Qdoba

Awesome

Before I begin I would like to state that I am more of a Chipotle fan. This being said I have no bias against Qdoba.

I was in Peoria for an appointment at one, and not wanting to be hungry during I swung into Qdoba for a quick lunch. If you've been to Qdoba before, they are all about the same. Big menu boards with burrito combinations, Subway style topping tables for you to select from, and a fountain soda machine to serve yourself from.

I went in at lunchtime and as I expected it was very busy. Under these circumstances I was not annoyed by the long wait in line. The first guy in the burrito assembly line was an obvious vet. He mentally took down the first few toppings for your burrito and passed the info down the line. Things were great until it came time for the salsa. There were about 4 employees standing around staring and a line was backing up. Out of nowhere a female employee appeared and got things going again. It was weird, because it wasn't for a lack of stock that the line stopped. The same employee also had the vision to man a second register, thus increasing the speed of the line.

It is an ok place for a quick burrito, but unlike my fellow native Peorians, I do not see what makes it so "addictive."

Tasty and inexpensive, but I wish they had other sides besides chips and salsa.
