1 | Maybe I am missing what the big draw to Joe's is but I feel like C-U and Campustown have better bars around town. Being a grad student, I think the appeal is usually lost.

2 | Ha, Joe's, or as I like to call it, \"The House of Regrets\" was oddly one of my favorite places.

1 | It can be good, it can be bad. Never attempt to order food for delivery from here. It will take well over an hour and be ice cold and mushy. There is much better drunk food.

Do yourself a favor and get something better. | en | 41 | meh choose chipotle qdoba would choose former places ample seating area comes taste chipotle far superior favor get something better | 20 |

0 | Horrible food, only slightly more Mexican than Taco Bell. Also pretty much identical to Chipotle, which might be slightly better. Their meat is dry, burritos are flavorless, and the salsa doesn't help in either category. Not worth the price. Also the lines at lunchtime can be ridiculous, which is sad. | en | 50 | horrible food slightly mexican taco bell also pretty much identical chipotle might slightly better meat dry burritos flavorless salsa help either category worth price also lines lunchtime ridiculous sad | 29 |
2 | While I love Qdoba for its tasty and inspired food, this location isn't exactly my favorite. It's more expensive than Taco Bell and similar price to Chipotle. In other locations around the state, the food is a bit above other chains but this spot seems to be a bit inconsistent, loud, and cramped. | en | 53 | love qdoba tasty inspired food location exactly favorite expensive taco bell similar price chipotle locations around state food bit chains spot seems bit inconsistent loud cramped | 26 |
1 | I used to go here frequently, but I got sick of being charged for every extra thing (peppers, sour cream, etc). In the end Chipotle ends up being higher quality AND cheaper if you get the extras.
