    Burrito Surf & Turf + Mexican Street Corn + Nachos Chicken.
    Juan O.

    Qdoba never fails when food. Clear menu, good taste, proper volume on music, clean tables and very attentive and friendly staff. Highly recommended if you are in the area and want something good, fast and full of flavor. They also have catering and as a bonus, they set up everything at your event(s), yes, I read that inside the location as an ad flier. Right now they have a new item on the menu called "Mexican Street Corn" a must try thing. You won't regret, I promise you. Sad this trip they didn't have red salsa (Tapatio) glass bottles*. Next time they might.

    I ordered Chicken Adobo Nachos. I ordered it through Doordash. The food was good. I anticipated the sauces on the side but were added. The food was still great. Just know sauces are added.

    I haven't eaten Qdoba in years and I cannot believe I'm saying this but it's so much better than Chipotle. Even their rewards program is tremendously much more generous. I like Chipotle too, it's closer to my house and I feel like there's many more locations but a nice meal at Qdoba can really top off those Mexican food cravings! This is probably one of the best locations in Montgomery County. The employees are friendly, the restaurant is clean and the food itself is always fresh. For those who never had Qdoba, It's a similar line-up to Chipotle where you place your order and line up against the rows of ingredients available to your choosing. For me, I generally go with a chicken burrito bowl and black beans. From there on, it's really up to your liking of what you put into your bowl but honestly there's nothing there that I dislike. I also ordered a side of chips with salsa, guacomole and queso. I'm not a huge queso fan, but it was pretty darn good. Reminded me of cheese nachos that you get from the movies! A complaint I do have though is that their chips are a bit lighter and much more fragile. I feel like whenever I eat them, they just break as I'm dipping them into whatever side I'm eating them with. Otherwise, it's a great balance of salt and crunch together. When I was in college, I would used their Student ID discount almost weekly just because it was a great deal for a meal and so convenient to my apartment at the time. For those not in school, there's an app-rewards program that lets you accumulate points for free meals, sides or drinks. I went with my sister and her fiance' on Monday around 9:20 PM and it was pretty dead inside. Although it was close to closing and it was a weekday, I would have expected more diners coming in. The interior of the restaurant is clean, but just a few of the tables were a bit dirty. It was also a bit dimly lit but they do have televisions surrounding the establishment so it's nice to watch something while you eat. Overall, I would definitely return when I'm in the area.

    Between the face masks and the screens they've installed over their bars, it's kind of hard to hear or to be heard when placing your oder. But as for the food... I was pretty surprised by the taste of the steak quesadillas and the ground beef bowl. I dont recall the last time I had Qdoba but would definitely consider lunch here again!

    Yummy

    As a regular of this place, I can vouch for it being an excellent place for bowls, burritos, tacos, and quesadillas--amiable staff, great-tasting food, and all at a fair price--also a big fan of their wide selection of fresh ingredients **I haven't been here in a while, I need to come back, this was from my past experience**

    Qdoba is one of my favorite places to eat when I am craving Mexican food ( they have seating inside and outside). I love that the guacamole is free with your meal!!! The food is always fresh and don't get me started with the mild queso sauce, sooooo GOOD. They have taco Tuesday every Tuesday for MC/MCPS students ( as long as you have your school ID) , you get whatever you order for $5 (burrito or bowl comes with drink) I always get tortilla in a bowl with chicken , white rice , black beans , tomatoes, corn , extra lettuce, sour cream , queso and guac on the side (describing it alone has gotten me craving some lol) My only issue with them is there customer service. I visit regularly and NEVER get a warm welcoming or greeting ( sometimes there is a language barrier and that gets frustrating at times) ( the women would speak in Spanish right in my face without uttering a word to me) , which has caused me not to go or i'll go to the location on Tech Rd ; The workers are always really nice there !

    I got the taco bowls. This is another version of chipotle Tex-mex ! The foods was great for the price's & very spacious inside but the parking lot is a little crowded!

    In the past, I was the biggest fan of Chipotle and absolutely hated Qdoba. Thankfully my taste palette expanded and now I am Qdoba's #1 fan and everything at Chipotle tastes like nothing to me. As good as the food at Qdoba is, this is the only location I'd ever go to to get anything from. I've tried the location at CP and their location in Woodbridge; both of them had stale rice and old food that left me with an upset stomach. Qdoba has so many toppings, enough to satisfy every flavor profile. I like things on the spicy side so my go-to order is a burrito bowl with the tortilla inside, brown side, chicken [but if I'm feeling bougie, I'll get steak], black beans, a few pieces of fajita peppers, diablo queso, habanero salsa, shredded cheese, lettuce, chopped onion and chopped fresh jalapenos. I'll also ask them to top it off with salsa verde and sour cream. Although they don't charge extra for guac, I've noticed that their guac has too much lime juice for my liking so I always skip it. On Tuesday, they have student ID specials but since I am not a student anymore, I just pay through the app that lets me collect points and redeem them for food later. There is a language barrier sometimes with most employees which I don't mind at all because even so, they don't mess up your order but I do notice that everyone is a little frazzled during lunch time. They are trying to get the line to move fast but only then do they mess up people's orders because they don't listen and start adding stuff to your meal before you can get a word in BUT anytime I've seen that happen, they almost immediately re-make their food for them.

    Qdoba is such a tasty place to eat! Similar to Chipotle, which is a fast casual restaurant. However, to me, Qdoba is a lot better than Chipotle. The flavors are so refreshing and there is a wide variety in vegetables and textures regarding what you can add in your bowl or burrito. The queso is also exquisite. Please come and try! I love this place more than Chipotle.

    Sooo good!  I started eating before I took a pic, but trust me, it was flavorful, and just right!

    After the horrible service at the Silver Spring QDOBA where they cheat you out of your serving size and only favor Latin customers, I was pleasantly surprised to see that this QDOBA in Rockville does the complete opposite. The serving size was generous, they gave you the right amount of meat without having to ask for a second serving and they were very friendly. The food here also tasted better than other Qdoba's. It tasted fresher and had more flavor than the other locations. I loved that we can sit inside or outside. Overall a great place to eat. The fact that they're generous with the chicken and steak servings along makes me want to give it 5 stars. Keep up the great work! I will definitely be making this my primary QDOBA from now on out!

    David W.

    Let me just start by saying QDOBA has the best Chips and dip hands down. It's so tasty and the chips are delicious. I also got the chicken and cheese quesadilla and they are fantastic as well. I really don't think they have anything bad on the menu. Very very good Mexican food for your money, this is a place I look forward to whenever I'm in Rockville.

    This is a homey place that does not look like much from the front (the weeks' old piles of snow in…read morethe street wasn't their fault), but the food was excellent. I ordered carryout, including a pulled chicken Gordita, a pulled goat meat Gordita for the same amount, some chicken tacos (soft flour shell with white meat grilled, chopped chicken topped with very little), and the Tacos Dorados (fried tacos stuffed with shredded chicken and topped with green salsa and cheese). Pictures are from when I got home with my food. Needless to say, for $32 or so (which includes a 20% tip), I had enough food for 3 meals. The Gorditas, while not necessarily healthy, definitely fill you up. The Tacos Dorados were very good for a late night, post drinking (water, of course!), dinner, and the chicken tacos were excellent for a next-day lunch. Accompanying my food were two different sauces -- a red sauce that did not have much flavor, but was scorching hot on the palette and a green sauce that was very tasty and moderate in heat. Overall, an outstanding choice for authentic Mexican food that was very, very good.

Prices are reasonable, portions are generous and staff is friendly. The food is fresh and they have a complementary salsa bar. I ordered the Baja burrito with chicken. It was humongous and was easily more than 1 meal. The tortilla was toasted on the outside and filled with pico de gallo (fresh tomatoes, cilantro and onions), shredded lettuce, cheese and guacamole (no extra charge for the guacamole). The chicken was char grilled chicken breast chunks and made the the majority of the burrito, nicely cooked. What I liked was that it wasn't sauce laden and soggy, nor did the contents leak out. The meal came with a small order of warm tortilla chips. The salsa verde from the salsa bar went well with the chips and the burrito (was medium spice).

I…read morereally like Baja Fresh, but the one near me in Hanover, MD closed, so now Rockville is the closest location about 23 miles the most direct way from my home. I think Baja Fresh does an excellent job on how they make the tortillas. So, the best things to get here are the burrito and quesadilla. I got the chicken quesadilla for lunch yesterday as I didn't want to overeat as I was going to a dinner event that night although it was still a bit more filling than I thought with the chips & salsa included too along with the guacamole & sour cream that comes with the quesadilla. So, why a 3-star review here (& not 4 or 5)? When I walked in a little before 1 PM, it was very hot in there. It was a hot summer day, and the AC should've been going. I didn't say anything at first as I was trying to get the order in and get my $5 off deal to go through. Then, I was focused on getting my water, salsa, etc. I got my chicken quesadilla and started to eat, but I was uncomfortable & angry about the heat in there. I got up and told the cashier (who was nice) it's very hot in here, and this is completely unacceptable. She apologized, and she got another staff member to unlock the thermostat to turn on AC. Afterward, I looked, and it was 85 F inside. Towards the end of my meal, it was starting to feel a bit of cool air, but still hot in there. While I appreciate, they were quick to act to turn on the AC. I question why was the AC off for the 1st 2.5 hours of the day they were open?! It wasn't because the AC wasn't working. There was another customer eating in there who didn't speak up about it. But even for the people taking the food to go, still had to wait in the heat in there. Other positives: The cashier was nice and offered me the courtesy cup of water without me asking. I had my own reusable water bottle as well. So, that was much appreciated on her part. Conclusion: So, the lack of AC (when working too) pissed me off, was totally unacceptable, but at least they acted quickly to turn on. This could've been a health issue especially for sensitive groups. However, considering the food was great & cashier was very nice, and also, I didn't want to give a 2-star as I don't want the Rockville location to close too (after Hanover closed). Only 2 in MD (not counting hospital location) Rockville & Timonium and 1 in Fairfax, VA. Rockville is the only one there's a small chance I'd make to it, so I want them to stay open.
