Paul, FWIW I went to a Qdoba a couple of months back. The only reason I did was because it was close. IMHO it is a shell of Chipotle. Presentation, food quality and food temperature just not there compared to CMG, at least at this location. OT but related to the prior discussion (Suma are you listening?) I went to a Burger King with my DW the other day (again because it was there), and she got a salad with "grilled" chicken. That salad was really poor - some dried out veggies in a small tray over the lettuce, which you dumped on to lettuce underneath. The "grilled" chicken had been grilled (somewhat) before, then frozen, I'm guessing. It came to DW in a bag after being microwaved, none too appealing. She barely touched this culinary delight. Compare this to the McD's salads, which are nicely prepared and presented, and tasty, no wonder the golden arches guys are doing better in this space. |
