The new Qdoba Mexican Grill location on Miamisburg-Centerville Road is now open, employees confirmed today, Sept. 23.

The new location is at 1524 Miamisburg-Centerville Road, at Washington Village Drive. Qdoba shut down its previous Dayton Mall-area location at 2008 Miamisburg-Centerville Road in late July.

Qdoba opened in 1995 in Denver under a different name. Qdoba used to be called Zuma, then Z-TECA Mexican Grill. But because these names were too similar to other restaurants, founder Anthony Miller and partner Robert Hauser settled on the name Qdoba. There are more than 600 locations today and the chain is best known for its Mission-style burritos, a concept from San Francisco. These are customizable burritos with options like roasted chile corn, shredded beef, fajita vegetables, ancho-chile barbecue sauce and a three-cheese queso.
