Qdoba is 10 million times better than Chipotle, they’re not even in the same league. Chipotle lacks flavor and uses bland ingredients. Baja Fresh is great, too, but nothing beats a Qdoba chicken queso burrito…

Qdoba is my absolute favorite quick mex place. The queso burritos (or the queso- anything) are amazing!!! The flavor and atmosphere is worlds ahead of Chipotle. I just moved from Philly, where they are sprouting up everywhere, and have been looking for one in the city ever since! I highly recommend!!

Qdoba is great. Better than Chipotle beacuse the menus is more extensive (burritos, awesome nachos, quesadillas etc) and the ones in Jersey (Short Hills anyway) are always hot, fresh and about $8. I am very happy to hear this news…its about time they came to NYC.

Cilantro haters: sorry you got a bum genetic deal and all you taste is soap, but to normal people it’s effing awesome.

Qdoba and Chipotle are pretty much the same flavorwise, although Chipotle touts, rightfully, its hormone and antibiotic free meats and dairy, amongst other environmentally nice things that Qdoba doesn’t. Baja Fresh is also equally good flavorwise, but has a lot more choice (grilled shrimp, fried to order fish tacos, etc) than the other two. Costwise there all the same, you’re not leaving till you spend $8.

Okay, I think Qdoba is 50,000 times better than Chipotle… Granted, I have only had Chipotle once, at the over-worked branch near Rock Center, so maybe I should give it another try. But I can totally work with Qdoba. Unforunately, I don’t work on the east side–though there is another one near my apt., on 34th St. between I think 2nd and 3rd?

I wish it was as good as Baha Fresh, but it isn’t. I don’t think it is better than Chipotle either, and thats a statement unto itself.

I’ve tried several locations of Qdoba and its always kind blah.
