“The food is excellent! I specifically recommend the Guacamole Loreto w/roasted corn as an appetizer, and Carnitas La Rumorosa as an entree. That entree is easily enough for two meals, maybe three. And this drink! El Verde: Basil puree, freshly squeezed orange and lime juice, sea salt, and Silver Mezcal. Also worth mentioning, they gladly made a plain/simple "just cheese" quesadilla, and they were overall kind about my kid being... a kid.”

“The food was good, customer service could have been better. I always look for server to offer 2nd fill up on water or whatever you drink. She did not come to table to see if we need ed more drinks. Comfortable setting reason for 4 rating, it was cold in there.”

“Had a great experience at Qdoba on Som Center Road! The food was fresh and flavorful, and I loved being able to customize my bowl exactly how I wanted it. The staff was friendly and quick, even though it was fairly busy when I stopped in. Portions were generous for the price, and everything tasted like it had been made recently rather than sitting around. The restaurant itself was clean and well-kept, which always makes a difference. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in the area — highly recommend if you’re craving a solid, casual Mexican meal.”

The grand prize includes two game tickets, hotel accommodations, flight vouchers, and a $300 Visa gift card. A hundred runner-up winners each receive a $25 El Pollo Loco gift card.
