Qdoba Mexican Grill

Qdoba Mexican Grill takes Mexican food and tosses in Flat Top Grill, for a flavourful adventure for your taste buds.  Located mostly in the Downtown area, Qdoba is family - friendly, fast and casual ( `a la McDonald's).   

Your visit starts with flour or whole wheat tortilla; cilantro - lime rice or brown rice;  black beans or pinto beans; plus, various types of meat, ranging from chicken to pork, grilled steak to ground beef.  There are also options for vegetarians.  Then there are the different salsas; you have your choice between mild and extra - hot habanero. You line up, cafeteria - style.

The restaurant also offers burritos, taco salads, tacos, nachos grilled quesadillas and tortilla chips with your choice of their 3 - cheese queso, guacamole or salsa, as well as sour cream or cheese.

For the younger crowd (12 and under) there are smaller versions of the Naked Chicken Burrito, Chicken or Cheese Quesadillas, Chicken Nachos and a single taco. 

The beverage options are the usual sodas, bottled water, vitamin water and tea. 

The chips and guacamole plate  is a crowd pleaser!  And, for me, their Mexican Gumbo hits one out of the ballpark.  (I, of course, opted for the habanero salsa, which is pretty tame in my estimate.)  In addition to dining - in, catering is also available.  (Their catering phone number is 888.736.2224)

My favourite Chicago location is 957 W Diversey; 773.868.0213
