Everyone knows Chipotle is great, but it’s always so busy, and who likes standing in line for so long?
If you have a craving that can’t wait in line, you can always try Freebirds.
Freebirds is a Mexican Grill Style restaurant, new to Overland Park.
Mostly known for their “pot brownies,” Freebirds is very similar to Chipotle.
“Contrary to them being named pot brownies they do not actually contain pot,” sophomore Rachel Pires said. “However, they’re so delicious, it almost seems like they do.”
Both Chipotle’s and Freebirds’ main products are burritos. Although Chipotle is known for having many different types of fillings, Freebirds has an even wider selection — things like different types of meat, cheese, rice, beans and vegetables. Also, Freebirds includes a choice of wheat, spinach, flour or gluten-free tortillas as opposed to Chipotle’s only flour tortilla. However, everything else at Chipotle is gluten-free.
Along with a large variety of choices, the prices aren’t bad either.
“The pricing is pretty much the same at both places,” Pires said. “The burritos actually costs a little less at Freebirds, but the size is a little bit smaller so it balances out pretty evenly. Freebirds does charge extra to add sour cream, and Chipotle doesn’t.”
Even though Chipotle will always remain a classic, Freebirds is always there for the impatient to fall back on.
