The person in charge behind the counter made a snide remark after asking for a simple bill/payment related service and seemed in haste. The food tasted good for the price, but the service, staffing, and atmosphere can definitely be improved. It's not always about the food ! Service and atmosphere contributes to the overall experience as well !

I’m not usually one to write reviews, but the staff here wouldn’t allow us to use the restroom when we *really* needed the access — it felt like the host was being intentionally difficult. Each person in our group was a paying customer.

0 stars if I could. Walked in to an EMPTY restaurant. Every. Single. Table. Was dirty. Figured it would be some college kids working... no... 3 full grown adults sitting on their phones. Started ordering an immediately regretted it. The food looked very old. After ordering and paying for our meal we were scared to eat the food due to the condition of the restaurant and what the prep looked like. Ended up getting another supper. Would not go here EVER again. Eat at your own risk. Seriously.

Update:: The branch is even worse now! They now justify why they don’t give me what I want because it “makes the machine dirty” !! So apparently they don’t want to wipe the griller this is why they only serve dry quesadillas with minimal queso and meat because they are too lazy to “clean the machine”.

Other branches like the one on South Park street are more professional

———————-

I love Qdoba but this branch is bad. Some of the employees here don’t adhere to hygiene practices. Now when I see the same employees I leave without ordering.

One of them also doesn’t give me what I want! I wanted to add lettuce in my quesadilla and he refused! I have been doing that for years but he just refused for no reason and I had to argue loudly with him! Same thing happened with sauces he doesn’t want sauces to be inside rather he says these are on the side. I tried other branches in the city and they don’t do that.

I once saw also a small cockroach — I can’t fully blame them because state street is not clean enough so bugs can enter but still I think they can improve the atmosphere and make sure things are cleaner

I got yelled at for asking for silverware. They did not offer chips or any condiments. I was not impressed with the service and it was not worth it. Additionally, some other patrons of this facility were screaming and I was close to calling the cops. If you are a woman and want food, it is not worth it. Save your time, because you do not deserve it. There was also not a bathroom for paying customers. I will be contacting corporate for a refund.

Zero parking because it's on State Street but the service is always good and online orders are always prompt. The food quality is a hair below what I'm used to from Qdoba, but overall it's not a bad option.

I'm honestly done ordering delivery from Qdoba. They can't pay their employees a livable wage and then they outsource their delivery to door dash. Doordash pays their drivers even less which means the drivers have no idea where they are even delivering the food to. I'm done. Bye Felicia.

unprofessional, stupid workers! I came to pick up an online order for a popular delivery, the package that I was supposed to pick up is not there! Only workers give out these packages, the worker immediately said that another driver took it, you could tell from his face that he was lying, I asked him to show the program that this order was picked up, and as always they said "no", I asked to re-order, but they said "no".

Qdoba is one of my favorite restaurant- quick, easy and cheap. I usually don’t have a complaint, the food is always delicious, and the service is always amazing. My experience tonight left me sobbing in the car. I have severe issues with Gluten and since my girlfriend was ordering a burrito before I ordered my food, I politely asked the lady behind the counter to change her gloves before preparing my bowl. She didn’t understand, so asked her coworker what I said. When she got translated what I asked, she laughed and made some snarky remarks in spanish to her coworker, in front of me. To add to the injury, when checking out, the manager didn’t bother giving me my receipt, at the same time as calling my girlfriend sir. Very condescending, do not recommend going to this location if you are trans or need accommodation with your food.

The employees got our order wrong and were listening to things on their phone at such a loud volume we could hear it clearly from our seats at the front of the store. Everything was visually very dried out though the meats were the worst. The tables looked clean at first but were sticky, and the hand sanitizer was empty.

The food at least tasted okay, and service was fast. Expensive for what we got out of it.

I rarely ever write negative reviews but this one, I have to bring up so that people don't experience this:

So, me and my girl were going to eat out and she suggested we go to QDOBA because we tried QDOBA in LA and we had a great experience. Thinking that we would get the same good experience we had back in LA here in Madison, we decided to go to QDOBA in State St., I wish we hadn't gone there.

One of the employees (a big person with pink/violet hair) had absolutely zero hospitality and was very rude.
In QDOBA LA, we got to choose just about everything that goes on our bowl. In Madison, after we indicated what kind of order (e.g., Fajita chicken) the employee with the pink hair straight up didn't give us the option to choose what toppings to have and just gave us just some random combination of toppings (i.e. he choose everything himself minus the type of meat). He just rung up the orders and didn't even ask if we wanted chips (which come for free with our order) nor did he ask if we wanted any condiments. He just passed everything to the register and rung up the order.

Another example of how that one employee was rude was when my girl was reaching over the glass to point at a specific topping she wanted, and for some reason the employee with the pink hair got very nasty and raised his voice on my girl saying not to reach over the glass. Which is funny, her hand, which was 3 feet away from the food is relatively safe while the employee himself was:
1- Not wearing a mask (where spit can land on the food upon speaking with customers)
2- was not wearing a hair-net (where hair can land on the food).
Now you tell me who's posing a greater food safety hazard :)

I have to say though, the food was really good, but good luck getting over the attitude of that one employee.
And I also have to say that, that one employee with the pink hair is the only one who was horrible, the rest of the two employees were really good. The person running register (M, 20-28 yrs old) was very polite and so as the other lady. But the way that one employee was the kind of rude that ruins your mood. I'm writing the review a day later because it really stuck in my head.

Attached is a picture of the receipt indicating the time and date.

Amanda closed the store six minutes early. When I tried to order she refused to take my order and called the cops. She said they close at 9:55 when 10PM was clearly posted. She had started her closing duties before closing and was upset I was going to order.

Please talk to your “managers” about how they close “their store” early.

I walked in at about 6pm and no other customers were there. This should have been a hint not to go there, considering that the line at the Chipotle was nearly out the door. However, I've had Qdoba before, so I decided to try it. The burrito was so bad I had to throw it out. It some of it had clearly been sitting untouched for quite some time and the tortilla was horrible.

Staff was nice and fun and the food was very good. Food and service was fast as well. I chose a vegetarian option and the impossible meat and it tasted quite good. The ingredients were good and they gave good amounts of each ingredient in the bowl I ordered. The only downside to this location is that it is not at all wheelchair accessible to order food. The counter is up a flight of stairs.

Being a customer and to use a restroom it seem disrespectful and humilaiting to ask where are you going?
is it disrespectful to ask with this attitude where are you going like he own the property.
is he imagining himself a gangster or prince it sounds he was arguing in that way ?!

Went there on a Saturday night. The quesadilla had no cheese in it so we had to fill it with our own at home. The bowl had practically nothing in it and was cold even though we ate it there. The people are nice and during the summer everything was great there. Since the fall though orders have been wrong and cold almost every time we have went there.

Steak tacos are pretty good.
Unfortunately, with my unsteady hands, it’s difficult and a bit dangerous trying to carry those featherweight plates of food down the 7 steps without spilling any food. I almost slipped last time. One hand on the rail leaves only one (in my case shaky) hand to carry featherweight plate with food.

Tonight, a group of my friends and I ordered Qdoba off of Eat Street at 5pm and a few items for our order were missing. We then called at 6:15pm to report our missing items. We were told Qdoba would remake it and ship it back to us, free of charge. I bet you're thinking, oh that is swell. Nope. 6 calls (some ignored) and 6 hours later, we have no Qdoba and we are sad. One of the times, we called at 10:30 and nobody even told us they stopped delivering. Sad. Only one woman at Qdoba truly tried to assist us and mega shout out to her. But other than her and the wonderful Eat Street woman, nobody helped. So thanks for nothing, QDOBA!!!

Went here for dinner with my team from work, and everyone seemed to enjoy their meal. Huge portion sizes and good tasting food. One of my coworkers particularly recommended the trout. Another is vegetarian, and had a hard time finding something to eat (docked a star for that). The ambiance is very nice too. They have tubs of peanuts on the table, and you can just take the shells off and drop them on the ground. The place has a nice rustic feel to it and is very busy. Definitely seems like one of the popular places in town.
