One year ago today, we kicked off a long weekend trip to Philadelphia. We didn't have a lot of set plans for the trip other than to go to a Phillies game as part of our neverending quest to visit all of America's ballparks. It was probably a good thing that we didn't have any reservations or set plans since the weather threw all of our plans out the window and we had to just go with the flow.
We left in the morning from the city, ran a few errands, and found ourselves in central Jersey around lunchtime. Philadelphia isn't that far from NYC, but driving this day was really, really slow. We figured it was best to just stop and grab a quick lunch along our route instead of taking a detour since our baseball tickets were for that night. Qdoba was quick, easy, and pretty healthy, so off to Qdoba we went to start our trip eats!
We both got the Craft 2 combination - a quesadilla and gumbo for A and a naked burrito (basically a burrito bowl) and mango taco salad for me. They tasted pretty much the same way they do at any Qdoba, so there really isn't much to say about this visit. Except that it was nice getting to try out their mango taco salad since I don't think I've ever gotten it on previous trips (and now that all the Manhattan locations are closed, even less likely).
Although not the most exciting eats of our trip, Qdoba was a nice start to our getaway. After leaving, we found ourselves smack in the middle of some of the worst Friday summer afternoon traffic. Including errands (which didn't take long at all) and lunch, it took us over 4.5 hours to get from Manhattan to Center City in Philadelphia. Considering how close the 2 cities are, that's pretty ridiculous. At least we got to have a quiet and relaxing break at Qdoba!
