Qdoba is a restaurant like Chipotle, Uberrito, or Freebirds, and has that same assembly-line style burrito making magic. I love these places, and while my favorite is Freebirds they’re all absolutely wonderful and have tons of vegan options.

Not only is it pretty affordable, at least for eating out, but Qdoba gives vegans/vegetarians a discount — having the vegan (no-meat) entree saves you about 10% off your order at Qdoba, or if you get Vegan-meat (Impossible Meat) it’s about the same as the non-vegan meats.

So how does Qdoba look for a vegan?
Dang near perfect — especially with the recent addition of Impossible Meat to the menu.
If you want an extra-big meal like most places like Qdoba (such as freebirds or chipotle) you can ask for all of the things for free, as in both beans and both rices if you want. In fact, like I do, you can ask for extra on top of that if you really want to.
Uniquely though, at Qdoba I’ve heard they technically will give unlimited guacamole too, for free, but I haven’t tried that. But it’s always free (unlike at Chipotles/freebirds) to have a little at least like I get, so if you like Guac make sure to get it!
Are Qdoba’s Chips Vegan-Friendly?
Yes they’re 100% Vegan-friendly — they’re fried in vegetable oil and don’t have any strange non-vegan stuff added to them.
