Chipotle vs Qdoba

This debate comes down to one simple factor: how much do you enjoy queso? It's no question that queso at Qdoba is quite exquisite. Chipotle is on the other hand is lacking in the queso department. They have it but it's not great. That said Chipotle is pound for pound dominating Qdoba in every other aspect. The Chipotle grilled veggies, protein options, and tortilla chips are leagues better than Qdoba. Chipotle's ability to cater to vegetarians, and vegans with sofritas, does put them a step ahead.That said you do have to pay for extras at Chipotle, so if you love everything slathered in guac, then you will save money at Qdoba. The up charge for guacamole at Chipotle definitely matters, but most people that prefer this chain don't even opt for it. That's because the ingredients across the board tend to be weak at Qdoba; however, they at least don't have as many health scares as Chipotle.
