Students with a hankering for giant made-to-order burritos are in luck.
One burrito chain is moving closer to campus than ever before — and it has queso.
Qdoba Mexican Grill will open its 19th Oklahoma location inside Headington Hall on OU’s campus in either late February or early March, said Eric Renegar, Qdoba partner.
The restaurant will be located in the southwest corner of the residence hall facing Jenkins Avenue, Renegar said. The restaurant has street-side doors to accommodate non-residents.
The location will have a full menu, including queso, nachos, tacos and burritos, among other items. Students will be able to use meal points at the restaurant in addition to other payment options such as cash or credit card.
The restaurant will join Einstein Bros. Bagels and the Wagner Dining Hall as food options in Headington Hall. Einstein Bros. Bagels opened in Headington Hall in February 2014.
The university contacted Renegar about opening a Qdoba location in the residence hall roughly a year ago, and he agreed, acknowledging student’s penchant for big burritos.
“I think it’ll definitely be a good fit,” Renegar said.
This will be the second Qdoba location in Norman.
Taylor Cochran, communications junior, said he would eat at the new location because it is so close to campus.
Aryan Roozbeh, mechanical engineering freshman, agreed.
“I second that statement,” Roozbeh said. “I like their queso.”
