Short answer

QDOBA Queso Diablo has 90 calories in the documented 2-ounce portion and 180 calories in the documented 4-ounce portion. The 2-ounce row lists 7 grams of fat, 5 grams of saturated fat, 15 milligrams of cholesterol, 320 milligrams of sodium, 3 grams of carbs, 1 gram of sugar, and 2 grams of protein.

The 4-ounce row lists 15 grams of fat, 10 grams of saturated fat, 35 milligrams of cholesterol, 650 milligrams of sodium, 6 grams of carbs, 2 grams of sugar, and 5 grams of protein. Both rows identify milk as an allergen. These values cover Queso Diablo alone, not chips, a bowl, burrito, nachos, quesadilla, side, or drink.

Two-ounce and four-ounce portions

The 4-ounce serving is twice the listed weight and exactly twice the displayed calories and carbs of the 2-ounce serving. Other fields are close to double but reflect ordinary nutrition rounding: fat moves from 7 to 15 grams, sodium from 320 to 650 milligrams, cholesterol from 15 to 35 milligrams, and protein from 2 to 5 grams.

Use the 2-ounce row when that is the documented side or topping assumption. Use the 4-ounce row for a clearly larger portion. A visual estimate of cup size or scoop size cannot confirm ounces, so keep the selected row visible and avoid presenting it as a measured restaurant portion when the weight is unknown.

  • 2 ounces: 90 calories, 7 grams of fat, and 320 milligrams of sodium.
  • 4 ounces: 180 calories, 15 grams of fat, and 650 milligrams of sodium.
  • Two separate 2-ounce servings total 180 calories, although other displayed fields may round differently from the 4-ounce row.

Queso Diablo versus Three Cheese Queso

Queso Diablo and Three Cheese Queso are separate source rows. The documented 2-ounce Three Cheese Queso has 80 calories, while the same-size Queso Diablo row has 90 calories. At 4 ounces, Three Cheese Queso is 170 calories and Queso Diablo is 180 calories. Selecting the correct queso matters even though the calorie gaps are modest.

Sodium also differs: Queso Diablo lists 320 milligrams for 2 ounces and 650 milligrams for 4 ounces, compared with 340 and 670 milligrams for the corresponding Three Cheese Queso rows. Do not rename one queso as the other in the calculator or assume their calories, fat, protein, and sodium fields are interchangeable.

The QDOBA queso calorie guide covers Three Cheese Queso in detail. Use this page for Queso Diablo, especially when comparing a spicy queso side, topping, or documented menu combination with the standard queso choice.

Chips and Queso Diablo are separate

The queso rows do not include tortilla chips. The local chip rows list 280 calories for 2 ounces and 560 calories for 4 ounces. A 4-ounce chip portion plus 4 ounces of Queso Diablo would produce a 740-calorie planning subtotal before any other item, based on the two documented rows.

A shared order should be divided by what each person actually eats. Someone may eat half the chips but more or less than half the queso. Estimate the chip share and dip share separately rather than dividing the combined order automatically. The tortilla chips calorie guide explains the weight-based chip rows.

Leftovers also matter. If part of a chip basket or queso cup remains, do not assign the full ordered amount to the meal. The goal is a transparent estimate with stated portions, not false precision based on how full a container appeared.

Adding Queso Diablo to an entree

For a custom bowl, burrito, taco, quesadilla, or nachos order, build the base meal first and add the selected Queso Diablo portion once. Check whether a documented menu-card estimate already contains Queso Diablo before adding it again. The site’s smoky chicken cheese-crusted quesadilla default, for example, already includes a 2-ounce Queso Diablo component.

An extra 2-ounce serving adds 90 calories and 320 milligrams of sodium to the documented subtotal. An extra 4-ounce serving adds 180 calories and 650 milligrams of sodium. Review the complete order with the sodium planning guide, because tortillas, cheese, protein, chips, sauces, and sides contribute sodium too.

Both Queso Diablo rows list milk as an allergen, but a source code cannot settle every allergy or cross-contact question. Shared preparation, recipe changes, and local practices matter. Use current official QDOBA allergen information and a qualified professional for strict allergy or medical decisions.

Availability and source limits

A saved nutrition row does not guarantee that Queso Diablo is currently offered at every QDOBA restaurant or through every ordering channel. Check the current official menu for the chosen location. If it is unavailable, do not substitute Three Cheese Queso in the calculation without also changing the nutrition row.

Nutrition materials, portions, and recipes can change after the saved source date. This article reports the local documented values and shows how to use them in a meal estimate. It does not make a current availability promise, disclose a recipe, or measure a particular scoop.
