Chipotle or Free Birds?

[Portland Frog]

Given FB is openIng on 7th Street at some point, close to the beloved Chipotle, what are the forum's thoughts on a comparison?

There is no comparison. Chipotle is by far the better burrito.

I won't eat anything that comes out of College Station.

Free birds

I like FreeBird's better. Larger variety of additions/toppings. However, I do enjoy both. But, everyone has varying opinions and tastes.

Granted, I only get burrito bowls so there's the caveat.

I like them both but the atmosphere is better at Chipotle IMO.

Chipotle. Fb is very good and I'd be happy to have one but the spices chipotle uses are more along my tastes.

Free Birds hands down. Chipotle is a McDonalds creation

 

[SuperToad]

While freebirds has more variety, Chipotle makes up for in quality of ingredients. Chipolte

Good, then you can eat it sice Freebirds started in Santa Barbara, CA.

Freebirds hands down. Chipotle too bland.

It's been a while since I had freebird's, but I know Chipotle is one little scoop of main ingredient and the rest is filler. Chipotle blows.

Didn't McDonalds buy Chipotle?

 

[TronCarter]

Do you know what they ordered?

No they sold them.

Freebirds is from California.

It is headquartered in College Station.

They must need whatever's in the water.

I don't go to burrito places, but when I do, I go for the inside information.

According to Wikipedia, the Texas chains are headquartered in C-Stat. The overall business is headquartered in California.
