Title: Qdoba Street Team
Post by: QMkting on February 10, 2010, 02:36:56 PM
The Marquette Qdoba is looking for outgoing Marquette students for a Qdoba street team.  Please email lyops@roaring-fork.com if interested.  Did I mention there's free food involved?

My favorite sauce is the Mole sauce, which you cut...

TallTitan was only the Golden Eagle because there wasn't a Qdoba Burrito mascot suit available during his tenure.  You should PM him.

Yes, DQ became GW, which is now Qdoba.  And the old Blockbuster is now open pantry.

Cut Leann some slack.  I believe she first came on the board when the "Qdoba to the BC" thread was in full force back in 2008. And its not like she is selling Canadian drugs or Acai Berry juice. She had a legitimate question for current MU students.

She even knew to post this in the Super Bar.   ;)

Chipotle would be better if they didn't skimp on everything.  If I'm paying $6 for a burrito, that thing better have some girth to it.

I presume you are referencing the old OP spot on 16th by Bookmarq?  If so - last time I saw it, it was a place that MU allowed student organizations to use for practice.  I typically saw dance groups and those role playing groups (not the sexual ones, the ones from the movie "Role Models" - is there a name for them?)

It is called Liare in the moive: Live Action Interactive Roleplaying Explorers or LARP.

Just wasted some work time looking that up.  So you mean to tell me MU actaully has a sponsored group?
Title: Re: Qdoba Street Team
Post by: copious1218 on February 10, 2010, 04:49:58 PM
No idea if it's MU sponsored or if MU charges for use of the space, or if they plan on turning it into something else and people can use it freely upon request.  Just know that I have seen people in their with swords/maces/shields/etc.

I think we always used to call them the Dungeons and Dragons club.  They would have big events like at the end of Role Models across the street from Schroeder from time to time.  Pretty funny.

Anyway, have they still not even made an effort to get a business in there?  It's not like there aren't a dozen other locations around campus for groups to meet and practice (academic buildings, dorms, AMU).  And I'm guessing they moved the Registrar's Office to the new academic building?  Has anything gone in there?

As far as Qdoba and Chipotle, I tired of them both.  Last Chipotle experience was one of those previously mentioned $6 burritos that was way too small.  I was at the Qdoba on campus a few months ago; they didn't have any chicken but still charged me more for steak, and I had to wait a good five minutes for the steak to be available.  I almost went to OP for a burrito, but I'm still convinced that place is owned by the devil and that Wawa needs to expand to Wisconsin so OP goes out of business within four seconds.

Not sure if you are asking me directly or if its more of a general question, but I'll respond anyway.  I have no idea what's going on on campus for the most part.  I graduated in May and live on the East Side now (near the new Sobleman's Tall Grass - which isn't as good as the original, but can still appease the cravings every once in awhile).  I assume they are trying to put a business in the old OP but can't say what progress has been made.  I do believe the Registrar's office is in Zielber now though.

I saw them out there once in a while... I'm surprised nobody ever got the idea took it upon themselves to go up to the roof of the Wells structure with a water balloon launcher.  After all, there were all sorts of things launched out of trebuchets during medieval times, right?

I'm guessing that this must vary from store to store.  I've eaten quite a few Chipotle burritos (more than I should have).  The word "skimpy" has never come to mind.  I've only eaten at Qdoba a few times (there aren't many around here) and I've always thought they were about the same size -- certainly not bigger.  Maybe I ate at a Qdoba that was skimping on things compared to other locations.

Have you ever seen the Red Bull car with the huge can on it?

I'm assuming something similar.

Street team- A Street team is a term used in marketing to describe a group of people who 'hit the streets' promoting an event or a product. 'Street Teams' are a powerful promotional tool that has been adopted industry wide as a standard line item in marketing budgets by entertainment companies, record labels, the tech industry, corporate brand marketers, new media companies and direct marketers worldwide. Street team members that are highly trained are now called Brand Ambassadors

Qdoba Mexican Grill is a chain of fast casual "Fresh Mex" restaurants in the United States serving Mexican-style cuisine. The company is owned by Jack in the Box, having been owned and expanded by ACI Capital until 2003.[1]

Founder and Colorado native Anthony Miller and partner Robert Hauser opened the first restaurant in 1995. The Denver, Colorado, location was an immediate success with first year revenues exceeding $1,500,000. The cost of opening the 1,300-square-foot (120 m2) store was only $180,000.

The restaurants have gone through a few name changes. After initially opening as Zuma, the name was changed to Z-TECA Mexican Grill to avoid confusion with other Zuma Mexican restaurants. When that name was deemed to be too similar to Z'Tejas Southwestern Grill the name Qdoba was invented.

Qdoba now operates over 450 fast casual restaurant locations throughout the United States. In 2003, San Diego-based Jack in the Box company acquired the chain from a private investment firm called ACI Capital.[1]

Qdoba serves burritos made in the San Francisco burrito style, tacos, quesadillas, taco salads, Mexican gumbo, and fresh guacamole. The restaurant fits into the "fast casual" category, offering both quick service and a higher quality of food than typical fast-food restaurants. Customers order by selecting an entrée, then choosing its ingredients. All of the items are made in plain view of the customer. The chain's current slogan is "Hot, Mild, Medium? To go?"

Please. Chipotle is far superior. Better meats, better salsas, better rice, better chips, better guac... Just better.

I will say, however, that a properly-made queso burrito from Qdoba is the best item on either menu. Unfortunately, I've only ever had one that I would consider "properly made." Subsequent orders have failed to live up to that first taste of queso burrito goodness. I'll give the edge to Chipotle. It ain't even close.

You pay more at chipotle due to the quality of ingredients...  Food with Integrity, i.e. organic, free range, hormone free, etc etc.  

If you just want to be full after eating go to taco bell.

Can you really tell the difference between Qdoba chicken and Chipotle chicken?

I sure can't.

I don't eat the beef/pork at either place so I can't compare those.

Can't answer that. I want to say yes, but that would be a lie.


Unfortunately I haven't lived in a city that had Chipotle since 2003.  Nashville just got its first one about a month ago and I haven't been there yet.

Chipotle's meat is a bit spicier than Qdobas.

I used to be a big fan of Chipotle. I thought the rice was better, they used a lime or cilantro or something different... 
Then the combination of a Qdoba moving onto MU campus and other close locations, I switched my allegiance slightly.

Probably won't be able to tell the difference between them in a blind taste test
