when I walked up to the counter, I asked the gentleman if it was hot and he says we have hot and mild. He was really helpful. I believe his name was Brandon and Elizabeth was working there also and the manager her name was Asha and they couldn't have been any nicer and I will when I come back to this airport I will always go to them. They were just amazing people. read more

Consistency is king! I've eaten here at least 10 times at the airport and every time the quality and service a great for a fast solid meal. I recommend this Qdoba over almost all dining options at TPA. read more

1 star for this Qdoba location. Don't get me wrong, I'm always down for some Qdoba! But this location in the Tampa Airport just sucks. Firstly, you can't even use your Qdoba mobile rewards app at this location, but the cashier told me he will give me a receipt so I can manually add the points, he never even put it in my bag. Then, I try to enjoy my bowl - awful. The vegetables (peppers) aren't even cut at all, and are super tough - it's like they went to the store, cut a bell pepper in half, made it hard somehow, then just threw it in my bowl. The rest of the ingredients also did not taste fresh at all, it was like a bowl of unfresh slop. I get the same bowl order at every other Qdoba, and this was the only location where it was bad at. Definitely do not eat at the Tampa airport Qdoba location. read more

Once upon a time I was a wee lad when I had my first taste of qdoba. Loved it but somehow that was my first and last experience for ten years. Fast forward to present day the food is just as good if not better than I remembered. The meats are well cooked and seasoned and the ingredients all taste very fresh. You'd also be surprised to find that they.... Drum roll!! Include guac for free on entree bowls. Yes you heard me FREE GUAC. I'd consider this one of the better options food wise in the airport. read more

QDOBA Mexican Eats - Steak/birria bowl - Fast Food Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Stopped by before my flight to get dinner. Service was great and quick! I ordered a the nachos. I picked the brisket birria for my protein. I also picked the cilantro lime rice, 3 cheese queso, guacamole, pickled onions, shredded cheese, sour cream, and pico de gallo. This was very good! They let me sample the brisket birria because I had never had it and questioned if it was spicy (heat). It was delicious and perfectly seasoned. Not spicy! I did forget to take a picture unfortunately. read more

The service was quick which is great since it's located inside the airport. The prices are very reasonable. I paid 12.92 total for my bowl with adobo chicken. Guacamole and queso are no extra charge. There is plenty of seating since it's in the airport food court. The food was great for being a quick, "fast food" option. Also isn't the spicy queso isn't spicy but still taste really good. read more

Jam is the best! Great staff! Food was also incredible on top of the service. We'll definitely be coming back very soon.

I decided to order after work on 6/6/26 at 12:11pm. The rice was extremely salty it was unbearable. I order at the airport a lot and this is the first time I've ever experienced this. Very unfortunate. read more

Let me start off by saying this is the best QDOBA I have ever eaten at. The food was prepared specific to order and made in a timely manner. The staff was awsome. Fara and Isha took great care of me and also shard a laugh or two. This QDOBA is a 10/10 will recommended. read more

Honestly I should be going to a Qdoba more often. This place is way better than the other Mexican place that does Mexican bowel. They were generous with the rice and the protein and this place doesn't charge extra for guacamole it's already in included. The services was really good and we ate at the airport since we had a red eye flight. The place and the tables were super cleans. read more

QDOBA Mexican Eats - This was delicious - Fast Food Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Good service. Fast, efficient, clean, and friendly. Around the corner behind the space, there's more seating that is spacious, quiet and bright. Ez place if you want a quick bite on the way in or out of Tampa. read more

I immediately felt welcomed and was greeted. Reidy F. was kind and courteous. The food was great. I was able to get my food order quickly and then sit and relax and eat prior to boarding the plane for my flight. It was plenty of open seating. read more

Terrible service was the main problem. Only one person out of the six standing around seem to care about service. The food was cold, even though I just asked about its freshness. She lied straight to my face. Do not go there, Wendy's and Chick-fil-A is right next door. I would never make that mistake again. read more

Isha, jam and TT were all great and fast with service! great crew you have. They took care of the line in less than 5 minutes and everyone had no issues ar all read more

The meat is really good here! The customer service is always good. Like that nothing is extra to add unless it's double meat

Since HubbyStanks booked our car rental times we were at the airport super early (even for a trip abroad) and super hungry. I suggested we go ahead and eat before going through TSA because I spotted the patio/balcony that used to be used for Covid testing was wide open....there's a food court right there as well. We never tried Qdoba because the only one in town is off Gandy and we're usually on a mission to eat elsewhere when on that side of Tampa. I was pleasantly surprised! I ordered us steak bowls similar to what I'd order at a place that rhymes with "Bipmopely" and I wasn't charged extra for guac! I also ordered chips. Not only were the chips warm, but they were evenly seasoned with lime and salt. The best part about the chips is they weren't stale! The competing place always has the excuse that chips are made fresh in the morning so the lime juice makes them stale. Not so at Qdoba. I swear I wasn't expecting to like my bowl as much as I did...but I did! Next time I'll take a pic...the phone didn't eat first (it didn't eat ar all) in this unexpected encounter. Shame on me! I'll never sleep on Qdoba again! read more

Great staff Food is all was good Clean , and friendly Easy to order and fast service read more

I really enjoy the burrito from Qdoba. Everytime I go there it is a pleasant experience and the food is delicious. The staff and service are very good. The only thing is that sometimes they skimp on the protein but that is a common complaint of the taco places. read more

Around 11:10ish I was on my way to checking in. Saw my favorite QDoba and thought I would grab . Paid $11.28 for my Qdoba bowl, just for the crave of fresh greens. Understanding that the economy gone down, every businesses would try saving on inventory and supplies is normal. But the kind of treatment I had gotten from The lady serving at middle bar was serving food was really amazed me. I had to ask for more on every items she was putting onto my bowl, and at the end, I asked for a bit more salad and fajitas, she said I had to pay extra for it. I'm not a nickle and dime kind of person but the way she was serving was awful. I'm not sure if this is how they were trained to save for the company, if it is they she did an excellent job... on saving... or maybe she just didn't like me or discriminated. read more

QDOBA Mexican Eats - After asking for more on these items and this is my bowl of Qdoba - Fast Food Near Me - Tampa, Florida

There used to be a Qdoba on 23rd Street in Manhattan that I liked to frequent; however, it closed about eight years ago. I hadn't been to one since, until I tried this place in Tampa International Airport. I had a chicken quesadilla and it was very good. The price was low and the portions generous for an airport. One isssue: When I asked for sour cream in my quesadilla, I was told that I could have it on the side, which I thought was odd. (Moe's Southwest Grill lets you have sour cream inside the quesadilla.) Although I like Moe's better than Qdoba, Qdoda is still good, and I like Qdoba better than Chipotle. read more

This is a chipotle type eatery. They have very similar options. It's reasonably priced and the food isn't bad. If this is the type of food you like then you should be ok with this option. read more

Bottom Line: Quick serve Mexican-ish food in the main terminal. I heart Qdoba. I am hooked on their chips and queso and their quesadillas are huge and delicious - perfect for sharing. I also like their salads. This airport location seems to have all the options of a free standing Qdoba. In case you're not familiar with Qdoba, here's how it works - Qdoba uses the Subway/Chipotle assembly line method of ordering. You let them know what you want (taco, burrito, salad, quesadilla, nachos, etc.) and they get it started. Then your dish slides down the counter and another person will add your desired toppings (steak, chicken, cheese, beans, pico de gallo, etc.) Finally, you get to the register and pay. There is seating throughout the main terminal including some tables outside. read more

QDOBA Mexican Eats - Impossible meat - Fast Food Near Me - Tampa, Florida

So I decided to check out this place before boarding a flight. At the time, it seemed brand new since there was a lot of construction around the area. Visually the concept is very similar to Chipotle. Single line where you order your food and build out your Mexican dish. The food options were pretty identical to Chipotle. Burritos, tacos, and burrito bowls. They didn't seem to have carnitas though. I ordered three soft tacos, and they seemed to be as expected. The seasoning in the chicken was pretty good, and not spicy. But again, just felt like a dumbed-down version of Chipotle. I was disappointed that they wouldn't allow me to order a kids meal, since I wasn't very hungry at all. Pretty lame. Every place I've ever been to never has an issue with this... Hopefully they can be more flexible. The service was pretty good, and it didn't seem like a very busy area of the airport. Overall the food and experience is basically on par with what you'd expect at an airport. Nothing incredibly fancy or unique, but a good option if you need to grab a bite before or after traveling. read more

Oh my - in Tampa Intl, when faced with the choice between Qdoba & Wendy's your taste buds are already cringing. However, I picked QDOBA and would suggest against this pick. Simple Chicken Burrito was terrible - meat was dry, rice was "crunchy", and multiple bone fragments in chicken ended quick dinner prematurely. At least the staff were pleasant - although nothing else was. read more

Breakfast This review is only about the breakfast. Precious wanted a bite to eat before taking off. She saw this place. She got a bowl with scrambled eggs and what they portrayed as chorizo, but let me tell you, it really wasn't chorizo. It was more like the taco meat from Taco Bell, spicy ground beef. The eggs were below average, no salt, no taste. The chorizo [sic] was as described above. It's one of those meals that you regret having. There are only so many calories one can eat without getting fat, and we wasted 500 plus or minus on that. Also, a heads up, I strongly recommend NOT eating here outside of the peak lunch and dinner time. The food is precooked, and it sits for who knows how long before it is served. With an inexperienced staff or on a slow day, that can sit there long enough to get nasty. Usually during the peak periods there's enough turnover that you don't have to worry about it. read more

Service is lacking and they are out of so many items. The guacamole was turning because it's been sitting out so long. The food was not good at all. read more

Horribly bad breakfast burrito. Too much oregano. Watery eggs. Indigestion. Never again !!

Slow. Out of black beans and the guy making the burritos was also taking the money without changing gloves

I had a delicious veggie taco salad without the shell at Qdoba! It was very fresh. The servers and cashier were very friendly and also fast. I would definitely recommend anyone coming to Tampa International catching a flight or arriving here to eat at Qdoba. read more

My first experience here was less than wonderful. Isiah (the manager) contacted me and was genuinely concerned about what happened. He asked me to come back so that he could make it right and I'm glad I did. Absolutely, hands down, a perfect experience. Bianca was great but everyone else was smiling and friendly. I will be back regularly. What a turn around! I'm not easy to impress but this time I was. Thank you. read more

The best thing on the menu is to look to the left and walk to chic fi la which is next to it. Food is bland.

Food was good, but service was really poor. Lady's attitude towards customer it's not the best. I don't know if she was having a bad day but if she is like that every day with everyone it won't be good for the business. read more

It was meh. We had the veggie burrito bowl. The taste was okay. It didn't have a lot of options.

I hope I am writing this review for the right location. The ladies who work at the QDOBA in the Tampa airport were so exceptionally sweet and kind and provided great customer service. You do not receive this type of service often. Not only was my food delicious, but more than two of the ladies who work there went out of their way to ask me about the vacation I had just been on, wanting to know if I had a good time, where I went, etc. They set an amazing example for all of your QDOBA's in my opinion. I would look into having the manager of this location become a trainer for new managers if you are not already doing so. They went above and beyond in an atmosphere that is usually very rushed and impersonal. read more

The male worker does not know how to serve. I ordered a burrito and asked for half chicken and half steak for my choice of protein, but the male worker kept insisting that if I wanted half and half meat, then he would charge me double the price. I cleared asked for half and half not 2 separate double scoops of meats. So, I re-asked him to confirm if this "new" policy, which I never heard of, only applied in this specific location and he said yes. I know that this is not true. The worker SHOULD NOT LIE to his or her customer. Absolutely terrible customer service. I lost credibility of this particular company. This event makes me sad that I did like Qdoba in the past. The female cashier was only interested in getting people out of the line. No eye contacts were made during the entire visit. I would never go here ever again. read more

Chips tasted old and food was cold. The chick at the register had a problem and kept rolling her eyes into the back of her head.

The food is disgusting read more
