This isn’t the first delicious Qdoba giveaway this month. We loved the free tortilla soups coupons hidden in The Indy a few weeks ago. Didn’t see them? Don’t worry. We stole your copies and used your coupons. So all you taco lovers, grab as many of your housemates as you can find and drag them across the river, and make sure to leave early: if sports don't bring Harvard students together, food always will...
