Vegan Options at Qdoba (Updated 2024)

The vegan options at Qdoba are plentiful as they are at the majority of fast casual Mexican restaurants. Where Chipotle has Sofritas and Moe’s offers tofu, Qdoba is home to Impossible Foods.

With ground Impossible Meat, available at select locations, you have many options. If you haven’t given Qdoba a try lately, we strongly recommend giving the vegan options at Qdoba a go.

And if the Tortilla Soup is available, order it! Since this is a limited-time menu item, we share more information about their Loaded Tortilla Soup below in the FAQ. If interested, you will have to ask if it is still on the menu when you visit.
