Last week I noted that Freebirds World Burrito would be opening yesterday in Walnut Creek with a soft opening over the weekend and I had a chance to drop by and check it out. Check out Lady Liberty riding a motorcycle crashing through a sign up top and you’ll know that this is not your average Mexican restaurant. This place has pizzazz. Even the employees are free spirits. I’m not sure if it’s due to the opening but everyone was super nice and helpful. I hope that kind of service continues.
Foodwise it seemed rather similar to Chipotle. They definitely don’t like speaking about Chipotle though. What was funny was when they referred to the flavor chipotle, some customers were confused and so the employees had to explain that they were not talking about the restaurant Chipotle. I love cilantro and Freebirds offers free cilantro to add to the burritos so I was quite happy to see that. You can check out their menu here. Any must get combos?
Check out the massive Easy Rider poster while waiting in line:
