QDOBA guide
QDOBA menu, nutrition facts and ordering guide
QDOBA's US menu is built around ingredient choices. A bowl, burrito, taco or salad can contain different rice, beans, proteins, salsas and toppings, so there is no single nutrition total for every order with the same format. Our QDOBA nutrition calculator follows those decisions in separate steps, with a compact live summary that updates as you choose. You can also add source-listed signature recipes, sides, fixed-size drinks and desserts to an order before calculating the final meal.
The nutrition figures here were checked against QDOBA's official Nutrition Brochure published February 26, 2026, on November 8, 2026. We use US entries, excluding entries explicitly labeled Canada. The brochure is a source for standard portions, not a live list of what every restaurant has in stock. Prices remain Varies because we have not confirmed an official price for a named QDOBA location. Our site is independent of QDOBA.
Choose a format before adding fillings
Start with a bowl, a burrito tortilla, salad romaine, a crunchy salad shell or one taco shell or tortilla. These entries describe the container or base only. A tortilla choice is not a completed burrito, and a taco shell does not include meat, cheese or salsa. Continue through the ingredient steps to add the fillings you actually want. If you choose a single taco, use portions appropriate to that taco rather than assuming that full entrée scoops are a published taco recipe.
A bowl adds no tortilla calories by itself, but it still includes every filling you select. A burrito adds the documented tortilla values to those fillings. Salad dressing is a separate choice. For more than one taco, quantities and divided filling portions must be considered carefully: multiplying a full entrée build is not equivalent to dividing its ingredients among several shells. Any portion adjustment not published as its own source serving is an estimate.
Pick rice and beans separately
The rice step offers cilantro lime rice and seasoned brown rice, each at the brochure's named standard serving. The bean step offers black beans and pinto beans separately. You may skip either step, or compare your usual rice-and-bean order with an alternative. Calories, protein, carbs, fat and sodium update with each decision. Choosing a different rice does not silently change the beans or the protein, which makes side-by-side comparisons easier to understand.
Light and Extra are planning multipliers, not promises about the restaurant's scoop. Light models half of the selected published serving and Extra models twice that serving. Either makes the custom total an Estimate. Even a regular portion can vary in practice because food is prepared by hand. The calculator uses the source portion as a reference rather than claiming to measure the bowl assembled at your chosen restaurant.
Compare proteins without guessing new recipes
The builder includes source-listed grilled adobo chicken, grilled steak, Cholula Hot & Sweet Chicken, pork carnitas, brisket birria, ground beef and a plant-based Impossible entry marked for select locations. These are distinct recipes with distinct serving values. Choose the one available at your restaurant, and read its portion in the option label. A current local menu may not offer every entry in the brochure. If a seasonal protein is missing, do not substitute another recipe's nutrition and call it verified.
For a higher-protein comparison, build a regular meal first, then try Extra protein while leaving the remaining ingredients unchanged. The modeled double serving raises other nutrients as well as protein, and may change the local price. The calculator does not establish your personal protein requirement. If you have a medical diet or need individualized targets, use current official information and consult a qualified professional rather than treating a goal label as health advice.
Layer vegetables, salsas and dressings
Vegetables and crunch have their own step, followed by salsas and dressings. Options include fajita vegetables, lettuce, pickled toppings, cilantro and tortilla strips, alongside source-listed salsas and dressings. The labels keep the serving sizes visible. Multiple selections add multiple portions to the total. Choosing another salsa does not replace the first unless you deselect it, so review the ingredient list to make sure it matches what you plan to order.
Calories do not tell the whole story about these additions. A low-calorie salsa can still contribute sodium, while a dressing may change fat and calories more noticeably. The US citrus vinaigrette entry is used rather than the separately listed Canada recipe. Allergy safety is a different question from nutrient totals: consult QDOBA's current allergen information and staff about shared equipment, preparation and cross-contact rather than relying on our ingredient cards.
Finish with queso, guacamole and dairy toppings
The final ingredient step includes documented queso, guacamole, shredded cheese, sour cream and cotija servings. Where the brochure publishes two sizes, each is a separate option with its own values. Choose one size per topping unless you intentionally want both servings. For example, adding two guacamole size entries means adding both amounts, not selecting a single intermediate serving. Published size entries are kept separate because rounding can make them differ from simple multiplication.
Do not assume that a topping included in an offer has no nutrition contribution. Cost and nutrient content are separate. You can compare a bowl with queso against the same bowl with another topping, or include several if that is your actual order. A side of queso is not automatically the same serving as an entrée topping. Check the named portion before adding it, and avoid counting a topping twice when it is already present in a signature recipe.
Review the entire order before calculating
The order review combines your custom builds and selected menu entries. You can adjust quantities and add documented sides, fixed-size drinks and desserts. A signature recipe already includes the ingredients in the brochure's standard recipe; adding separate ingredient entries means adding extra food on top, not customizing that recipe by removal. Use the ingredient builder when you want control over individual components. Use a signature entry when you want the published complete recipe.
Press Calculate after reviewing the order to see final calories, macros, sodium and the meal-budget comparison. Live summaries support ingredient selection, while the final results appear only after that action. The budget is a general planning aid, not a personalized prescription. Price stays Varies for QDOBA orders because no named-location amount has been confirmed. Missing prices are not treated as free food, and the calculator is not connected to restaurant checkout.
Check prices, availability and corrections
Open QDOBA's official ordering service, choose the actual US restaurant address and select pickup or delivery before checking a price. Confirm the format, protein, extras and sides in the basket. Review tax, fees and offers separately from the item amount. A price from one restaurant or ordering channel should not be presented as a nationwide figure. If you share a receipt in our community, hide personal and payment information and include the purchase date and location.
The linked brochure and our last-checked date help readers audit the source. They do not promise that every future recipe change is already reflected here. If you spot a mismatch, email be@well.now with the ingredient name, serving, source link and disputed field. Check our Sources & Methodology and Editorial Policy pages for how we distinguish published figures, calculated combinations and estimates. Our related QDOBA articles explain bowl calories, high-protein comparisons and location-specific price checking in more detail.
Frequently asked questions
