Title: Chipotle or Qdoba?
Post by: wadesworld on August 19, 2014, 12:33:50 PM
Pretty self explanatory.  Who prefers Chipotle and who prefers Qdoba?

And if your choice is Qdoba, can anybody give a reason that is not, "Chipotle doesn't have queso sauce" (which is nasty)?

Chipotle is better at what they both do..burritos.

Qdoba has a bigger menu, their quesadillas are pretty good.

There was also a time when the Chipotle on on Ogden would give you a free burrito for a canned good.

TT34 and I ate there twice a day for an entire week only paying with a case of Aldi green beans. It was heaven.

I used to love Qdoba, then I read about how everything is prepackaged, and they reuse ingredients far longer than they should (all according to company protocol). Chipotle, meanwhile, cooks nearly everything in-house.

I do miss my chicken queso burrito from time to time though.

Also, at Chipotle, you can order quesadillas. As well as a quesarito - burrito wrapped in a quesadilla.

Whoever says Qdoba, probably prefers Taco Bell any way.

I'm having a hard time believing that anyone would even seriously ask this question.

Chipotle.  It's not even close.  Not even worth discussing.  I'm actually a little sad and offended that it even came up.  And we have friends who own some Qdoba franchises.

It used to be a preference toss up.  I preferred Qdoba for the longest time.  Chipotle had a spice to their meat I didn't enjoy, bad chips, I liked Qdoba's Pico de Gallo better.  But once Chipotle spun off from McDonalds and then began their "green" campaign and practices, if you will, the gap emerged and widened.  I used to have Qdoba by my old office that I went to and it wasn't the same.  Much smaller portions, clearly not as fresh.  The only issue I have with Qdoba is the fact that $1.95 for guac on a burrito or bowl is highway robbery.

Try to use logic, and take emotion out of it....then reach deep down and you'll pick out the winner between Chipotle and Qdoba.

I've said plenty of constructive things in the other thread.  I've been able to factually tell one poster what the actual age of the victim was.  I've been able to factually explain to a poster that injuries were reported almost immediately despite his insistence they weren't.  I've been able to factually provide evidence about what a certain drug can do to SOME people around aggression.  So on and so forth, all kinds of constructive, fact based contributions. 

You may think that people chase you around to see what you are commenting on in other threads, but let me put that to rest for you.  When in doubt, you might want to just flip a coin on Chipotle or Qdoba.

At least keep this contained to the other thread. 

A person clicks on the "Chipotle or Qdoba" thread just hoping to engage in some light-hearted jokes at the expense of Qdoba, which is so clearly inferior.

Not much of a difference in taste between the two.  Eff the green spin.

Quota gets the nod for habanero salsa and Chalua sauce. 

Both are good.

Never had Qdoba, but have unfortunately had Chipotle. Chipotle is overpriced, tasteless garbage. I can go to almost any taqueria and get a much better meal for almost half the price, all while supporting small businesses

Chipotle.  Though I'm less of a fan now that they raised prices, are skimping more on the meat, and remembering to charge me when I get double meat.

Yet you probably drink Miller Lite at the Bradley Center which costs more than a Chipotle burrito, is tasteless garbage, and supports a large corporation.

Sure I do, because I'm in a captive environment with limited choices when I'm at a sporting event

Nice try though

That spending has put Marc Marotta's ex into sensibly sized living quarters in Mequon. The Director of Sustainability of Miller Brewing understands that she should lead from the front by impeccable example. She refused to build anything larger than 15,000 sf of living space for her family of five. There are only so many resources to go around and Kim Marotta means business when it comes to responsible choices.

You're cool.

Chipotle.

Qdoba isn't on the west coast because it is simply smaller.  Really this is like arguing what is better McDonalds or Burger King.  One can have a preference, but let's not act like there is a huge gulf between them.

Typical arrogant Bay Area snob. Last I looked Seattle is on the west coast. Niners suck.

Now, as for Qdoba or Chipotle I would say neither. Seattle has some great taqueria trucks that serve incredible Mexican fare. Also, there is a phenomenal Oaxacan place in Ballard that puts all of it to shame.

I have never liked either one.  Don't like Moes either.  It might just be that I am not picking the right combination of ingredients. 

What do you guys order that tastes so good?  My burritos always end up being a bland sloppy mess.

Chipotle.

Not only is Qdoba in the west coast (and 46 states in total), their headquarters are in California and they certainly have stores in Cali.

Like Chipotle who was once mostly funded by McDonald's, Qdoba is backed by a burger company... Jack In The Box, which I believe is a verb, purchased Qdoba more than a decade ago.

Both are fine for bland food.

I'm currently eating Wendy's and it's good.

I think they are both out of Colorado but I could be mistaken.

I had a burrito bowl for lunch with: white rice, black beans, the fajitas, chicken, mild salsa, hot salsa, sour cream, cheese, and lettuce. It was most excellent.

Both originated in Denver, and have their headquarters here (Denver and Wheat Ridge).  But, Qdoba is owned by California-based Jack in the Box.
