So I absolutely LOVE Mexican cuisine, and have yet to try out Qdoba so I decided that I would tonight, and it was AMAZING! I ordered the adobo chicken quesedilla with fajita grilled veggies on the inside, and I got the absolutely delicious cilantro lime vinagrette on the side. I love sour cream traditionally with my quesadilla's but today the cilantro lime vinagrette was a really nice pairing for dipping the quesedilla. It has just enough cilantro flavour, a strong lime flavour, and a nice hint of sweetness, my guess is agave or honey. Really nice! The quesedilla portion was nice and big, enough to get me full on it's on, although I could've probably eaten two because it was so good!
I also ordered the three cheese queso with chips on the side, and that was really nice too. The cheese wasn't overpowering, and was a super nice light creamy type of queso with jalapeno's and other veggies into it. Would definitely like to maybe try a spicier version next time though, it was a mild queso!
All in all, it was a really good experience, and I think I found my favorite new restaurant in town.
OH, and Syd, who I believe works there, left a smiley face on my bag which was a nice touch. I've heard from friends they have a really nice front of house staff there, so it was nice to see that extra little customer service touch for someone who ordered online.
Don't believe any of the negative reviews, the food is fresh ( even at 9pm when I ordered my food ) and it's delicious. Must try in...

It is refreshing to go into the restaurant to order and be greeted by the pleasant sound of Mexican themed music.
Watching chicken breasts sizzle on the grill appeals to so many senses at once. The visual appeal of the entire grill consumed by browned chicken, seared with a blend of golden and charred bark, the sound of it sizzling and the smell as my favourite protein approaches ideal temperature for consumption is a little hypnotic.
Qdoba always has fresh ingredients, store-made guacamole, delicious pico de gallo and the queso is pretty tasty too.
This restaurant is always clean, every employee is always busy doing some sort of task to make the whole place work.
If you haven't tried Qdoba, my suggestion is to give it a try. The food is such a nice change in an Italian food dominated community like...
