At Lunch Now: Qdoba on 53rd St. is Open
The Qdoba on 53rd St. & 3rd Ave. opened for business yesterday. Chipotle, you were forewarned. Let the McBurrito wars begin!
There are two other Qdobas in New York City (one on 34th btw. 2+3rd), but according to the NY Sun the new one is the first to actually be owned by the parent company (the other two are franchises). Full report coming soon…

Went today. I had to see what all the fuss was about. I had the 3 queso chicken burrito. It tastes like another chipotle but with different sauce. It’s really not that special. Although I will say that the line did move fast although it was insanely crowded.

I went yesterday and had the chicken taco salad. The chicken wasn’t as good as Chipotle and the salsa leaves much to be desired. It may be fresh, but I don’t see myself taking the trip from 5th Avenue to 3rd Avenue again.

Qdoba doesn’t cut it. Chipotle is ok but it’s still “corporate Mexican food”. BTW, the best corporate Mexican Food is the Green Cactus in Long Island.

Though I’m tempted to bash qdoba to keep the line down … it is vastly superior to chipotle. qdoba’s ingredients are fresh and tasty; chipotle’s seem watery and bland.
Chipotle doesnt need to be scared. Qdoba isnt as good by a long shot.
