Qdoba Menu Prices and Calories

On create-your-own entrées, yes, with a limit. Qdoba's store-page FAQ says the first portion of hand-crafted guac and 3-cheese queso is free, and extra portions are subject to a charge. Store menu text says bowls, burritos and taco trios can be topped with guac and queso for free, and quesadillas come with guac and sour cream with queso as a free add. The pages do not give a price for extra portions.

At some restaurants. Four of the 16 store pages checked list Breakfast among their services (two in Denver, one in San Diego and one in Minneapolis), and the two Denver stores opened at 6:30 AM on weekdays. Qdoba does not publish chain-wide breakfast hours, so check your restaurant's page.
