Since there's no Taco Bueno, Taco Cabana, or Freebirds here, and Taco Del Mar and Taco Bell are just mediocre, I recently tried Qdoba downtown for lunch. It actually was pretty good for a fresh Mex burrito place. You can get burritos, tacos, quesadillas, and other Tex-Mex like food. You can even get corn on your burrito or tacos, which I don't think many other places offer and the sour cream is free. Granted, it's a little more expensive than Taco Del Mar or Taco Bell, but I think it's worth it for a decent burrito in downtown Seattle.
Now, I've always been a Freebirds girl, but since there are none here, I'm very happy that a Chipotle is moving in close to my work. It'll only be a couple blocks away, so I'll definitely go there for lunch sometime. The main thing I don't like about Chipotle is that they only have cilantro-lime rice. Otherwise I guess it's alright for fresh Mex. But I guess I'll have to learn to like Qdoba and Chipotle until Freebirds or Taco Bueno open a store up here.
We moved to Seattle in February 2008 and shared blog posts and photos during our first few years in Seattle.

Freebirds is great but Chipotle will have to suffice, I suppose. I'm a little envious that you'll get to go there now for lunch.
Nice post. I think Freebirds is based in Austin, but we haven't been to one yet since we've been here.
I've had Qdoba in Denver and there is also one here on Camp Bowie actually. It's pretty good but I still like Chipotle and Freebirds. If you don't like the rice at Chipotle, you can request some without cilantro. I've started doing that because I can't stand cilantro, and they don't seem to mind doing that.
I actually went to Qdoba again today for lunch and realized they also have cilantro-lime rice. It just doesn't have nearly as much cilantro as Chipotle.
But yeah, I'll have to try asking for rice without cilantro next time I'm at Chipotle.
