🌯 Signature Burritos
Our burritos are wrapped in warmth and packed with bold flavor. Choose from our chef-crafted signature creations like the legendary Chicken Queso Burrito or the slow-cooked, deeply flavored smoky Brisket Birria Burrito. Each burrito starts with a warm 12.5" flour tortilla, filled with cilantro lime rice, slow-simmered beans, and your choice of flame-grilled protein, then loaded with hot cheese, and topped with our signature fresh hand-smashed guacamole!
Bowl Options (Naked Entrees)
Ditch the flour tortilla without losing an ounce of taste. Our naked bowls are perfect for those looking for a lighter option, gluten-free dining, or following low-carb diets. The Double Protein Bowl is a gym-goer favorite, while our tailored **Keto Bowls** replace heavy white rice with high-fiber seasoned cauliflower mash or fresh crispy romaine lettuce. All the fillings you love, beautifully served in a bowl.
🌮 Tacos, Quesadillas & Loaded Nachos
From crunchy hard corn shells to soft flour street tortillas, our tacos are bite-sized perfection. Don't miss our **Street Style Tacos**, served in sets of three with finely chopped onions, fresh cilantro, and cotija cheese. For something extra molten and cheesy, try our **Grilled Quesadillas** or the **Loaded Nachos**, loaded generously with our famous warm 3-Cheese Queso and piled with pickings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick, detailed answers to the most common questions regarding Qdoba's menu, pricing policies, and diet customization.
Yes, absolutely! One of Qdoba's most popular policies is that hand-smashed guacamole is included in the base price of every entrée at no extra charge. This contrasts with competitors like Chipotle, who charge extra for adding guac to meat entrees.
Most ingredients are naturally gluten-free, including seasoned rice, pinto and black beans, grilled meats, fajita veggies, and salsas. However, flour tortillas contain wheat.
We highly recommend ordering a Naked Bowl or a Salad Bowl with corn tortilla shells if you have a gluten sensitivity or wheat allergy.
Yes, the Impossible™ plant-based meat used in Qdoba entrees is 100% plant-based and vegan-certified. It is seasoned in-house with signature spices, making it an excellent high-protein protein alternative for vegan and vegetarian lifestyles.
A fully-loaded custom chicken burrito with cilantro lime rice, beans, cheese, sour cream, and salsa typically ranges between 800 and 1,100 calories. You can instantly save about 320 calories by choosing a naked Bowl style instead of the 12.5" flour tortilla wrapper.
The Classic Hot Bar includes everything you need for a build-your-own taco or bowl station: 2 choice proteins (Chicken, Steak, Ground Beef, Carnitas), rice, pinto or black beans, shredded cheese, signature 3-cheese queso, hand-smashed guac, sour cream, fresh salsas, chips, and flour/corn shells. It also comes complete with chafing dishes, sternos, plates, and serving utensils!
No! Just like guacamole, Qdoba's signature 3-Cheese Queso and Queso Diablo are completely free to add to any standard entree. You only pay if you order a separate side portion of chips and queso.
