| - We had a late meeting today and got out at around 8ish. It was waaaaay too late to think about going home and cooking so we decided to try out something more fast foodish that we haven't been to yet. I remembered seeing Qdoba on our many Birkdale shopping extravaganzas so I figured it was the perfect opportunity to check the place out.
Situated on the corner in front of the movie theater, Qdoba is one of the more convenient restaurants to get to since the theater's parking lot is right there. The menu and layout is similar to that of Moe's/Chipolte, in that you basically build your own tacos, burritos, quesidillas, etc. from their Subway-esque setup of fixins.
I went with three hard shell tacos with pulled pork. The pork was a bit flavorless by itself, and I had to go with the green Tabasco sauce to give it some "umph." I also popped some lettuce and corn salsa in there, and it was ok, but not great.
The miss' had a veggie burrito which was a bit better than mine. She loaded it up with veggies, beans, rice, guac and some other stuff, and those flavors melded together pretty well.
In the end, Qdoba doesn't have much going for it. If I want tacos in Birkdale, I'm going to Baja Soul. If I want to make my own burrito and I'm not in Birkdale, I'll drive over to Moe's in the Target plaza. I'll always view Qdoba as Moe's little brother who hasn't quite matured yet. Not that I'd be adverse to going back, but there are simply better fast food/counter service Mexican restaurants in the area that are superior to Qdoba.
