Quesada Burritos & Tacos — Restaurant in Duncan

We'd been wanting to try this for a while, and finally did the other night! It's impossible to not compare to Chipotle, with the concept being so similar and them sort of "setting the bar" so to speak.

We each had a burrito (4 total) & shared a large chips & gauc.

The good: -Being able to choose sizes is brilliant. -Great selection of ingredients, all of which seemed fresh. -I liked the burrito being grilled. Maybe not for everyone, but a plus for me! It also wasn't scalding hot, but a great temp -Prices are quite reasonable -Open late!

The average: -The burrito itself gets a solid "good". It wasn't exciting and didn't create that "craveable" Chipotle experience, but there also wasn't much to fault. I felt like the 'spicy' chicken (which was described as a 7/10 on the spice scale by an employee) was pretty mild!

The bad: -I was surprised they wanted extra $ for the grilled veggies to replace the beans, which I usually opt to skip. This felt pretty cheap, and I was not expecting that. (This is my usual at Chipotle) -The sit down area was pretty dirty. We ended up cleaning off our own table, the trash cans were partly overflowing, etc. The order area was well staffed and very efficient, but the rest seemed ignored. -The chips & guac were overpriced and extremely disappointing. The guac was ok (though it seemed small for a "large") but the chips were downright terrible. I specifically had hoped for something more authentic & Mexican Restaurant style, but this was NOT that. They were oversalted, flavourless, and sort of thick cardboard. -To further mention the chips, half of the bag was just crumbles of smashed chips. I guess it's a good thing the "large" guac was small, because we ran out of dippable chips first...

The inexcusable: -The digital menu screens rotate their content making them impossible to read. My parents were with us, who are a bit slower to take in the menu options... this was massively frustrating for them, and started the whole thing off on a bad note. Removing an entire half of the menu to advertise some single "pre-made" option is ridiculous and serves no purpose but to annoy customers.

I realize it's foolish to expect really "authentic" Mexican food from a place like this, but their website blog talks about a lot about Mexican food culture, etc which is pretty neat. That led me to think it might have been a bit more on point than it was.

I think had we skipped the chips I might have had a much better impression overall.

Would I go back? Probably not without reason. The late hours are a huge plus though - I can see grabbing a burrito if we were ever coming home from Victoria late and most other things were closed. It's certainly a massive step up from late-night fast...

If you're looking for a dining experience that combines exceptional service with delicious food, look no further than Quesada. While it may be a chain restaurant, the quality of the food and the attention to detail from the staff really sets it apart.

First, let's talk about the staff. From the moment you walk in the door, you're greeted with a warm smile and friendly demeanor. The staff members at Quesada are knowledgeable about the menu and are happy to make recommendations based on your preferences. Whether you're in a rush or have time to sit down and savor your meal, the staff is always accommodating and attentive.

Quesada offers a wide variety of menu items, from classic Mexican dishes like tacos and burritos to more unique options like their famous "Quesarito" (a quesadilla-burrito hybrid that is as delicious as it sounds). The ingredients are always fresh and flavorful, and the portions are generous.

But what really sets Quesada apart is their commitment to quality. They use only the best ingredients and take care to prepare each dish with care. You can taste the difference in every bite. In addition, it's an amaziany kid friendly environment.

Overall, I highly recommend Quesada to anyone looking for a delicious meal and exceptional service. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite on the go or sitting down for a leisurely meal with friends or family, Quesada is sure to exceed your...

The most bland Americanized Mexican food I have ever eaten. The only discernable taste that I can remember is the slightly burned tortilla shell. None of the ingredients were noticeable. All the life had been cooked out of the ingredients. I ended up going across the way to another restaurant to get something else.

Speed: 3/5 - Not bad, not great. Sat around for 5 mins and a nearby filthy table. I guess when you only staff 2 people for lunch service, cleaning takes a backseat.

Atmosphere: 2/5 - With some more diligent cleaning and some decor this place would be nicer. It's very similar to eating at a dirty food court with loud Mexican music playing. The speed which the menus cycle is highly irritating when you are trying to figure out the menu.

Food: 2/5: - Looks great but doesn't taste great. I was disappointed greatly by the complete lack of taste.

Value 2/5: - Portion-wise the value is 3/5. Factoring in the quality of the food I probably would only pay $7 for what I...
