University of Utah students will soon be able to score free guacamole and queso and customize their order at a new Qdoba that will open this week inside new housing on campus.

People are “over the moon” that a Qdoba is opening at the university, said Sean Grube, associate vice president for housing and dining programs at the U.

“When we announced Qdoba, we had a lot of folks who were excited about that, and I would say that it’s not just students, but also faculty and staff members as well, and so we were very excited to be able to bring [Qdoba] to campus,” he said.

Grube said students had been requesting more diversity in the dining options available at the school and have a ”strong affinity” for brands. Qdoba will open Tuesday, the first move-in day for U. students for the fall semester, he said.

The storefront for the fast-casual Mexican restaurant will be located on the main floor of the new Trailhead luxury dorms, just east of the Jon M. Huntsman Center, along with a pho restaurant, a doughnut and coffee shop, and a grab-and-go market.

Grube said Qdoba will be open until midnight seven days a week, “which is a pretty fantastic opportunity for students.”

The restaurant is known for its affordable bowls, burritos, quesadillas, salads, tacos and breakfast items, made to order, in accordance with a variety of dietary needs. It also is known for not charging for guacamole and queso on entrees.

And not just students will be able to order at the new Qdoba: Guests, visitors, community members, faculty and staff are all welcome, Grube said.

“Qdoba has loyal fans, and we’d love to welcome guests from across Salt Lake City,” said Joey Roberts, senior manager of nontraditional business development with Qdoba.

To order from Qdoba, students can use their Grubhub+ account, connected with their student dining plan, to place an order they can pick up from the storefront. Community members and students alike can also place an order for pickup from the kiosks installed in high-traffic areas throughout the main floor of the Trailhead dorms.

People can order from the pho restaurant, All Pho U, in the same ways.

Also located in the luxury dorms will be a location of The Other Side Donuts, which students voted to bring to campus, and a grab-and-go market called Base Camp, which will have trail mix, protein bars and other quick bites to fuel outdoor activities.

Qdoba is a national chain that has more than 800 locations in the U.S., but in Utah, its only locations are on Weber State and Utah Tech campuses.

“Campuses are an important part of our non-traditional growth strategy,” Roberts said, “because our customizable menu, bold flavors and convenience are a natural fit for how students eat.”

Qdoba is planning to also open a location in Clinton in the fall, she said.
