“On a scale of 1-5, I give it a 10!!!

I had an amazing time here! The vibe and music created the perfect atmosphere, and the ladies working there, were cool and very knowledgeable about the menu. The place was clean and the food quality was outstanding.

I ordered the “cheese-crusted” quesadilla with brisket-Birria, which is now my favorite thing on the menu! I highly recommend getting fajitas and getting a side of salsa verde—it's pretty legit! 😍

Overall, I had a true 5-star experience. QDOBA is definitely way better than Chipotle! Don’t miss out on this gem.

Special shout-out to Alma, if she’s not the manager, she should be! Thank you Alma! 🤘“

“Hi, I was just at the bar and got 55 bill and paid 70 cash... I think the bartender misunderstood and put 60 so he might have only got 2 because I asked for 3 back.
Please make sure this is corrected? I didnt have time to ask or double check since my flight already started boarding but as I was leaving I had this icky feeling about this! 😟I think he counted wrong and put 60...because I saw on the screen 5 something.
Fyi everything was great but steak was tough to chew“

“Great views. Was seated right away. Host/server asked if I preferred bar or table and when I said table even offered a choice of two (traveling alone this was very much appreciated). My server Mary was very sweet, prompt, sure to refill water and I didn't feel rushed (plane delays). I had a Mezcal marg (good) and the green chili chicken burrito (also good and I couldn't even finish it). Prices were decent compared to other airport options. Great views of planes with several tables along terminal. No complaints.“
