this is now the 3rd time I have door dashed food from here, just for them to completely mess up my order 3x in a row. i don't know if it's incompetence and they hire people who simply can't read at a 5th grade level, or they just simply do not care. I'm done with this nonsense and will be calling tomorrow first thing in the morning. ridiculous that yall can't tell the difference between a bowl with chicken and a burrito with steak. do better. read more

Love the food and service great.. although the people around valparaiso are kinda weird. I definitely recommend this Qdoba

They always make great food and I order often! I usually get Uber eats so I'm rarely in there but it never disappoints.

10/10 best burrito I ever had! Compliments to the chefs The chefs were very helpful when I asked what was in the pico de gayo and they said onion, Tomato, cilantro, lime, and salt read more

QDOBA Mexican Eats - Grilled Adobo Chicken Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Valparaiso, Indiana

I ordered the chicken tacos just 2 instead of the 3. I'll just say things on the taco and the tortilla that should be hot or at least warm were not. They had just 1 person trying to handle a lunch crowd... did not help the situation. This is my 1st bad experience at the chain in my travels. read more

Always enjoy QDOBA over Chipotle because their queso is much better and do not charge extra for anything. I know Chipotle is not supposed to charge extra any more but some places still do. Always fast and friendly service at this location. I never had a problem with them skimping on portions. read more

Ok you're going Chipolte or Qdoba. Chipolte or Qdoba. Both are hard to spell, but Qdoba is owned by great people who treat you like you matter. Chipolte is owned by people who would thrive on State Street in Chicago, meaning they have the bedside manner of Nurse Ratchet. At Qdoba, you ask for extra on your order, and it's not like you're taking food from their dying grandmother's mouth. They are great. The experiences are so night and day. Qdoba is amazing, great wait staff (who actually came out and asked how everything was -- which has NEVER HAPPENED at Chipolte. Qdoba gives great portions, great service, great follow up, and actually makes you feel good about eating there. For Chipolte? Oh well, they should visit Qdoba and see how treating customers well makes a huge difference. The best fast food bet in town. read more

I have experienced very friendly staff here in the past and it quickly became one of my favorite spots to have lunch. Actually the woman that usually takes my order is very pleasant every single time. This is not about you. My experience more recently took a turn for the worst. On one occasion, I asked for steak, but quickly decided that the remaining steak did not look as fresh as I would like. No big deal, right? I would've just picked something else. I'm not too picky. But the girl behind the counter said that she could get me fresh steak. This I thought was wonderful, actually. I was very excited for fresh steak. Upon her return, however, she seemed angry. Probably should not have asked for the fresh steak I guess. I thought this was over and went about my day, slightly confused about the attitude I have been given. The following time I visited with my girlfriend. Immediately, I sensed something was still off. I told her that I wanted steak, and her response was a irritated "What do you want?" I told her that I wanted a bowl. From this point the ingredients were aggressively put into my bowl, each and every one. I'm even surprised that everything was actually making it into the bowl, with the amount of aggravation being put into the components of my meal. When we got to the beans, I asked for them to only be put on one side, as my girlfriend doesn't like them. The beans were immediately put right into the middle, and then swirled throughout the bowl for extra effect. No going back from that point. Remaining ingredients were then thrown into the bowl just as the others were. I cannot describe in words the strange attitude I was given by this girl, because it seemed so abnormal to me. I don't know if she personally knows me, or my girlfriend, but I just wanted a meal, without complication. When I went to pay I asked if I could speak to a manager. Surprise, that was the manager. I declined to have a conversation with the very same girl, but was very amused by the Twilight Zone episode that I had walked into. As I walked away, the girl was on her phone texting ignoring her employees. Thinking to myself that no one is going to believe me so I took a picture. I later decided to call and speak with the general manager. Finally someone who could understand all this havoc, right? No. He told me that taking pictures in his store is a "problem" in itself. I quickly became the one at fault apparently. This picture is not for public display and still is not, it was only to show the management what is happening in their store. Then he told me that he doesn't see a problem, and this is just how she acts. Furthermore, he said he already heard her side of the story. I still do not know what I did. I have absolutely no idea. Really. I just came for food and now everyone is angry at me. We wrapped up the call with the gm telling me where I worked as if to imply that he can find me or something. Threatening? Yes. Unprofessional? Very. read more

Good food, very quick service. Employees are a little grumpy though. Damn college kids all sad that they have to work for living I am sure.... read more

QDOBA Mexican Eats - Mexican Near Me - Valparaiso, Indiana

I am home visiting my parents and went to Qdoba today for lunch. It is fairly new and located in the same strip mall as Panera near Target, so great location. I had see Qdobas in downtown Chicago, so I was excited to try it! I had heard it was very similiar to Chipotle, which I love. I thought the menu was a little more confusing than Chipotle, but I did see many many things on it that looked tasty. As a vegetarian, I really appreciate options. There is a quesadilla, a vegetarian burrito, a grilled veggie burrito and vegetarian Mexican gumbo among others! The vegetarian burritos come with guacamole for free! I also liked that they had a breakfast menu, although we did not try it. It is similiar to Chipotle in that you choose what you would like to eat, then follow it down the "assembly line", choosing what type of beans and salsa you would like, and adding other tasty ingredients. I ordered a vegetarian burrito, and as I was going down the line, I noticed they had the normal grilled cut up peppers and onions, which I'm not a huge fan of, and they also had cut up squash and zucchini, which is different and sounded really good. My mom ordered ahead of me and had already paid while my burrito was still in progress. I asked for some of the zucchini squash mixture to be added to my burrito and the guy building it yelled to the cashier that I owed more because now my burrito was a Grilled Veggie Burrito instead of a Vegetarian burrito. The way he handled it was kind of embarrassing, especially considering the difference was 30 cents! The manager standing behind the cashier said it was not a big deal, since I had not gotten guacamole, that they would not charge me extra. This situation wasn't a deal breaker or anything, just a heads up that there IS a difference between the two burritos. I would go back and try some other things. They do have a Pick 2 section of the menu where you can choose quesadillas and gumbo, or tacos and a burrito, all in slightly smaller portions, for $5.99! Bargain! read more

Food was great but I was most impressed with customer service. I got to the end of the line to pay and realized I forgot my wallet. Without hesitating, they gave me my meal and said if I wanted to call back later to pay over the phone I could. When I called to pay, she said that the only charge was to pay it forward and pass along something positive. :) read more

Terrible terrible terrible!! My first time going to this place I was very hesitant when I walked in, because I'm a Chipotle fan. I could barely read/understand their menu and I saw no part of the menu that had "extra charges" information on it. I ordered a vegetarian bowl. While ordering, the lady had a terrible attitude. I had no idea what I COULD get in there and what I COULDN'T. She rushed me, and FAILEd to tell me that the onions/peppers and queso were EXTRA CHARGES. What I thought would be priced a little over 6 dollars ended up being nearly 9 dollars. I will never go back here again (especially this store). Everytime I go to Chipotle, they ALWAYS tell the customer that certain things are extra, no matter how many times they think that person has been there. Qdoba is very uninformative, and all employees that day were rude. I've heard this store had a bad rep before, but I wanted to give it a try since all my friends ranted & raved about this place. In my opinion, the quality and service of Chipotle is way better, and I will stick to Chipotle over Qdoba ANYDAY. Oh, and one more thing: when I called corporate to complain (which I was very professional about) they didn't even offer me a credit or even say "we hope you're able to visit our stores again", which I thought was a terrible way to keep customers coming back. Step your game up Qdoba. ---PS: Today (10/20/13) I got an email from corporate asking about the situation and they offered me a gift certificate, so they DO in fact care about their customers. My faith has been partially restored :) read more

First time coming in with my S.O. and we were both not pleased. Server was not very informative about anything and I was very lost the entire time. Not a great atmosphere to be in. Once I sat down with my burrito I got ten big mouthfuls of white rice, NO STEAK. read more

Very good Mexican'ish! Got the pick two nachos with chips on side/ tacos, put the nacho slop on my tacos and didn't speak again until it was done. If you're looking for El Salto's it's down the way! If you just want a better plate but not over pay, stop in. read more

QDOBA Mexican Eats - Mexican Near Me - Valparaiso, Indiana

I generally enjoy Qdoba more than Chipotle, but the service here is particularly bad. The person preparing my order acted like she didn't want to be bothered and didn't want to walk me through the line. I'll probably still be a Qdoba customer when traveling, but here at home, not so much. read more

First time trying Qdoba and the food was magnificent. My only issue is that they said my Yelp coupon for this exact location was not accepted. The coupon is for this location only!!! read more

Went to Qdoba for lunch on a Saturday (Feb. 21st) with my boyfriend. He had never been there before and felt like there were a lot of choices to make. I have been before (valpo and other cities) and I felt quite a bit rushed (even though there was no one else in line)! The food was standard Qdoba quality...kind of like a Subway for Mexican food. It felt fresh and I would go back again. Also, we spent about $12 a person (food and a pop) so that's about the same as Dickey's or Panera. The three stars are totally because we were rushed for no reason at all. I could understand if there was a line...or even one other person behind us--but there wasn't! That was a great opportunity for the staff explain the food and choices to us (I pointed out that my boyfriend hadn't been there before and needed some help) but that didn't happen. read more

Just went here for the first time the other day with my other half. He'd been there before without me and he was excited to go back. They have a good range of selections on the menu and a duo sampler(called Craft 2) which I chose because I couldn't decide on one thing! :) Got the chicken quesadillas and the steak tacos. The chicken is AMAZING! It's got a wonderful smokiness to it that reminded us of tailgating. The steak was dry unfortunately, but the nice thing about the tacos is that you build them yourself. They have all kinds of fresh toppings to choose from. I also had to try a side of the rice which was SO incredibly yummy. It was perfectly cooked(which I was very surprised about) and had cilantro running throughout. Also, we tried the 3-cheese queso dip which was also delicious. It's got just the right amount of back heat to give that kick after you eat it. :) I got a couple sides of hot sauce so I could experiment on my tacos. The salsa verde is okay, nothing to write home about. And the other I believe was an ancho chili sauce. That had some decent heat and good flavor. I can't wait to go back here and try something different! Great place to go for any meal...they even offer breakfast! Open 7am-10pm read more

Another burrito joint. Good portions, speedy service, exactly what you expect

After waiting some time to try Qdoba again, my most recent visit was 100% better. The staff was attentive, the food was on point, and they gave me plenty of chips with my craft 2. read more

Always great food. Love their burrito bowls and the guac is some of the best in town!

I love this place always come here and enjoy it, just recently I have had an not so good customer service, the lady doing the preparation today 1/7/19 at 1:43 was extremely rude she was acting like she knew everything but still kept asking us the same question as if we were answering if stupidly. The person I was with said she felt rushed and over whelmed i agreed once again the food is amazing read more

It's been a while since I've been too a Qdoba. Before i go any further, let me say that the service was good. The young ladies working in there were very friendly and nice. I ordered a pretty standard chicken burrito. The quality of the ingredients were good but the finished product had no flavor whatsoever. On top of that, they don't mix up the ingredients in the burrito. This means when you get a bite, it's all beans or all rice. Half the ingredients are warm and the others are cold. Now i understand why they offer to douse them in queso. This should be fresh food that is good for you. Not some crappy cheese covered mess. Thumbs down. read more

I usually love t but the employee who rolled my burrito needed to not mess it up like. 5 year old and roll it falling apart

Inappropriate work behavior. Very impersonal interactions in a customer servicing restaurant habitat.

I have been going to this particular QDoba for 4 years or so. I alway receive a warm greeting and get the food prepared the way I want. There have been many visits where I really felt like the staff went above and beyond to make my experience a great one. Food options are good, fresh veggies are good, and no additional pricing for guacamole make this place very nice. read more

Service. Poor. To be treated as if I was being a bother? No thanks! Nothing is made properly....the veggies I got on my burrito were still raw! And this happened multiple times. Unfortunately I will never go back because of the multiple mess ups. read more

$7.28 = A Cup of rice, Half a cup of beans and 2 oz. of dry chewy beef cubes. Steak Burrito??? Not!

Good place! The workers are always friendly and the food is good. My only problem is that the food isnt separated very well- one time I got meat in my vegetarian gumbo. The manager was very nice about it, though. read more

Food is always good. I love the chips and cheese dip. The smothered burritos are good too. They are really quick with the service when you order, very little wait if any at all. The only downside is that four employees were sitting in the dining room on their cell phones, and chatting with each other. That's not great. read more
