer service but didn't have a phone number for it read more

I felt like I was cheating on Chipotle by going to Qdoba, but I had to try it. I came here and ordered a burrito bowl with half chicken and half steak. I love that they don't charge for guac which is definitely awesome. They also have a queso sauce that is pretty darn good and compliments the other ingredients really well. the spicy queso is pretty darn spicy so be warned. They have a few more things you can choose from to put into your burrito that Chipotle doesn't include.This place doesn't give as much food as Chipotle, so in the end, I would say Chipotle is the better deal for the quality and taste. Qdoba is a good alternative though if you dont want to wait at Chipotle when the lines get long. read more

This place is good as fast food goes but it's still fast food. I can make better Mexican food at home. And many authentic Mexican restaurants can make real Mexican food quickly without it being fast food. What's lacking? Multiple things: * The freshness of the ingredients...they're okay, not bad, just not super fresh. * The salsas are not hot enough. The medium has almost no detectable heat and the hot is what I'd call somewhere between mild and medium. * None of the ingredients stand out as amazing. Everything is just a tad bland: the cheese, the rice. * The meat is too salty...perhaps to mask low-quality meat? * The guacamole is insanely expensive..$1.19...I can buy a whole avocado for that price. Give me a break. I can understand charging maybe 79 cents but charging well over a dollar is price gouging. I think it's sad that these restaurants persist when there are so many hole-in-the-wall Mexican places that offer fresher, tastier food for cheaper. read more

it is what it is. i come here for naked burritos. It's pretty bland, I have them throw each and every salsa on it and it still needs something. read more

Food is very flavorful. Service is always friendly and fast. Free guac. Clean restaurant. Lots of seating always available. What's there to complain? I'm always satisfied after each visit and meal. :) read more

Normally Qdoba would get all the stars from me, but, well, this time, there was some ridiculousness involved... I always go for the nachos - either shredded beef or chicken - and have my chips on the side. This may sound strange to people unfamiliar with Qdoba nachos, but trust me. They pile on SO much stuff, that it is impossible for you to eat it all before the chips go completely soggy. Well, poor child at the register told me I could not have my chips on the side... EXCUSE THE EFF OUTTA ME... I've been getting them that way since the first Qdoba opened in Philadelphia, thankyouverymuch. So, she tells me the general manager said no. After a few seconds of mumbling about "what kinda nonsense..." the GM comes out from the back with another employee, and explains that some idiot was trying to eat them while they were driving, dropped them in their lap, and the queso was SOOOOO hot, that they had a car accident. So, for legal reasons, they have to put the cheese in a separate container. OK, put the cheese wherever you want, but I want my chips DRY. How hard is that to understand? The damn things are delicious, though, so I have to rate it as A-OK... cuz as we all know, good food makes everything better. read more
