I stopped at Qdoba at San Diego Airport and got a vegetarian burrito bowl with double beans for some extra protein, per the worker's recommendation. It was a good, simple meal and honestly a nice option when you're looking for something a little "healthier" while traveling. The workers were really nice and helpful, and everything behind the counter looked clean and well kept, which is always a plus. Is it pricey? Yes. But... you're at the airport, silly! As for parking, I came in on a plane and I'll be leaving on a plane, so I can't really speak to that. I will say the tarmac seemed to be experiencing higher-than-usual traffic and delays, which could potentially make getting around the airport a little more complicated, but that definitely has nothing to do with Qdoba. Overall, I'd recommend it if you want a quick, simple, subjectively healthy meal while at the airport. read more

QDOBA Mexican Eats - Burrito bowl no meat x2 beans - Mexican Near Me - San Diego, California

Food court finds... So cool of San Diego to have a food court and with about five different options it was Qdoba for me as I was eyeing the express Mexican cuisine for one I can make it totally on my own. Line is pretty much always long but moves rather quickly as long you know what you want but for me as it's my first time I didn't know the exact offerings that came standard and didn't want to tally up the total for a scary total. You start with your choice of bowl, burrito, quesadilla or nachos then base of rice and/or beans with choice of protein (veggies, chicken, steak plus a few specials) then the fun begins with toppings which they did have quite a few options of romaine lettuce, picked onions, jalapeños, corn, cheese and tomatoes. Then it's the sauces from (mild, medium or hot) salsa and there isn't a single sign to describe the options so I had no idea where I heard a guy asked for sour cream...sob! In all it was a good bowl considering the options I have at the airport food court which has a lot of window seating that's a great view (which they have a lot) but just knowing what they have here that I could actually bring on board though if I had to the steak was dry and lacked flavor but considering the options it was nice and I ate it all if that says anything. Thank you! read more

While waiting for my transfer flight to Las Vegas. I got hungry and I also needed to buy a bottle of water for my fur baby so he could eat his food as well. I read the many bad reviews for Qdoba even a reviewer recommended having a bottle of Pepto sheesh! We I personally have guts of steel and wasn't too worried about it. I ordered myself a steak burrito bowl. The line was long however it even pretty fast considering it was only 3 workers at the front. I picked my topping and the staff were friendly too! The prices were probably the best in the entire food court and my burrito bowl was huge and they were very generous with the portions. Everything looks extremely fresh and the steak look fresh out the kitchen when I arrived. There is plenty of seating in the middle of the food court area to enjoy your meal. I can say for certain I did not get sick from the food and it was quite delicious. read more

I generally like Qdoba food, this airport location service is terrible. Even giving the employees some grace since it's located in the airport food court, the employees we asked to confirm some food allergy info was dismissive and just said "we don't have allergy/ingredient info, go look online" This is an employee lack of training from corporate. However the employee needs to have a convo with their management about how to react to allergy requests. She might not care about potentially killing someone, but I'm sure Qdoba corporate doesn't want exposure to lawsuits of that nature. DO BETTER read more

The food was insanely overpriced and they let my quesadilla stay on the press while they were serving another customer, even though it was done. The environment was all right I mean it's in the airport so not much to say there. The food itself was actually delicious and very filling. If you're willing to pay a whole $20 for a good size quesadilla then have at it. But would recommend somewhere else in the San Diego airport. read more

Food quality: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Cleanliness: 3/5 Value: 5/5 Not a lot of breakfast options available at the San Diego airport but this hit the spot. We came in for breakfast and were so glad we did! I had the egg and potato small burrito with ranch, corn, and cotija cheese. It was packed with flavor. My husband ordered the steak and egg burrito with pico, verde salsa, and corn and he loved it too. Both burritos were fresh, hearty and really hit the spot. They serve breakfast until 10:30am so it's the perfect spot to grab a tasty morning bite. read more

Had to wait 20 minutes for them to get rice and beans. They had no vegetable protein. No queso. Only lettuce and shredded cheese and pico to top off the bowl. Very sad. They have a song that they add 2% to your bill to recruit people. Food was like warm. Service poor. read more

We arrived at the airport at 4:59 a.m. Luckily Doc had cooked breakfast for us to brown bag at the airport. We didn't get on 2 HA flights this morning... the grim reality of flying standby as a former airline employee. Only 2 flights going out from SAN so...We ended up buying 2 sets of tickets for 2 more flights but this time on Alaska. Their flight to Maui left without us. We have one more chance to try to get out 9 hours from the first flight we tried for. So by 11:09 a.m. after we checked in again it seemed a good idea to have lunch. I ended up selected Mexican food: bowl of adobo chicken with rice and beans( for hubs), added the protein, lettuce, cilantro, etc. I split it in the cover for hubs and we each had a bottle of Coca Cola zero. Easier to handle than a fountain cup. Early enough to get a table not squished together like those by the windows. The meal had enough flavor and was enough to share. The other choices were a burrito, loaded quesadilla, and birria. read more

QDOBA Mexican Eats is the breakfast hero at San Diego International Airport Terminal 2. TIP With most terminal 2 airport breakfast options being about $20 it was refreshing to see Qdoba offer breakfast bowls for $10. AMBIANCE There's an expansive seated area with a chandelier and palm trees. FOOD 5/5 Potato, egg, chicken breakfast bowl: freshly made with all the fixings - this was tasty, filling, and on the healthier side. SERVICE Speedy, friendly, helpful. Patrons line up and order at the counter. read more

Qdoba is located in the Terminal 2 Food Court. I needed some kind of breakfast and decided on a quesadilla. The quesadilla was good. The salsa made it come alive. I enjoyed the food. They had two sizes: regular and small. Regular is a large size like what you would use for a burrito. Small is a normal sized tortilla. The price was what Mexicans would call,"precio de gringo." In other words, very expensive. For a regular quesadilla and a bottled orange juice, it was over $20. The guy that waited on me was not friendly, welcoming, or engaging. To his credit, he did get my order right, but that was it. He acted like he did not want to be there and would rather not be waiting on anyone. While I enjoyed the food, there are other options and I will be checking those out next time I fly through San Diego. read more

This $14 burrito was the least expensive fast food meal at the airport. Odd that a server told me I couldn't take pictures of the food as it was being made for me, which did not make sense. 1) This is a public place. 2) No signs said I couldn't take photos. Good: Large burrito. No extra charge for guacamole or any other filling. Bad: Very little chicken. Not that much flavor. I have never eaten at QDoba before so I have no idea if airport food is the same as "normal" food. read more

San Diego airport has to be one of the worst airports for plant bases options. I was hopeful that QDOBA located in terminal 2 would offer a llanto based option. After walking from T1 and then through TSA security plus a myriad of other stores and restaurants, I finally found QDOBA. Apparently made there in time prior to them closing. Most QDOBA locations offer a plant based mear substitute but not this location. I understand that airport version of restaurants have scaled down menus to speed up operations but not have a plant based option besides grilled vegetables is an indictment not only for QDOBA but every single restaurant in San Diego International Airport. I was able to order a bowl with rice, beans, grilled vegetables, salsa and guacamole for 14 USD. By the way it's the same price if I was to have ordered meat. Does that make any sense considering meat is more expensive than veggies. I thankful for my bowl but there's a obvious opportunity for QDOBA and other restaurants in San Diego International Airport to have at a minimum one or two vegan options per location. To be clear there means no cheese, no butter, no dairy, and no other animal products. read more

10am on a Wednesday. Breakfast is listed as served until 10:30am. Dude in front of me orders a breakfast burrito. I try and order a breakfast burrito, lady says to me "we stopped serving breakfast". I point at the sign and she said they stop at 10am. I can literally still see eggs and potato's in the serving bins for them. Ok. I order a chicken burrito. No chicken. I order a steak burrito. No steak. Serious worst service ever. Guess I shouldn't expect much from a garbage airport food court chain. Glad I skipped it. As a co worked ended up waiting for a steak burrito and it was $17.50. For a burrito. Trash food rip off. read more

I have been taking out breakfast from here for as long as I've been traveling out of SAN Airport for about 10 years and I have to say it is pretty decent "Mexican Style" food for an airport food court. It only takes me 5 minutes to order my breakfast and it's always worth the pit stop prior to boarding my flight back home. Their staff is friendly, quick, and professional. Good service, price is right, And they have all the fix-ins you want! read more

Food absolutely sucked and there was no help getting a refund. Strongly recommend finding any other option in the airport.

On my return trip out of San Diego International Airport, I had an early flight. In search of a meal, my options were limited to the restaurants that were open for breakfast. I stumbled upon QDOBA Mexican Eats which I have had in the past when I was living in North Carolina. When I saw them grilling some fresh steak as I passed by, I knew this had to be the spot. I went with the breakfast steak quesadilla which is your standard quesadilla, plus eggs. Served with salsa and sour cream. Good portion size too. Easily two meals. While the steak isn't anything to write home about, for a chain like QDOBA, it does the job. read more

Employee lack motivation and consistency. Was struggling to fly out of San Diego for 2 days and since I had an early flight I went there for breakfast and ordered the same exact thing both days. I ordered the small steak breakfast burrito which they advertise for $5.48 the first day I was charged that plus tax which was slightly under $6.00. The next day I was charged $7.00. They will overcharge you so be careful when you order. Then she added the 13cents change as "employee benefit" charge! Be ready to wait in line for 30 minutes for your food! Workers are so slow and rude! They run out of items and then laugh and say "we're out" read more

Unfortunately, not a lot of good food choices at the airport. I've enjoyed Qdoba before but this one seems off. Not a lot of chicken with the burrito and not a lot of flavor. I asked for peppers and onions and they didn't tell that's a $3.50 extra charge until I got to the cash register (nor is it marked on the menu). So poor service, meh burrito and all for $18.50. Note to self, go somewhere else next time. read more

The only thing I liked was pinto beans with cheese. The spicy queso had a funny taste to it. I didn't enjoy it at all. I got the ground beef taco plate...the ground beef was AWFUL. To be honest, I wasn't really expecting much from this place, but I was not expecting it to be disgusting. San Diego is a city of amazing Mexican food. I thought I would take a chance on some good chips n queso. Unfortunately I cannot give anyone a recommendation for this place. read more

You will literally miss your flight ordering food from this restaurant. Slow as hell. Buyer beware.

I don't like the food of this place it's not authentic Mexican food. I checked out corp office and it was only white people they no nothing of the Mexican culture. The ladies in Human Resources are arrogant and not nice read more

Way overpriced for what you get, especially if you are vegetarian. I ordered a bowl with rice and beans, no meat, not even the vegetarian option. The portion of rice and beans was exactly what it would be with any bowl (one scoop), and I was charged $12! As you can see from the picture, most of the bowl is lettuce and pico. Regardless of it being located within an airport, where food is generally overpriced, $12 is outrageous for what I got. read more

Went to this place on to eat while waiting to board my plane and I was a little disappointed to say the least. I wanted a veggie bowl with the fajitas but they were out of fajitas and told me they wouldn't make more. I was sad because I basically ended up getting charged a normal veggie for like a salad with rice. Also when I got my food, it wasn't even warm so that was even more disappointing. read more

If give it a negative 3. The airport management needs more restaurants. Not enough choices, not enough restaurants. Waited in 20 min line at 12:15 and get up there no steak. Have no idea when the hey will have more. Only choice was chicken. Those place was a disaster. Walked away. Qdoba cant do their job. The airport needs more choices! read more

So apparently they are the Jack In The Box equivalent to Chipotle & McDonalds. One of the first things I noticed is that they only have 1 location in San Diego and that's in Terminal 2 food court which has shown to be successful for established SD food offerings, but doubtful to be so with that being the sole representation. I think it's hilarious how people make jest about the guacamole upcharge from Chipotle and here it's free, but lets face it both are a bit of shame to be called guacamole. With breakfast gearings and maybe less of a California vibe they sure do designate things large or small. The queso is good, idc who tells you otherwise. The salsa's have no heat, but at least their eggs are decently fluffy despite some real deficiencies in operations(more on that later). The options for toppings and sauces are good, but the menu convoluded. The glaring weakness' are service (20 minutes at 10am, really?) And it wasn't for food it was the paying, bagging and the eggs were certainly not attended to with any real concern over overcooking them. Just lacking efficiency, not to praise the machine of Chipotle, but they have their stuff together compared to QDOBA. Chorizo needed more spice, not a fan of the bottled water or the price, no salsa bar. I travel sometimes, but even if I'm using terminal 2 this is not some destination for terminal 2 food. #QNOPEA read more

The food is good here but at 7:30 am on 6/30/22 the service in the morning was ridiculously slow. This doesn't work for passengers hoping to grab a quick bite & catch their international (or Hawaiia-bound plane!) I was stunned at how slow the workers moved as if they didn't care at all. The lady taking orders simply vanished for awhile before returning to the food counter to wait on customers. They basically had a monopoly as all of the other food establishments next to them were not yet open! Definitely need a bigger staff. read more

I approached the counter and it seemed I was a bother to the server who was bays conversing with her coworkers. I said good morning and ordered the breakfast quesadilla with chicken. She assembled the ingredients and billed me with little pleasantry. I must say the quesadilla topped with sour cream and salsa was a great choice. But customer service was lacking. read more

There was one in MissionValley right at the Mission Valley trolley station stop! I ordered the bowl! It is like a Chipotle concept! The difference is they have a loyalty reward card, 4 chicken menu available that you don't have to figure out what you want because Qdoba already figured the ingredients for you! They have the create your own like chipotle.. the food items are very flavorful and tasty! I had the bowl with cilantro rice and greens , grilled steak, guacamole, picketed Ted onions, etc etc about 6 other toppings more for $9.99! Visit this place- you might like it! Take a trolley and come back with a bag of Mexican foods! Yum! Btw, this Amex resto is only been here since Nov 2020! 2.5 months! read more

From the "not so expensive" options that you could find at this airport. Qdoba ls actually pretty good. For the most part, it is standard Qdoba fare. Because it's at the airport.. there are a few things they don't carry like "bacon" or "pinto beans". A bonus - this is located in a nice seating area with big windows, so it is very pleasant to sit and eat. read more

I've had QDoba in the past and it was never this bad. Almost $20 for a bowl of not even subpar food. Plus, the customer service was pathetic. You're tired, you deal with people all day, I get it, but you could at least acknowledge my existence as I stand there while you gossip with your coworkers and then act like you care when you finally do spare some attention for my order. Wish I'd hopped on yelp before coming here. read more

Surprisingly delicious, filling, AND affordable breakfast choice for those early morning flights!! Reviewing breakfast here only for now as the lunch options are a little more$. I was really pleasantly surprised with the breakfast burrito and quesadillas! They are onky about $6 for a refular sized which is super filling. You can select eggs and potatoes OR add chicken or chorizo (only the steak is extra cost). They wrap it with cheese and you can add a variety of other fixins od your choice like corn, pico de Gallo, a vatiety of salsas, and you can even get a little side of guac and sour cream on the side no charge yay!! They make it fresh in front of you so it's hot and delicious! I looked at the other options in the nearby food court and they are twice tge price for similar breakfast burrito but probably dont come with the fixings. Good value and pretty darn tasty for airport food!! read more
