The vocal preferences of burrito consumers give keen insight to their characters—"all veggies" means they love plants, "no beef" indicates a fear of confrontation, and "this is a stickup" means they'd rather have a quesadilla. Create a burrito in your image with today's Groupon: for $6, you get $12 worth of quick, tasty burritos and more at Qdoba Mexican Grill, which has locations in Modesto and Turlock.

With complex, all-natural flavors, Qdoba fuses traditional Mexican cuisine with inventive modern recipes in a speedy, conveniently delicious tortilla present. As with rainbows, nations, and Model T's, burritos contain a rag-tag team of savories that is more robust when combined, rather than apart. Qdoba embraces this savory wholesomeness with an all-you-can-choose buffet of fresh ingredients ready to be stuffed into tortillas and bowls through a superfast assembly line of professionals. Choose the protein packer of your choice from pulled pork, adobo-marinated steak or chicken, and shredded or ground beef, or opt out of the meats and head straight to the cumin-simmered black or pinto beans. Feel free to douse any creation with any of their five unique salsas and four original sauces, the signature queso sauce (a three-cheese blend with roasted poblanos, tomatoes, and jalapeños), or the smoky poblano pesto made with roasted peppers, cilantro, and nuts blended with creamy hand-smashed guacamole.

If you don't want to create your own, feel free to adopt one of Qdoba's signature burritos, which include the fajita-ranchera burrito, with chicken, grilled onions, red peppers, and a piquant ranchera sauce ($6.29). Or flout arcane building codes by erecting a tower of nachos topped with pork, cheese, beans, sour cream, and salsa ($6.19).
