    This is the food I received from Qdoba today! The lid was open and the food was all over the package. I ordered through grubhub and they refused to refund me. This is not the first time my order from Qdoba has issues.

    The fixins' line.

    Been hearing people swear about this place for years. Being a lifelong Mexican enthusiast, I'm never all that inclined to do anything that remotely whiffs of "fast food" or fast casual "Tex-Mexy" kinda places. I make my own authentic Mex and nothing can top that. Plus, I'd already gotten the word that it was a Chipotle knockoff. This place only serves flour shells or hard-shelled corn tortillas, for example....which evidences my point about authenticity. I wanted to try a few tacos but not eating a shell of "Doritos", even though I like Doritos - just not on my taco. That said, this place is completely reminiscent of Chipotle as mentioned, only plus what appears to be fresher ingredients and minus repeated health code violations. The "bowl" here is even called a "Burrito Bowl", just like Chipotle and it's even referred to by the same name. You'd think that kind of thing would be trademarked or something. Qdoba started two years after Chipotle so they definitely [apparently] copied the formula. Similarly, the Burrito Bowl starts with a base of seasoned rice and you have them add the toppings of your choice as your bowl makes its way down the line to the cashier. No designation OR SIGN as to where to order as you snake around towards the register, btw. I ended up bypassing the order area and stopping at the cashier area....where I ended up waiting just long enough for a lady to come behind me - and start placing her LONG ASS order. I slid back to the "order area" muttering aloud that I overshot the target and welp....she kept ordering with nary a concern that I "technically" was ahead of her - even though she asked me what happened lol.*eye roll* It wouldn't kill them to post an ORDER HERE sign. Jeez. My bowl had the following: Rice, chicken/steak/50/50, fajita vegetables, corn, pico de gallo, guac, lettuce, shredded cheese, habanero salsa and jalapeno.... $9 and tax - generous portion size. Very simple, clean food.... especially good if you have certain food allergies or an aversion to greasy fast foods. I'll go back. I like them.

    Fast Food, Mexican Food I have never been here before and decided to try it. The resteraunt itself we found to be dirty with the kitchen ate to be clean. I got The Pulled Pork "Two Timer" Taco with a side of Pinto Beans. Both were tasty but the taco was very messy and fell apart after the first bite as the Shell got very soggy as they are packing so much into a taco shell. My wife got the Taco Salad which she stated was very good. She also got a side of the tortilla soup which was just ok. The one issue I did have is that on the menu board, the writing of what's on each item is so small and far from where you order that I had a very difficult time reading it. All in all the food is mediocre but we will return and try it again.

    Steak Burrito Bowl (extra white rice, pinto beans, steak, lettuce, pico de gallo, corn, guacamole.) *FYI - 15% of the guac got stuck on lid.

    Pros: *Ordered 'Steak Burrito Bowl' (extra white rice, pinto beans, steak, lettuce, pico de gallo, corn, guacamole). Food was fresh + filling. *Large varied menu w/ 18 toppings + 7 proteins - breakfast options too! *Premium toppings like guacamole and queso are free (unlike competitors). Cons: *Flavors are very one-dimensional. Ingredients are fresh, but they lack any notable seasoning/cooking techniques - which prevents flavor from popping. *Small scooper w/ trigger release is used for guac - helps w/ restaurant portion control, but zaps ordering experience for customer. *So many toppings, but no clear labels/allergy info on the food line. Hard to ask questions w/o holding up the line - so ordering can get overwhelming. Overall: Reliable spot if you are looking are quick + healthy meal. Food quality is good, but taste is average + lacks memorable flavors. I would consider returning to try some of their new products (brisket, Cholula chicken, etc.), but likely would not go out of my way to return.

    I have to this location a few times, i love QDOBA's nachos and quesadillas! Sometimes i also get the bowl! The good- -location is convenient -every time I've been there the line is typically less than 5-6 people, so no long wait for food -tastes fresh, delicious food -free guac!!! -customer service is great The bad- Not really anything bad to say about this place, i do prefer chipotle because it has a little bit more flavor but overall their food is tasty as well!!

    Steak Fajita Quesadilla
    Chrisotpher L.

    This was my first ever visit to a QDOBA and I was pleasantly impressed at the quality and taste of my quesadilla. The steak, peppers, onions, black beans, and cheese were fresh! The guacamole was also good. The restaurant has indoor dinning and the bathrooms were clean. Its very similar to chipotle in taste and price and its almost al carte for a drink and chips and salsa which gets expensive. Overall it was pretty good!

    The ingredients are always fresh. I love the food the service and prices are great. The location is also convenient and easy to access. There are COVID-19 protocols in place to keep people safe. I like to take my food to go because I am still not comfortable sitting and dining in at any restaurant no matter the size.

    Really understand why this place is so popular! Came here with some friends and had a lovely…read moreexperience. We were sat right away and I was surprised at how big the restaurant is (way bigger than it looks from the outside!). I started with a hibiscus margarita, which was delicious. Then we ordered a few things to split, including: guac and tostadas, charred cabbage, gorditas with chorizo, aguachile negro, and the beef short rib platter. The charred cabbage was the biggest sleeper hit. It was so flavorful and unlike anything I've ever had before. Everything else was delicious, although the aguachile was probably my least favorite of what we tried. We finished with the rose water tres leches and the dulce de leche crepes. The tres leches were pretty good but the crepes were amazing. I don't usually love dulce de leche, but it was definitely a standout.

    Overall, I had a positive experience dining at Cielo Rojo. The restaurant has a very inviting…read morespace, and it appears to be very kid-friendly. If you are planning to visit during popular dining hours, it might be worth it to make a reservation. We arrived during a weekend around 5:30 pm, and the place was somewhat empty. However, by 6-6:15 pm, the place was PACKED. I was a very surprised (in a good way) that the menu was a bit smaller compared to other Mexican/Tex-Mex restaurants in the area. I necessarily do not think the smaller menu is a bad thing because, with a smaller menu, a restaurant can focus on preparing everything well (i.e., it's easier to do a good job with 20-item menu versus a 50+-item menu). For my dining pleasure, I went with the enchiladas suizas with a few margaritas. Overall, I thought my plate was very delicious; however, other diners at my table and I noticed that the portion sizes were a bit small for the price. Perhaps, the restaurant uses higher quality ingredients for its dishes. Although the margarita sizes might appear to be small, they definitely are not "small" in power/punch, so the $13-$18 price range is appropriate. My favorite margarita of the night definitely was the El Jardinero, which was a wonderful mix of carrot, cilantro, peach, lime and a semi-spicy pepper of sorts. Collectively, we all thought the service was exceptional because our waitress constantly visited the table. Personally, I thought it was a bit overkill, but that's a very, very minor complaint based on my very, very personal preference.

I think they adjusted their lighting a little bit -- it was quite dim, and from the outside it looked pitch black. My friend made a reservation for 10 (only 6 showed), but it was fine and I feel like I always sit at the exact same table haha. The staff were very kind and asked if the first to arrive wanted to wait for others, and yes... yes we did. Once everyone arrived we dove right in and everyone enjoyed everything. We had every type of sangria and some of the highlighted foods were the mejillones, platanos, empanadas, pancakes -- on wait, let me speak on the pancakes for a second. A few times when I previously came they weren't sweet potato. I forget what the reason was, but while they and the syrup were still fantastic, I really missed the sweet potato element. But that's back now, and all is right with the world YAY! The eggs benedicts, patatas bravas, datiles, French toast, and huevos rancheros were highlights too. I think it's new, but they have a note that indicates there will be a charge for excess leftover food. I wonder when they added that?? We did an excellent job of eating literally everything, and everyone was satisfied at the end. The staff did an excellent job of checking in on us, gave us plenty of time for last call, and were so diligent. Mind you it wasn't crowded... but listen, it needs to be. I believe even the owner came by asking how everything was, and wished us well on our way out. It's been around a long time... if you haven't been to La Malinche yet, do yourself a favor and go. They have happy hour on weekdays, but the bottomless brunch... it's $41/pp now. Higher than ever, but still the best deal around.

I ordered their breakfast burrito with barbacoa since the original doesn't come with meat. It came out to pretty much 20 bucks. That price is steeeeep in my books! The burrito was done pretty quickly and came with salsa. When I got home I couldn't wait to dive in and I must say the burrito was good for the DMV but didn't quite hit the mark overall for me. It felt very mushy in texture overall. The salsa lacked spice. And I do wish there were potatoes inside. Not sure I'll be back anytime soon for another high priced breakfast burrito but will still give recommend because I feel like a lot of it is my personal preference.

The ranchera sauce s is tasted suspiciously like ole El Paso enchilada sauce from tin. A miss for me on its own, passable if you add the hot sauce. Chicken tacos: "good". Not great. Tortillas not warmed up properly. That hot sauce they give you comes in super useful just to get some flavor because on its own it just isn't doing much. He ate them all but that was hunger more than enjoyment. Again a miss without the sauce. Mango and strawberry mojito: actually good! Nice flavor, not too much sugary mix. A hit! Something to note: They have this roving band of musicians that go around to tables and play music. Instruments and all.
