Whenever I enter a place for food, I have no intention of any expectations. I did not know it was a subsidiary until after the fact. The mention of it was to emphasize that I would have expected better from the parent chain. I made no mention of Chipotle in my article, but that is a place I will make a post about soon. As well, I was reviewing the overall experience, the taste was one part of the issue. I was not able to get any rice so I can not say for sure if their quality was any better. I was not comparing the southwest food you would get at a sit down place to Qdoba, I was comparing it to the other places in the area that call themselves a Mexican Grill. What I said about the salsa was that it was not a hot sauce it claimed to be. This is a fast food place, you do not sit down, wait for a waitress, wait for your food, and wait for a bill. You order up, you wait maybe 2 minutes, and you pay for your food if you hadn't already. Qdoba needs some help, maybe I will go back in a few months and try it again. The reason I do this is to show if you are getting your money's worth of food, not to flaunt being a gourmet by any means. Maxine, I feel I need to explain my reviews for you.

As you said, it is a subsidiary of a fast food chain and, like Chipotle (owned by McDonald's) there's only so much you can expect. It's not going to be gourmet and maybe it's not the Southwest food you're accustomed to, but if you take it for what it is - it's really quite good. I like Qdoba far better than Chipotle and think the chicken is tasty, the rice is unbeatable and the salsa is very mild - just the way I like it. I'm clearly a big fan and it fed my hungry college student self many a night. Everyone has a right to their own opinion, you just can't critique a fast food restaurant as if it were something it doesn't even claim to be. I’m sorry but I have to defend Qdoba.
