    Burrito bowl
    Gabriella C.

    I appreciate how Qdoba prepares fresh ingredients and flavorful spices, however the location on Frederick Rd is somewhat difficult to arrive to if you're coming from North of Rockville. You would have to make a left at the intersection of Frederick and Shady Grove Rd then another U turn to pass by the Checkers. This location is very spacious and clean, utensils and napkins always stocked, and there's always an employee greeting you once you come to the food counter. I've been here multiple times to enjoy their filling burrito bowls (without the tortilla) & they are pretty generous with the portion sizes.. I definitely was stuffed!

    Qdoba never fails when food. Clear menu, good taste, proper volume on music, clean tables and very attentive and friendly staff. Highly recommended if you are in the area and want something good, fast and full of flavor. They also have catering and as a bonus, they set up everything at your event(s), yes, I read that inside the location as an ad flier. Right now they have a new item on the menu called "Mexican Street Corn" a must try thing. You won't regret, I promise you. Sad this trip they didn't have red salsa (Tapatio) glass bottles*. Next time they might.

    I ordered Chicken Adobo Nachos. I ordered it through Doordash. The food was good. I anticipated the sauces on the side but were added. The food was still great. Just know sauces are added.

    I haven't eaten Qdoba in years and I cannot believe I'm saying this but it's so much better than Chipotle. Even their rewards program is tremendously much more generous. I like Chipotle too, it's closer to my house and I feel like there's many more locations but a nice meal at Qdoba can really top off those Mexican food cravings! This is probably one of the best locations in Montgomery County. The employees are friendly, the restaurant is clean and the food itself is always fresh. For those who never had Qdoba, It's a similar line-up to Chipotle where you place your order and line up against the rows of ingredients available to your choosing. For me, I generally go with a chicken burrito bowl and black beans. From there on, it's really up to your liking of what you put into your bowl but honestly there's nothing there that I dislike. I also ordered a side of chips with salsa, guacomole and queso. I'm not a huge queso fan, but it was pretty darn good. Reminded me of cheese nachos that you get from the movies! A complaint I do have though is that their chips are a bit lighter and much more fragile. I feel like whenever I eat them, they just break as I'm dipping them into whatever side I'm eating them with. Otherwise, it's a great balance of salt and crunch together. When I was in college, I would used their Student ID discount almost weekly just because it was a great deal for a meal and so convenient to my apartment at the time. For those not in school, there's an app-rewards program that lets you accumulate points for free meals, sides or drinks. I went with my sister and her fiance' on Monday around 9:20 PM and it was pretty dead inside. Although it was close to closing and it was a weekday, I would have expected more diners coming in. The interior of the restaurant is clean, but just a few of the tables were a bit dirty. It was also a bit dimly lit but they do have televisions surrounding the establishment so it's nice to watch something while you eat. Overall, I would definitely return when I'm in the area.

    Between the face masks and the screens they've installed over their bars, it's kind of hard to hear or to be heard when placing your oder. But as for the food... I was pretty surprised by the taste of the steak quesadillas and the ground beef bowl. I dont recall the last time I had Qdoba but would definitely consider lunch here again!

    Yummy

    As a regular of this place, I can vouch for it being an excellent place for bowls, burritos, tacos, and quesadillas--amiable staff, great-tasting food, and all at a fair price--also a big fan of their wide selection of fresh ingredients **I haven't been here in a while, I need to come back, this was from my past experience**

    Qdoba is one of my favorite places to eat when I am craving Mexican food ( they have seating inside and outside). I love that the guacamole is free with your meal!!! The food is always fresh and don't get me started with the mild queso sauce, sooooo GOOD. They have taco Tuesday every Tuesday for MC/MCPS students ( as long as you have your school ID) , you get whatever you order for $5 (burrito or bowl comes with drink) I always get tortilla in a bowl with chicken , white rice , black beans , tomatoes, corn , extra lettuce, sour cream , queso and guac on the side (describing it alone has gotten me craving some lol) My only issue with them is there customer service. I visit regularly and NEVER get a warm welcoming or greeting ( sometimes there is a language barrier and that gets frustrating at times) ( the women would speak in Spanish right in my face without uttering a word to me) , which has caused me not to go or i'll go to the location on Tech Rd ; The workers are always really nice there !

    I got the taco bowls. This is another version of chipotle Tex-mex ! The foods was great for the price's & very spacious inside but the parking lot is a little crowded!

    In the past, I was the biggest fan of Chipotle and absolutely hated Qdoba. Thankfully my taste palette expanded and now I am Qdoba's #1 fan and everything at Chipotle tastes like nothing to me. As good as the food at Qdoba is, this is the only location I'd ever go to to get anything from. I've tried the location at CP and their location in Woodbridge; both of them had stale rice and old food that left me with an upset stomach. Qdoba has so many toppings, enough to satisfy every flavor profile. I like things on the spicy side so my go-to order is a burrito bowl with the tortilla inside, brown side, chicken [but if I'm feeling bougie, I'll get steak], black beans, a few pieces of fajita peppers, diablo queso, habanero salsa, shredded cheese, lettuce, chopped onion and chopped fresh jalapenos. I'll also ask them to top it off with salsa verde and sour cream. Although they don't charge extra for guac, I've noticed that their guac has too much lime juice for my liking so I always skip it. On Tuesday, they have student ID specials but since I am not a student anymore, I just pay through the app that lets me collect points and redeem them for food later. There is a language barrier sometimes with most employees which I don't mind at all because even so, they don't mess up your order but I do notice that everyone is a little frazzled during lunch time. They are trying to get the line to move fast but only then do they mess up people's orders because they don't listen and start adding stuff to your meal before you can get a word in BUT anytime I've seen that happen, they almost immediately re-make their food for them.

    Qdoba is such a tasty place to eat! Similar to Chipotle, which is a fast casual restaurant. However, to me, Qdoba is a lot better than Chipotle. The flavors are so refreshing and there is a wide variety in vegetables and textures regarding what you can add in your bowl or burrito. The queso is also exquisite. Please come and try! I love this place more than Chipotle.

    Sooo good!  I started eating before I took a pic, but trust me, it was flavorful, and just right!

    After the horrible service at the Silver Spring QDOBA where they cheat you out of your serving size and only favor Latin customers, I was pleasantly surprised to see that this QDOBA in Rockville does the complete opposite. The serving size was generous, they gave you the right amount of meat without having to ask for a second serving and they were very friendly. The food here also tasted better than other Qdoba's. It tasted fresher and had more flavor than the other locations. I loved that we can sit inside or outside. Overall a great place to eat. The fact that they're generous with the chicken and steak servings along makes me want to give it 5 stars. Keep up the great work! I will definitely be making this my primary QDOBA from now on out!

I ordered carryout, including a pulled chicken Gordita, a pulled goat meat Gordita for the same amount, some chicken tacos (soft flour shell with white meat grilled, chopped chicken topped with very little), and the Tacos Dorados (fried tacos stuffed with shredded chicken and topped with green salsa and cheese). Pictures are from when I got home with my food. Needless to say, for $32 or so (which includes a 20% tip), I had enough food for 3 meals. The Gorditas, while not necessarily healthy, definitely fill you up. The Tacos Dorados were very good for a late night, post drinking (water, of course!), dinner, and the chicken tacos were excellent for a next-day lunch. Accompanying my food were two different sauces -- a red sauce that did not have much flavor, but was scorching hot on the palette and a green sauce that was very tasty and moderate in heat. Overall, an outstanding choice for authentic Mexican food that was very, very good.

We ordered several plates, which arrived rather quickly. The homemade hummus with the carrots and pickled onions was fantastic. We'd take creamy and delicious hummus like that any day. The deviled eggs were wonderful and came with an extra kick thanks to the jalapeno. Gnocchi with parmesan, carrots, and asparagus was creamy, comforting, and filling. The lamb over hummus, with their rich homemade gravy, rivaled any amazing lamb dish I had anywhere. The portions were phenomenal. I have been to places that give half as much with the same prices. The chef and kitchen staff are incredible. We'll definitely return to try new dishes but we hope the service is much improved.
