Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

There are no options on campus for tacos/mexican besides this den of ineptitude. So when a craving strikes off I go. But I hate the assembly line aspect of it. I'm allergic to dairy, so I always decline the "cheese or sour cream" option, and instead substitute guacamole. But here there are no substitutions- so I have to pay $1.50 extra for guac. I know avocados are expensive, but so is dairy. There is no wi-fi. On a college campus that is pretty lame. The chicken is often fatty, and they skimp on it. $10 for 3 crappy, inauthentic tacos w/guac and a soda is not cheap. (I don't really expect authentic from Qdoba- but the 'no substitutions' aspect of this place lends to my tendency to nit-pic) I really wish someone would open a taco truck on campus already.

#186 During Institute over the summer at Temple, this place became my comfort food location. On the days when my 4th-graders were getting under my skin and I wanted to scream bloody murder, I could only think of their delicious cilantro-lime rice soaked in Mexican Gumbo. The employees were always chipper and the lines moved along quickly. The portions were always heftier than expected, which is a plus in my book, and their delicious food hit the spot just right. I'm sure some of my post-college weight gain was a result of my constant Qdoba love, but I sure needed it.

Since this isn't actual Mexican food I can only give it 3 stars. The vegetarian stuff is kind of bland.. like something is missing and no, I don't mean meat. I usually am more of a vegetarian person especially with Mexican food (or something close to Mexican food) but whenever I go to Qdoba I usually have to get chicken since Poultry is the only kind of meat I eat. The only vegetarian meal I like is the gumbo. People usually are crazy about the burritos or the burrito bowl but me personally, my favorite are the chicken quesadillas. Other then that, I think the guacamole and the queso are delicious! I have gotten take out and it's pretty much the same as dining in (for the quesadillas anyway, don't know about the other entrees). The place is big and clean but because it's on a college campus there is usually a line and it can be hard to find a place to sit at times. I personally think this is kind of pricey for a knock off of Mexican food and a step up from fast food but they have some items that are reasonably priced. The nachos with chicken are good but I have yet to try a burrito with chicken. Maybe when I do I will figure out why everyone loves the burritos and burrito bowls so much. Personally, I think this is better then Chipotle but not everyone else does.

I like it. the enviornment is clean and food is fresh. I had their taco salad with grilled chicken. The service is fast too. pricy I know. if only they are cheaper I will show up more frequenctly.

Don't come here during lunch/dinner rush! The food is okay. If you have never been to Qdoba before, they have the regular Mexican-chained foods: burritos, tacos (3), quesadilla, burrito bowl.... If you like spending $7.50 on 3 puny tacos, be my guest. I suggest getting the burrito or burrito bowl. Fill them up with whatever you want: rice (2 options), beans, veggies, salsa, queso, guac, and sour cream. Still $7.50 and three times as much food as the tacos. Fairly simple menu when you walk in. Seating is adequate.

It's nice to have a nice, filling option close to where I live, but Qdoba is really nothing that you should travel very far too. I think I prefer Taco Bell!
(2)Mike A.
Qdoba is the best chain-Mexican I've ever had and this location is on point all the time. Their food may be prepackaged and frozen at some point, but I would rather have this kind of chain than a McDonald's or some other giant. It should certainly have more than 3 stars as an average; try the chicken quesadillas if you're looking to try them for the first time!

Even though customer service was good, the food was horrible.
(1)Sam W.
Just like Chipotle! Food was great, very filling, tasty, and I got it quick. Everyone was nice and polite and they take Temple Diamond Dollars which is always a bonus for a student. The other night I came in to use the restroom without buying anything and they didn't care at all.
(5)Robyn M.
I love Qdoba but this is kinda dirty, especially behind the counter. Comparing it to the one on City Line Avenue. That's a great one in service & cleanliness.
(2)Christian H.
I love Qdoba. And therefore I love this place. It's right up the street from the movies, so right after me and my friends go for a flick we can head right up the street and go here. I love the big portion sizes you get for the amount of money you pay. $6.75 seems like a lot but it's definitely worth it for the portion size you get. We usually split the chips and get a soda to wash it down with it. Just make sure you eat it slowly. You might end up with the Qdoba effect--gas, feels like you're about to puke-the general overeat feeling. So be careful with your glutiness. EDIT: The "it" I'm talking about is the burritos.
(4)Charlie T.
Qdoba is like Taco Bell in the same way that Beethoven is like Nickleback. This is authentic Mexican cuisine served in an intimate setting by some of the most professional waitresses that I have seen in my culinary career. This is the stuff that restaurateurs dream about. I'd advise ordering at least three entrees and requesting seven to twenty extra trays so you can set up your own little tapas tasting menu. Sure, it might cost 70 bucks, but have you gone to a tapas bar lately? Stop questioning me? Maybe I'm smarter than you? Maybe there's a reason that I'm the semi-professional food critic and you are not? Get the gumbo. Get at least two burritos. Get a damn quesadilla. And if you order any of these without extra queso, you are a chump and a disappointment to mankind. Heck, I order extra queso for my Sprite. But, I do have a bit of a refined palate. By the way, steal as much Tabasco from the tray by the soda machine. You can steal at least five bottles a visit. You deserve it. NOW, STOP. You're not the king of 'rito town. You can't just start shoving that tortilla nonsense into your mouth like my ex-girlfriend Nancy on her diet cheat day. You'll look like a stupid, dumb idiot. You need to douse this cornucopia of diarrhea-fuel with Tabasco until it looks like the money shot in an adult film. This is authentic, my friend. You've stumbled on some secret Mayan shiznit or something. Welcome to El Dorado. If any of your meal is not sopping wet with hot sauce, you have wasted your money, just like how Nancy used to waste my money. All-in-all, the Qdoba is a masterpiece of ethnic dining and a fantastic night out for young lovers or a remedial community college Spanish class. I miss you, Nancy. I'm sorry I was so selfish.

Qdoba, the only Mexican joint within the confines of Templetown. Yeah, I know it's not REAL Mexican food, but for fast food, it'll do the trick. The quality of food and service is pretty standard compared to other Qdoba locations. Because it's on a college campus, it gets backed up, especially between noon to 1pm (lunch) and between 7pm to 8pm (dinner). Kind of overpriced for what you get, such as for the tacos. Gumbo and burritos are more reasonably priced, which is good, because those are my go-to Qdoba items. The salsa selection is pretty good and flavorful. The pulled pork is my favorite meat here, it's so tender and soft and I just can't get enough of it. Everything's relatively fresh tasting, if a bit salty. Some days, the batches of food don't seem as flavorful as usual, but that's nothing a dab of hot sauce can't cure.

Let's face it, Qdoba is not where you should go if you're craving *real* Mexican food. But for those of us who work close by and are craving something other than the tuna sandwich that we brought for lunch, it's an OK choice. My gripes are as follows: 1. It's way too expensive for what you get. You want a side of guac, which will turn out to be a negligible amount anyway, be prepared to refinance your house. You want something other than water to drink? Prepare, again, to dig deep in your wallet. 2. The lines and crowds. Yes, I get it. This is on/near a college campus. That doesn't make me any less annoyed when I walk in and the line is to the door. 3. Seating. Obviously with the crowds seating will be at a prime. Sometimes you're lucky, sometimes you're not. 4. The food. It's not very flavorful, but that's to be expected with a chain restaurant. My general advice is if you're not feeling like eating your tuna salad or egg salad or ham and cheese...choke it down and then reward yourself with a Mexican dinner at one of the really GOOD spots in Philadelphia. And while you're there, grab a margarita, too!

I was in town for a short visit and decided to grab a bite to eat off the side of Temple's campus. The restaurant seemed safe enough.. a few students, a few older folks, and a decent flow of others taking things to go. I had an interview the next day so I thought why not! Nothing like a burrito assembly line to keep me fueled until the next morning. The food was delicious while I was eating it. However, the problem came later that night... throughout the night. It seems that I had gotten food poisoning from something in the burrito I ate. Long story short, the next few days and flight home weren't the most enjoyable. I hate to give it one star because the queso burritos looked pretty amazing, but I'd hate more for the same fate to fall upon another innocent soul.
(1)Michele H.
It's not the best but it's not the worst..It is pretty pricey for being on a college campus (broke students galore) but its okay once in awhile, although the price of one meal makes my wallet cry. They give hefty portions leaves you filled!

I used to be obsessed with this place, craving their pulled pork tacos a lot during the week. But, I've grown out of that. It is of course not authentic, but you should know that already. My main problem with this place is how inconsistent they are with portions. Sometimes I get a decent amount of pork in proportion to the rest of the taco. But, sometimes I get only a few slivers, not near to enough. And the staff should never, ever strain the juice from the pork. This creates a dry, less edible taco. This place is also too expensive to eat at regularly. Then there was the time I got sick from this place. It was horrible. My boyfriend and I most definitely got food poisoning from their food. I didn't eat here for a good few months after that.

Jesus Christ, if this is what people think Mexican food is, they should be handed a turd wrapped in a tortilla pooped by someone who ate nothing but good Mexican food and lots of corn. I made the mistake of coming in here once, and my stomach is still trying to forgive me of that heinous act. People, vote with your wallets, go to South Philly were actual people of Mexican heritage reside and MAKE REAL MEXICAN FOOD. Trust me, a white dude who's failing economics didn't give a single fuck when he slapped on overcooked meat onto the over-processed flour flapjack thing and sprinkle some lettuce atop that heaping pile of diarrhea. And the place is a disgrace on top of all the craptastic food. I've eaten in cleaner place in Tijuana. Read Mike T's review, he'll go into detail how grimy this place is and into more detail about how bad the place is [though I absolutely disagree about the absurd tasting wrapped meat concoction I was ultimately handed]. Amazing burritos in California cost $5 and are filled to the brim with deliciousness that's as hard to describe as an acid trip. Good burritos in South Philly are $7 and while not as amazing, are very good! Disgusting burritos from Qdoba cost close to $10 and are made with Hitler's own malevolent intestines and is described like an overused porta-potty. Choose wisely.

Best burrito place in the world. Better than any real Mexican place. Better than chipotle, California tortilla, moes, baja grill, etc. if you don't like it get outta my face. Queso chicken burrito for life. Also has Choulua hot sauce which rules and Chipolte has tobasco which sucks ass
(5)Candace W.
Appalling!!! Just go to Chipotle and save yourself the nausea!!

Fast-casual burritos, clean restaurant, friendly service, fine place for cheap, quick lunches.

I went here with some friends a few weeks ago. Being from New Jersey, I've only had the chance to experience Qdoba about two or three other times at different locations and had great experiences with both the food and service. Unfortunately, this trip went a little differently. I walked into Qdoba at around 2 o'clock, just before the Temple rush. There was no line and I was helped immediately. Since I am extremely unfamiliar with their menu, I took about 5 seconds to browse it. (The only menu in the store I might add, located behind the counter above the cashier.) This angered the first member of what later turned out to be an assembly line of assholes. After making a condescending/sarcastic remark about me not knowing what I wanted, he proceeded to place my grilled chicken into a wrap and slide it to asshole #2. Asshole #2 introduced herself to me by mumbling a noise I couldn't understand, after politely asking her to repeat what she had just muttered, she blurted out 3 salsa options to me in a very rude demeanor. I chose my salsa, apologized (again) and continued with my order. She continued to fill my burrito with the contents of my choosing and moved down the line. As we got to the end, I made a final request for some rice. Rather than taking the 2 seconds in would take to put a scoop of rice into my burrito, she angrily said "OH NOW YOU TELL ME". I assumed she had to have been joking, but it turned out I was wrong. I again apologized and got nothing in return. Extremely annoyed, she then proceeded to slide my tray to Asshole #3. Asshole #3 blurted out the 11 dollar and some change total that my order had come to and handed me a cup that I never ordered. Feeling very uncomfortable and almost bullied, I handed him cash, got my change, waited for the thank you I never got, and left the line feeling about the same size as the brain of the person who manages this fine establishment, very small. As I approached the soda fountain to fill up the cup I never ordered and was charged for, I was greeted by a bucket of ice, an uncovered container of cut lemons, and an enormous family of flies that decided to land all over both. Disgusted, I sat in the nearest booth and waited for my friends. The wall my booth had been up against was COVERED in food residue. I don't know if a food fight had gone on between the degenerate employees before I arrived or what but the flies sure didn't seem to mind. I know what you're probably imaging me as right now and I honestly am not that. I am a hardworking 22 year old that just wanted a chicken burrito. My ordering process took literally about 45 seconds at the most and could have been 15 seconds with a positive, smart, and polite employee working that day. I will never walk inside a Qdoba again and it really is a shame because that burrito was BANGING.
