replies: text: While the ingredients and recipes may be similar, they are not the "same exact".  There are differences.  It's like saying McDonald's and Burger King use the exact same ingredients in their cheeseburgers. 67.41.143.177 14:34, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: At the same time, it’s really not fair to list the competitors without talking about the similarities to Chipotle over other chains. Let’s be honest with ourselves: Qdoba is a chipotle knockoff. It’s not just similar ingredients and recipes (which are almost EXACTLY the same, even down to the cilantro in the rice and the composition of the salsas), but also the decor of the restaurant and the menu options. It might be TOO neutral to mention Chipotle in the same breath as Baja Fresh. Considering that Qdoba opened 2 years later in the same city as Chipotle, I’m highly skeptical of any coincidence, or even any mimicry of the idea as in the BK-McDonalds example. Not all knockoffs are bad, but the fact that Qdoba is basically just trying to replicate what Chipotle does almost precisely should be at least mentioned.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.247.47.45 (talk) 20:22, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

message: The article states:
:"The restaurants have gone through a few name changes. After initially opening as Zuma, the name was changed to Z-TECA Mexican Grill to avoid confusion with other Zuma Mexican restaurants. When that name was deemed to be too similar to Z'Tejas Southwestern Grill the name Qdoba was taken from the Venezuelan occupied territory with the same name. The capital of the territory is San Felipe, birthplace of Venezuelan President Rafael Caldera."
Consulting Wikipedia will show that the state that San Felipe is the capital of is called Yaracuy. There is no state of Venezuela called Qdoba, nor an administrative region. Googling for qdoba venezuela or "qdoba yaracuy" or "qdoba san felipe" yields no meaninful results.  Also the author of that paragraph misspelled "Venezuela". I'm deleting the paragraph, it seems like nonsense. But if it turns out this is correct, or can be restored, then please fix it. I'm also losing the sentences about the old names Zuma and Z-TECA, since they cannot stand alone and I couldn't corroborate. -lethe talk [ +] 02:04, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it's not Nahuatl(what most would colloquially call "Aztec"). The language is still spoken as the primary language in some local areas of Mexico where people of largely native descent predominate. While I don't know what the Nahuatl word is for "feminine", I know the "word" doesn't follow any known grammatical structure for an Uto-Aztecan language. I'm fairly sure the word is just made up to sound "cool"; if one were to parse it out into the closest sounding words in Spanish, it would mean "why mud?"
