Qdoba Menu and Prices June 2025: Guide to Every Item
I've been a regular at Qdoba for years now, and let me tell you, their menu has become my go-to when I'm craving fresh Mexican flavors. After spending way too much time (and money) trying everything on their menu, I figured it's time to share my complete guide to Qdoba's offerings, including all the current prices and calorie counts.

My Journey from Chipotle to Qdoba
I'll be honest - I used to be a die-hard Chipotle fan until I discovered Qdoba about three years ago. The game-changer for me? Their 3-cheese queso that's included at no extra charge. Yeah, you heard that right - while other places charge extra for queso and guac, Qdoba includes them in the base price. That alone made me switch teams.
What really sealed the deal was when I realized they make their salsas fresh in-store daily. The last time I was at their competitor, my corn salsa was literally frozen like a popsicle. Not cool (pun intended).

My Favorite Customizations
After trying practically everything, here are my go-to orders:
- My Perfect Bowl: I always get the bowl with cilantro-lime rice (trust me, it's way better than the brown rice), black beans, grilled adobo chicken, fajita veggies, pico de gallo, corn salsa, that amazing 3-cheese queso, sour cream, and lettuce. It comes to about 780 calories, and I'm full for hours.
- The "Secret" Quesarito: While Qdoba doesn't have an official secret menu, I've discovered you can ask nicely, and most locations will make you a burrito wrapped inside a cheese quesadilla. It's absolutely insane and probably around 1,400 calories, but sometimes you just gotta treat yourself.
Money-Saving Tips I've Learned
- Join the Rewards Program: Seriously, this is a no-brainer. You get free chips and queso just for signing up, plus you earn points on every purchase. I hit Gold Status after 12 visits and now get $2 chips and dip.
- Online Ordering Deals: They often have signature meal deals available only through their app or website. I've saved about $3-4 per meal this way.
- Family Meals: If you're feeding 4-6 people, some locations offer family meal deals that can save you quite a bit compared to individual orders.

What Makes Qdoba Different?
I've tried pretty much every fast-casual Mexican place out there, and here's what sets Qdoba apart:
- Free Premium Toppings: Unlike competitors, guac and queso don't cost extra
- More Protein Options: They've got everything from impossible meat to citrus lime shrimp
- Fresh Preparation: Everything's made fresh throughout the day
- Customization: With over 30 ingredients, you can create literally millions of combinations
Nutritional Considerations
If you're watching your calories like I sometimes do, here are my tips:
- Skip the tortilla and get a bowl (saves 300 calories)
- Choose brown rice over white (more fiber)
- Load up on fajita veggies (only 35 calories!)
- Get salsa instead of queso if you're really trying to be good
- The citrus lime shrimp is the lowest-calorie protein at 120 calories
Recent Menu Changes
I've noticed some changes recently. The Craft 2 menu (which I loved) has been discontinued at most locations. Same with the Knockout Tacos. But they've added some great new items like the Habanero Lime Steak and brought back the fan-favorite Mango Salsa for a limited time.
Final Words
Look, I'm not saying Qdoba is perfect - sometimes the consistency varies between locations, and yeah, prices have gone up a bit. But when I'm craving customizable Mexican food with fresh ingredients and don't want to pay extra for the good stuff, Qdoba's my spot.
The ability to get exactly what I want, with premium toppings included, makes it worth the price. Plus, their rewards program actually gives you free food pretty regularly if you're a frequent visitor like me.
Next time you're there, try my perfect bowl combination - and don't forget to get that 3-cheese queso. You can thank me later!
Prices may vary by location and are subject to change. Calorie counts are estimates based on standard portions.
