QDOBA Mexican Eats - Franchise

QDOBA® HAS BEEN SERVING FRESHLY PREPARED, FLAVORFUL MEXICAN-INSPIRED FARE SINCE 1995.
With more than 700+ locations in 47 states, our footprint and loyal fan base are some of the reasons we're a leading brand in the Mexican fast-casual restaurant space. And we’re growing, with room to fill in existing markets and expand into new ones with passionate operators like you.

Our menu includes classics like tacos, burritos, and nachos as well as seasonal options like mango salsa. We freshly prepare our delicious food in-house, grilling, slicing, dicing, spicing, smashing, braising, and sautéing every single day. And our guests can’t get enough. They love our hand-smashed guacamole, freshly grilled chicken and steak, hand-diced pico de gallo, and slow roasted pulled pork. And don’t forget our craveable queso. Our fans don’t.

Spanning a variety of dayparts, from breakfast to late night and everything in between, we appeal to a broad range of demographics. By offering the most ingredients in the Mexican restaurant space we keep guests coming back for more.

QDOBA is growing, and our franchisees are seeing consistent returns. So explore this site to learn more about franchising opportunities and connect with us to discuss how you can join the team!
