    When was Qdoba ever a decent option? Their best has always been “disappointing” for me.

    I am not being snarky, I just don’t ever remember them being good.

    As for Chipotle, I don’t go there very often but even the last time I was in and saw chicken going on the grill and they said fresh avocados are used every morning to make the guacamole, that was how I remembered them. And how I always figured the differentiation was: Chipotle made their food, but Qdoba was just put together Sisco truck food.

        Yup. And in more recent times, they had Impossible Meat options for a while. Then they stopped. Now, as a vegetarian, I feel like I’m getting ripped off, especially if I place an online order…quite a lot for essentially rice and beans.

      When I first started going (maybe late 90s, early 00s) they had more salsa options, which I was keen on.

      IIRC, their hottest was at least hotter than Chipotle, even if neither really dialed up the spice all that much.

      I ate at Qdoba once. It made my butt explode.

      Quiznos had the same effect.

      I eventually learned how to eat clean, now my digestive system has been calm & happy for years. My rule of thumb is no restaurants. Ever. Control every ingredient that goes into my mouth.

        Haha. Yeah, if you have a sensitive system, it’s hard to have much control over anything if you eat at a restaurant.
