Go several times a month and order the pulled pork, white rice and pinto beans bowl. Pork is seasoned well and the white rice is seasoned well with cilantro. A plus is the guacamole is included as a topping with no extra charge. We are always greeted as we enter, staff is always friendly. read more

First time in this restaurant, the staff were very friendly as I navigated the walk through order line. I ordered a chicken bowl with brown rice and lots of toppings. My favriote part was the mango salsa, something I havent seen anywhere else. The enviroment was very clean and put together, while I didnt stay and eat, it was a very warming place to grab a quick bite to eat. read more

It was my first time dining in a Qdoba (previously I had only done delivery or catering) and I am glad I went to the Gandy store. We did not come with the intention of eating in the restaurant, but the restaurant was clean and well-kept with lots of seating options, which convinced us to stay. This location has friendly staff that served healthy portions. Rebecca made it a point to ask how we were enjoying everything after we had sat down, and checked in on us to see if we needed any lids or a bag when we had finished up. We will be visiting again soon! read more

Very nice employees. Insanely salty chicken tacos. The drink machine was disgusting and out of many of the drinks. The napkins are kept hidden behind the counter where you pay which is weird. No utensils by the drinks either. This was my first and last time in this store. read more

Clean and fast service and friendly staff. Had a chicken taco salad in a crispy shells and it was outstanding. The shell as crispy throughout and all my topics tasted fresh. Plenty is parking. If I lived in the area, I would be a regular customer at this location. read more

We were looking for something to eat and came across Qdoba. My wife is a Chipotle fan while I am eh about Chipotle but we thought let's try it out. I had the Brisket and my wife had the chicken bowls and I vote Qdoba as my favorite hands down versus Chipotle. They flavors were better, I think the portion was larger and being able to get the guac "free" and self serve drinks makes this my go to place when in the area. There are none near my house but we go to almost all Lightning games and this is on the route so we will be back many times. read more

Fast fresh mexican food, better value than Chipotle if you get guacamole since they don't charge for this. Great experience with getting take out during dinner time on a weekday. We got a Burrito bowl with beef brisket and also a steak quesadilla, both huge portions and great tasting. read more

QDOBA Mexican Eats - Steak Quesadilla - Mexican Near Me - Tampa, Florida

See all

I'm not a Chipotle person, I'm a Qdoba person! Now, I realize this is no Red Mesa or Miguel's but for a quick-serve "Mexican" cuisine restaurant, it does the trick. I am a regular and get treated very well by the staff. I like that I see the same people there all of the time and they pretty much know what I want. The food tastes fresh but I always order the same thing so I cannot speak to all of their menu items. I always do the pulled pork quesadilla with verde salsa on the side but every time I order it, it satisfies. Sometimes I'll get the chips and queso if I'm feeling particularly gluttonous and the chips are so yummy- warm, crisp, salty with a hint of lime and I've never met a queso I didn't like. They have a Coke Freestyle which always wins points with me and my personal favorite thing- a customer loyalty program! You download the app and get points for everything you order there and as your points add up, you can redeem them for random menu items or save up for a full meal. They have special days where you get double points and some holidays they will do a BOGO meal. My favorite is Valentine's Day where you come in with your partner and share a kiss for a BOGO. Parking is almost always available and prices are decent but I feel could go down about $1 per entrée. read more

This location used to be on top of their business. The last month has been abysmal. Just order on umber eats. No salsa, so guacamole or pico that was ordered. No plastic ware or napkins. Seems to be a trend. Just avoid this location and get chipotle across the street. read more

I'm not at all impressed with the service here. Not sure why the attitudes are so poor, I do have a strong Feeling that it has to do with the manager. She seems to have a poor attitude every time I go there to get my guacamole. I think I will have to go somewhere else for my cravings! read more

I love Qdoba and this location is great! The food is always fresh and delicious, the service is great, and the place it kept clean. I stick with the chicken protein bowl that comes with romaine lettuce, pico de gallo, and guacamole. The only thing that makes this location less desirable is parking, but that isn't Qdoba's fault. read more

Qdoba is my go-to spot for lunch when I'm looking for a hot, satisfying, quick lunch. I was so thrilled when they opened this location in near me as I was a fan of theirs when I was going to grad school in Bloomington. If you are familiar with Chipotle, know that it's very similar to that. You can customize a burrito or taco with a variety of proteins, beans and toppings. I do really prefer the flavor of the Qdoba Chicken. Plus, Qdoba is great with with coupons & specials - something the other chain hardly ever has. You can choose your entree sans the tortilla and ask for it "Naked." I usually go with a chicken burrito, my daughter prefers the steak quesadilla. They are very generous with the toppings and let me get two or three of the salsas if I want. The guacamole is delicious, and they make it fresh daily in the store. Staff is always pleasant and quick - I've never had an issue. The rewards card is a nice feature - I often get coupons in email for free chips and the occasional buy one get one burrito. The free burritos add up quickly. Yum! read more

I can't decide if I'm relieved that there's a decent burrito place by me, or if I'm sad that the best Mexican food I've had in south Tampa is from a chain restaurant. I will complain momentarily that the person who rolled the burritos for us didn't do a great job, so they fell apart while we were eating. It is annoying to have all the juices on my hands and dripping into the tray, and an experienced burrito-maker would know how to keep my hands dry. But otherwise, I felt that the food was well-seasoned and fresh. Burritos are wrapped on the spot, so it's super fast to come here too. The location is a little funky, but lucky for us, it's on a corner that is easy for us based on where we live. I think people coming from other directions probably have to do a U turn or two to get in or out of the parking lot. read more

Why the hell would anyone vegan vegetarian visit a joint where if you do not choose a protein which is included in price and instead choose grill vege they charge you $2 more. WTF moment. I refuse to indulge and ask for a refund when my qeusadilla with vege cost.more than the chicken or steak. Manager was good enough to oblige and charge the actual price withe This kind of joint will.never last long. I am hesitant now to ever visit Qdoba read more

Ordered from the lady with short hair. She was very short with me and her workers. They looked as scared as I was. Not coming back.

Been a regular (weekly) customer here for over two years!! We love the food and the people. We look forward to going here knowing we will be treated great and have our meals prepared just the way we like! Shout out to Bethany, Woodley, Peanut, Jessica, Ty and Rebecca! Always smiling and treating us right! read more

Easy and quick take out when you don't feel like cooking and are craving some Mexican. I've ordered the veggie quesadilla and some steak tacos before and they are pretty tasty! I have to say that I was disappointed with seeing every team member wearing their face masks incorrectly. Seriously, just pull the mask up so it covers your nose! Not that hard. read more

The #1 rule for any retail establishment is to actually be open during their posted hours. Tonight I stopped here for food at 8:45 p.m. and was told that they were no longer serving. When I asked what time they close, I was told 9:00 p.m. I asked what time it was and they said, "8:50," which was a lie (it was only 8:45). When I asked them why they weren't serving, I was told, "We ran out of food," which was another lie (they were clearly in the process of putting away the food and cleaning up, so they could leave early). To the owner of this franchise: you need to kick some serious butt on your night manager! I'll never go there again (and I've been going there for years). read more

I pulled up to this place and literally thought it was closed (5pm on a Sunday). After further investigation I saw movement inside and went in to investigate... I think I might have hit Qdoba towards the end of the day. I think the guac is supposed to be a different color which is why I didn't request any. The burrito I ordered "naked" and that means the same as a bowl in Qdoba-ese. I'm pretty sure that the naked burrito here offers you less food than the burrito bowl @ Chipotle, but it was still quite good. The amount of chips you get at Qdoba is a lot. They fill up a whole bowl for you. The chips were very fresh and this was late in the day. That's not always the case as I've found at most burrito places. Yes, I might go back to this Qdoba to eat again, but not for a long time. The location of this place is a prime location, but due to the intersection it is difficult to navigate into the place. read more

I hate giving this kind of review since my hubby and I have been here more than once and really enjoy the food. However, that is the ONLY reason we have returned. We have yet to have a pleasant or happy employee here. For some reason, every one seems to be on their last nerve, with the intimation that you might be the one to push them to snap. Tonight was my final point of contention. Our server barely acknowledged us, and slammed our food around like we were an irritant to her. My husband and I both are happy people and tonight was no exception. There is never a reason to treat someone as an annoyance. I work in the customer service field- and this is a constant issue at this Qdoba. read more

Used to go biweekly.. Lately its not been the same.. I used to get the hookups and the special treatment... They do give military discounts -- I think free drinks.. Seems like someone is trying to bad mouth them.. Get the naked burrito.. That being said -- the up charges are silly.. no chips... sort of sucks.. read more

Let's just say they better hope health inspection doesn't come in for a flavorless taco. Entire place reminded me of a bathroom at an NFL game. read more

Customer service sucked! Another customer asked for an exchange and got a dirty look. America is FAT because restaurant policies like these!!! Free rice, but they charge for veggies!!! No military discount. When I asked, it was like I cursed about their mom. Chipotle is much better. The service was mediocre. I was disappointed. Won't be back. Chipotle it is. read more

Their food is good 8/10... Customer service is usually pretty good too. Staff treated you in a relatable manner and doesn't seem to give off fake kindness vibes, instead kind vibes and relatable. Food is good for what's offered, portion sizes should be a bit larger for my preference and their prices. Anyways, I will come visit again. read more

So the food is pretty much standard across the board since this is a chain, and it works when I have a Qdoba/Moes/Chipotle craving. However, this location in particular bothers me because of an employee (the manager it seems) who is occasionally on the burrito line. I *always* feel rushed whenever ingredients are being added to my burrito...with every mention of an addition, it is immediately "is that it???" with her hands motioning towards wrapping the burrito up. Please. Slow. Down. Treat me like a customer and not as just another transaction coming through the (empty) line. read more

Most chain restaurants are unpredictable with service and quality consistency, however this QDOBA always has the nicest service and consistent food quality! A great value for your money. Today, Jenn, Jazz, and Mia served me up with a pick two. Chose tortilla soup (yum!) with pork quesadillas. Not your typical thin, sparse quesadilla, but loaded and grilled crispy. Great meal from great people. Always a great experience! Thanks QDOBA! read more

We had the burrito bowl. They were fresh and delicious. The service was super and the restaurant was very clean. We were down from Tallahassee for a Rays game. I miss you being in Tallahassee. read more

This place is on my list of quick and delicious stops. Even though it's a Mexican place you can get a healthly meal by going with the Naked Taco Salad. No need for the tortilla and their mild salsa is fresh and tasty. The prices are pretty comprable to other quick burrito stands and they've always been fast and friendly when I visit. read more

Please go to Qdoba!! They are so so nice. There food is so much better and fresher than chipotle!! By far. More choices of sauces and etc. The staff are so courteous. They care. And the people who work there have been there quite a while. So that tells you something right there. Bethany, Woodly,Jessica , and Peanut are really nice and fun when you go in. Please support these people. read more

So I must admit that I have not eaten at a Qdoba since my days in college when I lived in Tallahassee. And in comparison to the other tex mex places, I did not think it was very good in comparison. In fact prior to this visit, I would have told you it was disgusting. I was motivated to revisit Qdoba because of their holiday promotion. In exchange for a $10 toy for their Toys for Tots donation drive, I received a free entrée. I was very undecided on what to choose because they have several options in which to choose including burritos, tacos, bowls and salads. They also have something unique, its called Mexican gumbo. I was unsure what it was so one of the staff members allowed me to taste a sample. It's a mix between a rice bowl and the tortilla soup with the meat of your choice. It was a bit spicy but I liked it. It was a little chilly the night of my visit so this warm soupy bowl was perfect. I added a little sour cream to cool the heat a bit and it was delicious. This visit may have ... no it did change my opinion about this food chain. I am glad I read the tips and tried this entrée. Plus I love an establishment that cares about giving back. If you haven't try the Mexican gumbo next time you visit. read more

For casual Mexican cuisine, Qdoba is a solid choice. Their tortilla soup is HUGE and I appreciate they have a "pick two" menu similar to that of Panera. They do have queso (which is my biggest gripe with Chipotle), but do charge for chips and salsa (unlike competitor Moe's Southwest Grill). They do not charge for guacamole which is a huge plus if you like guac! read more

Located on the corner of Gandy Boulevard and South Dale Mabry Highway, you'll find Qdoba. A Mexican restaurant that actually offers queso, unlike other nearby Mexican restaurants. They offer "mild" queso (it still has a kick to it though) and "hot" queso...they're not playing around boys and girls! ~update: that location does serve queso now and it's basically rubberrrrr. Anyways, I like coming here every once in a while. The chips are my favorite part: salty as the sea read more

Great place, tasty food and management/staff always friendly. . . Love the queso, burrito, tortilla soups, the mango salsa worth every bite!! read more

Made an online order. Completely screwed it up. Brushed off my complaint when i called. Ill be going to chipotle across the street from now on. Sad part is you guys have better food than them. read more

When I used to reside off of Westshore Blvd, the hubs and I would find ourselves at this Qdoba location at least twice a week ( especially after they added whole wheat tortillas ). Now they have added brown rice, and there's nothing that comes close to their BBQ burrito, with their hot sauce and guacamole. Plus, the staff's super nice and they truly do honor all Facebook and some of the other location coupons. Even though I live 30 minutes away and there's a location only 15 min from me, I still go through grueling Dale Mabry traffic to make it to this one when I have a craving. read more

Very bad experience here. Wouldn't take my order over the phone. When I arrived, staff was disorganized and rude ... the person who seemed to be leading the charge was also rude (customer services starts at the top!). If you're in the mood for fast-ish mexican, go to Chipotle! Service is better, prices are lower. read more

A good casual spot for food when you want a quick bite to eat. I went last night with my wife and we got two entrees, two drinks, queso & chips for $22. The staff was friendly and overall it was a good experience. I do appreciate that they do not charge for guacamole! Qdoba ranks above Chipotle in my books because they have queos. The dining room is hit or miss for cleanliness, but I don't totally fault the staff because families with small children often come in and destroy it... read more

Wanted to try something new and This place sucks. Complete rip off of chipotle (which is about 100 times better). No flavor, black beans were dried out, fajita veggies had a strange flavor. Only decent thing here was chips and queso, which was $4! I won't be back. Stick with Chipotle! read more

I think they are great. I went for my first time and I got a pretty decent size burrito bowl for $8. The guac was free and they have many options for toppings in comparison to Chipotle. The girl helping us was very sweet and explained everything to us and how to order. Definitely a good place to stop by :) read more

Their food is my least favorite out if the the 3 big chains. No flavor, no spices, and everything that actually has flavor is " a little extra." I'd rather take an extra 5 minutes and go to Moe's. The only good news is it's usually not busy, so I must not be the only one that feels this way. read more
