    Burrito bowl
    Gabriella C.

    I appreciate how Qdoba prepares fresh ingredients and flavorful spices, however the location on Frederick Rd is somewhat difficult to arrive to if you're coming from North of Rockville. You would have to make a left at the intersection of Frederick and Shady Grove Rd then another U turn to pass by the Checkers. This location is very spacious and clean, utensils and napkins always stocked, and there's always an employee greeting you once you come to the food counter. I've been here multiple times to enjoy their filling burrito bowls (without the tortilla) & they are pretty generous with the portion sizes.. I definitely was stuffed!

    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!

    My perfect bowl :)

    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!

    It's fine. I like the food. The tables to the right near the soda fountain aren't the best and it could have been cleaner. I would go back.

    It's alright. I can't stand the obnoxiously loud music. Maybe if you're an old person who can't hear, then you would enjoy it.

    Came here for an event, so this rating is based solely on the food I had during that experience…read more The staff were friendly, and the fruit we were served was fresh. The Chick-n-Minis were also yummy. The bread was buttery and soft, and the chicken was tender and flavorful. I've ordered from this location a few times before and have usually had a great experience overall, so I'm a little surprised to see so many low reviews.

    I agree with Mike's review and this is definitely the worst location in MOCO hands down…read more.. How is the service so ridiculously slow when there's no drive thru?? I should have did a mobile order but I wouldn't save any time... Staff here ain't friendly like Germantown, Rockville or Kentlands. ... 2 employees ( female with braided extensions and another female with a pony tail just standing by the drink station talking about driving schools etc when tons of people are waiting on their orders or orders to be taken... I finally get my food... 20 minutes.... Then I check my bag and im missing sauces and napkins?? How should I wipe my hands and mouth?? Should I wipe it on my shirt or on my car seats?? Why are napkins so sacred?? Do I have to ask? Homegirl seemed annoyed that I had to ask??! My tater tots and food wasn't hot.. so why did I have to wait 20 minutes?? Anyways this location is less than desired.. no drive through, the lobby is drab and lacks the personal touch of flowers like Rockville and Germantown. I should've gone to the golden arches.. Avoid avoid!

    Ehhh...I was hoping for something better but got just ok…read more Located in Pike and Rose off Old Georgetown Rd, it's situated in a really good area. I went around 6 pm on a Saturday and it was pretty empty at the time. There are kiosks that you can order at or you can order at the counter. I ordered the 3 wings (whole) and a side of fries. I didn't have to wait long and when I got my bag the food was hot!!!! I probably should have gotten what they are known for (chicken sandwiches) but I wanted wings badly. The fries were good but could've used just a little more time in the grease to make them a bit crispier. The wings were served hot and fresh out the grease. I was expecting great and got just ok. The wings lacked flavor and could have been fried a tad bit longer for a crispier bite. I was almost afraid that they were undercooked, so I ate only one wing out of caution. I will go back, but only for reputable menu items and not the wings. Also...the restaurant was fairly clean (likely bc it was empty) but could have used a once over as it appeared that the dining floors were swept but the dirt was left in a corner; this could appear as if the restaurant wasn't a tidy as it needed to be. Overall, I'll give it 3.5 out of 5 stars.

    I dropped by Roaming Rooster because I was having a fried chicken craving, and I wanted to try…read moresomething a bit new. Although I've seen quite a few Roaming Roosters sprout up in the area, I figured that it was time to try out the food. For my order, I went with the chicken tenders (3-4 pieces) and a cup of fries. The order was about $14 without tip. I thought the portion size of the tenders and fries were pretty good based on what I have received from other chicken spots in the area. An order of fries is about four bucks (I didn't see any combo meals on the menu), but you will receive A LOT of fries. If you are dining with someone, you might want to split an order of fries unless you are super hungry. The tenders, which have three spice levels (mild, medium and hot) will come out PIPING hot, which is a good thing. I even had to wait a few minutes to eat the chicken because the food was so hot. I guess this definitely is a good thing if you are doing take out because the food will not be cold as ice by the time you arrive home...depending on how far you live from the restaurant. Overall, I thought the food was delicious, and the spice level of medium just was what I was looking for. I thought it was kind of funny/interesting that the chicken tenders were served on a plain white piece of bread with three pickles, but I guess that's just how Roaming Rooster does it. Perhaps, the bread is there to soak up some of the oil from the chicken, which I guess is a good thing. The fries were pretty awesome because they reminded me a bit of the fries from Five Guys, which I LOVE. Service was fine. One of the workers seemed to be a bit grumpy, but the woman who took my order had a nicer attitude. I stopped by around 6/7 pm so maybe the worker was just over their workday...a mental state that probably all of us has experienced on multiple occasions. The restaurant has a decent dining area with a small outdoor section (I believe there is an upper dining area too). Personally, I was not a fan of the outdoor dining section because it shares a walkway where customers/delivery people are entering and leaving the restaurant.
