Vegan Options at Qdoba (Updated 2025)

The vegan options at Qdoba are plentiful as they are at the majority of fast-casual Mexican restaurants. Order a burrito, taco salad (Qdoba has the crunchy taco shell!), vegan bowl or some nachos.

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.

Is Qdoba where you remember Impossible Meat being available? We share more about that below too.

Qdoba Vegan FAQ

Is Qdoba’s Loaded Tortilla Soup Vegan?

Qdoboa offers a Tortilla Soup for a limited time. Is it vegan? Yes! The soup itself is vegan. You can create a Vegan Loaded Tortilla Soup as well. See the information above for what toppings are vegan-friendly. Or visit our article on how to create Qdoba’s Loaded Tortilla Soup vegan.

Is Qdoba Impossible vegan?

Yes, the Impossible meat now served at Qdoba is vegan. Choose one of the Impossible choices straight off the menu or substitute Impossible Meat into any item to come up with your own vegan creation.

Does Qdoba Offer Impossible Meat?

In February of 2019, we learned that Qdoba was testing Impossible Meat and ultimately rolled it out to all locations by the end of May that year.

Around December 2022, Qdoba removed Impossible Meat from many of their locations and chose to only serve it at restaurants that from our understanding, it does well at. Then in February 2023, Qdoba made a statement that they would no longer be offering it.

We still had VeggL users letting us know random one-off locations still had it but that even seems to be gone now.

As of 2025, we are unaware of any locations that still offer it. –> If you happen to know of any that do, please let us know!

Does Qdoba have vegan cheese?

No. Qdoba has yet to offer a vegan cheese.

Are Qdoba’s Chile Creme and Jalapeno Verde Sauces vegan?

No. According to the Qdoba’s Allergen guide, the chile creme contains egg and the jalapeno verde sauce has both dairy and egg.
