For a burrito, it's Chipotle 10 times out of 10.
For nachos or quesadilla, it's Qdoba 10 times out of 10. (pretty much because Chipotle doesn't even offer them)
For a burrito bowl, probably a toss-up. Slight lean towards Qdoba since they offer so many more ingredients.

Chipotle offers the quesadilla in the app only.

I’ve been in the US staying in hotels without in-house options. I’ve had chipotle 5 times in the last 3 days.
I also appreciate the new steak.

The flavors on the new steak are good but it always seems way over cooked, like it sits there for hours waiting for people to buy it.
I’m also mad at chipotle… entrees now cost 1625 points up from 1250… fine, story of everything these days… but if you redeem a free entree reward, they apply it to the cheapest eligible item in your order. Order a $12 guajillo steak bowl by itself and you’re good to go. Order a $12 guajillo steak bowl and a $8 tofu bowl and guess which one it’ll apply to. I didn’t even notice at first because I’m usually buying for two… way to stick it to couples and families that are buying a lot from you Chipotle.

Far from it. Looking through my phone apps, Starbucks and Dunkin credit the highest eligible item, as does Wawa. Taco Bell and McDonalds are slightly different in that you get to (or really, have to) pick exactly what to want to apply the promo/free item to. But Chipotle is the only one I know that says oh, if you just buy one item you can use your reward for it, but if you’re a better customer and buy more stuff at the same time, then we’re going to cut your reward value by a third and hope you don’t notice or care. It’s a poor practice.

McAlister’s, Schlotzsky’s and Chili’s apply to the lowest priced item. Place 2 orders to maximize the value.

There is a small QSR chain (started in Utah, but now mainly west of the Mississippi in mostly metropolitan areas) called Costa Vida that serves up pretty good burritos and such. A great alternative to Chipotle or Qdoba in my area.
