Don't waste your time and money here. Just go to the Chipotle on Chauncey.Service: employees are slow, give inconsistent portion sizes. Good luck getting a meal within 30 minutes if the line is near the door. Managers (non-student staff) are rude to customers and student staff alike.Menu: swipe menu is inconsistent at best, and basic items are not available. No steak, fajita veggies only offered as a "protein", lettuce not available on burritos (which themselves are offered 50% of the time). These are unacceptable for a location that carries the Qdoba brand.Environment: much of the time, the meal swipe menu appears on the screen as though it was hastily prepared in Microsoft Word and the place often seems to close early. Customers are yelled at from the counter about maintaining an orderly line and not holding the doors open.I am convinced that customers are hostages to the convenient location and meal swipe availability. Every year, this one location teaches 10k Purdue graduates (many of whom have no prior exposure to Qdoba) that Qdoba is a low quality, mismanaged restaurant chain. Corporate should be stepping in to reform this location or close its doors, because it is producing a net negative for the brand.

Love getting meal swipes here but I have a bone to pick with the manager. I always see him treating his employees like trash and I don’t stand for that. But the last straw was today when he was wrapping my burrito and proceeded to furiously spray the toppings all over the counter and then basically threw the burrito over the counter. Didn’t offer to rewrap it. The employee next to him was clearly bewildered by his actions. This guy needs a new job cause he can’t manage anything even his own emotions.

Great place that accepts meal swipes. They often undercook the chicken however so I would not recommend that.

Honestly depends who is working.They do not charge a consistent rate.I order nachos 98% of time cheese is not filled. On time I got it filled to the right amount, but they gave 5 chips. I mostly did it on star ship, but last time I went on person, and same inconsistentlyand issues. Love the cups though.Like the cups.

We drove all the way here to realize that it's closed. For the love of God, update your hours please, because google told me it's open. I don't know if you know this, but saying things that aren't true is called lying. Very inconsiderate of my time. ?

Portion sizes are really small. Only 3 pieces of chicken in a burrito is crazy

I saw the negative reviews for this place but decided to try it out anyways so I ordered a pork carnitas bowl online. It arrived and somehow the worker forgot to add the meat so I ended up paying $11 for a little bit of rice and beans. Probably best you stay away from here if you can.

I asked for corn, pico, and verse salsa but the worker told me I can only choose two. But my friend ordered after me and got all three?? I don’t know why this happened but it doesn’t change the fact that this was unfair treatment

One of the (kinda) healthiest options you can get on Purdue campus! White/Brown rice with beans, your choice of protein, toppings, salsa, sauces and guacamole make for a delicious meal. They offer Rice Bowls/Burritos + A beverage for meal swipes and the portion size is decent. The tortilla chips are a hit or miss, sometimes they're too salty and other times, bland. There can be a long line during rush hours and if they stop service for a few minutes to refill the food, it can pile up. However, all in all, one of the best eats on campus!Vegetarian options: They have beans and grilled veggies for us vegans/vegetarians!

All customers to this store are hostages of the meal swipe system on campus. Frequently out of lettuce, tortillas, and other basic items. No steak at all. Staff couldn't work any slower and often grumpy. A shame on Qdoba's brand image. Do yourself a favor and eat at Chipotle on State St or make a sandwich at home.

Super annoying that the hours they have posted are never accurate and the quality of food that I receive is poor.
