QDOBA Mexican Eats

I’m so frustrated how it feels impossible to find food when traveling. I went here and the people refused to help me and kept telling me to use the ap but I couldn’t find the menu there. After 5-10 minutes someone said they looked it up and said I can’t have rice. They have no clue. Celiac is a disability and it infuriates me that there are zero options for food. I wound up with a cup of yogurt from a kiosk. I pack food when departing but am always out of luck on the return.

Is there a gluten-free menu?

— No gluten-free information on the menu

The burrito bowl seems to be the safest thing here, and it’s not bad. Based on the items in their assembly line there seems to be a relatively low chance of cross-contamination (the tortillas aren’t kept near open food). I didn’t get glutened. Just FYI, there isn’t really anything GF after security in Terminal A (other than candy).

When I got off of my plane with a long layover at EWR, I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to find anything but salad to eat. I did some searching online and found that QDOBA had gluten free options. The best bet is the burrito bowl, but there are some taco options too. The girl working there changed her gloves automatically, I didn’t even have to tell her about my celiac. It was prepared right in front of me so I know there was no cross contamination. It is the best (if not only) way to eat GF besides a salad without spending a fortune. My meal was only $13

Celiac friendly?

Yes

So good and so many choices. Lots of protein and topping choices for burrito bowls and quick friendly service

Enjoyed a delicious and safe bowl! The staff changed their gloves, and I used the online ingredients to know what was safe - Guac and queso were so good and portions were a good size!

I stopped here before my flight and felt safe. I asked what items had gluten and they confirmed only the tortillas, chips, and brownies. I made a bowl and they grabbed fresh rice for me to help avoid cross contamination.

I mentioned I was gluten free, the gal helping me asked if I would like her to change her gloves. I said yes please. She also grabbed multiple little cups to scoop the items I selected for my bowl. They told me the seasonings on the meat selections were gluten free but the chips and tortillas were not cause they were fried in the same oil as other things. They were very understanding and helpful. And the gal even put the little cups in a different area for each item that hadn’t had anything scooped out of it so I would be safer to avoid cross contamination. Happy with their knowledge.

Everything seems to be gluten free except for the our tortillas. I always order a bowl. I have eaten here 15+ times and have never had a bad experience.
