Qdoba is very similar to Chipotle, but with more pre-determined burritos that you can straight up order rather than doing the assembly line method. (they offer the assembly line method as well). Overall it's about 75% as good as Chipotle in my book, even with the slightly larger variety of ingredients.

What I recommend is getting the two pack. I get the two tacos and nachos, loaded with carnitas and queso. There is nothing at chipotle that can beat this in my opinion.

Chipotle is where it's at. Qdoba has to drizzle it's burrito's in processed melted cheese to compete. There's a reason Chipotle doesn't even offer queso.

When I was writing my food blog, I did a burrito review. There are actually a lot of competitors out there. Each has their pros and cons. For example, California Tortilla has great queso, which comes in the meal with some chips. Baja Fresh has the salsa bar. Bolocco has different styles, like asian burritos, and they have three different sizes. Sheets has some serious make your own options that can get out of hand. Freshii is your truly healthy option.
Qdoba, Baja Fresh, and California Tortilla add tortilla pieces into their burrito.
Chipotle is good, don't get me wrong, but sometimes, you want these other features. I'm also a big pork fan, and Qdoba's carnitas blow away Chipotle's. In fact, the last time I had Chipotle's, they were so dry, it was horrible.
And I know a lot of people are saying they get hooked up by Chipotle, however it's like Subway, it really depends on who your sandwich/burrito artist is. I've gotten lucky in the past when another Chipotle employee has come to my rescue to tell my artist that it needs more meat.
Anyway, as you can see, I've put a lot of thought and research into it.

The Qdoba around me gives tiny portions meanwhile when I ask for half carnitas and half chicken on my bowl at Chipotle I get 150% meat. Then they always forget to mark the fajita veggies because they're buried under quad salsa

Veggie burrito also comes w/ free guacamole. Ask for this, brown rice, black beans, fajita veggies, red tomatillo, chili corn, sour cream, and a lot of cheese. Every time. I never change. Oh and I'll kill someone to get a hold of the smoked tabasco so I can use about 1/3 of the bottle.

Been to Qdoba a couple of times here in hooville....food is pretty good (I'm an admitted Mexican food addict...I'll eat dirt with salsa on it) the biggest problem that I have with it is that the place is located on the corner, in wahoo ground zero, so after going there, I feel like I need to shower repeatedly in order to get the stench of losing off of me.

I'm still pretty pumped about the free hardees sausage biscuit that I got for some random reason (i think it was a made FG) at the UNC v. ECU game a few weeks back.
That was easily the best part of that game.

Can I just say something. There are 5 active threads on the right about bashing UVA. Yeah I love giving them hell, but do we really need 5 threads to do it? It's kind of like the ESPN/HD bashing earlier in the season. Its gotten a bit excessive in my opinion. Yeah it was the bye week and all, but can we get back to talking some Hokie football please?

We only have ONE game on our schedule, DUKE. We are not allowed to talk about any other games past or present. We can bash UVa but it must be unrelated to any past or future alleged games against VT.

Someone down voted this? man.. this is getting out of hand. Here's an extra leg.
I respect your opinion about too much LOLUVA bashing but there's a reason why in-state rivalries are so fun. The "who's better" debate. Right now on the cusp of the Decade of Dominance there is currently no debate. So it is all about bashing because everything else is just grasping at straws.
See LOLUVA straw gasping: "Best 3rd Down Defense in Country" and "Qdoba offering free food for touchdowns".
If they could stop being laughable we wouldn't need to keep laughing at them, but those 5 threads of bashing are about 5 separate classic LOLUVA actions. If you want to limit the bashing to 1 thread then go on the Sabre and ask them to simply commit all their laughable actions on the same day so we can compile them on one thread.
Until that happens the laughing and bashing will not stop and thus the creation of new threads will not either.

Taco Bell is such a delicious bad decision though. Lots of fire sauce and Baja Blast Mountain Dew, mmm
Side note: I took a break from the cake/pie war to enjoy some delicious apple crisp a la mode over the weekend (totally not a pie: no bottom crust)

One of the best meals of my life was 1:00 AM Taco Bell after getting plastered off of Workman Margaritas at Cabo Fish Taco. That right there is the definition of being broke. Ah, undergrad...

Taco Bell is always good going down as a drunk fourth meal, however it's horrible coming out the next morning. It's like additional hung over punishment.
As I get older, my body struggles with that stuff.

I rarely go anymore. so when I'm drunk and head there, I have to order all my favorites. Grilled stuffed burrito, cheesey gordita crunch, big beef meximelt, crunchwrap supreme. I may even throw in some soft tacos or something too just for SHITS and giggles.

Every time I hear someone refer to Qdoba (Or Chipotle) as "Mexican food" I die a little inside. Don't get me wrong, it's good food and I love it as much as anyone, but it's about as Mexican as a hamburger or pizza. I am very bitter and heartbroken about the Mexican food situation in Virginia.
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
Yes, absolutely. This is Tex-Mex, USA's border food. I love it and I love actual Mexican food, which is really quite diverse from each state. If the drug wars ever simmer down to the point where the chance of beheading is less than 1 in 10 (not factual) then I highly recommend taking visit to the northern Mexican states and sampling their version of border food. My favorite being Baja. Or just travel south to a city called Oaxaca which is my personal favorite. Food is amazeballs.
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
Agree. I spent a 2 weeks pre-drug cartel backpacking through Mexico, riding chicken buses and the food was amazing, very different from what is served at the local Bronco's #8 Mexican.
A fresh authentic mole' sauce is to die for.
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
Damn right. Lived in Oaxaca for several months.... Mole' cannot be beaten there. Also stayed 2 weeks on the southern playas in Zipolite before it got too trendy. 2 Beers and lobster for less than 10 dollars at the time and Playa Zipolite has surfing and clothing optional beaches. Heaven.
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
yeah that's right... purposefully moved around a bit trying to get some good experience. I studied urban design/planning and architecture. After VT moved to Tucson. Worked there for a year and some change. Then took over a friend's job in Oaxaca for a short time "helping" the city planning office for room and board (ie. no salary). Then moved to Sydney, Australia to do a Masters in Urban Design and Arch, then moved to China. Lived here for 13 years and now have my own design company.

I was born and raised about 2 hours from the border in southern New Mexico and I think, aside from my family, I miss the food more than anything. What I wouldn't give for some asado or the ability to buy $3 breakfast burritos being sold from some dude's van...
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
haha.. jk. There are a lot of ifs in that but IF it all comes together I'm down for a serious bowl of posole. Thanks dude. So since you asked me, what are you up to? Seems like you are up for adventuring out of the lower 48 as well.

Funny you should ask...I actually haven't done much traveling abroad (yet). I grew up in New Mexico and moved to Blacksburg last year for grad shcool. BUT, I recently found out that I'll be spending next semester in France to finish up my research.
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
Cool beans dude. What are you studying that took you from NM to VT? Never been to France myself but I suspect you will have a great time. Travel the countryside though and the Spanish border. I hear that's where it' at. If you ever end up over on my side give me a post, and I'll be there for the posole if I am around Carlsbad on New Years.
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
haha yup, I'm from Carlsbad, which is about 80 miles south of Roswell. I'm sorry you had to go there, Roswell is the worst. But hole-in-the wall burrito joints are all over that part of the state, they pretty much fuel the entire oil-field work force. They're usually cheap and delicious, and sometimes mobile.

I made the mistake of exploring Nanjing Road and was immediately harassed and offered many massages. I tried to make my way to the waterfront, but didn't quite get that far.
The flight was OK. Took the Dreamliner back, so that helped. Got in early Saturday morning and forced myself to stay awake the entire day. I was able to make it until Ole Miss kicked the winning field goal against LSU then crashed.
Do you know if you'll be in Beijing in November?

Not 100% yet, but chances are looking good for those dates. I will definitely try to move any Beijing meetings into your window of time there so can make it up at same time. I just got a new project opportunity up there so will likely be making a few trips over the next month.
make sure you bring a warm jacket man. Arctic North Face gear or something. It will be COLD.

I don't frequent enough Mexican restaurants up here to say anything about the chains. I've never had Qdoba or Chipotle, but have had a lot of Taco Bell over the years (now the only Taco Bell is in DT SC, so I never go to it anymore).
But I do remember the greatest Mexican dish I've ever had. It was called the Burrito California and it was made by the Mexican place that was in the NRV mall at the JCPenny entrance. It's just carne asada with grilled peppers and onions, with a few spices, and COATED in queso blanco. Most. Delicious. Thing.
Nowadays I go to a few mom-and-pop (er, madre-y-padre) mexican places around SC. El Jalisco, Don Patron, and Rey Azteca.

Why do all of the dufi (dufsses? dufusi?) on La Sabre think that Hokies root for UNC or Dook in basketball? That's just crazy talk. Beating Duke in basketball is just as much fun as beating LOLUVa. Why would I root FOR them?
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
Actually, I root for one or the other every year. It switches. But only in years where Hokietown isn't producing a tournament team. Recently it's been more Duke, but a few years back it was all Carolina.

well, there are a lot of people who wear orange and maroon during football season and baby blue during basketball season. obviously not folks who are on our level of fandom, but there's plenty of them. hell, i remember josh oglesby (i think) talking about how he pulled for unc in hoops.
that being said, there's a lot of hoos who have other schools they pull for in football. i'm not making that up, i've met several people like that.
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
I typically root for Kentucky basketball (brother and sister-in-law are UK grads), VCU basketball (from RVA) and Tech basketball. Luckily these 3 typically don't play each other but if they did I'm all maroon and orange. I don't follow the sport that much except for March Madness though I do try to grab tickets to all the ACC games and the big/fit into my schedule non-conference games at home.

Oglesby's father played at UNC. So I don't begrudge him for that. My dad went to UNC, and I generally pull for them outside of when they play us (unless we would indirectly benefit from them losing).

Semi Mexican Fast food power rankings.
1. Qdoba
That is all.
In St. Louis, there is a Qdoba in one of the more ghetto regions of the city and it is referred to by many as the "dirty doba." It is without a doubt better than any other Semi fast food mexican restaurant I'v ever been to. So greasy, and so delicious.
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
Didn't read, but Qdoba is superior to Chipotle. Chipotle's variety sucks, the burritos are too expensive. I can get a more satisfying meal at Qdoba for a smaller price. Their quesadilla with queso is the tits.

Awwwwww, I'm not gonna get free Qdoba for going to the VT game though........
Don't even know wtf Qdoba is but if their giving it to LOLUVA fans it must be Qwappy anyway!
It's Mexican food
Qdoba is very similar to Chipotle, but with more pre-determined burritos that you can straight up order rather than doing the assembly line method. (they offer the assembly line method as well). Overall it's about 75% as good as Chipotle in my book, even with the slightly larger variety of ingredients.
They also have nachos and that Queso.
dat queso.
double post because the queso is that good
It's Jack in the Box's version of Chipotle.
What I recommend is getting the two pack. I get the two tacos and nachos, loaded with carnitas and queso. There is nothing at chipotle that can beat this in my opinion.
Dude you trippin. If you know what you're doin, you can get like 3 pounds of food for less then six dollars at Chipotle. And higher quality.
Just sayin. Chipotle bro. Chipotle.
Quality over quantity. Sauce/seasoning on carnitas mixed with queso is mind blowing. Can throw it on a burrito too.
You are calling Qdoba quality? Over Chipotle? You definitely be trippin. Qdoba is premade/processed crap. They can have their queso.
Agree to disagree.
Chipotle is where it's at. Qdoba has to drizzle it's burrito's in processed melted cheese to compete. There's a reason Chipotle doesn't even offer queso.
Thank you for supporting Chipotle. The list is clearly:
1. Chipotle
2. There is no 2. Chipotle is just that much better.
3. Qdoba
4. Moe's

I forgot about California Tortilla! The wall of hot sauce is awesome. I bought myself some Endorphin Rush after going there because it's so good!
Cafe Rio FTW
I've never had Qdoba, but...
I stand by my minority opinion that Chipotle is overrated.
Agreed. I'm not a Chipotle fan either. Very overrated.
The Qdoba around me gives tiny portions meanwhile when I ask for half carnitas and half chicken on my bowl at Chipotle I get 150% meat. Then they always forget to mark the fajita veggies because they're buried under quad salsa
Fajita veggies are free anyways :)
It is this idea that leads me to neglect to mention the fajita veggies if the cashier does not explicitly ask about them.
Only if you get the Veggie Burrito... or if the cashier fails to realize they were added :P
Veggie burrito also comes w/ free guacamole. Ask for this, brown rice, black beans, fajita veggies, red tomatillo, chili corn, sour cream, and a lot of cheese. Every time. I never change. Oh and I'll kill someone to get a hold of the smoked tabasco so I can use about 1/3 of the bottle.
No trust me, veggies are always free. They just notate it as a way to keep inventory of the number of veggies being sold a day
There is also one in the new Dining Center on campus which takes dining dollars and had the busiest opening month of any Qdoba
the Qdoba and Brueggers in Turner are the highest grossing locations in the country for both chains
Been to Qdoba a couple of times here in hooville....food is pretty good (I'm an admitted Mexican food addict...I'll eat dirt with salsa on it) the biggest problem that I have with it is that the place is located on the corner, in wahoo ground zero, so after going there, I feel like I need to shower repeatedly in order to get the stench of losing off of me.
Fortunately you most likely are running to a bathroom anyway...
nah....I have an iron intestine
so do you pass a lot of rust?
nah, I'm old, so I just accumulate it.
I'm still pretty pumped about the free hardees sausage biscuit that I got for some random reason (i think it was a made FG) at the UNC v. ECU game a few weeks back.

I'd rather have turkey legs!!!
One TD guarantees the Hoos a taco, two TD's guarantee the Hokies a win.
In other news, UVA fans dying of starvation.
1) Pie 2) Cake 3) 400 feet of crap 4) Chiplote 5) Qdoba 6) radioactive waste covered feces 7) Taco Bell.
Taco Bell is such a delicious bad decision though. Lots of fire sauce and Baja Blast Mountain Dew, mmm
Side note: I took a break from the cake/pie war to enjoy some delicious apple crisp a la mode over the weekend (totally not a pie: no bottom crust)
Where does vinegar sauce fit in this equation?
Dude Taco Bell may not be chipotle, but its not thaaaat bad..I still thoroughly enjoy Taco Bell to this day
I agree...
Until you add alcohol into the mix. Ain't nothin going to compete with drunk Taco Bell. That's a fact.
One of the best meals of my life was 1:00 AM Taco Bell after getting plastered off of Workman Margaritas at Cabo Fish Taco. That right there is the definition of being broke. Ah, undergrad...
Taco Bell is always good going down as a drunk fourth meal, however it's horrible coming out the next morning. It's like additional hung over punishment.

Drunk 4th Meal from Taco Bell always meant one thing for me, Mexican Pizza
I only ordered it drunk. No idea why.
I rarely go anymore. so when I'm drunk and head there, I have to order all my favorites. Grilled stuffed burrito, cheesey gordita crunch, big beef meximelt, crunchwrap supreme. I may even throw in some soft tacos or something too just for SHITS and giggles.
there's something about the way you typed "SHITS" ...
that's why their slogan is "RUN for the Border"
Head for the border
I don't know what gives them a worse case of diarreah, all that Mexicish food or the butthurt a$$-rapings we give them every year on Turkey Day.

Worked there for a year and some change. Then took over a friend's job in Oaxaca for a short time "helping" the city planning office for room and board (ie. no salary).

I was born and raised about 2 hours from the border in southern New Mexico and I think, aside from my family, I miss the food more than anything. What I wouldn't give for some asado or the ability to buy $3 breakfast burritos being sold from some dude's van...
Mexican cheese! DAMN, they are fantastic. Would kill for an authentic taco al pastor topped with some crumbled Cotija.
And if anyone gets the chance try the beers from this place: Cucapa
Also got to give a shout out to a good homemade posole or pozole. Those that know, know.
Posole is one of my dad's specialties. It's a traditional New Year's dish in the buddywilson household.
uh.... This was an invitation right?
haha sure. If you happen to be on the right side of the world (and the right side of the country *throws up Westside sign*), we'd be glad to have you.
REALLY?! (Never thought that would work)
haha.. jk. There are a lot of ifs in that but IF it all comes together I'm down for a serious bowl of posole. Thanks dude. So since you asked me, what are you up to? Seems like you are up for adventuring out of the lower 48 as well.
Funny you should ask...I actually haven't done much traveling abroad (yet). I grew up in New Mexico and moved to Blacksburg last year for grad shcool. BUT, I recently found out that I'll be spending next semester in France to finish up my research.
Cool beans dude. What are you studying that took you from NM to VT? Never been to France myself but I suspect you will have a great time. Travel the countryside though and the Spanish border. I hear that's where it' at. If you ever end up over on my side give me a post, and I'll be there for the posole if I am around Carlsbad on New Years.
Anywhere near Roswell? Was out there for work this past week and saw a burrito van dropping off food at the airport.
haha yup, I'm from Carlsbad, which is about 80 miles south of Roswell. I'm sorry you had to go there, Roswell is the worst. But hole-in-the wall burrito joints are all over that part of the state, they pretty much fuel the entire oil-field work force. They're usually cheap and delicious, and sometimes mobile.
Carlsbad. Nice! Great place. Western Hokies FTW! I'm from Nevada myself.
I was unaware there were so many westerners on here. Reppin CA myself.
Green chilis FTW!
^This guy knows what's up.
I have a good friend who went college in NM and introduced me to the magic that is the green chili
I've always been in favor of a Tijuana bowl
This^^^^
I've been trying to find a image that is SFW to represent this... but, come on, this is TJ we're talking about.
Let's just say that a lot of HOAT's cousins are known to have performed there.... Place gets wild everywhere and crazy if you know where to go...
Oh yeah. My cousin Gerald used to play there all the time. Dirty motherf!cker. We don't invite him to reunions anymore.
May be heading there this christmas when I visit my folks. I head down there every once in a while. You can get a bucket of beers and food for stupid cheap.
Just watch out for the crabs!
I'll see myself out.
Luckily I don't look that type of action up, haha. My wife would be pissed.
Chipotle and Qdoba are much better than Moe's. Wish we had at least one of those when I was an undergrad. That being said, I really miss Baja Fresh.
This thread is really making me hungry...
I had to break out some tortilla chips... this thread is killing me. Would love for a plate of these right about now:
Well, at least the janitors and plumbers of Hooville are happy with this promotion.
How was the flight? Did you manage to get out and explore a bit before you left?
I made the mistake of exploring Nanjing Road and was immediately harassed and offered many massages. I tried to make my way to the waterfront, but didn't quite get that far.

make sure you bring a warm jacket man. Arctic North Face gear or something. It will be COLD.
Maybe I can pick one up from a street vendor...
haha... don't count on it. they just sell STD-ridden massages and genuine PRADO bags
Maybe I can get a Sorny PSP for the ride home!
Oh, Sorny, yeah that's a great brand over here. MUCH better than Panaphonics shit. haha
do you sleep? How am I supposed to stay ahead of you in turkey legs?
Dammit...I'm not anymore!
I am staying up just to pull ahead... haha.. no, no that's only half true.
I am designing a HUGE tourism master plan and need to give it to my staff tomorrow for them to work up into pretty pictures. As I spent too much time on TKP prior to this night I had to pull an all-nighter to catch up.
sounds like college...
yeah... sometimes it's exactly like that. Life of a designer, especially over here. I don't do too many anymore but I've had a few where I had to be up for 2 or 3 days straight, when I was younger and stupid of course.
This thread tells me one thing (well two, we already knew the first = LOLUVA)...I've been eating Moe's all this time, maybe I should try Chipotle...
You haven't had Chipotle??
You should always try new things...but stick to Moe's.
I don't frequent enough Mexican restaurants up here to say anything about the chains. I've never had Qdoba or Chipotle, but have had a lot of Taco Bell over the years (now the only Taco Bell is in DT SC, so I never go to it anymore).

I typically root for Kentucky basketball (brother and sister-in-law are UK grads), VCU basketball (from RVA) and Tech basketball. Luckily these 3 typically don't play each other but if they did I'm all maroon and orange. I don't follow the sport that much except for March Madness though I do try to grab tickets to all the ACC games and the big/fit into my schedule non-conference games at home.
Oglesby's father played at UNC. So I don't begrudge him for that. My dad went to UNC, and I generally pull for them outside of when they play us (unless we would indirectly benefit from them losing).
Semi Mexican Fast food power rankings.
1. Qdoba
That is all.
In St. Louis, there is a Qdoba in one of the more ghetto regions of the city and it is referred to by many as the "dirty doba." It is without a doubt better than any other Semi fast food mexican restaurant I'v ever been to. So greasy, and so delicious.
Didn't read, but Qdoba is superior to Chipotle. Chipotle's variety sucks, the burritos are too expensive. I can get a more satisfying meal at Qdoba for a smaller price. Their quesadilla with queso is the tits.
Finally.
Requirement for basically everything on this thread:

We are talking about washing our mouth out right?
Am I the only one that finds this slightly disturbing?
No I do too. E Coli FTW.
am it the only one who read it as 'bid-ett' at first?
