Unraveling the Mystery: Is Qdoba No Longer Offering Impossible Meat?

If you’re a fan of plant-based options and have savored the Impossible Meat offerings at Qdoba, recent developments may have left you wondering, “Is Qdoba no longer offering Impossible Meat?” This question has sparked curiosity and concern among those who appreciate the plant-based choices available at this popular fast-casual restaurant. In this article, we dive into the situation surrounding Qdoba’s Impossible Meat and explore what it could mean for the future.

The Unexpected News

On December 11, 2022, we received an email from a VeggL user, sharing their experience of being unable to order Impossible Meat at their local Qdoba in Longmont, Colorado. According to this user, they were informed that Qdoba was discontinuing Impossible products entirely during that week. This revelation prompted us to investigate further.

To get to the bottom of this mystery, we checked Qdoba’s menu online and even attempted to place an order at our nearest location in Georgia. Surprisingly, the menu still featured Impossible Meat, and we were able to order it without any issues.

However, to ensure accuracy, we reached out to Qdoba through various channels to clarify the situation.

Mixed Responses

Our inquiries yielded a mix of responses from Qdoba. The initial response suggested that some locations were considering removing Impossible Meat from their menus due to lower demand.

Still hopeful, we decided to visit our closest Qdoba location to order an Impossible Bowl and Burrito. We inquired about the situation, mentioning what we had learned, and were informed that, to their knowledge, Impossible Meat was not being removed from their menu.

However, hours later, we received a different response indicating that they were indeed phasing out Impossible Meat, although some stores might continue offering it for a limited time.

Clarification from Qdoba Guest Relations

Adding another layer to the mystery, we received a third response from Qdoba’s Guest Relations team, stating that only certain locations were phasing out Impossible Meat, while others would continue to offer it.

The Uncertain Future of Qdoba’s Impossible Meat

So, where does this leave us in answering the question: Is Qdoba no longer offering Impossible Meat?

The answer remains uncertain. Despite the mix of responses, it appears that Qdoba is indeed considering the removal of Impossible Meat from its menu at select locations. The reasons behind this decision could be multifaceted, including factors like customer demand and financial viability.

Interestingly, unlike some other restaurants that have garnered attention for their vegan/plant-based options on social media, Qdoba’s addition of Impossible Meat in April 2019 didn’t seem to generate a significant buzz.
