I wish I knew the name of the worker I'm talking about, but I always forget to ask or look for a name tag. He is the reason I come to this location, he is so kind and always makes my food perfect, (I'm a vegetarian and picky about new gloves/contamination). I came here the other day when they were completely out of chips and a couple other things and I still left satisfied based on how well he took care of me and the customers. I even saw the ones that walked out empty handed due to lack of ingredients still left with a smile after talking to him. He stayed in a good mood and handled the stress incredibly. He is amazing and definitely deserves a raise. He's tall, I'm guessing 20s and dark skinned. As long as he works there, this location will definitely be my favorite.

One of the better qdoba’s in the area. Came in on 2/11 in the evening everything was still stocked, the restaurant was very clean, and the workers were very nice. Definitely applaud the staff working this night after a long day they greeted us with a smile and also made us smile!
