Not a chance and there's one reason why...

Chipotle won't last with Panch in town
My wife and I would get the pick 2, usually have a free coupon for chips and queso, or a bogo combo. We probably ate there once a month with those awesome coupons.Qdoba had some really good chicken tortilla soup, that was the reason to go there. You could do the "Pick 2" or whatever it was for dinner, get a tiny bowl of soup and a little bitty burrito bowl, and it was the perfect size.

Qdoba had really good Mexican gumbo. Really miss not having that on Duff.
None of them are all that dissimilar. As long as you aren't a picky eater or have a weak stomach, they should all be fine.
Nothing will ever beat The Flying Burrito
Except Pancheros of course. Chipotle is so manufactured and doesn't even have queso. Its made by McDonalds for god's sake. I'll still be at Pancheros destroying their delicious burritos.
I'm not a Chipotle hater or lover, however how does yet another restaurant of the same type really add much to Ames? I don't get the location and good grief, it's on the same exact road as Panchero's only about a mile away!
Fighting Burrito is absolute dog crap. Whoda thunk that food doesn't taste very good when it's burned. Meat always burned. Rice always undercooked. I'd rather eat a Jack's pizza everyday of the week.
Panch is way better than both Chipotle and Qdoba. Wish there was a Pancheros around here, there's no shortage of Chiptole's or Qdoba's though.
Zach Johnson loves it, I asked him via Twitter and here is his response..

If you support Iowa agriculture you shouldn't eat at Chipotle. Chipotle is a restaurant that uses words such as "natural" and "healthy" to describe their ingredients. These words are not true. The ingredients used at Chipotle are produced in niche markets by unsustainable agriculture methods. Their "free range" ingredients are not any healthier for the consumer. This restaurant does not support modern agriculture, which is the driving force of Iowa's economy! Don't support Chipotle.
