The QDOBA Difference

Our fresh mix sets the table for Franchise Owners. No microwaves. No freezers. No can openers. From our tacos and burritos to our hand-smashed guac and queso, guests love our fresh flavors and customizable menu. We’re a category leader committed to serving our customers and driving revenue for our Franchise Owners through innovation and improvement.

Chef Katy
Our extensive menu was created by our Executive Chef Katy Velazquez, a James Beard Award winner and Emmy nominee.

Craveable Flavors

Guests love our fresh ingredients and made-to-order menu items. All-inclusive entrees come with hand-smashed guac and queso at no additional charge. And, our customizable menu makes QDOBA a healthy franchise option for those with special dietary needs or preferences (vegan, allergy conscious and more) and allows for more efficient inventory management.

Bold Growth Opportunities

QDOBA offers ample market availability across the country, in both traditional and nontraditional locations. We have over 25 years of experience and give extensive support and training to our Franchise Owners.
