QDOBA Mexican Eats

I have eaten at Qdoba for years. Usually in Arlington or off Bryant Irvin. I have been to this specific location a handful of times, and the food standard is far below par for what the other locations serve. Came a couple of years back and picked up an order. When I got home, the tomatoes in the pico were browning, soggy and grainy. I gave feedback and received a card in the mail for a free replacement entree. Decided to try again today. BIG mistake. I tried their new shrimp special. I got home and took a bite with one shrimp in it. The PUTRID taste in my mouth and smell that came out of my nose made me gag instantly, to the verge of vomiting back in the bowl. I look closer at the shrimp, and the outsides are wilted, instead of looking juicy and plump. So, I drove ALL the way back, and spoke to the female manager. Her response to me was that I must just not like the seasoning they put on it. I'm 42 with 25 years of restaurant experience. I also LOVE seafood. I am well

This place used to be great. I drove pretty far out of my way to go eat here often but the last handful of times has not been a great experience. They seem to always be out of stuff which was justified after Covid but since it is still a issue I am assuming bad management now. I have also noticed the last few visits that the store was empty when all the other surrounding restaurants are packed. Our last visit the store was out of Diet Coke, limes and when my wife asked for cilantro on her street tacos she was told they would have to charge her for a higher priced taco meal if they did. We spent $40 this visit and you can’t give her .02c of cilantro. Again I blame bad management now. That .02c cost you a long time customer.

I highly recommend Qdoba! The food is consistently fresh, hot, and prepared quickly. Their queso is the Best! Excellent customer service/management as well
