Qdoba Mexican Grill - Mercer Island

Wow! This place is amazing! Everything is perfect! If you're looking for the best, you've come to the right spot!

It feels like it’s been over a year since I last visited a Qdoba, and it’s clear they’ve really stepped up their game! While you can usually request cilantro at other places, here it's readily available at the counter, along with purple onions, which I always ask for extra. The restaurant is very clean, and the staff is friendly. Plus, they have one of those Coke Freestyle machines!

I'm not usually a fast food fan, but I have a soft spot for Qdoba. It serves its purpose for me, especially when I'm in an area lacking good independent restaurants. What I appreciate about Qdoba is the wide variety of options available, including plenty of vegetarian choices. You can customize your meal to create a fresh and healthy bowl, burrito, or salad. I typically go for a bowl with cilantro rice, pinto beans, fajita vegetables, pico de gallo, corn, habanero salsa, and guacamole. However, there are so many combinations within each category that I never feel bored with my options. The consistency across locations is impressive; I've dined in dozens of Qdoba restaurants, and the food is always prepared the same way. The establishments are consistently clean, and the staff is well-trained, friendly, and efficient.

Internal installation. Small but efficient staff. Happy to come back.
