He is a diehard Qdoba fan. He thought the burrito was good but he felt they were a little skimpy on the fillings.<\/p>\n<p>As for me, I really liked the idea of making my own street tacos. I got to decide what meats, cheeses, and other ingredients went in. That was all great until I realized that I had no idea what things go well together. When I go to Qdoba or Uno Mas or District Taqueria, I usually select something from their menu and make slight modifications (like no onions or jalapenos, etc.). Having to create a street taco from scratch is a lot trickier, specially if you are clueless about what flavors go well together like I am.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the concept is a lot like Chipotle. You decide what goes in your burrito, bowl, or taco so, ultimately, if it&#8217;s crappy it&#8217;s entirely your fault. LOL. However, since you are selecting the things that you like best, you can&#8217;t really go wrong. While I can&#8217;t go wrong, the downside for me is that it will take several visits to get it just right. Then again, maybe that&#8217;s the idea.<\/p>\n<p>I feel like it&#8217;s so much easier to just pick something from the menu. Deciding everything that I want in my taco takes so much more time and effort when all you want to do is just eat already. LOL.<\/p>\n<p>Also, their elote, though quite tasty, was not as good as the elote at Uno Mas. I think Uno Mas is still my favorite place to get tacos, hands down.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/48654566343\/in\/datetaken\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/48654566343_fd29ea13bb.jpg\" alt=\"Untitled\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I did really enjoy my cucumber lemonade drink. It was yummy and refreshing. I would go just for that! But also the food was decent and the price was right. I thought you got excellent value for your money.<\/p>\n<p>Bottom line, Brian isn&#8217;t a fan. I thought it was just okay. Good value for your money, though. We may or may not be back but at least we&#8217;ve finally crossed it off our list. Until next time.
