For those with a taste for cuisine from south of the border, Qdoba Mexican Grill is now open in Glen Eagle Square. Perhaps Qdoba is also for people who are looking to expand the range of their taste buds. The new restaurant — a national chain based in Denver — bills itself as offering “food for people who love food.”

“We strive to offer unique flavors,” said store Manager Andrew Berolini.

The restaurant’s marketing niche is described as “fast, casual Mexican restaurant” where patrons can build their own burritos, quesadillas and tacos.

“You name it, we can make it for you,” he said.

There are also, what the chain refers to as, “signature flavors.” Those flavors include a three-cheese queso sauce, a ranchera sauce and a mole-inspired barbecue sauce. Mole refers to a number of different sauces including black, red, yellow, Colorado (another name for red), green, almendrado and pipian.

There are also a number of other proprietary sauces available. Bertolini would not reveal any information about those sauces.

He did say, however, that the single thing Qdoba is known for is their “big, fat burritos.”

Tim Warfield, a member of the group’s marketing team, added that Qdoba’s main focus is on “providing food for people who love food. We, ourselves, are food fanatics. Our three-cheese queso is actually to die for.”

The restaurant is open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. It has a rewards program in which, once a person is signed up, every 10th entrée is free. There is also double-point Tuesday where those entrée points are doubled. Two entrées are counted as four.

The average check runs between $9 and $10, Bertolini said.

Patrons can also order online and a mobile app will soon be available.

The restaurant and members of the Delaware County Chamber of Commerce held a small ribbon-cutting ceremony on Oct. 12.
