Rants and Raves about Whatever the F**k I want

Baja Fresh vs. Qdoba

I’ve been wanting to rave about Baja Fresh for a while, but I’ve had nothing to compare it to. Well, tonight I decided to try Qdoba just to spice things up a bit and, man, I don’t think I’ll ever choose them over BF again. I used to be kind of anti-Baja Fresh, since Nashville has Baja Burrito and used to have Chez Jose, both fresh-mex establishments with similar appeal. Being a national chain, I naturally tried to avoid Baja Fresh until absolutely necessary (read: “until I was too lazy to drive to Baja Burrito”). So anyway, I promised a comparison, so here it is:

Qdoba
Baja Fresh
(-) No Salsa Bar (+) 7 bowl salsa bar
(-) Have to pay for chips (+) Chips come with every burrito
(-) Tortillas are soft and gooey (+) Tortillas are grilled and crispy
(-) they charge you for grilled peppers,
even when you’ve ordered the grilled veggie burrito
(+) Grilled peppers are part of the deal
(-) Feels like the store is run by kids (+) Feels like the store is run by adults
(+) To be fair, they do have a nice parking lot (-) The parking behind the building is kinda sketchy

More to come….
