Well, the food is good and that's all there is to it. The service is pretty crappy but I'm the type of person who just loves to eat and is concerned mostly with the food. Therefore this Qdoba is great if you don't care about having top notch customer service. read more

QDOBA Mexican Eats - The three cheese nachos were so good that I had to wait till the end for a picture. - Mexican Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Got takeaway from here because it was close to our hotel. Really disappointing- food was cold the nachos were stale.

I give this place 0 stars. I have been here several times for lunch. There is a serious issue with this game place and food handling. The Hispanic male manager handles the cash/card transactions and without gloves will pick up the lids and place them on the bowls without washing or sanitizing his hands thereby transferring any germs he has on his hands from handling nasty cash and credit cards. I have spoken to him several times concerning this issue and not to place my lid on my food and would have someone with gloves do it. Well today there was another man there, White male and not sure who he was but he told me I didn't have to eat there and he is right and I won't ever eat at this disgusting place again. If they don't feel it's important to respect that I don't want someone handling money and handling my food at the same time I can surely take my money and my health concerns to a more cleaner place who places their customers safety first. BEWARE.. Safety first #covid-19 or even food born illnesses. read more

Today I saw a male cashier once again handle food after touching money without gloves or washing his hands. When my work colleague stepped in and informed the cashier that he should not be handling money and food simultaneously, their manager/supervisor interrupted her to inform her that "you don't have to come here and get food from us", thus brushing off her concerns. The manager/supervisor did not take my colleague's comments seriously and, instead of chastising the cashier for not wearing gloves, condescendingly scolded my colleague. Today, March 16, 2020, is not the first time we have seen the cashier proceed to handle food, then handle money and vice versa. My colleague has expressed her concerns with that cashier over his lack of wearing gloves when handling money and food and they have gone on deaf ears. Given the fact that we are in the middle of the 2020 COVID Pandemic, I would think that a restaurant would do its best to curtail food borne illnesses. Based on the reaction we received from the supervisor, it appears they do not care about the well-being of their customers. read more

Every trash can in the store was full, including the bathroom. Perhaps the A/C was malfunctioning because my wife and I couldn't stop sweating while eating. While I was ordering the toppings for my burrito, I felt rushed even though I knew exactly what I wanted. They assumed I only wanted two ingredients and no veggies. Don't know why. Eyerolls are never good. Food was pretty good and not a bad value. For our first time at a Qdoba we may or may not try it again. read more

Good food, comparable to Chipoltle. Clean, nice decor. But very small, crowded, and hot. It's best to just get takeout here. I got the bowl with steak and it was great. read more

Poor quality food. Dirty bathrooms, floors and tables. Food somehow managed to be flavorless yet too salty.

Our go to place for a snack before or after a movie at the E Street Cinema if we're not in the mood for a real dinner. (Since the entrance is on E Street right next to the E Street Cinema, I don't get why the address is 11th Street cuz that's not where it is!) It's always tasty and delicious and fresh tasting. If you want to make it lo-cal it's easy to lighten up on the rice or skip the wrap and have a "naked" sandwich. read more

I've never gotten in a physical fight before in my life--usually eschewing the situation by saying something so witty it blew the agressor's mind, asking them to make out instead of punching me, or running like hell. However, let me tell you this. I will (well I might) fight anyone, anyone in the world, who says that Qdoba is better than Chipotle, or anywhere even close in taste or quality for that matter. Qdoba is ghost feces--it's so hard to put my finger on exactly why it's horrible, but it is. Fact. read more

Horrible my friend found plastic in his food . The cashier didn't apologize or anything . The cashier seemed shocked .. I don't think I come back , 1 star for the girls who work there we're nice read more

Great tasting food and lots of it. Staff here was very friendly and efficient during a busy lunch. I'd highly recommend this place!!!

Do not order from here through Yelp or eat 24. Order never came. Waited over an hour which was my entire lunch break. Someone kept calling me saying "she's outside. You have to come outside to meet her" "she doesn't have a car, she's walking" read more

The food itself was actually good, but the Salvadoran people working here are not very happy. They keep the place pretty dirty and they are pretty rude to customers. I have been here two times now and both times I've seen the staff be very rude to customers. Not happy workers. read more

Fine, nothing special, somewhat overpriced Americanized Mexican food. The guac had potential, but was almost frozen it was so cold. Very salty. Place was clean though! read more

I absolutely love Qdoba! And I'll take it any day over Chipotle. However, this location is terrible! The service is unbelievably bad. The unprofessional staff is usually too busy talking to each other, instead of paying attention to their customer's orders. Frequently I have to repeat myself, or wait until they are done talking so I can tell them what I want on my burrito. Then I get a major attitude for interrupting them. The food is also subpar compared to other Qdobas in the area. The last time I ate there the chicken on my nachos was cold and fatty. I keep giving this place a chance because it's right next door to the E. Street Cinema, but I think I'm done now. I'd rather drive an extra 15 miles and get good food from smiling faces than deal with the bitchy attitudes again. read more

Absolutely disgusting. First, their salsa is basically pizza sauce, and their chicken was cold. Not impressed. Plus, the whole restaurant is a mess. Take the trash out, people!! P.S. Their service was awful. It's like they didn't care one bit. Back to Cali I go where real Mexican food is served on every block!!! read more

Before yesterday (7/22/2014), I would have given Qdoba a 5 out of 5. I've always preferred Qdoba to Chipotle, however Qdoba has forever lost my business. I received terrible food poisoning last night and I believe it was because of their beans. My burrito order: White tortilla, black beans, white rice, mild salsa (tomato), corn salsa, and regular shredded cheese. I ate the burrito at 4pm on 7/22 and by 7pm I felt nauseated. I returned home and I was unable to eat anything else. Around 9pm, I had to go to the bathroom and didn't find the most pleasant sight. I reassured myself I just had an upset stomach. I decided that sleep would make it all better. Instead, I awoke at 1:30am to none other, but vomit. The rest of the night I continued to be sick up until 4am. Sorry for elaborating on my gruesome event, but I wish to express extreme caution to any customer that dines at this specific Qdoba. I am a 110% sure that I got food poisoning from my burrito at Qdoba and will only return to receive a reimbursement. Did any other fellow customers receive food poisoning on 7/22/2014 or around that date? read more

I like this place! It's across the street from my office building so it's convenient when I need to grab a take out for lunch. Service is quick so don't be turned off if you see a long line when you come in. I always order their chicken taco salad! One of the best I've tried in my opinion. I also like that Qdoba has a nutrition calculator on their website. I am a member of the gym across the street (Energy FItness) so I just show my gym ID and I get 50% off my total order :-). read more

Good,decent, affortable Mexican Food

This is garbage and I hated the food, chips were stale, sweet tea tasted unsweet. And I could understand anyone

This place is okay if you need burrito-style food and are in this neighborhood. The style, presentation, and feel is about as inelegant as can be. This is just the most minimal degree of improvement over an inner-city McDonald's in terms of quality of the dining experience and comfort level of the seating areas. The burritos are overstuffed and very difficult to eat. My recommendation is to go with tacos or quesadillas or the nachos items on the menu. read more

The Gambrills MD location has really crappy service and the food portions are child size, and I'm not a big eater. We have eaten at this location several times and we won't be back, its worse each time we go. They must make one heck of a profit because the portions are pretty tragic for the consumer. The staff treats you like some type of inconvenience. For the prices we pay, that's getting old and we're done. They manage to put 1/2 teas of queso in 3 tacos, it's an art that they must have practiced "how do we get as little ingredients as possible in a taco", including lettuce, yes folks, lettuce, you get about 2-3 shredded pieces. And the meat...ha, it's about 3 little pieces per taco. They look like they just wave the spoon over everything. Sorry Qdoba folks, we are tired of leaving your restaurant hungry and disappointed! read more

Food is Ok at best. There was a male cook last time I went there (kitchen is visible from area where you order food at this location) he was being very loud saying profanities in Spanish. It looked like he thought he was being "funny" none of the ladies seemed bothered by it as if they are probably used to it but he repeatedly and I mean repeatedly called a lady a p...ta. and use other profane language while there were several customers in the store. read more

they rolled me a burrito that was shaped like bowling ball. they were friendly and the ball shaped wad of food was tasty. and that's all. lol read more

QDOBA Mexican Eats - Its a burrito ball - Mexican Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Great food. I love their burrito bowls and their chips and salsa. I much prefer their food to most other Mexican places in DC.

I passed this when I went for a walk. On my way back through I decided to stop in for dinner to go. I had fast, friendly service and a great meal when I got back to my hotel. I always get a taco salad without the shell and chips and queso. Very good!! read more

I had the chicken taco salad. I think the girl taking my order was new because she looked kinda lost? Anyways. The food here is okay except half of my taco shell was stale (how does that happen?) and my chicken was lukewarm. I wished they served beer like some of the other Qdobas do. There were a few flies buzzing around and I'm pretty sure the guy sitting next to us was homeless. He was eating some lemons...it made me sad and sort of guilty to be eating real food. I like Qdoba but this one sucked, and IMO Chipotle is better. read more

Felt like a bad version of chipotle grill. The tables felt dirty and cramped. The food was nothing special. The restroom smelled awful.

This chain is not thst popular in west coast like in east and midwest. So when i visited dc and saw this place i had to try it again as chipotle has taken over my taste buds but i have to say i was not disappointed and the burrito was hot and fresh with decent chicken. If you want a quick mexican grab this place wont let you down. Enjoy. read more

I enjoy the food at Qdoba, but when I came here today I was reminded of why I haven't been here in months and why I won't come back - the service is terrible! The app crashed when I was trying to scan my card and the cashier rang up my order wrong. It's not the first time I've had this problem at Qdoba, but it will be the last. There have just been too many problems using my Reward Card and getting charged the right amount. read more

Really good food! Much better quality meat then chipotle. Slightly more expensive then I would like but the portions are large so it's worth the money! Over all good fresh and fast way to eat Mexican food. read more

I'm not from DC but we were looking for a place to grab lunch after visiting the National Museum of History. I had a great experience at the Qdoba's on 11th Street. I ordered a chicken quesadilla with chips and queso and it was delicious! read more

One of the best places I know of to get food fast. And I mean fast. These folks have the burrito assembly line down to an art. They're good, too. read more

This Qdoba was my best qdoba experience yet! The staff was super friendly and they always went the extra mile. When I asked for a foil to go, they gave me a foil and a bag. When I asked for a kids meal even if I am way outside the age limit, they happily said yes. I love kids meals since most restaurants in America serve way too much food. When a restaurant looks beyond the amount of money they would make on a kids meal vs. regular meal and serves me a kids meal anyway, I always walk away satisified. Great experience and a great quick place to stop and grab food in the city!! read more

If you like Moe's, Free Birds or chipotle then you definitely will like this place I wanted to give it a five but my husband wanted to give it a three, just because he say the food is blend but then again he loves spicy and salty food. read more

Maybe not the first place you would think for breakfast but it is fast and good! The burritos are the specialty but true quesadilla is great too. read more

Typical mex fast food place where you can create your own burrito, taco... Good overall, nothing special.

I recall eating here on a Saturday while it was pouring out with 2 of my friends (the weather sort of ruined our walking tour of DC). However, we all ordered chicken mango tacos for lunch and they were all yummy. Service was efficient as well. There's plenty of indoor space to sit and relax. read more

We were looking for a quick bite to eat out of the heat. This fit the bill. Yummy quesadilla.

Provides a decent alternative when Chipotle is too crowded. I would say the flavors here are more purely "Mexican" as opposed to the the "Tex-Mex" flavors you'd get at Chipotle. The ingredients are decent, but I find they tend to skimp on the salsas (small scoops). read more
