Qdoba Mexican Grill - Mercer Island

OMG! Here rules! All right! You want the best you have.

I feel like it's been over a year since I visited a Qdoba, and it really seems that they've upset their game! You can almost always get Cilantro in other places on request, but I guess as here they have it on the line, along with purple onions that I always ask for extra. Really clean location and friendly staff. You also have one of these Coke Remix machines.

I'm definitely not a fast food person, but I like Qdoba and it serves a purpose for me, especially if I have to eat in an area that doesn't have many good independent restaurants. I like Qdoba because there are a variety of options (including tons of vegetarian choices) that you choose how to move the line so that you have a very fresh tasting and healthy bowl, burrito or salad. Most often I get a bowl with Zilantro rice, Pinto beans, Fajita vegetables, pico de gallo, corn and Habanero salsa and guacammole. But there are many possibilities in each of these categories so that you can mix it and not get bored. The shops are very consistent. I have eaten in dozens of them and the food is always the same prepared, the shops are always clean, the staff are well trained, beautiful and efficient.

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