Qdoba nutrition facts depend on the complete recipe and serving size. Our QDOBA menu guide covers the menu categories; this page explains calories, protein, carbohydrates, fat and sodium using named meals and stated ingredient portions.
The selected figures below were checked on November 4, 2026 against the November 3, 2026 official nutrition PDF. Use QDOBA’s nutrition and allergen resources to find later versions and check regional or limited-time products. This independent guide does not measure restaurant portions or provide personalized dietary advice.
Compare one unchanged standard meal with another, or add the individual ingredients of a custom order. Mixing both methods can double-count ingredients. Prices and local availability need a separate check in your restaurant’s ordering menu.
Explore selected ingredient servings
The ingredient explorer below adds one listed serving per selection. It is a limited comparison tool, not the complete menu. For quantity controls and named standard meals, use the QDOBA calories calculator. Allergen flags cannot establish whether a prepared meal is safe for an allergy.

How to Use the Qdoba Nutrition Calculator and Official Guide
The most reliable way to estimate your meal’s nutritional content is to use current official information for the ingredients you select.
You can start with the QDOBA nutrition and allergen page and review the available nutrition guide.
For a customised meal, follow this process:
- Choose your entrée type, such as a bowl, burrito, salad or tacos.
- Identify the ingredients included in the standard preparation.
- Add the nutritional values for any extra toppings or additional protein.
- Account for any ingredients you remove or replace.
- Check the allergen information separately if necessary.
- Confirm the figures against the current guide before making a dietary decision.
A custom meal’s total is only as accurate as its ingredient and portion estimates. Restaurant portions can vary, and seasonal or limited-time menu items may have separate nutrition information.
Need to add several servings or compare a named meal? Open the calories and macros calculator. Keep a record of each ingredient and portion; neither tool verifies your restaurant’s actual serving size.
Qdoba nutrition table for selected standard meals
Each row describes the named standard build in the official November 3, 2026 guide. It does not include a separate drink or side unless stated in that meal’s published description. Substitutions and extra portions change the comparison.
| Meal | Calories | Protein | Carbs | Fat | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chicken Queso Bowl | 750 | 43 g | 74 g | 33 g | 1820 mg |
| Chicken Queso Burrito | 1050 | 51 g | 126 g | 40 g | 2580 mg |
| Cholula® Hot & Sweet Chicken Bowl | 610 | 31 g | 77 g | 20 g | 1500 mg |
| Citrus Lime Chicken Salad | 520 | 31 g | 46 g | 26 g | 1210 mg |
| Fajita Vegan Bowl | 510 | 16 g | 79 g | 16 g | 1380 mg |
| Quesabirria Quesadilla | 1080 | 55 g | 67 g | 67 g | 2440 mg |
How Many Calories Are in Qdoba Meals?
Qdoba calories vary depending on the base, protein, toppings, sauces and serving size. A meal containing vegetables, salsa and a moderate portion of protein will generally have a different calorie total from one containing a large tortilla, queso, cheese, creamy dressing and extra meat.
For example, the listed Chicken Queso Bowl contains 750 calories, compared with 1,050 calories for the Chicken Queso Burrito. The difference illustrates how the format and ingredients of a meal can affect its overall nutritional value.

Qdoba Calories by Menu Category
| Menu Category | What Affects Calories Most? |
|---|---|
| Bowls | Rice, beans, protein, queso, cheese and guacamole |
| Burritos | Large flour tortilla, rice, beans, protein and toppings |
| Tacos | Number of tacos, tortilla type, meat and toppings |
| Salads | Protein, cheese, dressing, tortilla strips and other additions |
| Quesadillas | Tortilla size, cheese, protein and sauces |
| Nachos | Tortilla chips, queso, meat, beans and toppings |
| Chips and dips | Chip portion, guacamole, queso and dip quantity |
| Drinks | Cup size, sugar content and beverage type |
| Desserts | Serving size, sugar and fat content |
For an accurate total, add the nutritional values of the ingredients in your chosen meal rather than relying on a generic estimate for all bowls or burritos.
Qdoba Protein: Which Meals Provide More?
Protein supports muscle maintenance, tissue repair and many normal body functions. If protein is a priority when choosing your Qdoba meal, compare the listed protein amounts and consider which ingredients contribute the most.
QDOBA’s menu includes grilled adobo chicken, grilled steak, ground beef, pork carnitas, black beans, pinto beans and selected plant-based options.
Higher-Protein Qdoba Options
| Meal | Protein | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Double Protein Bowl – Steak | 52 g | 1030 |
| Double Protein Bowl – Chicken | 51 g | 690 |
| Chicken Queso Burrito | 51 g | 1050 |
| Quesabirria Quesadilla | 55 g | 1080 |
| Chicken Queso Bowl | 43 g | 750 |
| Keto Bowl – Chicken | 29 g | 410 |
| Citrus Lime Chicken Salad | 31 g | 520 |
| Impossible™ Taco Salad | 31 g | 510 |
Values are from the 2026 nutrition brochure; some items may be available only at participating locations.
How to Build a Higher-Protein Meal
- Choose grilled chicken or steak if you want a meat-based protein source.
- Consider beans for additional protein and dietary fibre.
- Ask whether extra protein is available and check the added nutritional value.
- Compare the protein content of complete meals rather than looking only at the meat.
- Select toppings according to your calorie, fat and sodium preferences.
Adding more protein can increase calories and sodium too, depending on the ingredient. Compare the complete meal before deciding which combination suits you.
Qdoba Carbs: Rice, Tortillas, Beans and Other Ingredients
Carbohydrates provide energy and are found in rice, tortillas, beans, vegetables, fruit, chips and many sauces. The amount in your Qdoba meal depends on how these ingredients are combined.
Carbohydrates in Common Qdoba Ingredients
| Ingredient | Standard Serving | Calories | Carbohydrates |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cilantro Lime Rice | 4 oz | 190 | 38 g |
| Seasoned Brown Rice | 4 oz | 170 | 36 g |
| Black Beans | 4 oz | 140 | 24 g |
| Pinto Beans | 4 oz | 130 | 23 g |
| Flour Tortilla | 10-inch | 210 | 36 g |
| Flour Tortilla | 12.5-inch | 300 | 52 g |
| Chile Corn Salsa | 1 oz | 25 | 5 g |
| Hand Crafted Guacamole | 2 oz | 80 | 5 g |
Source: QDOBA 2026 nutrition brochure.
Rice and tortillas can contribute a substantial share of a meal’s carbohydrates. Beans also contain carbohydrates, but they provide dietary fibre and protein.
How to Customise Your Meal for Fewer Carbs
If you want to reduce carbohydrates, consider ordering a bowl or salad instead of a large flour tortilla burrito. You can also adjust your rice portion and select protein, fajita vegetables, lettuce and suitable toppings.
QDOBA identifies bowls, salads and certain other combinations as options for guests following lower-carbohydrate eating patterns. However, lower-carb does not automatically mean lower-calorie, and individual needs differ.
Qdoba Fat and Sodium: What Should You Check?
Calories and protein are not the only numbers worth checking. Total fat, saturated fat and sodium can also influence how a meal fits your dietary preferences.
Ingredients That Can Change Fat Content
Cheese, sour cream, queso, creamy dressings, guacamole and some meat selections can contribute fat to a meal. Some of these ingredients also provide useful nutrients, so the goal is to understand the amounts rather than automatically avoid them.
For example, QDOBA lists the following values for selected ingredients:
| Ingredient | Serving | Calories | Total Fat |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hand Crafted Guacamole | 2 oz | 80 | 8 g |
| Shredded Cheese | 1 oz | 110 | 9 g |
| Sour Cream | 1 oz | 50 | 5 g |
| Three Cheese Queso | 2 oz | 80 | 8 g |
| Chile Crema | 1 oz | 130 | 14 g |
Understanding Sodium in Qdoba Meals
Sodium is another important part of nutrition information, particularly for people who have been advised to monitor their sodium intake.
In QDOBA’s published figures, a Chicken Queso Burrito contains 2,580 mg of sodium, while a Citrus Lime Chicken Salad contains 1,210 mg. The difference demonstrates why checking the complete meal is more useful than assuming that all bowls, salads or burritos have similar sodium levels.
To make an informed choice, review the sodium values for your selected protein, rice, beans, cheese, sauces and other additions. If you need to limit sodium for medical reasons, consult a qualified healthcare professional for advice tailored to you.
For bowl formats and ordering options, see our QDOBA bowls menu. Check the complete nutrition profile of your selected recipe.

Compare meals by the nutrients that matter to you
No single QDOBA order is best for everyone. Calories, protein, carbohydrates, fiber, fat and sodium answer different questions. A name such as salad, vegan or keto does not describe the whole nutritional profile.
Citrus Lime Chicken Salad
The listed standard build contains 520 calories, 31 g protein, 46 g total carbohydrate, 1 g dietary fiber, 26 g fat and 1210 mg sodium. Compare this complete profile with the other meals before changing ingredients. These figures do not include separately ordered sides or drinks.
Fajita Vegan Bowl
The listed standard build contains 510 calories, 16 g protein, 79 g total carbohydrate, 8 g dietary fiber, 16 g fat and 1380 mg sodium. Compare this complete profile with the other meals before changing ingredients. These figures do not include separately ordered sides or drinks.
Keto Bowl – Chicken
The listed standard build contains 410 calories, 29 g protein, 12 g total carbohydrate, 5 g dietary fiber, 29 g fat and 1120 mg sodium. Compare this complete profile with the other meals before changing ingredients. These figures do not include separately ordered sides or drinks.
Keto Bowl – Steak
The listed standard build contains 580 calories, 30 g protein, 15 g total carbohydrate, 5 g dietary fiber, 45 g fat and 1280 mg sodium. Compare this complete profile with the other meals before changing ingredients. These figures do not include separately ordered sides or drinks.
Street Style Pork Carnitas Tacos (3) Flour
The listed standard build contains 360 calories, 22 g protein, 40 g total carbohydrate, 1 g dietary fiber, 13 g fat and 1510 mg sodium. Compare this complete profile with the other meals before changing ingredients. These figures do not include separately ordered sides or drinks.
For example, the two listed Keto Bowls have different calorie and fat totals despite sharing a menu category. A salad can include dressing and other additions that affect its total. Match the exact standard recipe before using the published number for a personalized order.
Confirm which meals are offered at your local QDOBA restaurant. Use the official dietary guide for dietary labels and the allergen chart for ingredient flags; neither a menu name nor this comparison certifies a meal for a medical need.
Qdoba Nutrition for Weight Management
If you are managing your calorie intake, start by identifying a suitable calorie range for your meal. Your individual needs depend on factors such as age, activity, body size and health goals, so there is no universal calorie target for every person.
These ordering strategies can make comparing options easier:
- Choose your base first. Compare bowls, salads, tacos and burritos before adding ingredients.
- Select a protein. Review calories and protein for chicken, steak, pork or plant-based choices.
- Include vegetables. Fajita vegetables and lettuce can add variety to your meal.
- Choose rice and beans intentionally. Both can provide energy, fibre and other nutrients, but portions affect the total.
- Review calorie-dense toppings. Cheese, queso, creamy sauces and dressings can add calories quickly.
- Check drinks and sides. Chips, sweetened drinks and desserts may contribute substantial calories beyond the main meal.
Avoid assuming that a particular ingredient must be eliminated to manage your weight. A useful approach is to compare complete meals and choose portions that fit your own needs and preferences.
Qdoba Nutrition for Keto and Low-Carb Diets
For people following a low-carbohydrate or ketogenic eating pattern, the main consideration is the total carbohydrate content of the finished order.
QDOBA offers options such as Keto Bowls, salads, grilled proteins, vegetables and selected toppings that can be combined in different ways.
To compare meals:
- Start with a bowl or salad rather than a large flour tortilla.
- Review the carbohydrate values for rice, beans and other bases.
- Choose a protein that fits your preferences.
- Add vegetables and suitable toppings.
- Check the full nutrition information, including sauces and dressings.
A menu item labelled “keto” is not automatically appropriate for every person following a ketogenic diet. Check the actual carbohydrate total and consider your daily requirements.
Vegetarian and Vegan Qdoba Nutrition
QDOBA provides vegetarian and plant-based ingredients that can be combined into bowls, salads and other menu items. Examples include black beans, pinto beans, fajita vegetables, guacamole, pico de gallo and chile corn salsa.
Vegetarian Choices
Vegetarians may consider beans, rice, vegetables, cheese and other suitable toppings. If you eat dairy, cheese and queso may also be options depending on the product.
Vegan Choices
For vegan meals, focus on plant-based ingredients and verify the status of each topping. Beans, fajita vegetables, selected salsas and guacamole can help create a varied meal.
Do not assume that every ingredient or preparation method is vegan just because the main protein is plant-based. Check the official ingredient information, especially if you need to avoid animal-derived ingredients strictly.
Qdoba Allergen Information: Gluten, Dairy, Soy and More
If you have a food allergy or intolerance, checking the ingredient list alone may not be enough. Some restaurant ingredients can contain common allergens, and cross-contact may occur during preparation or storage.
QDOBA provides an official allergen guide alongside its nutrition information.
Before placing an order:
- Review the current QDOBA allergen guide.
- Check the ingredients and allergen information for each component of your meal.
- Tell the restaurant team about your allergy.
- Ask about preparation practices and the possibility of cross-contact.
- Confirm the information again if the menu or ingredients have changed.
QDOBA describes certain options as gluten-friendly, but this should not be interpreted as a guarantee against cross-contact. Anyone with a serious allergy or coeliac disease should verify the current information directly with the restaurant before ordering.

Qdoba nutrition FAQs
How many calories are in a Qdoba burrito?
Use the exact recipe. The published Chicken Queso Burrito has 1,050 calories, while the Quesabirria Burrito has 980. A custom burrito needs an ingredient-by-ingredient estimate rather than one universal range.
Is a bowl healthier than a burrito?
Removing a flour tortilla changes nutrition, but the remaining recipe and portion sizes still matter. Compare complete meals against your own needs rather than assuming every bowl is a better choice.
How much protein is in a chicken bowl?
The standard Chicken Queso Bowl lists 43 g protein, and the Double Protein Bowl – Chicken lists 51 g. Those figures apply to the named recipes, not every bowl containing chicken.
Are Qdoba chips gluten-free?
The current official allergen chart marks tortilla chips as may contain wheat and gluten. Read our chips allergen explanation and ask restaurant management about preparation. Nutrition totals cannot establish allergy safety.
Does this guide identify meals suitable for diabetes or other medical needs?
No. It compares published food information and does not set individual targets. Discuss prescribed dietary requirements with your qualified healthcare professional, then check the complete order and current information.
Are nutrition facts identical at every restaurant?
The guide uses specified recipes and portions. Availability, substitutions and actual serving sizes can vary. Check regional products, seasonal items and local customization separately.
Where can I find the latest nutrition PDF?
Use QDOBA’s official nutrition and allergen page. It links the current documents; a saved copy on another website may be outdated.
Does a blank allergen flag mean a meal is safe?
No. It does not assess cross-contact or the preparation of an individual order. Check all ingredients in the official chart and discuss your requirements with restaurant management. Our gluten-free ordering guide explains the separate wheat and gluten checks.
Final Thoughts on Qdoba Nutrition
Qdoba nutrition is easiest to understand when you compare the entire meal rather than focusing on calories alone. Protein, carbohydrates, dietary fibre, total fat, saturated fat and sodium can all help you assess how a particular order fits your preferences.
A bowl, burrito, salad or taco order can have very different nutritional values depending on the ingredients and portions. Reviewing the official nutrition guide and customising your meal thoughtfully will help you make a more informed choice.
