I've had both. I loved the Chipotle in BG because they always gave away free burritos. I remember they gave free ones away for Halloween. All you had to do was have a costume on with foil. I let my pants sag, tilted my hat, and put some foil on my teeth for grillz. Told them I was a rapper and got a free b.

The Queso from Qdoba got them the nod for me.

Sandusky is finally getting a Chipotle as well though, but from the ones I've tried, I'd easily take Qdoba.

My two favorites are deceased.

Chipoltle-everything is hot-I can't eat there

Does Qdoba have anything that isn't super spicy? If they do, I will try it and vote for them. I like mild sauce, but stronger than that I can't handle. Wimpy eater. Wife on the other hand is Chipoltle, hands down, #1, could eat there very frequently and often drives 90 miles total for some large mixture of hot spicy stuff plus corn stuff.

my mom tells me that the reason i like mexican food so much is because while she was pregnant with me, she ate Zantigo's nonstop. Anytime i mention it to anyone though they've never heard of it. heck i was really really little when i went there before it close in lancaster, and i still remember right where it was.

We walk past La Bambas on High Street every friday for our weekly Chipotle holiday. Is it good? My roommate refused to eat any Mexican other than Chipotle burritos...

If any of you are in the Toledo area, do yourself a favor and eat the best food (big claim, but I have very little doubt) in the world: San Marcos. It's on Broadway next to the high level bridge on the west side. The place is so authentic it's like they got off the truck yesterday. It's actually a grocery store but they have a taco bar in the back. The (steak) quesadillas and (steak) tacos are OUT OF THIS WORLD. ..and the burrito is solid too. The have some green Mexican sauce form jalapenos that is heavenly too. My sister went to culinary school at the Culinary Institute of America, and she swears this is the best food she's ever had. She brought another CIA grad with her once and even she agreed. It's like they put cocaine in it or something.

La Bambas is good if you get there around 2:30 am. It really isn't all that great when you are sober but you should probably try it at least one time. Chirizo in a burrito as big as your head and you will sleep well.

I will have to make a trip to San Marcos sometime.

Chipotle, and I don't think it is even really close. Qdoba is good, and has SOME ingredients that actually taste better than Chipotle's (i.e., Qdoba's queso sauce), but Chipotle's burrito shells and rice are far superior than Qdoba's.

Qdoba, by far. Chipotle's chicken sucks. Queso Chicken Burrito = GOAT.

This. Qdoba's burritos and tacos are a bit bland for my taste. The Mexican gumbo and taco salads at "Doba are great if you want something other than a burrito, though.

You will not regret it. I am going this Wednesday when I get back for Thanksgiving break. I'm more excited about that than I am turkey day.

My advice: be prepared for a "hole in the wall" environment, seriously. I am getting like four steak tacos and two steak quesadillas when I get back. Ooooohhhhh man.




San Marcos > Chipotle > Qdoba

Chipotle is great, head and shoulders above Qdoba
however, in recent months Moe's has lept past Qdoba on my list.
Simply because of customization. Moe's has different sizes of burritos, and will let you put so many different items in them that I am now a convert after long being anti Moes.
