I'm lovin' Qdoba
Well, we were going to go someplace else and seriously was debating pizza. But I turned to my husband and said, "Let's go to Qdoba. We keep saying that we want to try them out. Let's do it." He was like- "O rly?" and I was like- "Yah rly" so we bravely trundled down the road.
This particular restaurant had kudos to start out with anyway since it was paired up in the same storeblock as Starbucks, a drive-thru Starbucks no less. It also had the same streamlined clean look that was a comforting contrast to Taco Bell and etc. We had already gone to the website and seen the enigma known as mole sauce. The chocolate hot sauce. Nothing short of intruiging.
I had ten dollars in my pocket luckily, so when we both ordered two items a piece from the menu it wasn't check-shock. I put the dollar sign on par with that of Tijuana Flats... $5 for your cheese quesadilla and $6.89 for your chicken or steak. Around the same for their burritos.. which are nothing short of stupendous since they are the size of newborn children *pardon the reference*.
Instead of using refried beans as filler, they use rice with cilantro. Whole pinto beans and black beans that have been slow cooked. Sirloin as a topping. White cheddar cheese, fresh guacamole, THE mole sauce (you can smell the faint aroma of the cacao)... all tops up to be such a fresh approach to mexican to make it seem a new expereience. The chips alone are timestamped, that's how serious these people are. One person can come in hungry, and about eight dollars lighter- but feel really good about it.
Highly highly recommended. And ask for extra mole.
