Qdoba Mexican Grill - 25243 Evergreen Road, Southfield

Sergei choose to forgo the daily lunch munch as he refuses to eat Mexican food from a strip mall. We disagree with Sergei and find his bias unfounded. At lunch time the place is crowded, noisy, and at first glance there appears to be a pretty long line to order and customize our meals. Although the line is long, we move through it quickly, and at first sight the food looks great! Qdoba also has a frequent diner program that rewards repeat customers with a free meal after purchasing ten, with no expiration. We choose to eat outside because the long line in the restaurant makes for the seating arrangements to be a bit cramped and noisy. Well, the line is long at Qdoba Mexican Grill for a reason.



The food met and even exceeded its aesthetic appeal. I ordered the nachos with pulled pork. The pork was tender and very flavorful, and the hot salsa was just hot enough, without drowning the other flavors. The King ordered a unique fusion dish that Qdoba aptly named Mexican Gumbo. The dish seems to be cross between a tortilla soup and a burrito bowl that you enjoy with a spoon. He ordered his with chicken, black beans, and Qdoba's hot salsa. Although he prefers a Chicken Caesar Wrap for lunch, he was very satisfied with the Mexican Gumbo and would order it again. The portions are large, and the prices are relatively low. That lands Qdoba Mexican Grill high on the value scale. Our meals were in the $6-$7 range.

Well done, Qdoba, well done.

Ole!

  2. That's confidential young lady. If we reveal our true identities, we will loose our ability to dine undercover, resulting in the blog's loss of legitimacy and fortitude.
