Okay! Food has been delivered. The rather unfriendly delivery man must have scooched into the building with someone coming in. Poor form on the other tenants part, and even poorer from for the delivery. What does it matter, you ask? Well, living on the 6th floor allows us time to "get to the door" when we know they are coming up with the food. And this just makes for better interactions with the delivery person (especially considering that I had a pen at the ready in case the delivery man didn't have one; and of course, he didn't, however, since I had to run to the door I failed to bring the pen and had to go back for it :( )
As to the food itself? Well, obviously, I enjoy Qdoba. This will have been my 9th time having food from them, and other than one episode where I had to beg for limes to put into the coronas, I've never had a challenge.
Opting to enjoy the taco platter first, I've put the chicken burrito to rest in the fridge, so that will be dinner (and likely breakfast since those things are really big!) You'll notice on the copy of my original order, I chose three tacos, one hard shell and two soft. Had the food preparer opted to put the hard taco shell between the 2 soft, I'm guessing there would not have been quite the "adventure" in separating the soft shells. Not a big deal, but still. Oh, and the hard shell, well, I suppose the steam envelope that was created by the plastic plate and clear plastic dome lid allowed it to not be quite so hard when I did eat them.
All in all, the taco sampler was actually quite good, and I was pleasantly surprised with Qdoba's version of a vegetarian taco: black beans and their white rice all held together with some cheese. A nice sampling of their salsa sauces made consuming the three tacos quite a nice journey.
Oh, and Qdoba's home made taco chips and guacamole that I ordered extra were a definite requirement (and in an unofficial survey, Marlene and I are pretty sure Qdoba is one of the least expensive places in NYC to get guacamole. Always a good thing!)
So, if you're near a Qdoba, get yourself a rewards card, get it signed up online, and start ordering up!
